Your forgetting the trampoline in the middle as well. Maybe they can introduce standing there.

We have shown that the ground can produce a great atmosphere. Those who say it can't were clearly not at the game against the Romanian side,
Re: East Stand StandingI have not found proof yet but I read that a steward celebrated the 4th goal. That's just priceless. Please be true! :avbpray::avbpray::avbpray:
To be fair.... thisprickguy raises an issue that might be worth thinking about in the new WHL...
The club are fully responsible for the mess around the standing issues and should be looking to resolve it in a constructive not destructive way as they appear to be doing.
It didn't need a rocket scientist to work out that supporters that had stood at Upton Park for years would be intending to do likewise in the new stadium and the club should have prepared for this before tickets were sold instead the club did nothing so we now have a situation where lifelong supporters wishing to support the side by continuing to stand like have done for years are sat amongst fans who wish to sit resulting in both sections of fans equally having their matchday ruined.
This should have all been avoided no one should be excusing the club for the shambles we are witnessing now, as the club have contributed massively to the problems they should now be looking to accommodate all fans expectations not wash their hands and blame everyone else.

A first for me today. A steward in block 132 celebrating Watfords last 2 goals! I didn't see him when the 3rd went in but he apparently was running along the bridge to the concourse laughing flapping his arm clicking his fingers. A few people who saw him gave him a words. When the fourth went in he laughing with his hand over his mouth.
I went back and laughed. He'd make the same points over and over again, eventually putting them in bold and defending his posts by just restating them, as if repeating them enough made them true.He was soooooo wrong. He made absolutely no sense at all.

Madness. No wonder I got him and Gibbsy mixed up so often.
but the thing is this, and this is what the dildo brothers and their muggy fans dont seem to get (and which our board do). Standing is currently not legal in football grounds. Therefore a club cant market an area as "people that want to stand go here". cos they would be seen as encouraging the support to break the law.To be fair.... thisprickguy raises an issue that might be worth thinking about in the new WHL...

so we have created a work around. one end is one tier. all the noisy people will gravitate to that area, and they will tend to be the people that stand as well
TBH think our club are all for safe standing as we/fans were consulted on the matter. You know the kop/south stand will be where they would implement it in new WHL.
The Wailing WallPlease don't say we're gonna call it the 'Kop'... I prefer White Wall... even though it would bring up all kinds of Supremacist connotations!
What about calling it the floating shelf?
In fact I think there would be nothing wrong with keeping some history and naming it the shelf.
