i stand in block 42 for the atmosphere and i see the arguments that moving the away fans may mean most of the noisy fans will move to be next to them again,
i used to sit in the kingsland north and you could hear both sets of fans (the itchen north looked like they were enjoying themselves but you could hardly ever hear them), then one time i sat in the middle of the kingsland just south of the halfway line ( good view but the moaning was unbearable, never again), it was against leeds when we relegated them from the championship, leeds had ,as always, taken all of their allocation, you could see the northam was singing but you couldnt hear them, the north itchen might well not have been there, all you could hear was leeds. i think the away fans should be put in the north kingsland, fill the northam and make more noise than them. the way it has been set up the away fans have the ability to make more noise than the home fans and often do. this idea of surrounding them on both sides might seem good when you are in that part of the ground but trust me at the other end all you can hear is the away fans unless you are all singing the same song.
hope you can work out what im trying to say
