Little known fact. Whoever wins the toss has the choice of which way to kick or the kick off. If you choose the kick off you kick the way you already are. The losing side doesn't get to choose anything.

Because they are also kicking towards their fans in the second half?

Its not all about us as HodgysBrokenThumb says.

However, it does seem daft, but if they make us attack the kop first half its also acknowledging that they're worried about us attacking the kop second half.

Think it's an unwritten rule as if teams don't turn us around at Home, we won't do it to them at their place....

Cos they can't be arsed to turn round after the toss.

Surely its alot better to have ten red and white stripped shirts , steaming towards you in the second-half , than ten white shirts going away from you , from a kop fans point of view and us kopites tend to be more vocal than the rest ..

You've found the right thing to do it again and you can use it to help the rest of the world at shooting footballs into a different area of your home with a mediocre scoring system to be a better option than what you can look for in your car.

Good job I'm in a good mood after Billy's late winner, because otherwise the pedant in me would have pointed out that there is no such thing as two teams having an equal advantage - there would no advantage.

Question for those who watch Utd away regularly: do you prefer Utd to kick towards the goal you are behind (at grounds where you are behind the goal), even if it means the home team having what is generally thought of as an advantage? Is this why some clubs don't have away fans behind either goal?

Most clubs at Championship level and above have fans on all four sides. Most premier clubs stadiums are the same at both ends, so it's not really an issue for them and they probably don't have any bizarre thoughts about it.
Liverpool might prefer kicking towards the kop in the second half but I don't think many others would care which way they're kicking

Beacuse according to some on here the kop is empty after 80 minutes.
