If you were the chairman, what action would you take?

[slyfox]

offer them a BOGOF next game

I've never unserstood this thing with "moving the Kop". It's not as if the place you want to move it to (L1, I believe) doesn't have seats, so why not just get a ticket over there instead? Why do you have to wait for the club to tell you it's OK to move seats, and why does it matter what the seating there is called? Would it somehow be better if L1 was renamed The Kop? How so?

in the old filbert street[ kop] i would sing,because it felt good and it was better because it was next to the away fans,and you could really get behind the side

in the walkers its hard sometimes to get behind the club because you feel out of place which is such a shame,even away fans have said how quiet we are.

also a lot of away fans would tell you they did not like filbert street because they felt intimadated.

i think this is a big issue that needs rectifying

Why are the away fans so important to our own atmosphere?

 

[spionfox]

Why are the away fans so important to our own atmosphere?

Because hopefully we respond to their chanting, singing and provocation.

It's not as if there has been anything on the pitch to respond to in the last few seasons.

Right, so we let the away fans dictate our atmosphere?

I refer the honourable gentleman to my earlier response. It's not as if our atmosphere has been dictated by events on the pitch recently is it.

So we move all members of the Family Stand to another location because the football's crap?

Eh? What's that got to do with letting the away lot dictate our atmosphere?

Surely our traditional 'hard core/kop/etc' shouldn't need to be next to the away lot just to respond to them like at Filbert Street?

1. Ring up Curry's to enquire about two supplementary auxiliary speakers to go with my midi hi-fi system, apro po achieving surround sound.

2. Go for a walk down the motorway to the service station for some windscreen washer fluid and a breath of fresh air then sing Goldfinger on the way back.

3. Dismantle Corby trouser press.

4. Go for a drive round the ring road and call in at B&Q to buy some tungsten-tipped screws, even though I'm never going to use them.

5. Dress up as a Zombie using a shower curtain as a flap of skin, a flex from a mini-kettle as a tail, tomato ketchup as blood, some biscuits selotaped to the face as dry skin and some tungsten-tip screws as claws.

6. Go and attempt to steal a traffic cone.

I think, if being next to the away fans is of paramount importance to you and affects your enjoyment of the game so much, why don't you just buy a ticket in an area next to the away fans? It aint rocket science :icon_conf

I got confused by your argument, I thought you were favouring moving the kop, I now see you wasn't.

 

[spionfox]

The Kop is just fine where it is. The atmosphere will not change just by 'officially' calling L1 the new Kop.

Re: if you was mr chairman [wot would you do]

Here we go again!!

Is it not a fact that everybody who wants to sit next to the away fans can already do so? The fact that not all the seats are taken seems to suggest that the Kop are perfectly happy where they are!

And why would the Kop want to sit with the sun in their eyes?

'Kop' why are people still insisting that there is such a thing?

Kop - 'The stand where people sit hoping to soak up the atmosphere of a minority but have no intention of creating any themselves or/South Stand)'.

 

[Redditch Fox]

I don't think that anything can be done to restore the atmosphere to that of old grounds like Filbert Street. It's just one of those things - broadly speaking The Walkers is a better place to watch football than Filbert Street - but it's plastic not old iron.
