Derby at Home

Recommended Posts

Really annoys me that for cup games, the club gives L1 to away fans. At Derby it would have been easy for them to extend the away corner behind the goal where the away end used to be, but instead they put us down the side to keep their main vocal part of the ground intact. 

 

Instead, we're just going to hand ours to the away team and disperse everyone around the ground, meaning it'll kill the atmosphere, and give benefit to Derby.

 

It's a midweek game, the family end will be half empty. Why not do what they did with the Champions League games and reduce the family stand and then give Derby and extra block or two from there instead?  Not doing this can't be due to the existing segregation arrangements because Derby are getting block K which is beyond the normal cup game away sections, so they are going to have to put temporary segregation in place anyway. 

 

Finally, why have we also given Derby block K, as the required 15% doesn't include that?

If we swapped the Kop with the Family stand, It wouldn't be a problem.

It does make it a bit sad really. Derby moved there away end to the corner and now have a stand behind the goal full of standers. If we swapped ends the same could happen for us. Which would improve the atmosphere massively

What ? 

 

Why can't the Kop stand ? Why would moving them improve that ? 

 

The club don't want whole stands on their feet 

 

licensing issues

So why do derby do it and so many other clubs?

 

Arsenal, United, Man City, Spurs, Stoke, West Brom, Hull off the top of of my head in the premier league have a large standing sections behind the goal next to the away fans
