It's got to be better than Northampton though, right? Numbers are looking better already by some accounts. If we got through that, we can get through this!

Maybe less pressure on the players as well...less people to boo them!

I'm sure it will be. Northampton was pretty dire, especially evening and winter games. Still glad I did it though.

I think the atmosphere will be more positive, particularly at away games where I hope there aren't the bust ups of the Northampton season and I don't see anyone shouting scab yet but 3,000 people including away fans knocking round a stadium the size of St Andrew's is going to be depressing. I doubt we'll be able to get an atmosphere going at all.

Doubt it will be much worse than the Ricoh. St Andrew's is at least a proper stadium. I don't think modern bowls do anything for atmosphere.

Yep, agreed. But I guess my point was to the fact that we managed to get through Sixfields were the atmosphere was arguably worse than what it'll be at St Andrews. We still managed to get players in, we still managed to play decent football, we still managed to get decent results (by and large) **despite** Sixfields and its lack of atmosphere. I cannot see St Andrews being as bad.

And as Torch says, it's not like the Ricoh is the hotbed of atmosphere!

Hmm, I agree that I prefer a 'traditional' ground. Ricoh can manage a great atmosphere with a big crowd mind you. The other thing that'll trash St Andrews atmosphere is looking out across two empty stands - three when we have away teams who bring about 150. At least the Ricoh tended to have *somebody* all around the ground.

That counts for a lot. You can have a half-decent atmosphere in a small stadium when it's packed out. St Andrews will be taking inspiration from TS Eliot at times.

Remember when arsenal were doing up Highbury and they had that painting of fans behind the goal. We should be able to get something for the Ricoh (if we ever return). Not fans or a painting but a giant cov badge behind the goal draped from the roof to behind the goal would look better than an empty stand.

Edit - Mural is the word I was looking for.

I remember they only painted white folk on it initially :jawdrop:

Or we could fill it with fans using green screen.

Yeah, the return game against Gillingham was great. It has had it's moments; far and few between unfortunately.

Yep you have to buy four hospitality season tickets. I know because I was only going to get 3 and wouldnt have got the parking... one more decides to come and boom , free parking.

Bit shit that you have to be there hour before and wait till 45 mins after to leave though

How do the match packages work? My son, who will be 14 when the season starts, & I will only be able to get to maybe 3 games each next season. Can I buy a 6 match package and use it for both myself and son 3 times or does he have to have a separate one?

No that's fine, you can just order tickets as you need them.

You could take 6 people to one game and use them all if you want.

Only thing is, if you buy an adult one to share with him im not sure what that's like cost wise if he's 14 and he's using an adult match pass.

Thanks Nick. It depends how much it costs per individual game, if it is £20 for me & £10 for him that'd be £90 if we got to 3, no idea yet what the match packages will cost yet, it costs me about £90 in diesel to attend each game so ticket price is not that important.
