The kop

[Bruce Wayne]

Why doesn't everyone stand up? It makes a difference to the atmosphere, the team, stops you feeling sleepy and stops DVT.

Do it, it's worth at least an additional 6 points this season and could also save your life.

 

[Ricky]

Mainly because the braindeads who designed it assumed no one would ever stand up.

Thanks to the low rake, forget being able to see anything if the person in front is 3 inches taller. Or is wearing a fucking bobble hat.

 

[Ricky]

Maybe they'll build it properly for us after we're all dead.

It doesn't stop everyone standing up pal. It's a case of revolution, not evolusion.

It was quiet and disappointing. We didn't do our job and neither did the team. Ref tried his best to encourage us by being a twat, but didn't seem we could get up for it. At the end, glad of a point. We were quiet and they did a good job on us. We weren't intimidating in the slightest

It doesn't and I wish they would. The effect it would have would make any sacrifices worth it. But it is a big reason.

We need a mexican wave section.

Stay the fuck away from my conga section.

The Lane is rarely intimidating if you ask me. We're lovely.

Have you tried it? I was nearly involved in several punch ups on game one of the season for daring to try.

Im strictly an arms man. My legs lack coordination. Shame as we could have consolidated and become legendary.

So sorry you got pinched several times pal. I say fuck em all, stand up for the kings, let the peasants sit and get DVT.

I’ve said it before but always think away days at Boxing Day are better.

A home Boxing Day fixture is always built up as a maquis fixture but I always think more times than not it is a bit subdued due to every one being half hung over from the day before.

The exception was last year against Derby and that only came to life when the ref tried to screw us over.

I think it’s the other way round. It’s more or less the same rake as the old terracing. Nobody when that was originally built would have thought some idiots would put seats on it.......but they did.

 

[BigBed]

I'm still at a loss as to why anyone would actually choose to sit or stand on the kop!??

Well, the only other option is to lie down.

 

[cahill]

Ive not sat down for one second of any match this season on the kop and i'm 66 ( almost) and I've got bad legs and chest pains with too much exertion ( apart from that I'm in rude health).

Can't ever imagine sitting down at football

 

[BobblesBlade]

Shit when did the rules change. I thought it was sitting only in stadiums.
Why don’t you just stay at home and watch it on the tv stood up?

Sorry but I just keeping of Tony Hayers at the BBC.

I would have agreed a few years ago, before the Port Vale snow blizzard.

Well you have to be obey rules obviously.

" maquis" ? French resistance ? WTF !

 

[INTAKE BLADE]

I was lucky enough to spend my youth standing on the kop on match days, amazing but sometimes scarey, after a goal you could be 50yds further down the kop and looking for your shoes on the way back up,

[JackSUFC]

I’m towards the back of the Kop as I prefer standing. Does make you wonder why only the the back 10-15 rows do, especially in big games. Look at the likes of Villa, Wolves, Everton, Man Utd, Spurs etc who have all standing ends behind the goal. Even loads did in the Championship last year.

At least everyone stands up at away games.

Lot of fuckers with weak bladders yesterday my row was up and down like a pro's knickers.

Weird that just about every visiting fan and commentaters talk about the "intimidating atmosphere" at The Lane. But a so called "Blade" thinks different. Are you sure you're not mistaking it for Meadow Lane or maybe even a MASSIVE kop at Sheffield 6?

TC Stand =Waitrose, John St = Sainsbury’s, BLUT = Aldi, Kop = Jack Fulton’s.

 

[Greenwich Blade]

What, like at Herringthorpe Leisure Centre?

You must have been on the row in front of me. At one point " what the fuck is wrong with people" came shouting from my mouth. Also 10 mins before H/T they were all trying to get down the steps to go for a piss/ drink and we could see sod all.
