    Never felt so excited before season for many a season. If we ‘click’ early, get a quick goal we could see a big win. Neck out time 4 - 0.

    So he capacity is 37,300 for the season, was trying to find this information yesterday.

    We won’t be beating that Leeds number then, evidently.

    So if demand for tickets starts to exceed 40,000 will they reopen the top tier?

    I don’t think it’ll be as simple as that mate, I’d imagine the policing costs and staffing is budgeted in advance and wouldn’t be the easiest of things to change.

    I guess if it was going to cover the extra cost they’d consider it, but to do that and be savvy the numbers would need to be guaranteed.

    Does anyone know where the away fans are going I’ve never arsed myself to read into it.

    They're going to be above me in The Fulwell End, Nads, like they have been since some ****ing idiot decided that it would be a good idea a few years ago <steam>

    The Don has said that it had already been arranged for this season, but it'll be reviewed for next because of 'millions' of complaints about it ruining the atmosphere, though :emoticon-0105-wink:

    It did take away from the atmosphere moving them upstairs, no doubt about that, but they could do like they do at Molyneux & Selhurst Park, 2 cracking atmosphere and give them some space along side of pitch surely?

    I hoping for a win. But what I want to see is a team having a go looking like they give a **** and trying to play football.

    Looking forward to it

    Same here, a win would be a bonus but I just want to see the positive vibes around the place and all the new players going at it, so to speak. I get excited about seeing one new signing let alone eleven of them.

    Starting to get a bit of nervous excitement now, I'll have to have a drink tonight to help pass the time.

    I'm the same Burly, it's a step into the unknown with a new team and manager.
    Can these young lads hack it in front of what could be their biggest crowd of their careers.
    Time will tell, just over three hours to go.

    Not Cattermole in sight, rather Mumba all day long, he’s the future.

    Oviedo on the bench, anyone reckon he could stay for the season? Ross seems to think his attitude is decent, could be decent for us.
