It's all too disparate, it makes getting people singing too hard.

I'm a perfect example of the kind of fan you need to get singing. I love singing, but am socially awkward/sober enough that I won't do it on my own. I very rarely sing at the Ricoh because I'm just on the edge of CET. However if everyone was closer together I'd be more likely to sing and at away games I sing for 90 minutes.

So much more could have been done to improve the atmosphere at The Ricoh.

ditto

Agreed, always so spread out at the Ricoh.
The JPT nights crammed together let everyone join in with the chants.

For atmosphere you need many things.

A team playing well on the pitch -Which we never had.

Close proximity between the away and Home fans - never had that unless there was a big following.

The close proximity of fans - unless it was full, this was never the case.

Agree about the JPT nights. Against PNE I was at the opposite end to Singers corner but everyone was singing there.

Im the same as shmmeee, I like joining in with a good sing song, but only when its already loud so I'm not drawing attention to myself!

I'm not so sure about 1 on your list. Maybe for sustained singing throughout, but most away games show that just 2 & 3 are enough to get it started.

Whenever we started performing, last season is a good example, the Ricoh sounded good, like Walsall at home, everyone was singing and there was only 13000 there.

Oh sure it helps, I just think it's not necessary. There's a lot of chicken and egg talk when it comes to fans support and the team playing well, but I think that there's conditions that can create good support before the team starts playing well (from there it's up to the team to carry it on)
