News Flash: Away fans don't all come by train

A lot drive and park in the city or country hall.

Moving fans who have sat behind the goal for decades and expecting them to be happy sat in a corner at the side of the pitch is tone deaf

After 35 years this looks like being be my last year with a season ticket

      - Most away ends I've been to are behind a goal or in a corner (where big enough) (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Oct 13, 10:11:44
        
        VMT. Extremely rare to not be behind a goal. (n/m) (NCFC) - JD3, Oct 13, 10:20:04
        
        Yeah we are very much in the minority here. (n/m) (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, Oct 13, 10:56:37
        
        Fair enough (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Oct 13, 10:12:39

        Presume it's police requirement as part of the planning permission? (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 13, 11:09:55
    - I agree (NCFC) - BungysPie, Oct 13, 10:01:51
  - Isn’t it primarily because they don’t want away fans … (NCFC) - loz, Oct 13, 09:47:19
    - I don’t get that as an argument (NCFC) - Duck, Oct 13, 10:15:37
      - Away fan coaches are moving to County Hall. So it does make some sense in that respect. (n/m) (NCFC) - Curnster, Oct 13, 10:53:43
      - This is getting overlooked with all the furore over moving River End supporters. (n/m) (NCFC) - The Gaffer, Oct 13, 10:47:33
      - Yeah, they've not hidden the reason for moving South stand fans (NCFC) - Yellalee, Oct 13, 10:29:50

    - Maybe, but it's not going to be invisible is it? (NCFC) - jamesward, Oct 13, 09:49:39
      - Finding it and being in it are too different things. Every fan zone I've encountered (NCFC) - Pixelman, Oct 13, 10:04:48
      - Presumably this is a police requirement rather than a NCFC one? (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 13, 09:52:08
      - Need a home ticket to enter presumably ? (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Oct 13, 09:51:40
        
        More problems with ticket access then? (n/m) (NCFC) - Happy Crapper, Oct 13, 11:08:51
        
        Yes this is very much how it works. (n/m) (NCFC) - Pixelman, Oct 13, 10:05:41
