And need to swap ends, why is there a huge sigh, like we’ve just been told we are starting the game with 6 players and a minus 2 goal difference?
Both ends have a goal to score in, does it matter THAT much? |  |

Can’t speak for others but I’ve always liked it when we attacked the North Stand in the second half. Especially during the winter when it starts light but then gets dark |  | | |

Why wouldn't you want to be attacking the end with your most hardcore fans in the second half? |  |

Not sure if the saying is still around but in the 60s/70s & I guess 80s we always said 'the North stand brings us home' hence why we always (try) and play towards the North stand in the 2nd half |  | | |

For the second half of the 80s and then the early 90s (until the North Stand became home fans only and went all-seater) we used to prefer to attack Churchmans in the second half. |  |

Upsets the ‘rhythm’ of the game? I hate it when it happens.
Teams feel they can get an advantage from it.
Fleetwood changed ends Saturday so we didn’t attack towards our fans in the second half. |  |

Yes.
Always seems to happen at Portman Road when an ex Town player is in the oppo ranks. Bishop is likely to play tonight, we'll see. |  |

North Stand is not exactly The Kop though, is it? |  |

It’s always been the tradition that the team play towards the North Stand in the second half. It’s petty rare that it doesn’t happen.
Although we are now well and truly in the league of sh1thousery, so it wouldn’t be a surprise if all away teams try to change this if they can. [Post edited 8 Mar 2022 16:50]

As you will see further below, attacking the Churchmans in the second half was the tradition once upon a time. |  | | |

In season 1986-87, I don't think Town conceded a single goal when defending the North Stand end all season. |  |
