Lawrie’s Left Peg Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Another example of DC and KM not really being football people (yet). Much still to learn and more listening to be done Assuming one of them sanctioned the Kop closure of course The ends should be the last area to close. Players respond to the vibe of the crowd behind the goal when taking and defending set plays and to the noise generated by shots and near misses. Luton were lifted by attacking and defending that excellent following. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain Owl Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 At the end of the day the best END of the ground is the Lepps. Ok so its not as big as the kop but it has a better view on the upper tier and kicks off a better atmosphere because of the low roof. Shoud never have been the away end. Away fans should have a section of the South stand lower tier lepps side. I remember the olden days playing away 70's thru 80's when we were always allocated an open non atmospheric end giving advantage to the home team. So what did we do at Home, we gave em the lepps. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe things are just as the status quo - someone should bring this to the attention of DC so he can affect change in future? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stockyowl Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Anyone remember the JPT game against Chesterfield? Lower section of kop only, lower North only. Better atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crookesowl Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 It was just.... bizarre. Zero atmosphere as a result. FA Cup 3rd round should ALWAYS have all stands open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC closing Kop for early rounds of the Cups is nothing new and goes back to before Chansiri time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulsar Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 16 hours ago, Royal_D said: Hillsboroughs atmosphere is rarely anything other than poor anyway, Kop or no Kop The atmosphere is good to great at some games when we're playing well and winning and not so good when we're losing. It's not rocket science, never been any different. Do you go to away games? This would help you appreciate Hillsborough a little more as some home crowds are dire apart from the usually terrific noise from the Wednesday end.

Guest Maxine Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 There were zero atmosphere yesterday, it's always the same when a stand is closed even more so when it's the kop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not disputing that for a second. Are you saying this is something that can’t be changed because we’ve done it in the past? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poite Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) Makes perfect sense really. North stand gives a better view and the attenendance meant that you could fit all the fans in the north and south. Why open the kop when you can do that? It's not free you know opening one less stand means no need for ticket turnstiles to be open, no need for stewards, police or catering staff. It's actually a good decision by the chairman.
