Re: Operation One End - Villareal
And sorry but don't agree with the ageing fan base. I stood on the Kippax 30 yeas ago and I'd still rather stand now and be part of a better atmosphere. Plenty of younger ones seem to prefer to sit down, it's all been about the conditioning imposed by all seater stadiums.
I agree with the stuff about the home vocal support naturally moving to near the away fans but it's not that easy these days is it. i mean it's not like Mane Road where you coudl go and stand where you liked. For me this game is a bit of a one off and worth trying but it would be better to move the away fans to just round the corner.bluesince1969 said:I don't get this concept. At Maine road the boyz were always in the kippax and platt lane near the away fans for banter ect. Then when the new platt lane stand was opened away fans were moved to the north stand so our boyz and singers followed them. When we moved to coms the ppl in the north stand at Maine road were put in the north stand at coms. Atmosphere was terrible at first till we re- grouped at ever side of the away fans. The atmosphere is ok now. If we move the away fans then the atmosphere will be shit where we are now, and we will follow the away fans, our end will then be the 2nd tier bellow the away fans, assuming they are in in the top tier.
The problem with the atmosphere is our ageing fan base.
Ctwd....
