The noise generated as the players come out was amazing. I think last night has to be the best ever atmosphere at the Ricoh.

Yeah, for once the Ricoh Roar existed. It took us nine years but we finally had a brilliant atmosphere. It wasn't like that against Chelsea or Crewe, though Leeds came close.

To be fair, there have been plenty of games there where the atmosphere has been excellent, especially in the first couple of seasons when we were getting 24K+ quite regularly, but also in more recent seasons.
I remember Chris Coleman describing the Blackburn game as the best match atmosphere he had experienced in his career.
Even games like Preston in the JPT stand out, despite a relatively small crowd. Obviously, it wasn't like that often enough, but then name me a ground at this level where it isn't crap pretty much all of the time.

Your right, I think last night would have been a great atmosphere with half the crowd. So it doesn't always correlate to the size of the crowd.

YEah true, Preston and Blackburn were good, but last night was real atmosphere, almost electric.

| I have to say in 20 years of following the Gills I haven't experienced too many other atmospheres quite as vocal and passionate as that last night. At one point after the goal went in I did fear we might crumble in that cauldron of noise. |
