Fifth line center
Here’s how it works in these parts.
HOME TEAM USUALLY OCCUPIES SIDES AND THE PLACE BEHIND AWAY TEAM’S GOAL (IN ODD PERIODS).
SPACE BEHIND THE NET IS CALLED “POT” (AS IN MELTING POT, NO WEED JOKES INTENDED)
Pot has both stands and seats. Stands are occupied by folks with drums and shiet and (usually) hardcore fans who are the chanting center. So yeah, stuff being organised? STANDARD PROTOCOL.
I thoroughly enjoyed the games I attended in Brno, and from this description I was definitely in The Pot. I particularly enjoyed watching fans throw beers in various states of fullness down into the empty area behind the goal.
