CCFCStef - I meant the atmosphere in the ground, and i think you'll find our "2 decent stands" will comfortably fit your clubs average attendance in. Stan - As a steward you must be so proud. I apologise! I forgot your teams currennt management would want to milk as much cash as possible. I suppose this includes selling more seats to the best supported teams. worky, bowburn, i made a wee hash of this but i promise i'll do a better one next time. I keep forgetting that now we are "the big draw" for teams. Sorry guys, been on the beer today.

I'm sure you'll keep us busy when you arrive (I normally work block 9/10 on vomitory 41) but wrong on capacity away block carries just over 6000 but as its never filled it probably doesnt look that many. West Brom bought just over 5000 last season as did Chelsea in the cup. workyticket, sorry, m8 club policy is to generally to fill blocks 8,9,10 and use 6 and 7 as overflow, but never mind, we aint gonna fall out over this are we.

“Toonsy, have you actually been to the Ricoh m8. The away fan area actually holds 6000+ and is placed directly behind one of the goals – not in a corner as you say”

Stan, officially, it’s around 3000, and it says that away supporters are usually situated towards the corner in blocks 6/7?

The away fan area actually holds 6000+ and is placed directly behind one of the goals - not in a corner as you say - fans are only placed there when they bring less than about 1000, which wont be the case with your club, I'm sure. Also we arrange a smoking area for away fans at half time so they can get their nicotine therapy. Smoking is not allowed in the stands and it's possible you may get removed for smoking and drinking in the stand. Anyway, welcome to all you Newcastle fans. See you on the 9th Dec as I am a Steward on away fans stand - Jewson or yellow stand Toonsy, have you actually been to the Ricoh m8.
