last nights meeting

where is there a negative in switching the end of the kop? all the L1 "hooligans" as the orange wankers see us/them will be moved into the kopites and this will dispurse them and hopefully create a better atmosphere.

Great idea for one reason only, it'll mean I don't have to walk so far.

If you have to ask that question, you really haven't thought about it!

moving the kop would discourage decent fans and families from attending matches due to the increased violence and only encourage more thugs who are looking for a fight. i for one would see it as a bad move. there is enough violence as it is with just the prats L1, can't imagin what it would be like with the whole of the kop next to the away fans. wait, yes i can - intimidating, threatening and scary. especially for kids and the majority of fans that don't want to be any where near a fight.

Anyone who remembers Forest at home in 2003 (Tommy Wright scored the winner) and the trouble at half time when the corrugated iron barrier downstairs between the 2 sections was ripped open would not want a repeat of that on a regular basis

Why does everyone assume that by moving the kop that violence will happen? I happily sat in the kop at filbert street for years without any violence - yes there was alot of banter, but never anything like the violence I encountered on my first game (Newcastle at home) when I was nearly hit by a flying seat!!! I would think (and this is my opinion) that it would encourage people to sing and be passionate about their team - not everyone in the kop is a meat head!

completly agree there is no reason to suggest that there would be an increase in violence.wolves derby forest southaapton middlesbrough etc etc have their kops next to the away fans and there aint a riot there every weeks
it will encorage singing and improve the atmosphere if you ask me,

I remember very well espically after the anguish of getting 2-2 draw at their place in same season.
