    From Bay 55 in the west. The Squadron looked much better. Weirdly though, it was harder to hear you. Not sure whats going on there. Even the drums were very muffled.

    All that aside, I think it is a better option than Bay 2.

    No, it was similar conditions to other games of late.

    Would be really interested to hear if you were louder in the eastern side than usual.

    Maybe it's the four bays of people between 55 and 60 rather than clear air?

    New bay is da bestest. Lets make it permanent.

    RE noise, only other consideration is that there's no grandstand backing bay 60.
    From inside of bay 60 though there was no question we were loud, probably up there with the loudest we've been all season.

    It must be said that the acoustics for the stadium in general are quite terrible, so it shouldn't really come as a surprise. I'm sure the RBB were quite loud at times, but I struggled to hear them at all during the game.

    Bay 60 must be made permanent.

    Solid performance from all. The way the bay is laid out works well as all of us are in closer together, wasn't as spread out as usual. Within bay 60 it sounded like the loudest we have been. View of the match and whole stadium is better imo. Was a nice fresh change tonight and it payed off! Looking forward to more of it.

    Didn't hear you where we were in the corner. Not once

    Gates to bay 1/2 locked. Lolz at the fella who went and sat in the middle of bay 2 near the end of the game and got removed by seccos.

    Normally sit on the concourse at the northern end ( family hill ) but made the effort to get in early and sit at the southern end right next to the Squadron. Last night was one of the more enjoyable times the family and i have had ( bar Ben Williams cheating for his employers to get a result for his employers team ). I noticed two small girls at the front of i think was bay 59 all of 11-12 years old who were rock'n it all night to the squadron. Pretty sure they had a great time and lov'n every minute of it.

    Good work.

    last night may have been good but that does not mean we should make it permanent. keen to try it a few more times.

    felt a bit like an away game, small bay, everyone crammed in together.

    old mate in the green singlet giving it the big one.

    Up the top in the Western Stand could actually hear you. Only a couple of times did the RBB drown you out.

    Did notice a few in the bay around us getting involved at times which is a positive coz they usually do little.

    On another note how was the effects of the sun down there??? Much better than Bay 2???

    So much better in 60, felt packed with what was probably only a few hundred....and room to grow.
    Better view of field
    Closer to players pregame, halftime, bench, warming up etc
    Closer to hill (no bay1' terrace, Ambo schute)
    If very game is like last night then it's a no brainer...

    Need a few more games to see if it was all just novelty, but first up effort was fun again.

    On field mongrel helped too.

    I recommend senior squadron members check out how well u can hear it in other parts of the stadium next game as it is a point some people raised and I reckon its a major thing to find out before making move permanent

    Western grandstand drowns out the RBB and the Squadron when we get fired up. Don't need people telling us when to shout
