Frustrating that we do not have a similar group at WHU fighting to save our atmosphere tbh.
I think City have realised fans are the 12th man sometimes and have welcomed ideas to improve the atmosphere. The 1894 group aren't everyone's cup of tea but they've liaised with the club and understand compromise.

Also, away attendances are reducing so it's fair enough to move some of them up to the third tier. They'll be higher but narrower and presumably sell tier by tier to ensure an unsold tier can be handed back to home fans.

Has anyone heard which ends we'll likely be shooting towards in 1st / 2nd halves at the OS or will we simply have to wait until the first match? I currently sit in the BML and like having us shoot towards me in the 2nd half
By the sound of it one end behind the goal will be away fans, so I would expect the team to follow convention and try to attack the goal the other end in the second half.

I purchased my seat on Friday. I'll be in row 29 of the lower tier in the 1966 seats.

South Stand Corner, rough guesstimate where the away are meant to be going
