Lifetime Owl Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 First post for ages so go easy on me !! i know its been discussed before and am aware it would really get properly addressed if we ever got to the Premier League , but is it a option to move the away fans to somewhere else as it does my head in to see the Lepp constantly empty. i know the concourses below would have to be adapted with walls and stuff for segregation but what about the corner of south stand like they do at Leeds,Villa,Everton...we can have Owls fans behind both goals and have offers on to somehow fill it which i know is the hard bit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manwë Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 The away end would be the first thing to be demolished if we ever reached the EPL. A 3 tier replacement has/had planning permission, presumably these 3 tiers would offer flexibility depending on away numbers. The stand needs to be consigned to the history books. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Financial... the increase in costs through more staff stewarding the South stand on segregation lines. Stewards currently position on the away end would have to stay there to deal with the home fans. 2. Atmosphere... the 3 home stands are already empty in sections, introducing a 4th stand would make fans look more sparse. 3. Agg... the end block on the north which includes what the club deem the "risk group" will move onto the South to be as near as possible to the away support with only a line of yellow jacketed flesh separating them. Sections of seats would also have to be netted and you'd lose some of the prime central seats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With hindsight it just have been floored in 1990. As for away fans, they should just use the lower lepp atm. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plonk Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 (edited) With the numbers that the likes of MK roundabouts and Wycombe bring, we should give them a executive box.

HopefulOwl Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Don't we need to fill the rest of the ground with our own fans before we think about putting us in the away end too..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleSeven Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 I like opponents fans in the Lep. The issue right now is sometimes there are so few of them it hardly seems worth opening the bloomin thing. It would be a problem if the rest of the ground was full to bursting and we needed the room. But it isn’t. As has been said the thing needs knocking down but so much of the ground needs redevelopment it’s too big a job to even start. I’m sure the far future holds a new stadium at some point. But hopefully it will be after I’m dead. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thekimmyowl Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Ive often thought if they went in the upper grandstand it may kickstart the south stand into a little activity. lower leppings lane is the obvious choice in this league with the exception of the likes of Sunderland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspector Lestrade Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 I reckon the South stand would do the North stand any time... you know where we are!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
