Could you ever imagine the "Ricoh" as it was, looking like this? Our rise is truly spectacular

No. I think I'm quite positive but realistic. I never thought we'd consistently sell the place out and would have been happy with the 18000 seater stadium .

Needless to say, it's a good job I don't make those decisions!

Never, I could never personally understand people falling for the SISU agenda.

It wasn't their agenda. It was sitting in a 20% full stadium or not going to a home game for a whole season or just the general state of the club.

Fair play to those that dreamt bigger but I'm reluctant to believe that many realistically thought we would average 27k back in the darkest days.

It is fantastic to see, the stadium has never looked so good.

The Ricoh was a soulless bowl up until the very first day of our championship return season, when we played Forest, mcfadz got the injury time winner.

I believe it had a lot to do with not being able to go to games due to lockdown, but the Ricoh and now the CBS arena since that day has been absolutely brilliant... I remember thinking 'it'll be the same moaning, no atmosphere ground, soulless bowl as always' but we didn't stop singing and actually getting behind the team all game, ultimately ending with a win.

8th August 2021, a day I certainly won't forget in a hurry 👕

I think it started before that. The Mowbray season had some cracking atmospheres up there. The fact that attendances were so small which meant closing the North Stand, forcing everyone into the East Stand meant we had a small, but tightly packed group of fans. That is when Singers Corner really took off
