    East stand and Ponty both nearing sell out. The £10 offer seems to be working, and I don't begrudge people paying less than me, if it gives us a good atmosphere and result on the day - come on - lets sell out the home area! Even the bad seats in the West stand? :redface:

    The West Stand are the best seats, the rest of the ground looks beautiful.

    Atmosphere is generally poor at Oakwell. It's a big ground, only half full and we're all spread out. It was particularly quiet against Wolves, slightly better against Brighton but is has been far better. Hopefully the fact that's it's Huddersfield (Yorkshire rivals) will make for a noisier atmosphere. We should do all we can to help the team get the points.

    Imagine a similar stand to the East replacing the West and you'd trap all the acoustics, it's not the atmosphere thats bad the Ponty do their best but it's lost over a small stand and open corners. Rotherham's ground sounds like there's 20,000 in when they score, all the ground enclosed.

    There's no doubt that there will be plenty of noise from the away end, especially while it is 0-0. Once our fourth goal goes in though they will be a bit miffed.

    Just hope they are not allowed to bring their drum. Hate drums at football matches. And these big flags that are gradually creeping in - the ones that are waved about behind the goals I mean. How can anyone see the pitch past all those?

    I'm all for historic buildings and preserving heritage and all that but I really see no value in keeping the West stand as it is. It will be sad to see it go but the ground will be better when that side is developed.

    3,800 sold by them so far and lots of restricted seating in our ends. Should be good.
