So as the atmosphere is so effin shiite at the CG this season, match after match I was thinking that one match everyone should swap their comfy, good vantage point seats and head back in the town end and get the atmosphere back.  I think the ticket office will sort this out for free, so how about everyone piling back in the TE for the Stockport match?  Just an idea but maybe it'll be worth the rubbish view to get behind the lads for 90 minutes solid.

Thoughts?

Good idea Jan. Us Townenders have struggled with the half influx to the DRS and Arkells this year. The shit football hasn't helped either.

Will the Ticket Office defo let us do this for free then? I would be more than happy to move to the TE.

i'm sure I read earlier in the season the club said you could transfer across to another stand.  I'll mail the club and see if they wouldn't mind the ticket office doing this.  Surely in an attempt to get some kind of atmosphere going they wouldn't be opposed to the idea.

I'm pretty sure you can change your seat by informing the box office in advance on matchdays, they can then release your normal seat for sell.

well let's see how many of us are prepared to sacrifice the view and make the switch and take it from there. We've got a couple of weeks.

I asked earlier in the season and they said it would cost £15 to change seats.

Apart from that I'd be happy too.

Good idea Jan...though pity we couldnt fix it for the Brighton game...its massive now,seeing as they are in the drop zone now.

That's the fee they charge to change for the rest of the season.

If people who currently sit in other stands could say whether, if free, they'd be up for a TE "reunion" (of sorts) against Stockport, please say on here, then I can mention numbers to the STFC bloke I'll mail.  I'm sure they'd arrange it for free.

Whilst I admire the idea the Town End hasnt been on song for about 4 seasons now.

Exactly DV, if a few of us go back for one match, it'd show the management, the players, the board exactly that we do have a decent support, we're just all dotted around the ground.

Just a thought though, it'd need a good number of us to make it worth while.

I think I'm gunna try move to the TE for the rest of the season. Atmosphere is so shit in the DR Stand (Apart from Leicester). I'd rather a good atmosphere than a good view.

I don't have a ST but I'll join you all in the TE for this match if you move there!

Yep, i'd be up for that. I'm sure i can persuade the three other people i go with to do the same, so that's four of us!

Just out of interest what was the TownEnd like against tranmere,I was on holiday at the time,maybe it's just down to people staying away because of the shite we're being dished up at the moment.

Good idea. Nick Watkins mentioned a "top up the Town End" idea not long ago or said the idea was being muted. Contact him direct and see if perhaps he can advertise etc on the O/S as well? I believe their is some L&P funds left (i could be wrong as these were being given to Football in the Community) to get streamers, get the 12th man shirt back out?

Hate to say, but it won't work. It's not the lack of people in the stand, most of the people who are in the TE don't join in with chants anyway.

We need a new manager in, get the players fighting on the pitch and the fans will respond accordingly. You've only got to look at the Leicester game to realise this.
