Yes but with the away end being so big and so few away fans it is still like only behind one goal.
Sorry disagree with this, atmosphere is created by all those who like to create a good atmosphere being located in one area of the ground, this is why the atmosphere at away games is often better than home matches. I think this is a backward step.Some people prefer to watch the match behind the goal some people like to watch from the side... Let people have a choice. And it will have no bearing on atmosphere. Atmosphere is generated by the quality of he match

I 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.
Could the number of sold season tickets be another factor in reversing the decision?
I'm asking that like I know how many season tickets have been sold and I don't. Does anyone know how many season tickets have been sold to date?
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.
I can understand your point in a full stadium, however when there are 10- 12000 rattling around in there it just ends up disjointed. As for Friday I think everybody was so fired up to see the team back that it took care of itself.I think ghettoisation of the terraces decreases atmosphere to be honest. Like "singers corner" the only people who hear that "atmosphere" are those in that corner. I think one of the reasons the atmosphere was so good last Friday was because people were forced to sit all over and you have spots of "singers" encouraging those near by to sing.
Is it listening to the fans, surely the only people making any noise about the closure of the north stand would be those that didn't agree with being moved, those who thought it a good idea are not likely to contact the club and tell them.They probably baulked at the quote for moving the padded ones lol.
Bit of a cock up then, if I were them I'd stick with how things are after all this messing about, and just open up blocks when needed on a game-by-game basis. I guess they believe they will either get decent home gates from now on - or expect larger away followings?
Nice that they are "listening to the fans", though it does go against the idea of a more passionate atmosphere.

Examples of an attendance close to 8k with a good atmosphere?
Birmingham in lge cup
Preston in jpt
Perhaps they are reserved for you ?
I will not be happy if I can't get my old seat back. It's my lucky seat FFS.....
I was at the Birmingham game and disagree and the Preston match only proves my point
The quote says It's to do with customer satisfaction and the Managers wish.
More likely to do with Practicalities around segregation and Police influence .
It seems to be forgotten that for the first 2 -3 seasons It's where the most atmosphere was created and perfectly well IMO.
People equated It to the Old WE @ HR ,then Singers Corner evolved and things dissipated .
Not moaning, things evolve,just setting the record straight ,It may have become dead In there more recently ,but that wasn't always the case.

You do realise if CCFC got promoted you will have to move again next season.
Leeds/Wolves/Birmingham all bring 6k fans. They will need to go behind a goal.
Moving season tickets 3 times in under a year!
We feel a bit like that!Staying where i am now.. cant be arsed!
I suspect that it has actually been forced upon them but they'd rather take the appeasing the fans line.Think this is a foolish idea personally. The justification for moving everyone to the South Stand was that the atmosphere was poor under the old seating arrangements. Therefore they have already acknowledged that the atmosphere will be poor this season.
If they had just left alone and had it how it was to start with then fine. But to close a stand, open a new one, and then close the new one, and reopen the old one, all in two weeks just looks very amateurish.
