heard the attendance was 4,423 is that right??

Thats what it was reported as in

I prefer the east stand as it exposes me to overdosing on UV, I'm 100 metres from the pitch and can see nothing, no one sings and its full of miserable people-Value for money

Be honest. The attraction is its proximity to the bar. That and the distance it put between you and the former coach.

I agree they played well enough first half and were a bit unlucky but we didn't do much of note once Wigan scored first in the second half. The result was never in doubt.

Good point. Some of the best times were at Brentford in a single packed stand. So how come I don't feel the same at the Stoop? I reckon the configuration makes all the difference. Brentford is a compact little ground, the stand was intimate and enveloping and the mood infectious, unlike the east stand, we were much closer to the action even hearing the impact of collisions, and of course as jbuzza says we were consistently competitive. And we had Homer to lead the chanting. God, what a foghorn. While the Stoop doesn't have the running track or Siberian vastness of Crystal Palace or Barnet its openness is more akin to them than to Brentford's intimacy.

The Brentford comparison is not comparing like with like.

The Stoop is more likely to rock with three stands open. Re-opening the west was the best move of the season.

I agree, give the public what they want, never a bad move in business.
