Quote: GRLA "Although your point is correct, the art of "nudge" is employed at headingly, to good effect; the majority of away fans don't congregate on the west stand & you cant tell me that this isn't encouraged ( & you surely agree that the west stand is significantly less well developed than rest of ground). Not an issue for us, as I don't think we bring enough fans to make an impact in a bigger area & at least it allows us to concentrate our support, which hopefully helps our team.
I actually think we are currently following Headingley's lead, after a fashion, in nudging folk away from our North stand, as opposed to evicting them. (See threads on North stand for discussions on rights & wrongs of this)'"
Before crowds at Heaingley improved significantly,Hulls following used to invade the southand with the obvious intention of competing with the Southstander's and the atmosphere used to be quite threatening,but since the turn of the century there is thankfully not much room for fans who come with a large following.I honestly think it will be a great many years if EVER before the western terrace gets redeveloped.Even with planning permission they ned to find finance,which they are trying to acquire now for the rebuilding of the Southstand.You do have a point though
