The days of all those sky blue seats under the corporate boxes being empty appear to be over. Good. Thought they looked terrible from the cameras

Still need the balcony sorted, surely will get sorted under Doug. It let's the stadium down when you see it so empty

It’s still an issue for me. They need the sky cameras on the balcony showing the opposite stand. Looks poor on TV when you see an empty end to the balcony.

They are full for the next two games I am going to Blackburn and WBA

From the padded seats the East Stand is amazing - it would look great on TV.

Pricing curiosity WBA ticket near halfway line East Stand £56. Ticket in the padded seats £61...

Wonder how you’d install them in the posh stand? Not much space for a gantry.

I assume it'll need some internal reconfiguration in the stand itself, so probably something to look at in the summer.

Blackburn will be drilled on their low block tactics, X2 for this one Going to the free scoring Coventry City, what else are they going to do

Will be an interesting test.

Norwich and Hull both picked up draws at the CBS this season, with the former riding lady luck, and the latter probably deserving a point. Brum & QPR thought they could go toe-to-toe with us and paid the price. Don't think we'll see many teams trying that again at the CBS.

Can see it being a 1-0 to City, with Ellis Simms banging in the winner.

Norwich tried the low block and every trick in the book but if it wasn't for a lot of luck and some wayward finishing, we'd have stuffed them n'all

yeah, as things currently are there are more seats on the balcony than the safety regs let in the the lounges.

I think this is a very important game for us, momentum can be lost after an international break. If we can get a win it should set us up nicely, but I can also see it go the other way and then dent our confidence a bit.

Really? I'd take a scrappy sub-par performance after the international break and 1-0.

I think one of the easier reconfigs would be to move the press box into one corner of the balcony. There's roughly 80 press spaces in the press box in an area that could house 250 odd normal seats.

The press box is a prime location and would be so much better if it was sold for seating definitely

Really bugs me too. I like the stand, with the white stripe running across it. Unique, but those empty spaces...
Even worse beginning of 2nd half.

Anyone know why they’ve switched that flag to the North Stand now?

Is it the fire risk from the flame machines?

Look at the goals we’re scoring only one really good move per game the others are all tap ins or reactions in the box which when you have 6 people in the box it’s more likely
Also at some point our best player will come back
