Personally i think this will be a 'good' idea in the long run but not a 'fantastic' one. Truth is we won't all of a sudden get 45k home fans every week and any other move the club made would have positives and negatives. The two big positives for me is the increased amount of concessions in a good view behind the goal, and if we fill the current away fan part with ST holders we will have about 3000 singing all game aswell as the sw corner. So probably 5-6000 singing non stop (hopefully).
Slightly wrong. Its a good idea in the short term and a fantastic idea in the long term.
With no away fans near the pitch theres no chance of em getting on the pitch which means no reason for our idiots to run on with them or run on to goad them IE recent mag matches.
Also theres no chance of the new "singing end" being anywhere near the away fans (mags in particular) which hopefully, in the future, possibly, may allow for ULTRA style flags with flagpoles to be brought into the ground (possibly left there permanently, with only their designated owners allowed to have em). Flag poles have been banned for years to prevent em being used as spears, this could be the first step back to creating a decent atmosphere.
Who knows maybe a few years down the line if all goes well and theres no pitch invasions, missiles etc we may see safe standing in the South Stand (Villa are asking about it atm). Anyone who stood at Roker as a kid must surely want the generations since who follow SAFC to have the same experience?
Every journey begins with one small step, mebbes ES, NQ & MB have been (unwittingly?) buying SAFC a satnav?
Dont fuck it up you lot.
