Great!Absolutely incredible noise from the fans today. Non-stop from the first minute. Be hard to find support like that in a 4th tier football league anywhere in the world. Definitely more than 1350 in there. A group of 5 next to me were able to buy tickets in the Grimsby ticket office at midday today.
Their loud and our loud are two totally different things.very loud today. you can tell when you're in there whether it's a good day or not. Today definitely was. Often we are quite subdued. That touch of injustice really got us going. Added to that fact their fans were silent. Weird since they took 2k+ top Chesterfield and were noisy, apparently
Maybe that is why my wife is happy for me to go to games. Peace while I am gone and peace when I get back.Great atmosphere, these small traditional stadiums always sound great when we've good numbers singing together.
Unbelievable, still struggling to talk today
Great support but wish they wouldn't start the old "up the football league we go" after 2 games! :bangheadark it please till at least December.:emoji_thumbsup:
We have great away support. The home support would be much better if the ground wasn't too big for us.

It is like I said before the game. They are quiet at home. But they do make a noise away from home. So to them they are loud. It always sounds louder when you are in the middle of it. Our loud away from home is loud. But we normally need something to spark it. But when on song we are normally louder than the home supporters. Sometimes even when we are getting thrashed.

Like hell we doThat's why we need a revised Butts Park Arena!
Nope, we need a reasonably succesful team getting 20k+ gates, Ricoh more than half full will sound very good, the away support would be better again.That's why we need a revised Butts Park Arena!

I think you and a few others need to come to terms with the fact that they are no longer a London rugby team. Now I would love to see their demise or them moving again but it's not going to happen anytime soon. Sorry we are stuck with renting at the Ricoh that's the reality.Long-term we need to get something of our own sorted out and not play second fiddle to a London rugby team in their stadium.

Singers corner would be half the ground with a run of good fortune!
One thing i noticed last season was how quiet the ground sounds from the familly stand area, have familly that used to go into the far blocks 22-24 i think and occasionally id wander over if there wasnt a lot happening, where from block 16 we sounded really bubbly loud and voiciferous from the blocks far away it sounded really quiet and dead, depressingly flat.
If i wanted my children up there hoping they would enjoy it i would want them over the half of the ground with the noise and atmosphere not as far from it as possible.
We were averaging over 20k when SISU took over.The problem is, in 12 years or whatever it is, that has barely happened.
