    Yeah feels well weird <laugh>

    Interesting how they've put the barriers in for the away end. Trying to work out how many extra blocks will be given for FA Cup games.

    Surely the first block with the line of white seats won't be enough so will need the second block too, or half of it with rest used for segregation perhaps?

    I was sat here pondering that as well. Those barriers look pretty permanent, so don't leave much room for more/less allocations at all.

    I'm sure they've thought of it, though. Wasn't there talk of away allocations extending into the Kingsland?

    I know it's frowned upon, but I will miss the fan surge after a goal across the black netting. Always made me chuckle from afar.

    Yeah it will extend into Kingsland and therefore beyond those barriers. Only a couple of games a season though so shouldn't be too much of an issue.

    Other thing I'm wondering is if capacity has been reduced. Including the away end must be about a third of the stadium as safe standing.

    There's 2 things I absolutely hate
    1) Change.
    2) Things staying the way they are.

    Anyway absolutely no idea how this one is going to go but COYR

    Fair play to Saints, popped into the fanzone for 20 mins to avoid the rain and it was cracking

    Now for three points - COYR

    Not convinced with playing a back five in a home match. Doesn’t seem to be much attacking threat in the side

    There seems to be an absolutely enormous gulf in class here. And this should be one of the other “strugglers”. The gap between the leagues has got crazy in the last couple of years
