Galley is our king Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 5 hours ago, myol'man said: The 'singing section' (what a stupid phrase) should always have been the centre 3 blocks of of the South Stand, replicating the old East End, difficult to implement now because so fans fans are now ingrained into 'their' seats. Difficult but not impossible. Corner block could then have been offered as cheaper season or matchday tickets. E33 or A block in old money, could from next season be offered over to the yoof and current A block season ticket holders offered the chance to move seats at no extra cost. Oh, and stop Swansea fans from entering via the concourse nearest to the Dolman and encroaching over the netting. Not the first time that has happened. No it's impossible! Not for the first time.... you CANNOT have standing blocks in the centre because people sitting in adjacent blokes can't see half the pitch!!! The old east end worked because everyone was stood up!!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnowleUtd City Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Good opportunity for all the young lads to get in E34 v WBA. The whole block is available cheap, and WBA are gonna fill the whole Atyeo so should make for a good old FA Cup atmosphere! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The turtle Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Not sure if it's sound mic, TV , or perception, but it sounds beyond quiet today. About the only thing can hear is the buzz of conversation. Has the move been less effective today? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Cold and drab. Blackburn very quiet. Nothing really on show to get either fans going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUTOR Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Wow surprised to hear the above.. atmosphere if quieter still so much better than the rest of the season, songs spreading around the stadium again, atmosphere today better than any ‘winning’ atmospheres we’ve had all season 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happens some games. It can be really hard to tell what the atmosphere is actually like 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigTone Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Must say today on Robin's TV the sound was more profound. Where from I wouldn't know but generally sounded better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wild Bunch Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Good atmosphere at AG today. Fans got right behind the team from the start. Vyner finally has a song! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Another odd one today. I sit in the family stand, level with the 18 yard box at the south stand end. I didn’t hear the A Block at all all game, but the sound coming from S82 was loud and clear. S82 certainly looked much more populated than last week too. Clearly there was sound coming from A Block as others have heard and witnessed, but from where I was I didn’t hear a thing, honestly. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically what we already know - you will rarely hear fans at the opposite end of the stadium. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not in any way slagging off the move to A Block. I’m all for it and always have been. Just saying that our stadium can be a bit weird at times in terms of what you can and can’t hear depending on where you are. I’m pretty much equidistant to A Block and S82, but both the last 2 games I’ve only heard S82. Which again is odd, because for the previous few games prior to that, there was nothing coming from S82 at all! It’s all very odd! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Careful Harry you mustn't upset our Ultras!!

The corner has been noisier since the A block lot moved out, I think there are 2 parts to this, less competing songs and a bit of competition for the noisiest area of the stadium. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBibs Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 I was at the other end of the Lansdown near the away end. Could hear A block but S82 were much louder. Blackburn fans very quiet. Strange as they had decent numbers. I wonder if the Blackburn fans being kept well away from A block kept the A block noise a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll reply to any thread I want thank you and do not need your permission. What I said if you care to understand is that there seemed to be more noise today but on TV it does not indicate from where in the ground. I was not being derogatory in any sense but if you have taken offence then that is your rather disturbing problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The chief Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Big Nige praised the atmosphere again tonight in his post matcher… reckon the combo of S82 and the block formerly known as ‘A’ is defo helping. As are the performances . Things are looking up…. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Thought 1st half noisy to begin but quite flat. 2nd half yes enjoyed that, game and atmosphere. The latter and perhaps the former better 2nd half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand there was a lot of noise from the standing section at the Dolman / South Stand corner. Strange with the Blackburn fans as they didn’t make a peep except when there was the first goal. You’d think that anyone who traveled that distance to stand in the cold would be a bit more enthusiastic 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
