Ahem, the Chapel Kop in partnership with Bathgate Homes doncha know
Got mine in block 19
Was quite surprised to see how many were available for the Portsmouth game, got a ticket a few days ago without membership |  |

I find it hilarious people thinking the "chapel kop" is a thing when it was basically a joke between me and my mates who wanted somewhere that wasn't the Northam to stand and have a laugh.
It probably wasn't more than 10 people and i'd be surprised if it's even doubled now.
Everyone seems to have taken it way too seriously, which is the complete opposite of the point in the first place (in calling it the chapel kop we were literally taking the p*ss out of both it, and ourselves) |  | | |

The Chapel Frontline was the term banded about between me and my pals in the Itchen North for many years, caused them much amusement
Rather ironic as one of them has moved over to block 20 now | |

I remember that the phrase Chapel Kop was first coined on this very message board sometime after the stadium opened as an ironic name for what was seen as the most sedate part of the ground,
I can't remember the exact year etc but I used the name in a story on this website in 2015 and it had been in use for at least 11 years

Was Boruc the last decent keeper we've had? Discuss. |  |

That Boruc incident happened right in front of me
We were playing Spurs and they’d just gone 2 up, a couple of blowhards started gobbing off to him and after chucking his water bottle at them he offered both of them out, all whilst the game was going on | |

I seem to remember a similar incident a decade or so earlier when our then left back slipped and fell on a bottle thrown by our then keeper . there wasnt any animosity between them though it was all water under the bridge | |

Is that the Polish keeper who later went on to play for Bournemouth after letting in a goal direct from the Stoke keeper’s kick, or am I getting confused ?
Wasn’t it also alleged that he had a problem with the falling over fluid ? |  |

Yep. The term Chapel Kop has been used for a long time. I remember back in the Itchen North days we originally nicked the Utd Bad Moon Rising chant to sing about and take the piss out of the Chapel Kop 
A few season's back there was some fan who tried to get something going in the Chapel, contacted the club about it and everything - the din.
Once the Northam Wall was created they moved over to Block 43 or something.
As @franniesTache says him, myself and a few other mates decided after one match in the new Northam that it was not for us so we moved to the smallest Block we could find (Block 21 is only five seats deep) so we could have a laugh, take the piss out of the away fans and our fans.
It's not serious and there is no fan initiative to make the Chapel like the Itchen North or a vocal section of the ground.
If you want to sing songs/chant the Northam is the best place to be not the Chapel.
To be honest, that this discussion is happening between middle aged blokes online shows how terrace culture is really dead  |  |

I wasn't talking about the phrase as much as the people moving over, like NickSO19 said it's really not a replacement for anything or anything new, i mean i'm not even that arsed about standing these days, it's just a place for us to have a laugh and not take it all too seriously.
I just find it slightly amusing people are trying to position 10 blokes at the back of a stand as something other than what it is to be honest | | | |

I liked Artur, though he was better than Frazer Forster who was bought to replace him and a massive upgrade on Davis and Gazzaniga | |

Ah, I just went in there from the start of last season for a bit of a laugh. I’ve never had a ST in the Northam and didn’t want to start; chose instead, along with my mate and his dad, the part of the ground furthest away from their rubbish. There must’ve been about 8 standing at the start (barely any signing other than certain parts of the game and we were told to sit down at some points).
Wanted to sing old songs to continue my knack of being called a grandad at the age of 22. Don’t really care how many come in as long as they aren’t cringe and obsessed with dodgy Northam banter. |  | | |

I was in hindsight tainted from the moment comparisons were made with Westwood, which is something I fear I may never live down.
I will repent and do 100 versions of Bisto at Confession this weekend. | |
