Na, much better with the noise in the east stand, during the better games it would spread right along so most of the stand was singing and it's better when you can see the opposition fans it gets the banter going and makes a better atmosphere, not that I'd prioritise this over getting concessions back.
I doubt they ignored it. It generated a lot of media coverage, and was cited in the ctwd submission to the FA, linking the HDM article and Allam's words about it.
Just had a quick scan of the copy I saved and no mention of Tenfoot. A sober, thorough read tomorrow may prove more enlightening. The authors, compilers, all those responsible for the presentation did a great job.
