When I used to sit on the benches in the old Platt Lane stand we always used to shoot towards the North Stand in the second half. It used to really annoy me. My dad told me it was because they paid more for their season tickets in the newly developed North Stand.Always baffled me why they do this. Seems like a complete own goal attacking the family stand in the second half. For a club that practically leaves no stone unturned to get an edge it's bizarre. We're that strong at home it's only the odd occasion that we need to drag the team over the line and probably why it isn't highlighted more. Hardly inspiring attacking a depleted family stand when we need a goal.
Sunday was definitely better atmosphere-wise than Chelsea from Colin Bell L3. Another game we could have done with attacking the South Stand in the second half to 'suck' that second goal in.
East Stand Level 3 giving it some.
Fast forward to the 2nd half and watch from there.
Good video. No speaking. Just passages of play. And the atmosphere in the 2nd half after each goal.
You’ll have to watch it on YouTube via the link.
It's only an upopular view amongst those who sit on the bottom tier.Might be an unpopular view but the atmosphere would be 10x better on a regular basis if the main singing section was in SS3.
The noise travels so much better. Songs started in SS1 or Kippax corner rarely travel but SS3 rarely fails to get it going.
Is there a real need for the singers to be next to the pitch?
Been saying this for a while myself, and from 232 it's completely obvious that the sound from SS3 travels better than from SS1.Might be an unpopular view but the atmosphere would be 10x better on a regular basis if the main singing section was in SS3.

I hate these cup games for that reason. The away fans on the top tier will be giving it "Is this a library" all game becaus they can't hear the singing going around the bottom tier.Been saying this for a while myself, and from 232 it's completely obvious that the sound from SS3 travels better than from SS1.
It'll be clear to see next week when the Geordies are in SS3, we won't have a hope in hell of competing with them
