Quote from: Des Little on February 02, 2013, 11:10:34 PMWe need to make the place as nasty and hostile as we can. It's not nearly as horrible for away teams as it should be.Every time this comes up I say the same thing - the players tunnel is at the wrong end of the ground, it should be by the Holte; so the away team does not see or hear a friendly voice until they have run the length of the pitch. Unfortunately it probably cannot be changed.

If you think about it, the first thing you would see as a player coming out of the tunnel would be the away fans. I really like the idea of the players coming out by the Holte end, I'm not sure if it could be done though.

Maybe to the other end of the Witton - would make banter between them and the Holte 'interesting'!
Finally the whole Stan thing. Yep we support him, yep we are 'great' for doing it but at the end the day he is well, very well looked after as is his family and I hope he continues to gets better. He is a multi million pound footballer with the best Healthcare so is in good hands. On the pitch we have missed him the last year. But please stop this Dianaesque tribute to him every game - he knows we are compassionate but I think at the moment it reinforces to the current crop an unfulfilled gap in the squad. It doesn't help.
