All the better for the hard core support letting our new keeper know he's completely shit after the first clanger

 

[Evo1883]

People who used it as an excuse why they wouldn't go

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Good news - nice to have fans behind the goal again.

Get in!

Good news, shows we’re making the right steps into rebuilding. From an atmosphere point of view, I wish it was the South Stand that was being partially opened for home fans and there was a way of moving the away fans to under the scoreboard corner or splitting the stand up.
Still great news and be good to have our fans behind a goal again!

It will be now commonly known as ...the pay on the day stand

Why will it, I'm a season ticket holder and considering moving behind the goal depends on the lads im going with to thou... PUSB

Going to be chaos between those that want to sit and those that want to stand.

The sooner we get safe standing and they can just give us a proper block the better.

I think it depends on what you want, when we first moved to the ricoh behind the goal was the area of atmosphere ...then that changed to the corner over time .

Most people in blocks 14/15/16 /17 I'd imagine will stay near the away fans .

Middle blocks prefer the view anyway

Doubt too many will move

Think you might be surprised

 

[Evo1883]

Don't get me wrong I'd love a large vocal segment of fans behind the goal to get the atmosphere rattling around the stadium

North stand , gizza song , North stand north stand gizza song

This is the issue, it will split the atmosphere in two.

 

[pusbccfc]

Think you might be surprised

Majority of football stadiums now have their more vocal support near away fans rather than the traditional behind the goal.

 

[Skybluefaz]

Excellent. Can't wait to get back there. Proper like the old championship days!

League 2 was good for that

Ideally we'd have atmosphere in each stand that bounces off eachother

 

[Tommo1993]

I’m sort of put off by the sun always shining on that stand. Me can’t see!

Ideally, yeah but a few thousands rattling around the telegraph and a newly deserted corner may be the outcome.

Highly dependent on whether we can get over 15k fans.

Oh I think we will pass that with ease , only time it might not would be a night match against somebody like Hull.

Even then I think 15k is achievable

This is why block by block is silly at this level. We were always going to end up with all stands open.

Much better to have netted off the back rows all the way around than have chunks of fans.

Too late now.

 

[Tommo1993]

Would like them in the corner, like at King Power. Out the way, less influence. Sandwiched, intimidated.

I think this new opening still excludes 2 blocks

Depends where you want the hardcore to be honest, either bantering with the away fans or all packed behind the goal. I prefer the latter to be honest but it's a hard sell when it hasn't been open for years

 

[shmmeee]

It does, but why? Surely can’t be cost reasons at that point.

 

[TwistAndShoutCCFC1987]

Not sure whether to stay in block 15 or to move my ticket to the North stand, I mainly want to be near the atmosphere , what do you think will be the better decision?

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

This is the issue, it will split the atmosphere in two.

Or double it, as there'll be twice as many fans

17

For the big away following games, you'd imagine the atmosphere would be better in 17.

If you choose the wrong option, you can just twist, and shout louder

 

[Tommo1993]

Think I’ll stick with 16, so I can touch Evo.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

away followings - Derby, Forest, Albion, Blues, Stoke (fans with no teeth), Sheff Utd, Cardiff etc

Better check my life insurance

I'll perhaps get brave and dig out a pair of Doc Martens for when we play Bournemouth

The stadium is arse about face. Away fans have to go where they are as that's where the coaches are and there would be issues with them at the other end where the club shop and the casino entrance is but it should have been designed to get them in a corner or if that isn't possible then that end.
