A nod's as good as a wink to a blind bat.
Can a section be put forward and properly planned so that it is fully Then for the start of next season make the 2 blocks in the south stand more east side that is practically empty and unreserved section completely. Or even if they cordoned 2 blocks off for the first 10 rows and then say just put some of that meshing over 3 rows behind so if people stand there it won't affect people sat behind.

It needs to be central two sections, at the back if not the whole sections, and get the standing option in there too asap. Forward thinking dynamic changes are needed. It may piss some people off but will attract more. And FFS lets not leave this hanging for another season and let people baggsy ST seats in those areas again.Make the South a pound cheaper on all age groups - small expense and yet another improvement from grouping fans.I'd also suggest closing down a couple more areas of the ground (available only when demand is there) ie the last three blocks on the west and the last one (near the away fans) in the East. Begin the process now and encourage people to move, no need to be dallying farts and wait for next season.And pay for the extra perspex roof extensions that will help hold and amplify the sound.
You can't create "match atmosphere" through focus groups, committees, or any other wooly methods. It just happens if you give the fans a bit of freedom.

I think the Red Faction at Middlesborough would disagree with you on that point Stu, as would the Leicester and Cardiff fans who have all had to reach a compromise somewhere to be able to progress.

The southstand technically is a (Spion) Kop, not the west stand which is tiered in places.And if the police say they'd insist on policing the area, and the club aren't interested because of this, how exactly is it feasible?
I am aware what feasible means, but YOUR confusing feasible and practicality. Granted it would be more practical for the singing section to be in the southstand, but this will be a great detriment to the potential atmosphere we could achieve, if the singing section were in the west stand north. It will just be a bodged half arsed effort, instead of doing the job properly. For those reasons I still think that it is more FEASIBLE for the singing section to be north west area

Just a minute! How have the VSC or the club dismissed anything??We've spent a lot of time and effort talking to the club about these issues. The next fan panel is specifically about match atmosphere.But if you must offer your opinion it would help if you got your facts right in the first place, 90% of other clubs don't have their singing section next to the away fans. That's why I specifically mentioned Middlesbrough, Cardiff and Leicester as I had personal knowledge of the troubles those groups went through.

Well they never made a peep, all their noise came from right next to us, with NO trouble. Backing my argument up about having a singing section in north west corner
