The problem isn't The Coxy which is identical to The Shankly making The Shankly anything but the solution. The 'problem' is the location of The Derry seats and covered area being far too close to The Shankly; add to that the solid barrier now erected between it and The Shankly and it makes moving the home end to The Shankly, in an attempt to bring the support together, pretty pointless. We all know we want to enter the ground up the old (proper Derry) steps and not from the Shankly end steps so it makes sense to move the location of The Derry.

There's only one proper solution and that's to demolish The Derry and move the location of the fans seated there closer to both the pitch and The Coxy. That stand should contain the dressing rooms and the Main Stand could be improved to bring seating as far forward toward the pitch as possible (assuming it can't be demolished) and to include decent lounges and offices.

We all know that's never going to happen though so we have no choice but to we stick where we are in my opinion. Any move within the existing structure will improve nothing.
This isn't an episode of your home made perfect.....😁.....if it was that would be a solution that I cud go with but it ain't practical......try again working on my budget of zero.

I like a punt I'd bet meh last quid on the atmosphere improving greatly by moving ends

I don't think the Derry is separated from the Cox.... just slightly screened.....I wuda planted bamboo and hogweed...seems to be plenty behind the Derry.

I don't believe you think moving ends would improve nothing (not perfect, see opening line) but definitely improve things. You are just being a tad cantankerous 🙂.....anyway moving the Derry.....Whaur wud we hide the hoses.!!!
