Spion Kop

Wed Feb 16, 2011 5:40 pm

Spion Kop (or Kop for short) is a colloquial name or term for a number of terraces and stands at sports stadia, particularly in the United Kingdom; so named due to their steep nature, resembling a hill near Ladysmith, South Africa that was the scene of the Battle of Spion Kop in January 1900 during the Second Boer War.[1]

well personally they can call it what they want i dont care because i will not be sitting in there i will be staying in the ninian stand where if i stand or sit the people around me have no problem the only problem is the f*cking stupid stewards who i can see will end up having a good slaping soon if they dont start to behave themselves the thing about this is someone is trying to get you to go to the canton stand if someone told you to put your hand in the fire would you do it no of course not so stay where you are if you are happy with your seat and make a lot of noise.we are second in the table and we are not selling out do you think the club would be able to eject all the people who stand in 116 if they did they would lose a lot of suporter and then we would have even less at home games

me and my dad are moving but not too the canton further back in the ninian. for a few reasons. A. people are more likely to hear me starting off chants if im further back. B we get wet when it rains. C. dai hunt is getting closer to us

Well said. Where I sit now though, I won't get an ounce of solidarity. I want to go up higher and towards others that sing.

Failing that, I will get a seat up the back of the grandstand.

Or become a steward (the worst thugs of them all)

Do you really believe the club will allow the stewards to have a slap, the stewards will ask you twice to sit down, if you don't or even give them some grief there'll be no scene. You'll turn up to the next match, put your card in the slot and it will be blocked. You will be turned away and told to take it up with the ticket office.

When you go to the ticket office you will be told there as been a block put on your ticket and to contact the Stadium manager for an interview. Depending on how naughty you been and how good a mood he's in, you may get another chance in the Ninian with an ASBO, or be told you have to transfer to the Canton, or in extreme. cases that you are banned from the stadium.

In fact the stewards don't even have to talk to you, you can be picked up on CCTV, face given a name off the data base and job done.

I have been saying this day as been coming before we even left Ninian Park, you can put your head in the sand and say they wont get away with it and there'll be riots, but I can tell you the outcome now.
And if hopefully we get into the Premiership, for every one fan banned there will be 5 waiting to buy his seat. Welxcome to the big time and football 2011 onward.

The best we can hope for is that the restrictions remain relaxed in the canton, and at least there will be one area where people that wont to stand can stand and be left unhindered. :old:

they just want some known problem surporters away from the away fans so they can keep an eye on everyone with cctv,116 is by far the best place inthe stadium ,the canton is no louder and the view is awesome :ayatollah:

I think it is bullshit, they claimed certain seats were renewed already when I know theyre not.

I appreciate the idea is in its early stages and we MAY just be using that name for now, but we are not Liverpool, we are Cardiff....we are South Wales.

Cardiffian's Canton, Casa Canton, Canton C**ts end....i don't care! As long as its something that unites the city and the valleys together with a stirring name.

If everyone does move over to the Canton I really hope that the old way of doing the 'Ayatollah' is revived. During the early/mid 1990's if we had a decent sized crowd the Bob Bank used to look amazing when everyone did the standing up, sitting down as well as patting the head.

On the name how about the ‘Canton Mosque’ :lol: it is a natural for those 'doing the Ayatollah'

Totally agree.We must not forget that the Ayatollah is unuque to us and gives us our own identity and we never do it enough in my opinion.If we don't have the Ayaotollah then we are just another team that sings similar songs to the rest of them.
