In Germany we still have it and it doesn‘t make Andy trouble. There are Even stadiums like the ohne from Union Berlin were 18.000 out of 22.000 places are standing

[@yippyialeftside8351]

To right incredible, shameful seated stadiums they did it to exploit fans take the fun away , put richer family types in fuck the working class and its traditional support, I've been loads of Terraces perfectly safe, The way they exploited Hillsborough was shameful excuse to turn the game into what Murdoch, Thatcher , all the vile corporate corrupt authorities wanted , that's what's got now for years we did nothing to stop modern football in its vile tracks

[@SesameR7sh]

@Daniel Evensen I think it's incredibly interesting, it's like a religious cult, swaying and chanting...the way a song breaks out as if by telepathy. Now this is gone, what replaced it?

[@awentimes]

@@yippyialeftside8351 I have a suspicion that Hillsborough wasn't an accident. It was done purposely so that, as you've said, it would take away the game from the working class locals, break their traditions, break their spirit, and put the game in the hands of the really wealthy. I stopped going to the games about ten years ago, the Kop (except for a tiny section) is now just full of tourists from all over the country and world, most don't even know the songs (especially the old songs) and are just their for the "experience" to say they've been in the Kop on matchday. The Kop, the old Kop, was made into all seating after the 1994 season. This was done for safety, apparently. But, that was five years after Hillsborough...In those five years, how many people died on the Kop? Before Hillsborough how many died on the Kop? People have been conned big time by these corporate interests. The game nowadays isn't worth watching and the Kop (except for major European nights) is a sham. The way they sing You'll Never Walk Alone is a disgrace - more like a rap these days, it's like people can't wait to get the song out and it's always out of tune, rough as fuck. If you watch back YNWA in the 60's and 70's the crowd sing it like they mean it. The clip of the Kop singing the Beatles brings a tear to my eye every time I watch it. Something so cohesive, loving, safe and light hearted about it - it's a reflection of the times.

[@hadleystirrup]

Wonderful stuff. I'm a Londoner and QPR fan, but have to admire this. I only wish fans of all clubs could understand that it is possible to support your club with passion without hating. We're all fans and the hatred is just stupid and demeans us all. Man U fans and Liverpool fans could love their cities and clubs but respect their rivals...why not? Bet Lennon would've said that!

Unforgettable YNWA

[@FingersKungfu]

Atmosphere in English football died with the drinking culture. Now EPL football is an expensive entertainment that draws sober fans to the show. You can blame tourists all you like, but local fans are as sober as the tourists. Real fans are in the pubs, enjoying themselves. Today we discourage drinking from the game to accommodate family and discourage hooligan. But just as political correctness hurts literature, anti-fan culture hurts football. Now everyone is as sober as fuck. No more joyous singing and jolly merry making on the stand. Expanding the stadium won't help. German football has the best atmosphere in Europe. Not because they have the biggest stadium, forget the Yellow Wall and all that. They were proper fans because they know have to have a good time.

[@Isleofskye]

They also have safe STANDING ! Psychologically it's much more difficult to sing en masse while seating. Then some stand,sone hesitate,some stay seated...mess !

[@Isleofskye]

Couldn't agree more mate. Could NOT have put it better myself ! :)

That was when the spion kop was the spion kop. during the 70's if you wanted a pee you would roll the liverpool echo up & pee inside it, there was no way you could get to the toilet in time, it was always too packed, it was also the best workout known to man, you used all your strength just to to stay on your feet, you'd leave there knackered, LOL peace & love to glasgow celtic, we'll never forget that charity game at parkhead after hillsborough, YNWA

[@spionkop4901]

scouserla1 during the 70s when I was an anfield regular Me and my mates would always get seats at the front of the kop behind the goal, it was very hard to turn around when you’ve got over 20,000 people stumbling up and down the stand, but when I managed to turn around or look behind me there was the amazing sight of the entire kop swaying, it was almost like the ocean. The advantage obviously of being towards the front is that you have less people in front of you so it was easier to have a piss. It was these moments that you just never forget especially the roar and atmosphere. It saddens me that the kop May never be like this again
