This suggestion was asked the other night at the fans panel.
Answer was the police either wont allow it or strongly advised against it.
What is the fkn problem. Both sets of fans are apart and any problems keep away fans in after the game for 20 mins.
OB crapping it again for no reason. |  |

Why? |
Why would some not be happy?
If that is what you were asking I would think if away supporters were moved towards the North Stand then Cobbold ST holders evicted(me included) would not be too pleased.
If an element of the North Stand relocated to Churchmans, I would think that some currently in Churchmans would not be too impressed.
If, as seems likely, the ST letter to such as myself says that we may have to move more often to accommodate larger away followings then I might move my ST elsewhere anyway.
edit-of course you might have meant why did I never go to the Baseball Ground. [Post edited 22 Mar 2018 21:59]

Can you name another Championship stadium where the away fans are placed right next to the area where the most vociferous home fans are situated? |
Norwich do it, and the atmosphere there due to the banter both of us give makes it a hell of a lot more fun than any derby at our gaff I have to say. |  | | |

I meant, why would you not be impressed?
And why would Churchman's not be happy with Northstanders infiltrating them?
Baseball ground was nothing special in the eighties when I went |  |

as has been said if North Standers want to be near away fans, just move themselves, its not like there isnt plenty of room thesedays | | | |

Or people in the north stand who are more lively could just move to the green king. |  | | |

If we moved to the churchmans, the fans currently in there would get the right ump. How dare anyone sing away from the north stand |
Sorry Rommy - but that's a load of bollox too!
The SAR is the place to be when Naarwich come to town. It could be the same for every game if people cared enough to join us! |  |

‘The place to be’
Really? I didn’t hear a peep from the south stand when scum came to our ground this year. Be lucky to see them join in with some clapping for Singing The Blues at half time |  |

Would the club be so lax on standing if say 200/300 North Standers organised to move to the Churchmans in that corner? If they won’t let us stand at that end, it’d be rubbish.
I’d be up for trying it, but there’s no chance of any decent number of Town fans getting mobilised and actually doing it. |  | | |

I’d try it if I knew a decent number were too.
But I imagine even if a decent amount moved, it would be ruined by the season ticket holders in that area moaning throughout the game that we were ruining the ambiance of their finger sandwiches whilst the stewards spend the whole time wearing themselves at us standing up. Would be a horrendous experience unless it was relaxed like in the north stand. | |

If they served fish finger sandwiches with onion rings the Churchmans would sell out. | | | |

It would improve it,it was miles better at the Leeds game.
But so would a change of manager with a more exciting brand of football. | | | |

The point remains the same. The noisiest fans at all five grounds are now nearest the away fans. Even if that wasn’t ‘tradition’ back 50 years ago |
I agree PJH is bang on about traditional partisan support but equally if you're coming in blind without going to most grounds every season for the last 50 years you can understand Rommy's point.
I personally think the 2 Leeds ends (behind each goal) are equally loud, both stand and make it uncomfortable for the away side. |  |

Here you go again slating the town fans!
In that corner on the South stand is where some of the hardcore town fans sit,i doubt they join in on 'more fun if you all join in ' chant.
Funny enough i thought how quiet you were walking down the road from the station in Norwich!
They way you act on here i was expecting you to stride down the road shouting SCUM SCUM SCUM! | | | |

He's right though. Churchmans is like a morgue and our STH have a propensity to moan about everything even when the club write to them in 6 months in advance and offer to move them to another empty part of the ground with no atmosphere. | |

If that's the case the North Stand supporters need to move to Churchmans |  |

Don't be so touchy.
All he's saying is that moving the main singing/standing area is bound to cause conflict with some of those who already have tickets there and don't want to stand and sing. I didn't even see it as any criticism of the south stand lot, just an observation.
I think that's fairly obvious - look at what happened at West Ham when they moved grounds and the singers were split up. | | | |

This is the whole point. The atmosphere would only really improve if exciting and entertaining football were being played. Atmosphere won't improve for the vast majority of fans by placing groups of pretend hooligans trading insults and gestures in close proximity. | | | |

Wasn't the traditional home end at Baseball Ground behind the goal. Would assume fans moved enbloc but have migrated to the current position closer to away fans.
Can think of a few fans in Legends who wouldn't be happy. |
The most vociferous part of the Baseball Ground was the Popside, an abbreviation of Popular Side. Unsurprisingly, it wasn't behind one of the goals. |  |

Yep,their lads were on both sides, primarily the left as you looked at it from the away end.
As for Derby now, they have always been next to the away fans since their move. Originally the away fans were behind the goal so the home lads went in the corner. Then it swapped 2 or 3 years ago.
Forest's main end has always been the Trent end but they then had a lot of lads in the side stand who have mostly now moved to behind the goal next to the away fans.
Leeds' Kop will always be their main end.
As for fans moving. Most clubs have a good sized section that have relocated to be nearer the away fans. We are the exception which I put down to the anticipated reaction from the club.
I can't imagine a scenario whereby the club were open to 300-400 moving to the south lower and allow standing or anything that you would need in order to create an atmosphere.
But if they did, I'd be up for it, know a lot that would and I'm sure it could be done. For me, the North Stand is done. It's soulless and the spark and history was left behind when it was re-built.
At 38 I'm just old enough to remember the West Stand and sat in there for a while and it was cracking. Something remotely like that on a bigger scale is what's needed. | | | |
