Move The Kop

[Lako42]

Wouldn't have thought anyone would sit near a cop, unless he/she was off duty.:icon_lol:

on or off duty there is still the stench

I was thinking the same BG, see posts 54 & 55.

As has already been said, you can forget any idea of the away fans being moved. The away area was designed specifically to be closest the exit. There is no way in the world there will ever be away fans walking around the ground at the end of a game, in a fairly confined space, mixing with home fans. Won't happen, end of.

Moving the kop - or moreover, moving the people that want to be near the away fans - shouldnt be too difficult, should it? Why do you have to get the club to tell you where to sit?! Does it matter what it's called?

So here's my solution to the whole problem, which I honestly think would work:

1. Take about a third of the stadium, the away end third.

2. Draw a box within that area, and write in Away Supporters. For the sake of convenience, let's use the bit that is currently where the away supporters sit.

3. Call everything else in that third of the stadium, either side of the Away Supporters, the Kop.

4. Go home, have a nice cup of tea. And maybe a Jaffa Cake if you're feeling frivolous.

The club had a survey a few seasons back asking the fans if they wanted the Kop moving, and although the response was poor (possibly as there was very little real promotion of the survey....) the majority of respondents wanted to keep the stadium layout as it is.

I agree with the sentiments of this and will sign your petition. However, the club messed up the set-up of the stadium from day one (due to the interfering authorities I believe) and it's probably now too late to change it. Fans have been in their seats for 5 years now and will be reluctant to change.

Also beleive that there is nothing wrong with the stadium atmosphere when the team are playing well and winning.

I dont think moving the family stand would be a problem Your biggest problem would be the Old Bill sanctioning it .

The Old Bill would stop it.....it's easier to police away fans with them the main road going along it.

Get a team with some feckin' effort....then the atmosphere will awake. Apart from one season (which we had some great atmospheres Forest and Pompey stand out), the team have been a bunch of worthless feckers.

Feckin' N Block thread Mark II

Was a complete failure, so they've moved onto another crackpot scheme

I reckon what we should do is get a few helicoptors in and lift the ground up and spin it round 180 degrees and then drop it back down thus moving the kop to the other end without affecting the family stand too much.

I think the contempt that is shown towards members of the Family Stand is nothing short of shocking.

I'm not just referring to this thread I'm referring to the attitude in general. The kids are the future support of this club, deal with it.

It may well be but there aren't many in there to be offended, most seem to sit the 'kop' end and east stand. All of the crowd at that end could be housed in one corner for a game attracting around 22,000. This campaign really isn't worth the effort anymore, it won't happen. Although if the family section was moved into one corner and the North became vacant I'm sure it would become the new 'kop' within a season.

Wasn't that only last season? The survey was advertised on the website, survey sheets were included in the programme and were available on the concourses. Anybody who had an opinion on it would have been able to respond. The fact is that there was very few people in favour of swapping the Kop and the Family Stand.

I didn't see the survey but I understand the question was asked with no explanation as to why it was relevant. So I'm not sure it was done fairly? I think most fans realise (including myself) that this now won't happen so the south stand need to produce what we did against Brum/Preston/Barnsley on a regular basis for The Walkers to have a decent atmosphere.

doesn't cater for people who can't read......which i am shocked certain folk can cope with, not hinting at anyone in particular

Lookd like the whole N block - L block - South Stand thing again.

Makes no difference where you sit, if the football is worth watchig, the fans will make a noise.

Those who think that it needs us to make a noise before the players will perform to their best are barking up a very wrong tree.

Spot on SJN.

ideally i'd have the away fans next to the KOP like it was at filbert street but its too late to do it now. it shouldve been set up like that from day 1 and too many people would be reluctant to move seats. end of.
