I imagine that matters less when the OF fans are ripping out seats before they leave. I don't think it's the only reason. Poor state its in , its not really that old in football terms . It takes away the proximity of away fans to us and the game, keeping then up there which lessens the atmosphere. It also looks poor on tv. But I'm sure there is an ulterior motive for it we don't know about . Probably financial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still makes club look stupid to our away guests. Who would know nothing of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennyc Posted 5 minutes ago Report Share Posted 5 minutes ago Occurs to me that only using the upper tier when numbers dictate is all about reducing the likelihood of fans invading the playing area and confronting home fans, players and staff. How much abuse would our keeper receive when retrieving the ball? Also restricts the possibility of objects/pyros being thrown onto the pitch areas and players officials being injured. Makes practical sense to me given that Clubs are expected to take all possible precautions to avert crowd trouble. And quite honestly I don't care a toss if visiting fans find it difficult to create an atmosphere. Think back to that Celtic game where all sorts of mayhem erupted with our players being confronted on the pitch. Did our 'top tier' rule not come into play shortly after that game? I would happily bar the OF from the bottom tier as well but money talks I guess. And anyway, does anybody really believe Motherwell fans visiting any away ground are given a prime location where it can be avoided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
