"Fans who have bought elsewhere already will be able to move their seats to the newly opened North Stand by contacting the Ticket Office – the deadline to move seats will be 31st May."
Might have to hope enough people feel the same to force an extension

At this moment what I think I’ll do is stay in block 15 for a season, and if the atmosphere completely moves to the North stand I will move there the following season.

got tickets in 18 but now have a JSB 4 yr old grandson, so a move to the family zone 33/34 is on the cards. It will be just like a real stadium again hopefully without the W+sps stewards

Agree with this. The home end should be the scoreboard end, away fans located in either corner at the opposite end with home fans in close proximity to stimulate atmosphere. Part of the reason the Ricoh can lack atmosphere is the seeming insistence by the authorities that home/away fans are separated by at least two blocks.

It should have been built east-west instead of north-south too. Could have easily had the away fans in the end by the a road then for their coaches to easily get away while the majority of home fans head under the railway.

Depends if he's including away fans. On average 2000 away fans would only be 15k which would be about right to fill the Tesco stand and corporate end with a block overspill into the telegraph like Gillingham at home a few years back.

Obviously the safety team and police will take the safe option but if I remember right at Leicester you walk straight into the home fans after the game. It's doable but with small crowds they'll always take the simple option.
If we ever got to the Prem and sold most games out, we'd have to push away fans as far towards the corporate end as possible, just the 3k like for the Gillingham and Crewe games. We'd then have half the south stand.

So what are you saying ? You don’t think it’s a good idea we act like a normal football club and allow fans behind the goal.People who used it as an excuse why they wouldn't go
why is some people’s first reaction to any news regarding the club to jump to fan shaming.

Or we could try to progress support numbers and increase atmosphere

Definitely 17. I had season tickets in both the scoreboard corner and the former telegraph stand - North Stand now... the atmosphere in the North Stand was crap even for the local derbies. People would try and get songs going but it would hardly ever get going or travel.
When I moved to 17, you could see that the North Stand were singing on rare occasions but the noise just didn’t travel.

No I think its a good idea , I remember seeing some fans say they wouldn't go because they couldn't sit behind the goal , to me that was absolutely absurd ...so it's a light hearted joke about the next excuse now its opening up behind the goal

Would have been even better if they'd stuck the whole stadium where Tesco is and Tesco where the Ricoh is!

And if your favourite player remains, good help for the ballboys when he shoots off target againAll the better for the hard core support letting our new keeper know he's completely shit after the first clanger

He will be including away fans - but the average away following should be higher than 2k - think it will be nearer 4k (assuming 6k max) due to Blues, Baggies etc - there will be a number of away 'sell outs'

Exactly, so he's estimating between 13-15k home fans each week. Realistically not enough to throw open the North Stand.
We have had home crowds of that size and it's been great having the one stand packed together.
13k home fans at home to Luton and Reading won't look great rattled around 3 stands.

It will turn out to be shit. Think we all know it. Everyone banging on about moving seats when in reality you'll get a few hundred rattling around in there. Still think block by block selling creates the better atmosphere.
The club cocked up when we moved to the Ricoh by not stating that the people from the west terrace/ wanted to create an atmosphere should be behind the goal. Everyone ended up dispersed all over the place

And fair play to you. Im just saying that we all know deep down, all this talk of a' wall of sky blue' and 'cracking atmosphere' wont happen.
Youll get the first game back heaving granted

Fair enough, yes it won't be the yellow wall transferred to the Ricoh.

Yeah, unfortunately the ground is far too big for us so it will be a poor atmosphere and experience whatever the seating arrangement.
Towards the latter Championship years I remember 12,000 crowds being announced - actual attendance probably 10,000

People might laugh at me but i thought we had some good atmospheres in a couple of L2 games.
Stevenage on a Friday night comes to mind. Think we won 3-1, but twist and shout went on for ages, even though we had really just the Tesco stand everyone was up and singing. Think there was only 6500 there too.
Feel keeping us all together really does improve the atmosphere, and can actually see this being a bad thing for noise generated at the Ricoh (covid permitting obviously)
