Nothing can be done until the summer but is it feasible that the club could allocate half of the T&BS stand to the away fans blocks 5-8 and give home fans the whaddon road end?

Failing that, work has to be done to the PRE raising the roof to the same height as the T&BS stand

As suggested at various forums 5-7 of the I2P and if needs be half the hazelwood ( it can be easily divided above the entrance and access from the canteen
On the odd occassion they bring enough to fill the Haelwood let them have it . As stated no reserved seats or sold on the basis that you will be moved for the premium games if they continue or have any
Perhaps the premium games should be called the rip the away and occasional fan off game

The In2Print is a very basic stand why not give it to away fans. Easy segregation that way.

Pointless as very few L2 clubs need more than 2/3 blocks and, as I said in the other thread, why give them the best seats in the house?

If home fans had both ends that would help the atmosphere IMO. Stick away fans in the corner, most clubs are now allocating away fans areas of the ground where their support won't be as influential. Obviously we can't put them up in the gods like at Newcastle or Sunderland but along the side would be better

To improve the atmosphere overall. Bit of banter between the vocal home fans in the Whaddon Road End and the away fans?

I see what you mean now sorry.. you are saying give them the corner, not the whole of the I2P. I agree, reckon it would work very easily.

No - I and many around me like to sit along the side of the pitch and not at the end - we also dont want to sit in cramped conditions of the main stand - therefore we would like to keep some / at least half the I2P stand please.

Do you agree then when the new stand is finally built it's best to give the whole In2Print to away fans?

I don't see that being a concern for a fair number of years.

Happy to discuss it further when there are firm plans in place for a new main stand, but till then - no, I can't begin to imagine how unbearable the away fans having the whole length of the pitch would be.

:lol: how are you going to work this then? Have them sing a song when they buy the ticket? Make the stewards watch out for the pesky non singers and turf them out?
