im happy where i sit in the west stand. However if we moved home fans to the Jimmy seed where would the away fans sit? As it said in the Match programme from Charlton vs Palace ther would be alot of issues to sort out if we moved to the Jimmy seed.
Me neither. Perfect seat near the half way line in the West where I sit with the family, 2 of whom own lifetime seats there. Would have to move if this happened so am strongly opposed to it. Understand the motives for the idea but it just wouldnt work and would upset a lot of people.
This may not be popular but has anyone considered the possibility that it might actually have the reverse impact to that intended.
By splitting the core vocal element you may worsen the atmosphere. Some of the new all wrapped stadia I have been too have had a really poor atmosphere because there is no particular concentration of the vocal support. And this topic first got off the ground because of the poor atmosphere.
I'd be loathe to lose my great view from N upper BUT seeing as Pards nicked my idea I would definitely. Pards give me a ring mate if you want to chat over any other ideas.
I'm too comfortable with my Duralex and my Burberry blanket in the East thank you very much. Athough as we are talking about the stadium, who designed the walkways in the East? With the steps up and down and the iron rallings that happen to obscure my view slightly! So much for an obstacle free stand
never in a million years, always has been and always will be the 'away end' to me....I'll hopefully get a better seat in the North when everyone moves !
The problem is there's no point in us opening up the SOUTH STAND ;-) to home fans if they aren't going to be vocal. The whole point of this move would be to make the ground more intense, not dilute / thin out where the vocal groups are gathered.
Therefore the club should be looking at offering some sort of incentive to get the vocal fans from the North Upper & Lower to swap en masse.
I would swap. But only if I knew other like minded people were going to do so and I wasn't going to be stuck amongst the SIDDARN brigade......
the answer isnt moving to the jimmy seed.i sat in the east stand block a for the palace game and the atmosphere and banter between fans was amazing.to improve the atmosphere the 'singers' should move to the east blocks A,B,C
My season ticket used to be in there when it was split home and away. Had a great seat, great atmosphere... but I wouldnt go back there from the North Upper
[cite]Posted By: blackheathaddick[/cite]Im sure when I sat in there for the Reading game last season there was less leg room than anywhere else..?
Absolutely, the last time I sat in there I lost all feeling in my legs below the knees after about 15 minutes. No wonder they always stand all the time.
Splitting the vocal element isn't going to be a problem if no one can hear the North Stand at the moment. Judging by the response it would be best to improve the acoustics of the north stand. Still, it would be better for us to have our blanket brigade in their then away fans.
i wouldnt move there until they redevelp it, in all honestly, its a dump. when its redevolped, the away fans would be put in one of the "new" south corners that will be built.

All able bodied adult males aged 16 to 24 will be called up and be forced to either move to the Jimmy Seed stand or go to Palace.
Problem solved.
At that end we would be in a better position to reclaim the Antigallican as well.

Is that a load of b*ll*x?
