CB Level 3 bang on the halfway line and there was as much noise from my left as there was from the right for the first time ever, we were all talking about it at halftime, be amazing next season

Thanks MP - on a day I’ve shed a tear or two that made me laugh. I shall raise a glass to you.

Last of my views from 101 (was 201) today
Impressive noise coming from the Pep Stand
And at last we have decent food options a stones throw from 101 at the new outlets behind the seats of the Pep Stand

Sat right in the middle of Pep stand.
Singing right and left and behind us, and a pleasant atmosphere.
I thought South Stand were good too.

But on 36 minutes I watched hundreds exiting for the bars, in the south, the same where I was sat. With 3 minutes added, and many not returning until after Villa equalised, nearly 30 minutes, I do not get it.

The atmosphere fell flat until the subs were made. I know it will not change, i just do not understand it.

Brilliant that 99.9 % of blues stayed, it was a memorable day.

I will never understand it, but each their own

This must be an acoustics thing, seen quite a few in the SS say they couldn’t hear anything from the Pep stand.
But I’m bang on halfway in the East lower and the north stand was definitely and noticeably louder than the south for large parts of the game
The pretty shameful, bone idle, complacent, shambolic no-show by the players in the second half did a lot to suck all the life out of the stadium

I’m just to the left of pep in the Colin bell stand. So I get a good perspective of the atmosphere from both ends of the ground.

When the south stand sing you can hear it clearly. But like you said I thought the north stand was louder.

You could hear the difference having so many fans in one large area made.

The continuous uninterrupted sweep from the L2 East and CB stands, into the vast NS is a thing of beauty.

[Gordyola]

Couldn’t believe how good it looked absolutely awesome From CBL3 plenty of noise it made the atmosphere so much better
North Stand North Stand give us a song, harping back to Maine Road

Looked mint from the south stand, didn't hear anything from them though. Would be good to hear genuine noise started from that end next season but I have my doubts.

You didn’t hear anything from the Pep stand?
It was rocking mate.

Up the south stand

Small stand in Beswick, you're just a small stand in Beswick :-)

Nope. Nothing notably different from usual. I'm not doubting anybody saying it was good but from south stand lower I noticed nothing and neither did anybody else around us. Some even sang a small rendition of "north stand, give us a song" about 3 times and booed every time because we didn't hear anything back.

Ironically, we didn’t hear that in the NS.

Most people in the ground assumed this was sattire. SSL1 couldn't compete with SSL3 and NSL2 today.

[M Gaudino]

i was in Pep Stand today, Row 46 must be about 2/3rds the way up. deafening. not sure if it was the day but it seemed massive a noise compared to my usual Colin Bell 3rd tier expereince.

the view was not so good though! - very high and miles away from the opposite end

 

[M Gaudino]

According to Peter Swales 17000.

if i remember correctly they said 60,333 maybe?

 

[Man-chester copperpot]

Thankyou to Boltonblue77 for the tickets today.
Great view & atmosphere.
I was smug a fcuk and showed off to my pals on whatsapp that i could buy my half time pint before kick-off.
No more queuing.

Went down at half-time but couldnt find my receipt which pissed me off so had to queue up and buy another one

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Couldn’t hear anything from NS in SS3 so hopefully the noise is not lost a bit due to the size of the crowd.

What is the stand like for anyone who went in?
