Regarding the current away section. I think the authorities will also prefer them in that end as it’s closest to the town centre/ train station, I shouldn’t imagine they’d want them traipsing to the other end. I just think the authorities should do what they're paid for (by the club) and police the crowd. Its not necessarily all high fives and hellos on match days and they might have to keep a few idiots in check. Football has come such a long way in terms of violence and it really is rare these days compared to the 70's/80s. Also the technology with CCTV means they can pretty much be guaranteed to ID anyone who so much as throws a punch in and around the ground. That obviously wont stop everyone but I think its unlikely to be like the wild west post match just because rival fans have to walk past each other! Well over 99% of us are civilised human beings! I don't think having the away fans elsewhere should be an issue if its the right thing for the club. That said I'm not sure we'd come anywhere near to filling that end but it would be nice to try and would also avoid away fans being able to generate such a good atmosphere which can definitely give a strong advantage.

Not sure why there's any clamour for a change. It's absolutely fine as it is. South Stand has our vocal fans next to the away fans, and flanked by the louder parts of the Kilner and Riverside as well. Family stand at the north end of the ground away from the nasty sweary people at the south end.
Great move by Moore to have us kicking towards the vocal fans 2nd half, and like already mentioned - taking that privilege away from the opposition so that they're kicking away from their fans 2nd half. Best of both worlds and everyone's happy.

I've been critical of the Moore appointment but this small change has given me a bit of a boost. "The stadium belongs to us - it's our home". Like it. Amazed no managers before have considered it, especially Wagner given his history at Dortmund.

Any intuitive that potentially helps us gain any advantage is to be applauded, and any changes this early that say "this a new era" are a good thing - I've been saying since Siewert that not enough changed with each new coach/manager behind the scenes. Looks like we might finally be seeing a new broom...

But the players play towards an empty stand with banners the alternative. They don't exactly run looking up to the upper tier. And there isn't much atmosphere there to gee them on. Most of them look up cos their families are in the big box there. As it stands now the away team get to play towards their fans then after the break Town play towards the away fans. No wonder we have been shit for a few years then if they are looking up that high whilst playing!

It's not always our choice which way we play instead first or second half. Apparently the ref and the two captains do this thing called a coin toss, and the captain that wins gets to choose which way to play or whether they kick off in the first half. To be honest all this modern technology coming in goes over my head. Need to go back to no nets on the goals and a scoreboard in algebra. How about using jumpers for goalposts. It was good enough for us as kids! Lol

This was explained many years ago. The problem is that there would be away fans walking the length of the ground to get to and from their coaches, and encountering Town fans on the way. Far too much of an excuse for a ruckus whereas Plod or stewards can see them straight in and out at the end where they are now. It really is as simple - logical - as that. Keep the buggers in then, it used to be the norm in the 70s and 80s to give the home fans time to set up an ambush disperse. South Yorkshire games were worst and we spent many an hour at Oakwell and Belle View waiting to be released. I remember being kept over at Bramall Lane for 30 mins in 89/90ish,and the announcer said "sorry for keeping you so long...but we're not sorry you lost"!! (We lost 5-1 and i think Andy May scored an goal If I remember right!!

Possibly but I don't remember that bit to be honest.I just remember a corner or cross coming in at the opposite end to the Town fans and Andy May sidefooting it in past either Steve Hardwick or Lee Martin! But it was about 34yrs ago and I was only about 13/14 at the time so you know what it's like with memories from that long ago! Something's stick in your head but sometimes people remember things differently.The only thing I'm 💯 on is that we lost 5-1 and a couple of my mates got beaten up by their fans after coming out of a subway! Lol

Lol I've written about this match a couple of times recently. It was a month before the Hillsborough disaster, so March 1989, and the police marched us around two sides of the stadium before letting us out. One of them said we were 'going straight to the gas chambers'; I assume that he was even wittier at that match a month later.

Hard act to follow was NW, but he will be gone by Xmas. Think I said that about NW. We simply don’t have enough quality. Yet 23 players left in the summer.
The Nagle shit show.

Feels like Fotheringham part II It was stupid to bin off Warnock, but Moore has a reasonable record and will need some time. The mess that would be caused by a second three manager season would be disastrous. So the board will have no real choice but to back him in January.

Boring as shite again, no shots on target against bottom of the table.
We're regressing back to pre Warnock days where once again the players can't seem to perform because of dull, crap tactics.
He'll be gone by Xmas.

If he wants to play a certain system then he needs to be given funds in January to strengthen with players that can do that. I hate how he is using Koroma. Totally ineffective through the middle

I’m not sure what anyone could do with such a poor squad. There’s a reason Warnock regarded keeping us up as his greatest achievement. And the reason he’s so sought after and commands the big salary. To get rid of our biggest asset was just madness. I feel a bit sorry for anyone trying to follow that. Promising attacking football without having a proper striker? Not sure who they’re trying to kid.

You’ve tweeted Nagle 7 (seven) times today, and also mentioned you’ve been DM’ing him. Can you grow the fuck up and stop being such a weirdo?

Reasonable record of ever slightly underachieving with the squad at his disposal.. if he does that with this squad we are in deep trouble. He's not clever enough... his IQ I would imagine in sub par and therefore he's unlikely to bring any sucess other than his ability to be a cheerleader. I'm totally switched off from it now. Went today but won't be going away again in a hurry until I see improved performances from the squad.

The DM effect so to speak, lets see how the team react to this upcomming few weeks of training. The players seem to like him, therefore i hope the next couple of weeks, make a difference to how the team plays currently. The 3/5/2 system is something DM has always played, therefore i hope the players have a better understanding of it come the next game. I am saying hoping, as we need to find a way to be mroe threating when we go forward no doubt.

7 days ago Town set a benchmark of what they were, clearly, capable of against Ipswich. The two performances since have fallen below that benchmark.
It's too early to panic but it's not an unreasonable question to ask, why, things dropped off so quickly?
Fairly or not DM hasn't got much leeway, so I hope we see much better in a fortnight.

I make that about six posts now. I’m not liking these attacks personally and there’s certainly no need to keep repeating the same comments!
