Mr Popodopolous Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 To prevent spillovers onto the pitch when we concede- when the pitch is quite close to the stand it isn't so uncommon for momentum and surges to carry people forward, it happened a few times in 2017/18 when there were big away followings IIRC.

Wolves at the end of 2017, that gutting loss at the last I'm sure a few spilt over. Also recall a few City fans over the hoardings when it was split- think a few hoardings came out/fell over?

I don't think as others have claimed it is about fans getting on the pitch. I believe it is to create a mental feeling of distance between away fans and their team. LJ likes his small margins - we know what he said about Villa away. We get stuck out the way in lots of places and it has an impact. I think he wants the same. And not to take credit or anything (okay, I am fully going to take credit) I suggested netting the front 10 rows off in February 2018, and by August it was done.

Aslong as it ends with a City win I couldn’t careless what it looks like on TV. Could be worse we could have a tent and a garden shed behind one of our goals like the Fewers down the road!

wendyredredrobin Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 Stops the away fans throwing missiles at our goalkeeper. Especially the Leeds arseholes. I hate Leeds, except for Terry Cooper, Norman Hunter and Joe Jordan. We got John Shaw and one or two others from Leeds who were pretty good though, so perhaps it's just their 'entitled' fans wh are the issue rather than the football club.

And the 10% of other clubs are probably those which the police have advised against a full stand allocation or the club don't want to give it to them.
