Hi, Yeovil fan in peace here. Not sure if I'm posting in the correct place but in case any of you were wondering, here's what the Ricoh Arena looks like from the view of an away supporter!

Really enjoyed the day, and was incredibly impressed by your stadium! I mostly liked the way that the sound resonated around so you could still create a bit of atmosphere, some bowl stadiums don't do that. Your boys looked so comfortable on the ball, although I thought we acquitted ourselves well in glimpses. Frank Nouble looked very dangerous for you, and I'm guessing we're not the first team to be over-powered by Reda Johnson! Take care guys, hope to see lots of you at Huish Park later in the season

Pretty loud, especially when you went 2 - 1 up. Hopefully the green and white barmy army kept up

It was hard to hear you guys when you had 20 or so singing, but when you were all in full voice it was a good noise

Very impressed with the turn out by you guys, Gills had about half of your attendance. Any idea on your numbers?

Think it was 450, however because we were a bit spread out it looked less - plenty of flags though!

at the end of this film there's a selection of vid's you can choose to watch, ones called Coventry away day by a little boy who seems to think Yeovil won 1-0

Are you still banging on about that?? People can sit where they want and not where some on here want them to.

Some top beards from the Yeovil lad's, some of the lasses beards were equally impressive (only joking ) perhaps you could advise the hobo that "passes" as our chairman some tips on beard grooming.

I was sat in block 34 which is the other corner on that side of the Ricoh and I definitely heard you lot at times. I thought you did yourselves proud.

As in Bristol, Bradford and everywhere else except Sheffield, United got around 19,000.
what is your point Grendel, it is third tier football?

I thought you would put yourself at a higher level than that.

As you know we have only had one thing to celebrate in nearly 50 years. Our supporters younger than 35 won't even remember it. How many younger than 20 can remember us being a Prem club? But we frequently get told our support was good away from home. 3rd division? Not me. Not the vast majority of us.

Our average home gates are those of a 3rd division outfit. Correct or not? How many teams in the leagues above have gates of 11k for a Saturday home match barring those with capacity constraints?

Why do I go every week instead of using the until recently relatively unknown trivia that we've not had a top 6 finish for 50 years?
