I have been to lots of grounds where one end has been split 50/50 with fans of both teams in there, with a small segregation area of course.Why couldn’t we do the same if there was enough demand for tickets.

What's our highest league 2 home attendance?

We've all gone soft concerning ourselves about trivial things that the club can deal with. Thank goodness we're not at Belle Vue where you were lucky to find a bucket to p*ss in. Appreciate what we have, rather than what we don't. The match day experience at the Eco is tons better than days of old. If the catering copes reasonably well then that's a cherry on top, but let's not lose sight of the main event on the pitch and do our jobs as supporters to help the boys get over the line. Relatively speaking, the profit from catering is small by comparison to the extra tickets sold. It's not about a who cares attitude, it's about perspective.
I have bought into the 100 idea in favour of my old Primary school at Dunsville .It does not need to be restricted to businesses .

Respectfully I couldn't disagree more with this. I think its a complacent attitude and presupposes that what is important to you when coming to a game is important to everyone else. The fact is that first impressions and appearances do matter. Added to that, the suggestions that Mike is making are very easy to do.
Baz, I absolutely appreciate the massive step-on in terms of general "match day experience" but to a first-time attendee who is used to clean and functioning toilets it's irrelevant how bad the facilities were at Belle Vue. There are simple and very cheap fixes that can be put in place to make the experience better for everyone. Are they the be all and end all? Absolutely not. The performance and result on the pitch are by far the most important things but to dismiss the peripheral components of the experience does the customers (and I use that word rather than "fans" or "supporters" who will turn up through thick and thin) a disservice.
So at this moment in time, the East stand is far fuller than the West with just 140 seats left compared to 703 still available on the West and 104 left on the South.
The atmosphere will be electric and I only wish I could be there. Won't get back from Lake Buena Vista, Orlando until Monday. I have faith we will win 14 in a row by the end of the playoffs.
Block E3 has just been opened up (260 seats) so East stand has now 314 available. Block W30 (253 left)has been opened since I bought my tickets. I didn’t realise this is how it would work so I’ve got my 4 tickets quite low down, when if I had known to wait I could have got better ones higher up.Ah well at least we will be there
