Many individuals and groups had talked about it for various reasons ever since the KC opened, It was the Allams who used that to move the hooligan element out of sight and sound.
What hooligan element. How could they be moved out of sound?? I don't think the Allams gave ashit about that. It had been proposed for many years back to AP. Steve Bruce wanted to have fans behind the goal. And the biggy The Allams listened to certain people who were in talks with them as fan representatives, who probably professed to have a mandate to speak for all. Wanted a membership scheme. Wanted a singing section, in the .North Stand, and even gave it a name the New Zoo.
We agree that over the years many had suggested such a move, The Allams petty, vindictive, childish ****s they are but not daft used this to move the name change protesters and their banners out of camera shot. No more of this on national television. please log in to view this image
FWIW I think the current arrangement of the stands is the best possible and now it’s been done there’s no point reversing it. It would just be hell on chairs all over again for a poorer layout.
I had an ex with one of each. Something for everyone there. TBF if you closed your eyes and got the position right you could kid yourself on it was a a threesome.
The one with a purple hoodie is Ten Foot Tiger, who sat in the South Stand, who carried it past me in E10 on the way down with his mate,and came back along the concourse clutching his ribs and out of breath.after being belted by a steward.
Because it suited their agenda - the 'mouthy minority' were split and the Allams didn't have to take the flak for it; the fans had asked for it and they were happy to oblige. In truth? They probably couldn't believe their luck!
I'm sorry, why is everybody banging on about concessions, seat moves and top heavy bar maids? Why is nobody bringing up the real issue, the elephant in the room, the most unfairest of all unfair things? The dizzy penalties competition. They say the contestants have to spin around ten times. Invariably one is slower than the other. They release them at the same time so the slower spinner has never done 10 spins thus being less dizzy and having a distinct advantage over the superior spinning rival. It is not fair.
