Come over to block 19 torch. I used to sit behind the goal at HR for many seasons, but I think the view from 19/20 is the best in the ground.
The club already stated they would open it if their was demand, so read the whole article before commenting and saying stupid comments.

I said 'mostly' not 'all'...
Time will tell if it improves atmosphere or cut costs. It certainly isn't guaranteed. Atmosphere will be non existent if we have another season like we have just had which will also knock another few hundred off the gate.
All I'm saying is that they haven't thought about it logically. The key to atmosphere in my opinion is the shite placement of away fans.
I have to say that I'm a bit miffed as on a nice afternoon particularly we used to take a stroll round to the North Stand from block 17 if we were kicking that way in the 2nd half !! The sun was lovely on your face and you didn't have to worry too much about being hit with the ball if you dozed off a bit as chances were usually few and far between !
On an average match day how many sit in this stand?
Depends on if we are playing at home or away.
doesn't change things as much as you'd think ;-)
So if hardly anyone sits there how will shuffling them along to the rest of the empty ground achieve anything?

But surely it wouldn't cost much (if any) more to open the remaining south stand. Then people like the hatters, can still be behind a goal.
Yep, that's the way I see it too. Maybe not right behind the goal, but open up 14 and 13 to home fans.
I'm all for the north stand closing if it helps build some atmosphere, but we are always going to look like shit fans on television. Highlights and live games you will either see us scoring in front of the away fans, or scoring in front of an empty stand. It really will look crap.
The best thing for the North Stand is make it a school area and allow about a thousand school kids a matchin with teachers and a few helpers for a couple of quid or even free, have them sit right behind the goal and hopefully produce a bit of noise which will happen if we start winning on a regular basis.

Well, I agree, but not sure that is logistically possible with the hotel entrances in the corporate area. Otherwise it would make perfect sense.They should move the tv cameras around the other side. so you will see singers corner and the east stand IMO.
That's what block 25 is reserved for.
According to the club the health and safety bods won't allow that. Think they get referred to as the safety committee, not sure if that's part of the council or ACL. I have no idea why at every other club you only have to be separated by a couple of rows yet at the Ricoh it needs multiple blocks to be closed.
