Yesterday provided an ear-opening insight into the 'away' fans perspective of a game at the Stadium
I always thought, as a Foundation Season Ticket Holder in the Fever Zone, that the YF made a huge noise that was heard all round the ground.
I watched the first game in my usual place in the YF Zone, in black and white, enjoying and participating in the Hammers baiting, thinking that both sets of fans made a great noise
Second game I was in the Toon Zone and thought we made a great noise.
However, from the away end, nothing could be heard from the home end, apart from one version of 'Oh Wellington' after about ten minutes
My mates confirmed that the chanting from the Toon Army could not be heard in the Fever Zone
I am now a confirmed supporter of a re-configured stadium to make it a better place to watch and participate in a game of football
