Bayfox Posted 10 March 2015 Posted 10 March 2015 Is Forest's end called The Bell? No but man UTD fans did try to crash a poll when man city moved and get and end named after Colin bell.
blueharmie Posted 10 March 2015 Posted 10 March 2015 Club don't care. Why do they want more aggro with loud fans standing up next to away fans? That's why it's more expensive. The times of the away fans and the piss taking has gone. Except for a small pocket in l1.its dead lads and we all know it. Has been since moving.
jonthefox Posted 10 March 2015 Posted 10 March 2015 But isn't the East Stand called the Gary Lineker stand? Or did I make that up? Also, isn't the kop the Fosse stand?.
Voll Blau Posted 10 March 2015 Posted 10 March 2015 Most of our fans don't have the mentality for it. That's all there is to it. Don't blame the club, layout or anything else. Sorry if the truth hurts.

Sorry if the truth hurts. Most of the clubs current target market don't have the mentality for it. I bet if the prices dropped to £10 a game we would get the guys back who want to sing all game and not just wait to be entertained. It might take 10 years but it would happen.
Bert Posted 10 March 2015 Posted 10 March 2015 Because the club did there best to split sk1 and 2 by sticking the away fans next to the east stand and family stand and diluted the standers we had. I loved sk1 at Filbo partly for the standing partly for the fact it was next too the away fans. But also I like watching the game from behind a goal. So I stuck with sk1. Couldn't for the life of me watch a game from l1. But some would rather be next to the away section and that divided the standers. Actually....The police requested the away fans were situated where they are due to wanting to get the away fans out as quick as possible to lessen any trouble and have you noticed the sun always shines onto the North Stand? The club didn't want (at the time) it's "core payers" of season ticket holder to have the sun shining in their eyes.

Monsell1976 Posted 10 March 2015 Posted 10 March 2015 I thought the title was going to say, why don't we have an end to the season, and I would have posted please, end the season, end the suffering
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 10 March 2015 Posted 10 March 2015 When I was a teenager, I always stood in the "Filbo. Kop." Great days
purpleronnie Posted 10 March 2015 Posted 10 March 2015 I blame the fans for not organising themselves when we moved to King Power, it would have been easily achieved to transfer fans from the Kop at Filbert to a part of KP...but we did nothing.
Stadt Posted 10 March 2015 Posted 10 March 2015 An end full of blokes in shades would look mint. :cool: :cool: It'd look shit, bald fat 40 something's in timberlands with shades on
Sir Fynwy Posted 10 March 2015 Posted 10 March 2015 I blame the fans for not organising themselves when we moved to King Power, it would have been easily achieved to transfer fans from the Kop at Filbert to a part of KP...but we did nothing. Lots of the old pen1 crowd moved to the new KOP but they were spread out across a much larger area and mixed with people from the double decker. Pen1 grew up out of a terrace, then non reserved and finally reserved seating whereas the new KOP was thrown together by a club in serious financial difficulties with no desire to help everyone stay together, it would have been a miracle if the old pen1 lot had managed to organise in the face of this.

I look at it slightly different to most. People sit in the Kop because it is the cheapest part of the ground. Therefore you get a wide demographic. Some want to sing, some want to stand, some want to jump up and down. The attraction of The Kop when the stadium was built wasnt the continuation of the atmosphere, it was the prices.
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 10 March 2015 Posted 10 March 2015 When I was a teenager, I always stood in the "Filbo. Kop." Great days Why not come back and help make it great again?!
Guest CityFan 06 Posted 10 March 2015 Posted 10 March 2015 I sit in SK1 (Kop) and I personally feel Filbo Spirit are doing a great job and continue to do so in terms of creating an good atmosphere where we are which is at least one positive perhaps. I do understand about having our own end though.
Monsell1976 Posted 10 March 2015 Posted 10 March 2015 Why not come back and help make it great again?!I would leave l1 if the kop returned to being a kop, but it's clear the majority of the kop barring FS, are quite happy sitting in silence.I say this from experience, sat in sk1 v Newcastle, and barring the top 10 rows of sk1, the rest of the kop was silent. My point being is, to make the kop a kop, it's not the stand that's the problem, but the people in it, and I doubt all or any would vacate their sets, to let fellow atmosphere wanting fans in

Very true, but if the price was 10 quid a ticket all the riff raff would come back and the fans who don't want to be surrounded by them would pay that little bit extra to sit somewhere else.
skmanuk Posted 10 March 2015 Posted 10 March 2015 Just sit down and stop pi$$ing off people who've paid £40 a ticket.
Guest bss9401 Posted 10 March 2015 Posted 10 March 2015 If a club like ours were to make the front half of SK2 and SK3 safe standing the section would rock. I believe that would be the envy of the PL and would break the modern mould. I wish that a club would show some balls and at least attempt to replicate what is being achieved all over Germany.
The Doctor Posted 11 March 2015 Posted 11 March 2015 Just sit down and stop pi$$ing off people who've paid £40 a ticket. So, don't enjoy your fourty squids so someone else can enjoy theirs? How about instead, if you want to stand, go to the back and if you don't want to be near standers, go at the front or areas like the west or family stand? Without official standing sections it's not clearly signposted, but working it out isn't rocket science
Bayfox Posted 11 March 2015 Posted 11 March 2015 Lots of the old pen1 crowd moved to the new KOP but they were spread out across a much larger area and mixed with people from the double decker.

Getting a ticket was a minor miracle we had no end of trouble trying to get 8 together on the back few rows when we moved grounds. As once everyone worked out that all parts of the ground had a generic view and the kop was cheapest. What do you think happened.

They should have done something like Cardiff and had a separate entrance in and out. All they have done is cause themselves mote problems by letting away fans out at the same time and allowing 50 or so percent of our fan base to walk past them at the same time. The amount of chavs wanting to try and get involved around that roundabout over the years is embrassing.
cc_star Posted 11 March 2015 Posted 11 March 2015 Because our ground layout is shite. Not really Pen 1 & half of pen 2 were singing sections, a paltry amount of singing fans... made to seem louder by the 'roof' of the double decker An end would make no difference to Leicester fans
Dan Posted 11 March 2015 Posted 11 March 2015 Not really Pen 1 & half of pen 2 were singing sections, a paltry amount of singing fans... made to seem louder by the 'roof' of the double decker An end would make no difference to Leicester fans What have pen 1 and pen 2 got to do with our current ground layout? It's a rubbish layout for atmosphere. The top half of the kop was full of people who sat at Filbert Street meaning that the front half will end up sitting too. The family stand is next to the away fans and consequently our main singing section is a limited block by them, in a relatively expensive part of the ground. The fans have a lot of the blame to take, the majority actually, but the layout is rubbish and will hold back our atmosphere.
