Quote: KaeruJim "I don’t think terracing is where planners want you to be these days; there is a big safety element. The new stadium is ace.
What ruins the atmosphere is fickle fans booing their own club and players. We had a great atmosphere at Hull which was all seated.'"
I agree, the new stadium is fantastic, but with seats at the back of the South Stand it has killed the atmosphere in there. You can have a great atmosphere in all seater stadiums, but the atmosphere normally starts with chanting from the back of the stand, that’s just how it is. The acoustics are better and the atmosphere then spreads forwards. The best atmosphere I’ve ever been part of was Warrington away, play off semi final 2011, on the away terrace, but the fans make the atmosphere at a ground whether it’s all seater or mixed. There’s a different demographic and vibe at away games too, that always helps. Unless you enforce an ultras only rule in the South Stand seats it’s always going to be a less voiciferous stand than the original.
