At Spurs I was away in the top corner. Worst ever was West Ham with horrendous restricted views

Sunderland changed the away section after we played them in F.A cup as our support sounded like it was a home tie. Martin O'Neil wasn't happy so the moved the away support into the top corner.
Newcastle will do anything possible to annoy away supporters, with heavy-handed tactics by stewards and the police. I remember another F.A cup tie a few back where they split our supporters into about 4 different sections just to keep us quiet.

It's not definite yet but it's being considered, saw this article at the end of July: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football...-club-could-be-forced-have-a-pitch-side-away/

Anything to avoid that hike up to the gods at Newcastle ever again.

I'm sure there would be a loophole in the scheme, like they'd keep the fans in the gods, but have a small block in the lower tier.

At present it is only Sunderland, Newcastle who i can remember who don't house away fans pitch side.

Would it not include the away section in the Upper Bullens aswel?

No, because we'd still be offering seats in the lower tier, closer to the pitch.

If they ever came back up, QPR would also have to change their layout.
