Home Match Supporter and Atmosphere

[Pie since 89 𝕏 @chogger5]

The last two home matches I’ve been impressed with the noise produced by both the Aldershot and Wealdstone supporters in fact I think the Wealdstone support spurred them onto their second goal. Whereas I’ve felt we seem a bit quiet, subdued and sometimes disjointed. Do we need to look at getting some home support in the Sirrel as last season when we had supporters in all stands the atmosphere was electric (that could of been due to being the first games back after so long away). Failing that do we need to look to move the away supporters towards the Kop end if we can to try and bounce off each other?

Any other ideas for improving the atmosphere? For reference I sit in the family stand though so the noise from the away end will seem greater but in days gone past the kop used to drown that out.

On previous occasions when the Sirrel has been allowed to host home fans, as well as away fans - I think the atmosphere has been excellent.

It felt like a much more important game to me, as it has a festival/playoff type vibe, where the optimism and chants just bounces around Meadow Lane.

It would also allow the Kop to breathe, as it feels a lot fuller to me - I don't know if fans are slightly spread out more or if the Kops attracting more fans. Yet during the Torquay and Aldershot games, I felt very cramped - this is mostly likely just my own perspective but when it feels a lot busier, I don't really like it. So, I would welcome any views on ways of filling out the ground a lot more evenly.

Not just because of how busy it can be, but to create that buzz we have when more areas than just the Kop chants.

The Pavis stand this season has been very disappointing so far, I am sure there are portions of people chanting and joining in - but I can honestly say I haven't heard as many groans as I normally would and most certainly I haven't heard any singing myself.

The Kop has been impressive, especially at times, but I think if we're trying to create that winning mentality driven by the home support, well there's some food for thought here.

I have also heard that the players enjoy it when the stands are filled out more, with support in the Sirrel stand.

Personally, if I was Notts - I'd be trying to break into the Caribbean, Polish, Asian etc communities and perhaps try to speak to season ticket holders that haven't renewed for a few seasons just to learn why and how we can attract more to return.
