A lot of that is because of that TikTok lad being abused which of course isn't right.

These are issues the club needs to deal with. I'm not sure how closing block after block will work.

Sat in Block 21 at the back .. more atmosphere in a mortuary. People with blankets and flasks what’s that all about ?

It’s the old people zone and it’s fucking freezing.

Conditions yes but I wouldn’t say Swansea were boring at all. A good side that always looked dangerous

I hate watching Swansea. First 60 mins they were dull as dishwater. Once we decided to cede the first three quarters of the pitch to them they looked dangerous but so would your average U8s team.

Didn’t get yours in again then.

Yawn off Dave for Gods sake, problems with some youngsters are no worse here than all over the country. Do you want all fans to sit in silence without any sort of atmosphere. It’s the cracking atmosphere that has brought many young fans back to the club and bolstered crowd numbers.

I say this completely impartially.... as due to my ongoing commitments to Cov in another sport, saturday was my first home game of the season...

I stood at the back of the Telegraph Stand, having purchased my ticket only an hour before kickoff, there was nothing available anywhere near block 14/15/16.

Atmosphere was bang average in the ground for a championship club, noise from 14/15/16 carried over but it certainly wasn't intimidating nor massively loud. Obviously the weather was an issue, it was bloody freezing, but having heard the repots of atmosphere this season, i was expecting a bit more really.

From my vantage point it was clear that there were odd seats available in 14/15, and near the back there was a huge block of around 30-50 seats which appeared unused. At half time i thought i'd try and get round and stand up there.... as mentioned earlier, the stewards/police were checking everybody's ticket and i decided it was pointless even trying to get up there, so made my way back to block 28.

I'm not a trouble maker, just wanted a bit more atmosphere, and i would have certainly bought a ticket in 14/15 if they were available. Can't help feeling the club/police/whoever are making a pig's ear of dealing with what is surely an issue at every reasonably sized club.

Not the clubs fault. There’s clearly someone be it at stadium or police level that’s got a hard on for over the top security and safety measures and not just in the naughty corner. Not sure what the club or the fans can do about that really.

In a word nothing, police/ stewards have to justify their existence nice little overtime earner for the old bill and watch the match for free always been the same.

It was a bit quieter , we were at the back of block 18 and although club said sold out there were many empty seats even in there. I watch Elche in La Liga and they have a system whereby ST holders have to declare online if they are attending and require their seat either for themselves or friends …..if not required that game the club can resell that seat from 24 hours before the match .

Swap where the away fans are with the ‘naughty corner’.
