Where would you sit in the new stadium?

I wouldn't mind a seat around the half-way line, I reckon. About two-thirds of the way up.

Yeah, that sounds good. Plus if I put my application in now I might get my season card for the first game.
 
All about the smaller stand that’s opposite the main stand. This is where maximum noise would be made because of the lower roof. Note that at derby the noise came from the right of us and nothing was really heard from the bigger main stand to our left.

And, again like at derby the atmosphere will be greater and noise louder the closer you are to the away end. I for one will be planning on sitting in said smaller stand as close to the away fans as possible. Equivalent to west stand block X at the hall.
 
If it all goes wrong you'll probably get a row to yourself, just like the good old days.
 
Big fat comfy chair on the halfway line for me please.. preferably near the bar..

I think that would be a very unwise move by the club, more provocative than proactive. I would suggest that the club would want fans to support the club with positive cheering and motivational singing to spur on the players on the pitch, rather than spend their entire time looking at the away fans with 90 minutes of unexplained attraction, drawing fingers aggressivly across throats and goading opposition fans into an intense period of provocative close-harmony singing. Reciprocation is seen in the eyes of the provocateurs as "unfair" with half-witted response of stamping feet accompanied with demands for the stewards to "do samfink", surely not progressive towards a positive attitude inside the stadium. What say you?

I'd have to have a look around, but front row of the second tier behind the goal or on the halfway line takes my liking.

I suppose the way they SHOULD allocate seats is to take the season ticket holders that have been a season ticket holder at the hall for the longest first, gradually working down to people who havent ever had a season ticket.

Anyone else agree?

Isn't there exec boxes going around some of the ground, and therefore making a second tier above? I agree its not really much of a tier.
 
We need too make sure everyone who enjoys a sing song sits together this time. Roots hall is great when you hear singing coming from all corners of the ground but its so quite.

If everyone sits together the atmos will be great.

I cant understand why people sit and watch football in scilence.
Wheres the passion. Get involved.

The team play a lot better if the crowd gets behind them.
Its not just the players who make the club.
Its us.
The Fans.
