All round the stadium or just in the North?
i respect your views ccfc manager, but personally i wouldnt have fancied a season where i was moved to, they stopped selling season tickets at the cut off point where me and my family are, so in front of us we had the fans that wasnt interested in watching the game, just spent the whole time stood up trying to wind the away fans up smoking and spent the majority of the game in the bar pretty much like i would have done when i was a teenager! but these guys was in their fifties lol would be better putting them in singers corner, if you stop selling tickets high up in the telegraph stand that will upset the younger ones that always bought tickets to stand on the very top row they was always noisy and created a lot of noise im sure the stewards will vouch for that as they spent most of the game trying to steward them
Good news, never thought it was a good idea to have us attacking an empty stand - nothing better than going mental in the North Stand when we score a last minute winner at that end. Plus I think it's a bit of a myth that we can't create an atmosphere if fans are scattered around the ground. We respond to what's happening on the pitch and that's what creates the atmosphere. There's been many games in the past (Chelsea in the cup for example) where we've sold out and there's been no atmosphere at all as there is nothing to get excited about on the pitch. On the other hand we've had games with 8k attendances where everyone sings along if we're winning. Get the team right, and everything else will fall into place.
The back 11 rows are not being sold.
Stupid idea. Means the lack of atmosphere problem when there's 10K in the stadium (like there will be for most games) will continue. Unless there is an alternative being put in place, ie closing off the top rows.
fuming my seats I vacated last week which I have had since it opened have been taken, not happy, anybody got a number for TO to Tim?
Personally I'm happy with this - I don't like the thought of not having fans behind both goals. It just seemed an odd solution to me, and one that was more about saving money than generating atmosphere
Having said that, I really enjoyed my first time in the South Stand. Whether it would be as good with half the people in it is debateable I guess, but the view and atmosphere was excellent.
Hated the idea of closing a complete stand , looks worse tbh
Shocking idea, the Corner and South Stand were rocking Friday night.
At least the Telegraph stand can go back to being an incredibly empty and soulless place.
I personally dont understand why people choose to sit in the 80% empty telegraph stand anyways , so dull in thereWe wouldn't need a closed stand if we can keep the attendances up and every one makes their best efforts (affordability of course) to attend as many as they can.

For the first time ever the telegraph made alot of noise Friday night, however I imagine this was due the unusual crowd being in that stand, otherwise, I am afraid so.
Given the choice , you would always sit behind the goal next to awy fans though rightI agree it is a morgue 90% of the time, I think it was mainly for people who wished to sit behind a goal, but now, hopefully we have two stands to choose from.
It was improved, but still 80% were sitting down.
I wouldn't want to be in a stand which has its back rows closed... Atmosphere will drift away.
From whre I was so was the south stand sitting down that is..
Agreed with the atmosphere comment, although a clustered group would make more of an atmosphere, but lets face it, only the corner / south will generate an atmosphere if permitting we are allowed next to the away fans and the corner will always generate a atmosphere for those in it.
For a true buzzing atmosphere though in all areas of the ground we need 20k minimum in their week in week out.
Hoping more will be coming back now.
