The Green Brigade regularly laud the IRA with banners and songs; It would be out of the question for the club to have them behind the goal front and centre for the cameras.

But good choice of fan group for you to celebrate; you pick an interesting side over the HF who, to my knowledge, have never praised those who slaughtered women and children.

Sheikh Mansour has invested £1.5 BILLION in the club in the 10 years he has been at the helm.

Thats probably because all parties were properly consulted and involved by the club prior and during its construction!

Or, according to the programme that BT Sport (I think) did at the time, they simply followed the German model.

Their safe standing model says the area should not impact on other supporters which is why they are either in a corner or take up an entire tier in a stand.

As has been said many times already, if you make a central section standing then the knock on effect is that entire stand will have to be on their feet at times.

It's why most PL/Championship grounds now put away fans toward a corner.

Away fans have been put in corners for decades for various reasons.

Worse view.
Sometimes less added segregation needed.
Less loss of areas that can be sold for more fans.
Less crowd control needs/costs.
Near a section of seats for away fans in next stand.
Sometimes near the horse/ambulance entrance.
