Plus many people saying it was to dangerous at half time behind the stands trying to go to the loo etc, may be we should open the old telegragh stand so people are not frightened to take there kids or wives up, we are going to loose supporters if we don't. this would make it more safe and easy at half time and getting in and out the stands.

Keep everyone close, but they need to sort out the concourse. Opening a second smoking area would help.

You had people queuing up for drinks, people going to the toilet, people trying to return to their seat after going to the toilet, smokers trying to get round from blocks 15-18 trying to go out for a fag, smokers coming back from having a fag, and people coming down to get away from the cold. We've had sell outs - Chelsea, Crewe JPT and Gillingham and the concourse wasn't as bad as it was on Saturday.

Opening the Telegraph stand will lead to a dispersal of fans and gaps will start to emerge and we will lose atmosphere.

I guess we could keep the stand closed but just open a bit of the concourse below for fans to have a little more room at half time

The improved atmosphere will have gained us supporters. Don't open the telegraph as that would be a terrible idea, just open a little more of the concourse below to ease the half time congestion if it becomes a problem.

You can get all the way around the back of the telegraph. I don't think it would solve anything as the congestion is blocks 15 to 21.

Its not like its an old fashioned narrow concorse. They should be able to work out why everyone is moving around so much blocking it up and fix the problem fairly easily.

I put the safety of kids and people , before atmosphere plus after Paris it would help with security, now crowds are improving I think we might need to do this (open Tel stand) if it looks like over 15000 are going to be there.

I can't work out if you are being serious or not.

The atmosphere at matches since they have moved fans closer to ever has increased exponentially. Any decision to revert back would be ludicrous.

It was very congested - to the point that I went down to pick up some food for me and 2 kids but simply returned to my seat empty handed. The 2 kids then went down during the 2nd half and missed the Gillingham goal and Armstrong hitting the post so it wasn't all bad!
