try being in the family stand.
first of all we have to walk all the way around the stadium to get in, then we have the away fans hurling abuse and objects at the kids.

Surrounded??? f**k me you've got good eyesight :D

As I remember it back in those dark days on the bob the nearest fan or small group of folk as dull as me were twenty yards (18.288 metres approx) away. The burgers were shit and cold, the pies were shit and cold, the bovril tasted like ant piss and I got soaked when I went for a slash. Invincible we were not, cold, depressed and thinking of Doors songs perhaps. How times have changed............

The trust should appeal to move the family stand to the canton stand to stop them being frightened and abused, they are our future, lets keep them safe so they will want to come again. :ayatollah:

The trust should do whats its members ask and all evidence suggest very few people want it moved

Way I see it, the Family Stand is often the first to sell out.

Switching ends will surely give them more room to put families in?

I couldn't care less about the lack of atmosphere, every time I've been down barring Plymouth last season (when I sat in the Family Stand) the atmosphere's been fine and I've sung myself a bit hoarse at the very least.

If you go week in week out you have to accept that the atmosphere will not be spellbounding every week as some games just will not be as inspirational as others.

If the team give us nothing to support (as with a 20 minute or so period in the Scunthorpe game when we went VERY quiet) then why should we support sub standard play? If they're struggling but fighting we'll support them all the way, but some of the recent ones (jacks & forest) have been insipid capitulations, with little to no fight from the players at all.

Show us passion, and we'll show you passion.

No change of ends will make the players pull their fingers out of their arses.
