The capacity in one of our stands is the same as the capacity of the entire ground of a lot of clubs at our level.

And can we intimidate the opposition as well with sound from only one side rather than three? I very much doubt it.

The sound only comes from one side anyway

Strangely having one part full stand may generate a better atmosphere than 3 sparsely populated stands

We might need more ball boys though!

Would that be one of the sides they have closed?

I agree. The sometimes gentle clapping from the Mold Road and Yale stands must put the fear right up them.

But it's always been like that. Why does everyone have an issue with no noise from the stands?
When the kop was open that was pretty much where all the noise came from

The constant murmur of grumbling from the Mold Road stand has a deeply unsettling effect.
