Stick them in the SW corner - that’ll work just fine - take away their acoustic advantage- just keep them well away from the mid/lower West near the half way line I don’t want my match experience being drowned out by singing away fans right next to me and there’s no way I will be buying a ticket in the South Stand (ugh!)

I'm in the minority on this one. Those South Stand seats are pretty unappealing. I can't say I'd be happy if I was shunted over there. It might improve the atmosphere in some games and the short term (Depending on where they are moved to) but it will still be the case that the the atmosphere will be lukewarm except for the most important of games.

Never upper, you can imagine the stuff raining down on the family section from that lot up the road.
They'd have their own fans below them - it would be easy to find a way to stop that happening.
I have never seen it as a bit issue. Maybe there's more space for corporate lounges behind the South stand?

Can we not just have a fan park for them outside
It has. The 25/6 ST renewals will take place in early 2026.

No its season after next. I think it's a good thing. If I had an Ideal Id put them East upper/lower north end.

I didn't see the planned timescale mentioned so I assumed next season, but you're probably right, expect it'll be 25/26. There'd be too much agg now otherwise.
Given the amount of money I've just spent on a loft conversion to add a single bedroom to my fairly modest house, £7 million seems like a bargain to me. The UK is insanely expensive at the moment.

It's a tough one. They can't go high up so needs at least some in lower tier. Wherever on east or south they will be in main tv picture. Corner looks less so maybe east/south corner but that's under the amex box. When we have to give bigger capacity then south end of east has been used and can be blocked off (but means the pizza kiosk will now become an away kiosk)

It costs Albion fans a lot more to sit in East Upper because of the view. Why let our opponents fans get that?

I'd love the away fans in the northern end of the East Lower in the hope it would spark some atmosphere between them and our fans in the North. Then open up the entire South end to families to get more kids in.

I just got a quote for painting and decorating a new office (about 3,000 sq feet), and hanging a few fixtures. £30k plus VAT! It included over £3k just to cover the floors before starting!

We're not going to put them in the East Upper when the club sell those seats for double the £30 an away fan pays, would be insane. It will be South East or South West i imagine
