De22Ram Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Every time i watch the highlights i always think its a shame the south stand isnt widened to the whole of the stand and up until the south east corner, then have the away fans along the side of the east stand! Theres high demand for tickets in it as it always sells out, its great for the atmosphere! With all the flags the last few games it would look even better having the entire stand as home supporters! I get that season ticket holders in the east stand and there higher ticket prices over there but still, reckon it would increase the atmosphere!

YouRams Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Was literally thinking the same watching the game yesterday would be good for someone on the fans committees to put this forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up the rams 🐏⚽️🐏⚽️ So you want to move season ticket holders that have been there since Pride Park opened. If it’s so popular and in high demand they could increase the price inline with the East stand.

Up the rams 🐏⚽️🐏⚽️ Leave the East Stand alone, thank you. Why would moving the away fans make for a better atmosphere? The Rams fans in the East Stand on the other side of the away fans do our bit in creating the atmosphere. And after sitting in the same seat since the Queen opened PPS. I don't want to be forced to move to the South Stand or god forbid the West Stand. It's bad enough having to do it for certain cup games.

What if they moved your actual seat and swopped it with one in the south stand? 🤪 Alan Ramage 4 EVA, Carnero and jimtastic56 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its popular and in high demand because its cheaper and people can stand if they like, if anything they should be lowering the east stand prices inline with the south stand! 🤷🏻♂️ RadioactiveWaste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore why would you (or why should you) reduce the prices? I agree with previous posters that having the away fans sandwiched between the South Stand and those towards the southern end of the East Stand is actually better for the atmosphere as it probably increases the banter between rival supporters and, to an extent, allow the east stand singers and south standers to feed off each other. As for “looking better” isn’t that just for the cameras? Do we care that much what it looks like on TV? It’s an interesting idea but I’d leave well alone not least because of the logistical challenges it might create. Kathcairns 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Has everyone got used to the safe standing now? I remember some grumpiness when it started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
De22Ram Posted April 14 Author Share Posted April 14 The west stand upper next to the south stand have been doing there bit too! I guess it would have been best to have done all this when pride park was opened! Having the south stand as a full stand with vocal standing (obviously not allowed at the time) and a vocal support next to the away fans further along the east stand!

Dont know why that changed really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Sagan Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 It took a lot of effort to get the club to move the away fans into the corner so the Derby fans could have the better seats. It would be daft to change it away from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t like the rails which gave been put in/imposed - space is much more cramped, and they are actually at waist height so should be moving forwards into them you simply spin forwards and drop down head-first into the next row down! It makes going down for a pint or a pee much more hassle, and we have to fight our way past those season-ticket checkers lying in wait at every opportunity! But apart from that ……….

Mucker1884 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 If they shunted the away fans further into the East Stand, they wouldn't be able to see me giving it large from my safely distanced seat in the NE Corner, and those around me wouldn't realise just how tough and intimidating I am. It's a no from me, and if anyone's got anything to say about that, come outside, and say it to my face. Capeesh? MaltRam and De22Ram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simmo’s left foot Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Hasn't there been issues with the area of the east stand next to the away fans? People standing and the club no longer selling tickets there? It looked full yesterday though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
