What a load of bollocks. None of my family went up because they weren’t going to give Sisu their money while destroying us. They’re back now.

I agree, we should. I just still don't have faith in the powers that be making it happen.

Goes against what opposition supporters say about the atmosphere at the stadium

In what way? Same at most grounds where away fans are given an entire end?
Most? Very few give the entire end. I can only think of 6. Preston. Blackburn, Bristol, Millwall, Rotherham & QPR

The small matter of recessions, poor football and other things. The decline in football crowds was not unusual in times of recession. Add to that the ‘SISU’ debacle and it explains why crowds were down in their tenure. Under the Richardson era the attendances were in decline a short period after the Ricoh was opened. Rubbish product on the pitch.
But….For saying we (As cash-strapped fans) are supposed to be struggling to make ends meet, this current enthusiasm for our club is surprising. Just keeping those fans may be hard due to already cited costs outside the game. If we do not go up this season.

I’m struggling to remember HR!
But to see the crowds outside the ground before the game adds to the event. Inside the concourse it is also great to be there. It will get even better when we are challenging for promotion again,

In terms of atmosphere, I'd agree

The night games at HR were special. But not so special when the stadium became an all seater. I suppose it increased revenues?
It was one of acts as chairman to gain an advantage or was at cited as a benefit subsequently.

We had 40k at Wembley twice. Majority of fans were willing to give their money to SISU when the times were good. The attendances went up in line with the leagues and when we had success.
fair play to your family to sticking to their guns in the checkatrade trophy final and league two play off final though.
majority were like that geezer who did a hunger strike until they returned from Northampton (during match day hours)

Ah TBF it had always been all seater when I was going I think.

Swansea and Sheff Wednesday are another two. Plymouth give you the majority of the end.
Hull previously did, as did Stoke before they added the corner.
Now we are nearly filling the place, pressure will be on to allow home fans into the South Stand like we did for the Middlesbrough game.

It's a fair question, we're living off last year's success and the rearrangements won't help.
The club have made a massive mistake giving Sheff Wed block 11 on Boxing Day. Hardly any seats left now apart from the top of block 26. Blocks 4 & 5 the only ones not open but they hardly have any seats anyway.

Worryingly I'm coming round to the idea.
Coventry's home atmosphere was superb last night, even with loads of gaps in the seats. Quality over quantity.
Obviously they raise it because it's Blues and they are desperate to have a rivalry but still, it was really good.
I'm starting to think we need to ditch the superiority complex about catchy songs, drums and manufactured atmosphere at home.
It's dreadful and I'd rather be a part of that Cov atmosphere than our current one a thousand times
Off the brum forum , they were discussing the drum

How long before we have a "Ultras Section" probably when the safe standing appears.

Even in a positive post they have to be a bit salty 'they are desperate to have a rivalry' - could any City fan literally give 2 feks about them?

Yeah might well do that. We’ve got season tickets but daughters are coming home for Christmas etc-won’t be impressed when I tell them they are all separate! 🥹

Some of us remember 14,000 when we were in the top division.

No chance.
We've had that corner in place for 15 years and it's never once come close to being an ultra section.
We've always had a drum, before most sides, and that's it. Not tifos etc.

Safe standing would help, but it's tinpot to be a club our size and have half a corner like we do at the moment.
We could easily have a hard-core section behind one whole goal, but the problem seems to be making that close to the away fans.

Why is it tinpot? Loads of clubs have corner/smaller sections.
It wouldn't be anywhere near as loud if it was at the other end of the stadium to the away fans.
The ideal scenario will be when they sort out the South Stand to allow home fans in.

Some of us remember less than 9,000 in the top division!
