Yes - if you look at the "old roof" - it has millions of small holes in it! (not leaks!) and absorption material to allow noise to escape. It is a fundamental of the new design that the roof materials are reflecting noise back into the new end.

Yeah I think they were fool of rockwool as well looking at the pitures of them being brought down. Basically how you would build something to stop sound reflecting!

It will be vastly different & maybe considerably nosier even than Maine Rd, if they build the rest like the new roof. It's even changed the frequency of the reflected noise not just the volume & the sound from everywhere else is bouncing back from there. It will be awesome & imo makes the 'matchday experience' hugely better, thus more people will want to go. Just keep the prices down & we really are going to see something special.

Cheers for the reply.

Wait until we are averaging 60,000 in 3 years time and 70,000 + in ten years time? What are they going to say then? Yesterday was a momentous day in our clubs history. The new stand changed the whole dynamics of our stadium. I have been going on about the impact the change in the acoustics that's the roof material would have for 18 months. I have to be honest yesterday was the day our stadium started to feel like a football stadium rather than a converted athletics stadium. That might seem extreme but I think a fair comment. The extra 2/3 rows at the bottom reduce the bowl effect and the noise stays in the stadium rather than escaping. I cannot wait for the North End to start. It was great to see so many different fans and new faces there where I sit as well. Imagine an end that holds 12,000 in a single tier. That's what we want at the north - move City Square to the Collar site and it will get even better. Yesterday wasn't just a football game - it was an experience - a pleasure to witness. Let the others go on about finding one empty seat or the minute we get a crowd below 50,000 - ignore it - it is fear. The end looked even better on TV. I love the fact the design of the stadium is future proofed. Its only going to get better.

Amen brother..

..and from what I experienced from 116 yesterday, safe standing has already arrived across the whole of the SS, and long may it continue..

If you look at their average home crowds during their glory days they were pretty feeble. Mid 30,000's most seasons. Didn't have an average home league crowd over 40,000 once between 1981 and 1998 - seventeen fucking years.

Another part of their history that's skillfully sidestepped.

This sums up my response to bitter rag and bin dipper comments

MUEN feel like they have had to buy a new stock of red pens - money down the drain me thinks

Sorry if posted before but do we know the last home attendance to beat yesterdays?
Remember over 52,000 v Everton in 81 cup quarter final

It's all discussed on page 21 of this thread. Officially it was the Sunderland cup tie in 1973.
