Caused by the "upper tier only" and "lower tier only" segregation of North Stand turnstiles. There, presumably to solve issue of people buying for upstairs and moving downstairs. Used to be combined. Fewer issues. Especially as they seem to have bunched the upper tier ones at one end and the lower at the other, meaning people have to walk at each other, instead of just entering the stand at the end they came in at.
I really like what someone else said about a corner stand from the North Stand into the new Cobbold. I know Mark Ashton likes his four stand stadia but that's literally what's needed: something to link the two groups.
As long as it didn't fill up with ever more people going there *for* the atmosphere, not to *make* the atmosphere.
Let's be honest. The acoustic problem is mainly because not enough people are joining in. There was no acoustic problem at full time and for the odd song like Town go marching in
Unallocated seating in the lower North Stand would sort things out. Although I think you have to undersell the capacity to be allowed to do that, which would make it a non starter likely
I did this today. Bought a ticket in block A, singing section. Game kicks off. Everyone sits down. 10% people joining in singing mostly. Pretty maddening.
This was the area to the right of the steps as you look at the stand.
I agree. The drum stomps over stuff constantly, even their own songs. Should be used sparingly to keep people in time, not pumping out samba rhythms so you can't hear anyone's voices.
