It habit and fear of not doing what their mates are doing and that’s it. And cos of the stubbornness of a few there’s now a critical mass who have decided the best place for the atmosphere is a stand away from the away fans cos reasons.

Are you describing sheep, by any chance?

Did you read what I put? Jesus, made multiple and valid points as to why.

So my reasoning makes me a sheep does it? Ok. Weird bloke.

The club have messed this up, simple as that.

Do you know what constraints the club were working under?

People said they wanted to be nearer the away fans, people said they wanted to be able to stand. The club have done this within the constraints of the structure and fabric of the stadium and in such a way as to gain approval of SAG.

However, its simply not good enough for some who want to be able to continue to be cosy with their current neighbours, remain close to a main stand packed with (according to some) atmosphere less fans and have an odd opinion of the relative view from a corner as opposed to being right behind the goal.

I really hope they enforce the sitting everywhere else in the stadium, to not do so would make a mockery of the expense the club has incurred.

That first line is the biggest one. There was uproar when they moved away fans to the far corner just 2 months ago.

They've allowed people to move closer than ever to a better spot behind the goal.

Eventually it will move over. Once the first match with a poor atmosphere, there will be an eagerness to move closer to the away fans.

no there won't, people could of moved but most aren't

just because you keep saying doesn't mean it is true

'We want to be by the away fans'
'We want to stand'

NOOOO, NOT LIKE THAT!

Honestly, some of the behaviour from our fans is embarrasing. If you want to stand, go to the standing section. Wanting to stay in the corner is just really odd and it's hardly the end of the fucking world. You'd all be back on here crying in August that there's been a cracking down two games in and you don't see how it's fair that you now have to sit down in a designated sitting down area, and the ones that are in the new section are somehow 'thinking they're all better than us'.

Some right fucking babies here.

Likewise, you do not know what constraints the club were under either, it’s just speculation.

Just because you do not share the same view, does not make mine (and many others) view invalid.

If not the club who decided where SS and instead SAG, then they have ignored what the majority asked for. The fact that there is only 2500 SS seats means they cannot possibly expect to enforce people to sit given the amount of people that stand exceeds this already.

Your view seems too be that they could have put the safe standing and away fans anywhere, which is clearly not the case. True, I am speculating, but my speculation is more realistic than the view that it could have been put anywhere.

I have said before, consultation is not a referendum. Sometimes in life there are compromises. Where the safe standing is may well be a compromise. Fans can either move to the safe standing or stay where they are - the compromise is stay and sit.,

No shit, really?

Still gauges an idea on what people want though, doesn’t it. Club/SAG cannot moan when they go against that.

We will see when everyone realises the away fans are too far away. The atmosphere since the new layout has been poor besides the Leeds game. There's been zero back and forth between home and away fans since the moved.

Some people haven't moved because they have doubts. It's easy to stay where they are.

I have edited my post.

You don't always get what you want

Whilst not consulted on, there has been lots of social media noise about the amount of segregation, the folly of allowing away supporters directly behind the goal, the desire for home fans to be near the away fans, the desire for safe standing.

The solution meets most of not all of the above.,
 
shmmeee said:
Not one person would be in the corner if the ground had always been like this. None of you. “Better view” have a word. Why don’t they out the Premium Zone in the corners then ?

Ah well it was a decent little run of atmosphere in the ground.

Absolutely. There's a reason the atmosphere moved from the Telegraph stand to the corner in the first place.

Malc doesn't realise that the club haven't done what they have advertised. The club have said they have listened to the fans and made "singers" corner safe standing.

Not the away fans, I understand the reasoning behind being confined to that corner. I don’t really care about the away fans that much if I’m honest, has much less effect than people realise.

One of the best atmospheres I have experienced at the CBS was Peterborough 2/3 seasons ago. Their fans make no noise whatsoever and there was no back or forth.

SS in the corner however, it is very realistic to believe they could have accommodated that.

Was that the Friday night game, it was literally bouncing in Singers Corner, my mate took his daughter up to her first game, he was slap bang in the middle of Singers Corner, couple of rows from the back.

I met him for a beer at Half Time and he said I should sample the atmosphere so I moved from my seat in Block 17 to where he was, it was mental up there. All these young lads with their tops off, the smell of BO was heavy in the air and all these teenage girls loving it up there! I think we won 3-0 and scored all the goals in the 2nd Half, my mate's daughter said could she go up there all the time. To be fair we are both in our mid 50's so they probably thought we were a pair of pedos but it was a brilliant atmosphere up there!

You didn't hear the ruckus when they moved from the telegraph stand?
 
If I was renewing this year I'd be bang on the safe standing seats behind the goal.

Safe standing you're not going to get bothered standing up, the atmosphere will naturally move there at some point and the view is infinitely better than the corner.

Notice how it’s the usual losers @shmmeee and @Earlsdon_Skyblue1 who watch on ifollow kicking up a fuss. Neither of you sit in that area so how are you piping up?

@SHUNT31 don’t bother arguing with them, they aren’t actual supporters.

The club have massively fucked this up, why should people leave an area they’ve stood in for 15 years, built friendships etc. The fact you have to move for a ‘once in a decade’ home fa cup game and that you can’t access the rest of the ground from the south stand is more than enough reason to stay where you are.
