Stockport take Town End!

[kingofnaves]

Looks like Town enders will have to be York Enders on Saturday!!

I personally wouldn't have the away fans where they currently are, the noise that even a few away fans generate at the top of the stand is crazy.

[The Infamous Stevie]

So no atmosphere on Saturday then! Townend gonna be over taken by an apparent force of 600+ Stockport fans! Bet no more than 150 turn up!!

[youngchubby69]

How many in the past have turned up.

How many in the past have turned up.

228 last season
120 the year before.
Both those seasons they were in the YS end.

Agree,  If all our town enders went in the YS stand it would produce a better atmosphere than amalgamating in the Spayne Rd / Town End corner which gets drowned by the town end noise .     It would give the Pilgrims a home end to kick into .

York Street Stand used to be the home end years ago and the sound is far better than the town end.  Going to Spayne Road stand is a waste as far as creating an atmosphere. 
You could say Stockport are already leading 1-0.

54, 131, 121 and 228.

Hardly in need of a huge stand to put them in

By contrast I think we've taken 201, 105, 179 and 82 there

Can we put the roof and rear wall of the YS end on the new town end at the new ground if it ever gets built?
Or get a slightly bigger version of Kidderminsters tin sheds?

This is what Stockport are still telling supporters on their website.
County supporters will be housed in the Lincolnshire Co-operative Stand, accessible via turnstiles 3, 3a and 4.

The last twice Halifax have visited they've had the town end with 175 & 200 fans.
Stockport last season (243) & Darlington (234) were both kept in YS ??
Was Murray that persuasive that he could keep our fans in town end regardless?
Can't see County bringing more than last season either.

If your figures are correct then the sad reality is they outweigh the average total of home fans on that end most games. We do seem to struggle getting more than 110+ on the town end. I remember the good times under Scotty and Hurst, and the town end looked a lot more healthier in numbers and had a more vocal atmosphere. Its worth comparing photos from that era and now of the fans stood there.
We need to get back to those days, but then with so much gloom over the team and the club recently I guess that is why numbers are dwindling.

Apparently the rule is that if the away team tell us they expect to bring more than 250 fans, they get the Town End. If Stockport brought 243 last season then I guess it's not beyond the realms of possibility they'll exceed 250 this time, despite their home attendances being slightly down on last season (albeit before the festive fixtures are taken into account).

The away section hold 202, but the whole York Street end must be 3 times that! Stick them in there, or even just give them the 'temporary' seats.

YS End holds about 1400
