Away fans downstairs?

Think we get a year to change it so from the season after next. No way it could happen next season now season tickets have been sold.

Aye that’s what I was wondering. If there’s a time limit on it.

Think there’s only a couple of clubs who get away with it on safety grounds. The mags being one of them. Doubt we’d have that as an option given the stadium was designed to have the away fans in the South Stand.

disagree, it seems that many believe the atmosphere is affected because the away lot are upstairs, but i believe next year the SOL will return to being a cauldron

This.

We need to fight as much as we can to prevent the away fans being shifted. It would not help at all if they are pitch side.

Only the mags isn't it, can't think of any other.

No way should they go back in the South stand, well not behind the goal anyway. Absolutely hated it when they were there. They need to go in a corner.

Which can be overridden if the police/SAG insist otherwise. That's how the Mags manage it. If NP say the away fans have to stay upstairs, that's that.

We have a stadium designed to have away fans in the lower bowl. Can’t see how we’d get around that fact tbh.

But things change. The mags used to have away fans in the lower bowl iirc, going back to the 90s pre extension. As I mentioned before, if hypothetically,
the PL offered to give the mags £100m to shift the away fans, I'm sure it would no longer be impossible and they'd get it done. We all know they've thought of an excuse to help benefit themselves.

Mind I don't know why the PL are enforcing such a thing, it's daft. Clubs should be able to locate away fans wherever they wish.

Need to give away fans the full allocation of 3000, so hopefully we get our full away allocations
