Really think the atmosphere is better when we are more compact, keep the stand closed and move the 20 season ticket holders into the east stand!!
You know it makes sense!!!

Yup it is for sure
Be nice if the telegraph stand ever sung too...they used to be the party starters

we moved from stand 24 to 26 when then opened up the corner bit, much better view there, your looking straight ahead in 26, compared to a slight angle in 24 causing neck ache, keep it as it was tonight with the corner bit open.
Good to see North stand turnstyles open, easy access tonight.

I agree and would happily move over from the telegraph stand, will never happen though because too many would moan
Moan? You mean express an opinion!
I think the ground looks bad half empty and in front of sky cameras when the camera shows empty stands looks worse than having scattered around! Makes us look a bit silly imo
There is a choice of viewing at The Ricoh these days. Our own personal tickets are family stand based, but only because they were cheap and we always felt that we could sit where we liked this season.
This has proved to be the case and i must say that, although the Telegraph stand were probably the original pretenders to the West End crown, this has not proved to be the case.
The Telegraph stand has, maybe 20 guys who try to inspire the odd song, and fair play, but they fail!!
I think that initially when The Ricoh opened, The Telegraph stand was full of many fans who have drifted away due our general demise.
We love the versatility of varying views at The Ricoh, but must agree that The Telegraph Stand is one of the least enjoyable places to watch the game.
I do look forward to the day when the ground fills again on a sea of Sky Blue optimism.

Don't have to take the comment to heart so much, wasn't having a go at anyone. Just expressing an opinion
How often are we on sky? it looks silly anyway as it is, a third full stadium every week
Agreed, I think something needs to be done. Having people scattered around does nothing for the atmosphere and needs to be addressed. How about closing the back rows off in all of the stands to get everyone closer to the pitch, then open up behind the goal next to the away supporters?
I know it's unlikely to happen but I think it might work.
Just an idea, like

Why not just cover the seats above where you enter the stands so all the fans are close to the pitch all round the ground. Least it would look better on tv and it seams a disadvantage that the away team have fans behind a goal to spur them on and we have empty seats at the other end
The fact that the away fans are a million miles away from singers corner doesn't help the atmosphere.
Shame really that they leave such a gap.
Funnily enough, didn't that happen because of trouble against Preston fans ?
Could be wrong though.

I've sat in the CT Stand a couple of times this season and the only noise I've heard from the fans there is abuse aimed at Baker, even if he's playing well!
In all seriousness, I agree with the OP. The atmosphere tonight and for the Sheff Utd game a few weeks ago was ten times better than the league games. I know £5 tickets probably makes a difference, attracting a different crowd etc, but grouping everyone together is better IMO. Either way, the scattering of fans or an empty stand looks shite but it's something we've got to deal with. I'd rather have an atmosphere though.

I have sat in the telegraph stand and agree it was full of whinging blokes that didn't like Mcsheffrey (and then it was Hussey). I know people are precious about their seats but the atmosphere at home league games is piss poor as there is a sprinkling of fans distributed throughout the ground. Pull everyone together and the noise increases (it also drowns out the whinging minority too).
You also wouldn't have to open every kiosk in the ground too....
