scotty Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 I'm not too clear about where the kids section is going to be situated. If the away fans are in the north end of the JH stand then how much of the stand will be allocated to them? Will it be the same number of seats that is in the north stand? I've sat almost at the half-way line ever since the JH was opened as I prefer sitting there to being at one end. Will I now have to move towards the city end because I'm going to be in the kids section? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potty trained Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 From what i can tell the move will only effect 30 people who have a season ticket. If you sit at the half way line you wouldnt be effected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Willjag Posted April 2, 2012 Members Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 1. This will take time. It may be that only 50 odd fans move across initially, and some cynics may label us a laughing stock. 2. There will of course be the usual cynicism about change. But for anyone looking to have a dig at this, are you happy for things to remain as they are? Never liked the fact that the away team could potentially get a boost by shooting in towards their own fans whilst we, the home team, didn't get that advantage. So this venture to me is excellent. Never really been one of the singing crowd and probably wont make my way over there but you guys have my admiration for at least trying something. And it's pleasing to see that so far there has been no criticism of the decision or cynicism shown yet. I think we all hope it will be a big success and spur the team on in the future. Big thumbs up from me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Willjag Posted April 2, 2012 Members Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 A question for JJ... has there been any consultation with the Police about arrangements if we were to get promoted and would potentially have a bigger away support visiting? Of if we were drawn against an SPL side in a Cup Tie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little_miss_jag Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Under 16s will not be allowed - the kids section wil remain in the JH beside the away fans. In the days of the old shed, I remember it being something to aspire to, something to look forward to when you were older. You had me at the no kids! The last few weeks have been horrendous! So new North Stand Shed - I cannot wait! Don't let me down! I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had better not be me again as i`ve already had to move to accomodate the hospitality section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian_mac Posted April 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Predictably enough, the usual 2 suspects playing the cynicism card already. Julie Ann, your posts have absolutely nothing to do with this thread. To everyone else, thanks for the positive feedback. Remember, this is about the fans, and enabling us to provide better backing for the team. Any ideas please post them here. The smoking area is a great point, and one which hadn't been discussed before, but certainly will now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ancipital Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Great to hear this, I'm another that's been banging on about using the North Stand for ages. I always thought the away fans would have to go to the City end if this was the case for entry / exit purposes. Suppose it would mean shifting too many ST holders if we did though.

potty trained Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 The smoking thing should be looked at. If they can do it successfully at ross county. Hamilton, hampden etc then why not in the north stand between the gates and the stand. It will be looked at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

potty trained Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 With regard to flare and fireworks, this will be down to the police. I know there was some at the celtic game in the celtic end, but im not sure if this was done against stadium guidelines. I wouldnt be fussed if this was a no no as the repercutions if a disguarded Unused flare can be costly and time consuming for the club.

lady-isobel-barnett Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 All sounds very positive to me and Dave & Ian should be applauded for putting over what's been the consensus view on the various Jags forums for years. Even If it causes logistical/policing difficulties at say a cup game against an ugly sister there's good problems and bad problems. That would be most surely be a good one. Maybe missed it but didn't see a response to Jaggernaut's query about away fans leaving the JHS. Will they be free to leave as normal?

Jackthejag Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 absolutely brilliant idea! the club should announce this on the website also and help the new shed out as much as possible. bring it on red yellow army! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jags on tour Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 cracking idea, the only thing is its a bit naff saying no under 16's, getting the wee guys in and teaching them all the songs will be a good idea, although i dont want it to be like a 'green brigade' stand waving flags with no relevance to scottish football at all. it must be named the johnnie lambie stand, get a big flag with a picture of lambie to pin up at the back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potty trained Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Lady isobel, logistics like that are still in discussion with the police to ensure everything is done correctly. Thankfully we have previous games where the JHS has been shared, to demonstrate how it can be done successfully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick bateman Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Should be worth a shot . I think the under 16 's rule should be changed though maybe under 12 if at all . I remember being in the old shed aged 14 / 15 and the atmosphere was the one thing that kept me coming back . The youngsters should get a taste of this and hopefully get a sense of belonging , singing and shouting with their Mates . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The few times I've been up the city end too there is a cluster of weans in that 12-16 age bracket. Edited April 2, 2012 by MWM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the older kids not getting in the North Stand it may be to do with effective monitoring of the free admission rather than policy.

potty trained Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 If you look at the shed end just now, there are very few under 16s there, maybe a gang of 4 who sit in the back corner. You could also look at if there was to be a smoking section outside the stand, there is more chance of this being allowed if it is an over 16s stand. If there are kids if 15 or 16 in the JHS. They will be singing too. Playing off of the shed, creating sn atmosphere that encloses the away fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that many youngsters enjoy being in with the singing adults. Maybe a rule something like no unaccompanied children below 12 years of age in the cauldron North Stand?
