Your basing this on individual games. Wrexham fan I know says it was by far their best home atmosphere all season, said it's been really flat for some games. That's football. Boro on Tuesday will probably be up for it because of the occasion, but run of the mill games? Last two visits there...

I thought today was very good overall, but I get annoyed (more than I should) by how early people leave for half time and how long it takes them to come back. Does something happen in the concourse I don't know about? The amount of goals scored just before or after half time this season when...

I'd orgotten about that, I was referring to the opposite corner when EMC (I think) was hacked down. But yeah, that also was a bit of a spark. Missed the missile being thrown but saw there player move it off the pitch. No need.

Some great away days in that spell I agree, but I'd also say two of the best away atmospheres of recent years have been this season (Derby and Stoke).

We'll just disagree on that. I don't think we're anywhere near average. The current situation breeds expectations, it plays a part. At 2-1 down the backing was excellent.

Don't know, could have been a bit longer. A bit of shell shock that wore off once there was a spark, a couple of chances and that incident in the far corner got people back up again, it's just the ebb and flow.

There were plans a year or two ago to smarten it up, a bit of landscaping and some advertising screens but maybe shelved. Agree, a large sculpture would be great. Gateway to the city, the whole area needs a facelift, it's pretty grim, although I did hear there are plans for landscaping and...

Oh behave, there was a 10 minute lull. What do you want, a endless array of adapted pop songs without a pause? The lull didn't last long. Plenty of noise at 2-1. I don't know if you recall, but we've had plenty of times when the chips have been down over past couple of seasons. Last season...

Game should never have been cat a+ really. We'll be back to a full house next week, probably a gate of 31K. When you factor in additional ticket sales, possible ST resale and the benefit of having 2000 people extra in the ground spending, I'd imagine revenues will be higher next week than this...

Well yeah, but I suppose on the back of 3 home sell outs and ST resale for two of those, it is disappointing that we'll come up short for what is meant to be a higher profile game, but not eager to reignite the pricing debate.

Looking like it might be lowest crowd of the season Saturday. They've sold 1200 and our sales not moving. Pity.

Sort of, you have to give a minimum of 3000 if your capacity is 30K or over. Below that you must give 10%. Same rules apply in championship, but difference is it's 2000 and 20K.

Which will continue unfortunately. Albion sales are poor, Bristol City won't bring many for a Cat A in December, and there will be very few Swansea fans. Expect Charlton to bring a load though.

If you want an example of what expectations can do, this Leicester game is a prime example. Silence and now getting toxic. A world away from how we backed the team during a difficult spell this time last season. We really have very little to worry about.

Usually the limited allocations generate the best at atmosphere. Last season Oxford and Luton away, this year Oxford was decent enough. Not sure what the ballot achieves, it's the same people at those games that were there last night in the main. It was just an off day.

It is one thing to be confident - we should be - but it has veered into arrogance for some. There were many who were absolutely convinced we would win last night, not confident, certain. Throwing out stats and rolling their eyes at any suggestion it might be a game where we came unstuck. I'm...

Just take that one on the chin. Wrexham fan I know says that's the best home atmosphere for a good while there. They were just on it tonight it seems, there was a bit of backs to the wall after Tuesday and they rallied. Fair play. It reminded me a bit of that Peterborough Friday night game a few...

Bit dramatic. It has fallen off for sure, but not nearly as much as you're stating. Expectation and nervousness plays a part, I'm weirdly more nervous at games this season than I've been for a good while. At home, last couple of games have been flat, but hardly silent, still better than many in...

Last season's game was a bank holiday fixture late in the season with both teams in the play off mix. Just feel this year, in November, early kick off with them not pulling up any trees, at £45, it will be a real struggle. I guess we'll find out soon enough.

It's not a game that means much to either set of fans really, certainly not a rivalry. Albion's away followings have been below ours for several seasons (a reflection of the trajectories of the club's in recent years more than anything else tbf). They won't sell out for this. Cat A might have...
