The atsmosphere was like it is in about three-quarters if all our games... SHITE!
The two singing areas don't sing enough, and a big point, not for long enough per song! They might start off a song but don't sing and sing and sing it, so it dies before it even leaves the vocal area. So the stadium is quiet again before most songs ever catch on anywhere in the ground. I sit in the East Stand and will join in with the songs I hear from the vocal areas but I can be singing with 10 others near me and we'll be on our own as the vocal areas will have just stopped singing! How are songs ever gonna catch on around the ground if that's the case?
And out of 44000-47000 in attendance regularly, areas that total about 3000 vocal fans when added together, just isn't enough to get a proper atmosphere going! The areas are too small, even if they were next to each other, but they're not even that, they're two areas that are spilt up who don't even like each other!
I've read threads on here that say; "the South Stand was bouncing today" and I've thought 'WHAT?!' and when I was in my seat not noticed you at all or thought you were outsung by even average away fans!
Hopefully when the stadium is redeveloped something is done to incresase the vocal areas from the five and a half blocks either side of the away fans on the bottom tier, like all it is now!
