Pav Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Hopefully season ticket owners don't ruin it, can already foresee a couple arguments over standing. The Leazes Corner worked since it was a blank slate and started as singing section so nobody had the right to moan about having to stand. Club should have done a better job with this imo, cleared all the season ticket holders out and started fresh. Nobody can complain about being turfed out of their seat, they've done it a couple times with people in level 7 so it's nowt new. Either way hope it works and good luck to those involved.

LFEE Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 The idea is that it'd be a section for like minded fans to get together and sing and wave flags throughout the game and not just pre-kick off. Unofficially, they'd be standing one would assume and Wor Hyem are working hard with Gallowgate flags and the club to ochestrate it. It's exactly what all stadiums need across the country in response to this ridiculous away section at pitch side crap. Away fans and clubs shouldn't feel at home as it should be a disadvantage. Wor Hyem works as a name as it obviously means our home. It is our home. Whilst it might not have a punchy ring to it or whatever it makes sense and regardless of that these lads are really trying to make a positive difference for all match goers. They essentially are teaming up with Gallowgate Flags but are focusing more on the vocal aspects and dealing with the club to obtain a singing section as one of their current main goals. Gallowgate Flags work predominantly with the more visual aspects and their limitations within the ground. It is pretty much the same thing I agree but different people head up different aspects. Anyways...It's good that people are putting the effort into improving the atmosphere. Thanks for trying to answer. Think they should've started with the Strawberry corner then slowly block by block expand it across the Gallowgate. Regardless I hope it takes off as I'd reverse my predominately away games attendance for more home games if it does. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strawberry Corner is probably 99% season ticket holders as is the middle tier, whereas Gallowgate Upper is probably only 50-60%. Far easier to implement it where there's a far smaller % of season ticket holders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far easier to implement it where there's a far smaller % of season ticket holders. My concern is Gallowgate upper volume doesn't translate very well around the ground so would just be self-serving. Strawberry corner has a large proportion of likeminded fans in place already and influence either sides (Gallowgate middle and end of the East Stand). So instead of asking likeminded fans to move just advertise it as the start of singing section and if people don't like it they can move after being given fair warning. Constant flags also won't be seen by large portions of the ground if in Gallowgate upper and I dare say more importantly the TV won't pick them up either.

Heron Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Fair points. Problem is that in the Strawberry Corner whilst there is atmosphere a lot of the inhabitants wouldn't appreciate flags and not being able to see the match all game. I think it's good to have a trial run where it's going to be and then seeing what appetite there is for it. As always though it's a matter of giving it time to develop as Level 7 did and that's in the hope that Ashley doesn't have another but of twattery during that time.

Greg Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Is part of the flag thing not about it being a good visual display? Nobody will see it if they're in the upper tier of the Gallowgate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, a fair point. But the flag displays will still happen pre-match and will simply continue throughout further up the stand. I think it's a safe bet for all involved until it develops. It's no less than what is currently happening. Less people to be pissed off, no ST holders to be moved, it's a fresh project and the club need to gauge the reaction as do the respective fans / fan groups. If it develops it will grow down the Gallowgate and that's the aim. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickthemagpie Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Think the Gallowgate upper is the perfect choice. If you hear fans behind you singing it's almost a default reaction to join in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'd agree with that. Being in the upper tier noise should take hold of the rest of the stand better than if it was at the front for example. Also towards the end of last season when the atmosphere went up a few notches a relatively small amount of singers right at the back of the Gallowgate (200 or so) made a decent amount of noise so with a couple of thousand more hopefully joining them they should be able to make quite a din.

Karjala Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Thinkin about doing the Stadium tour & Sunday dinner on Sunday 6th August. As it looks likely we will announce a friendly that date, does anybody know if the stadium tour would still include all areas of SJP, inc dressing rooms? Or is it a watered down version, that doesn't include areas being prepared/used for pre-match? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I'd check if they even do tours on Match days, they said they didn't when we tried to book on a match day a few months ago but that was a league game mind. Eventually did the tour last weekend actually with me brothers and grandad, was really good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's organised anything like the Kings of Leon concert a few years, we won't be getting any back anytime soon. Was an absolute shambles compared to concerts at the SoL.
