Standing on the kop, meeting your mates, catching the bus to the match, hitchhiking to away games was an absolute blast in the seventies. Would I have let my son or daughter go without me in the same period? No chance. It was nuts, and frankly dangerous. Countless times I or others would be carried out overhead on the kop, passed down to the stewards, the life almost crushed from us.. Some reckon the smell of urine increased the testosterone of the crowd. Who remembers the blood and snot spilt when the hard arse Evertonians would decide to stand on the kop for derbies? No half and half scarves in those days! The kids aren’t going to improve the atmosphere unless there is a specific place found for them, at a reasonable rate and they will certainly not be as raucous as the crowds back in the day. They are way smarter, It was all we had in those days.
