The purpose of this is to increase performance on the pitch

The more revenue the club has, the more it can spend on players. Presumably more revenue also increases the amount owners can put in.

I have sympathy for those that sit in the lower river end and don’t want to move, but overall I think the plans are good (assuming they do increase revenue….)

From an atmosphere perspective, I think it’s too Barclay centric at the moment and this will also help redress the balance. I guess a chunk of E block who spend the entire game concentrating on the away fans might move to the new snake pit?
