Pompeyowl Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 So a lot of people are complaining that the atmosphere at home at times can be rather bad. We've had Home away days before, why not make the upper West a Home away stand? All those who get to away matches and make a racket no matter the weather or result go in the upper West. We could put the away fans in the bottom tier, or if the away team bring a large following, put the rest of them in the corner. Would any of you swap your seat on the North/Kop to have a Home away ST on the upper West? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest crookesmona Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 So yet another fan who thinks that people in the South Stand shouldnt even be mentioned in this topic.. i get to a fair percentage of away games and sing as loud and as long as most.but obviously we dont matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pompeyowl Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 Dunno whether the Health and Safety Authority would allow it after the Leeds incident Shouldn't really matter as long as we're segregated properly. Notice how close Chelsea fans were to Spure the other week. Why can't it be like tatat Hillsborough?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that a large percentage of the South are a lot lesd rowdy than the North/Kop and I can only imagine are a lot more prine to being offended by your average away fan who enjoys themselves.

Pompeyowl Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 it wont work cos its still a home game! an away match is a totally different beast,people go with a day out mentality,gettin to boozer at opening time etc its impossible to get an away match atmos at an home game imo Is worked for the odd game in the past. Why would it not work every game? Don't see why it can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davidioso Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I find the whole thing quite bizarre. About as logical as an Andy D'urso decision. Surely we can organise it so that a section of the Kop is more voiciferous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest beatleowl Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I'm 24 sit on the south with our old man and there isn't a more passionate Wednesday fan than me. Don't tarr us all with the same brush. Some of us sit with relatives who have made us Wednesdayites rather than flipping off with our mates to be poorly heads at the back of the kop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davidioso Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Off you go then How you gonna do it? dunno maybe designate 2000 seats at the back, have leaders with hymn sheets at the front of the designated area facing the crowd to keep them engaged free paper megaphones on all seats or some other frivolity, ...whistles or something! how difficult can it be?

See what I mean ? We've had two home away days that went well We've had nothing organised on the kop in any seriousness It's not as easy as it looks to organise and sort things - home away day being an example of when we try to do something for the fans, by the fans, that's enjoyed by our fans It's easier to join in and enjoy something like this than to not, criticise and want something else organising instead Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually a lot of the spanish clubs have a song leader. He has a megaphone or amplifier of some kind and faces the crowd. When I've heard it on TV it sounds good and loud.

Pompeyowl Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 I'm not giving up my view and a half time pint for the 'facilities' on the West Stand. What if the facilities were improved? For me I'm more interested in the atmosphere than how nice the bog smells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
