ItzzOwl Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 I get it wasn’t the most glamorous of cup ties today, but I just don’t get why the club would not open the Kop and instead have us not kicking towards our own fans at any point during the game. (Bar the sideways passing!) Surely if it meant opening it up, but lowering the ticket prices, then that should happen. It might still only bring the same revenue in, but at least the players wouldn’t be kicking towards a sea of blue seats. Am I missing something? (Maybe there’s logic) Side note - fair play to Luton, that was a cracking following! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew_Owl Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Probably because the view from the North is better, however I do love the kop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddy Repperton Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Stupid idea empty kop. No atmosphere from our fans, and giving them full end created "home" atmosphere for them. Although the performance was hardly inspiring. Yet another useless ref also! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i used to be sc_owl Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 If we had a Kop with no restricted viewing, it would be open. Those pillars infuriate me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reallondonowl Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 I was shocked to see Kop shut - can never remember that having happened in my lifetime tbh. It does not atmosphere psrticularly against s strong Luton following. it is our home end after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
