Now the majority sit that end now would it not make sense to attack that way in the second half it would keep the away fans quite as well.

So you want us to spoon it out for a throw in or corner in the second half, completely ignoring the goal?

They would be attacking an empty stand (Not that the CT is anywhere near full). The majority of fans that end only just start to go round the corner and the away fans are shoved in the opposite corner. With the away attendances we'll be getting this season i can't see too many team's away fans actually reaching behind the goal.

No, the whole ground represents the hardcore following. Singers corner represents an element of that.

The club will buy into anything our fans come up with.

Singers corner (I too prefer to refer to it as Block 15)
League one your (arrogance IMO)
Like Brazil (away shirt)

I guess this is a bit difficult if you don't win the toss as mentioned, perhaps a two sided coin?

So in the second half you want the players to attack a couple of thousand empty seats.

League One tour is completely disrespectful and to be honest, contradicts everything else the club has said about this season. They have fully and repeatedly acknowledge that it will be a tough league to get out of, yet they print those T-shirts!!

Why the club cannot open blocks 10, 11 and 12 in the south stand for home support to ensure that both "ends" have home representation is beyond me. If fans really do make a difference as football clubs always suggest; then surely opening these blocks, concludes the debate about attacking a specific end, 1st or 2nd half?
The safety related argument for closure of these blocks doesn’t wash anymore if it ever did? Premiership clubs accommodate more fans with a far reduced “Safety” zone between opposing fans. Far better to close corner blocks if underlying financial reasons i.e stewarding costs per block are a factor. Opening blocks 10,11 and 12 would assist in creating a more “robust” atmosphere and with dwindling attendances this surely has to be an advantage to our promotion campaign underpinned by fortress Ricoh?

I sat in block 15 for a season.. It's not so much singers corner, but singers top 2 rows of block 15 corner.. Bloody horrible place to sit.. Few real undesirables in there, I have seen them bully 1 of there own fans who was about 65 for a number of weeks until the old fella moved seats.. That was the end for me.

we're not like Liverpool don't like defending the kop second half as an example but it really wont effect us as the ricoh is only a 3rd full half the time, and there are no fans behind either goals almost

Attacking the away end in the 2nd half means our team facing the sun as it gets lower in the sky - making things a bit more difficult, especially for our goalkeeper. Perhaps that has something to do with the choice of ends to attack.

As loud as it seems when youre sat in block 15, when you sit in the telegraph stand it really isnt that loud unless the rest of the fan join in. I sat in both on Tuesday night, when in block 15 it seems rediculously loud...when in the telegraph you can barely hear the songs. I dont think it matter which end we attack per half, we need every one of our 6000 fans to join in to craete any kind of atmosphere for the team.
