The act brought in after Hillsborough doesn't apply to football below Championship level any way. Seats were put into lower league grounds for one reason only, to charge more money, simple as that. Different for Sixfields of course as that was the council just wanting to be seen doing the right thing.
It's a brilliant idea to remove the seats in the North Stand, something I mentioned a fair few years back, but, as with most ideas you're going to get knocked back on it. Nothing to stop the Club and the fans from joining together to build a new terrace behind that goal. It's not going to happen though, too many people will oppose any change. The supporters of NTFC and the Club itself just don't have wants needed to push something through like that, so it's a non starter.
That's how I also understood it, wasn't there 2 years grace given to clubs entering the championship to replace any terracing? Borro have eaten that up I think? Anyway, nice problem to have, ba
stards.
Whatever the reasons we fitted them, it's now time to pull them out! With covid and at our level the option for some free standing terracing should be provided, as much as they tore down the fencing after Hillsborough.
I'm also curious as to how everyone feels about going back, will there be new protocols? All I know is it now feels a long way from the halcyon days of surges in the Hotel End, and that's never coming back. Different surges from now on?
