Total fucking retards who understand nothing whatsoever about football, the dynamics of football matches and support.
Who is responsible for this decision?
I tried asking them, but no response.
They need fucking sacking.
Open Kop = 'proper game' feel = more interest = bigger attendance = more and better support = more income for the club.
Staggering incompetence.
Shutting the main vocal support stand is basically an act of submission. A "come and roll us over" message to your opponents, a "don't bother attending please" message to your fans.
The club can absolutely get fucked. This, along with ticket giveaways to 'priority people' for in demand away games (remember Pigs and Stoke 2018/19), is something I really detest and I feel a real disconnection to the club as a result.
