There aren’t many league one teams with terraces for away fans and the ones that do have them tend to be the smaller grounds so only a few rows deep. The biggest terrace anywhere in the football league is the big bank at Exeter City which holds 3,900, but that’s only for home fans.

And well behaved neutrals. 😊

Stood on there a few seasons ago for Exeter v Swindon - great experience and it didn't feel too crowded.

I presume there are stricter number limits on those terraces that remain than there used to be. No paying on the gate until you can't get any more in!

We would be deluding ourselves if we thought this was not a week league this season . Christie said on radio Derby this week that - The Warne Outers are just hiding in the bushes for now . Paul will know he cannot have a bad start , if we are in the Champioship next season , so he would want to start a massive re-build as soon as the season ends . A striker that can stay fit in score in that league is a priority.

I've hear it's sometimes twice and even three times a week!

I always made sure I was standing in front of one the barriers to avoid getting crushed (obviously not to the same degree as those poor individuals at Hillsborough but still uncomfortable) if/when Derby scored.

The only way I could see traditional terracing ever working and being acceptable again is if the terrace was divided into relatively small pens and the people entering each pen is strictly controlled based on the ticket you've purchased. I'm not sure how easy that would be to implement.

 

So did I but I have still been swept away on several occasions. The worst was when I got sucked right under by the surge when we scored against Man United. I was battered and bruised for weeks.

Safe standing is basically people standing in an allocated seat, in my opinion it doesn’t address the issue. Terracing is not unsafe , done properly. 

You never been injured on the Popside? It was a bloody nightmare at times! 

Just realised that half-hidden bit says Music, not mushy (peas). In that case, I'm going for @Inverurie Ram.

The fan going south down the M1 has to be you, surely, @David?

When do match threads get posted for a Saturday game? Tonight seems a bit early but given our collective excitement right now I could try and cobble (no pun intended) one together for Northampton late this evening if required. 

Unless there's a rule I don't know about, I'd say go for it. 

I'm buzzing already! 

(Got to be better than reading more of this twaddle!)

South end of the East stand next to the away fans, arguing with someone and then took a swing at them. 
I was looking round at the commotion and then realised we were 20 seconds into the tribute.

And people wonder why they are reluctant to open those seats up again!

It was such a shame that the applause was compromised by a bone-headed home “fan” kicking off and getting thrown our of the ground. The applause still won, though. RIP Angie

Wasn't noticed elsewhere. Where do you sit?

Ah, yes, he was born in 2001 and it's 2002 births onwards only.

They must have some good centrebacks if he can't get in the adult team, the form he's in.

I tend not to go in the Jim Smith room, but there's a guy in there who's bitcoin king. Is it Notts Ram?

MOTM in their win yesterday.

But they still have to play Stevenage, Blackpool, Barnsley and Portsmouth away from home. Their PPG away from home is 2.17.  They’ll do extremely well to maintain that let alone lift to 2.4.

Well, Barnsley are pretty much guaranteed to win one of those!

1Wildsmith 7.5 Several decent saves including a point blank worldy. Welcome back Joe, that was an excellent afternoon's work

35Nelson 7.0 - Stood firm yet again. I love this fella, he just gets on with it doing his job and doing it well. Got a nose bleed when missing with a point blank header but he gets a pass from me on that. Top player.

5Bradley 6.5 - Did ok and manfully so given he's not been right in over a week. Feel better soon Sonny.

2Wilson - I've felt a bit for Kane as he was doing so well prior to the move to a back 3 and I think his form suffered for that and his confidence with it. Got the match winner today though and gets an extrra point for that critical intervention. Great stuff Kano!

6Cashin 7.0 - I thought he wasn't his usual rock solid self today, but Cash's ok is still pretty damn good.

23Ward 7.0 - Folk are so quick to jump on this lad but he's been the principle threat in two critical games now since his return to the fold and he's alright with me.

27Blackett-Taylor 6.5 - Confession; I somehow didn't notice him come on, though I was struggling to watch the last 10 mins. Gets a 6 plus a 0.5 win bonus.

32Adams 8.0 - Mate, can you just stop it. I make this your 4th MOTM since arriving from yours truly and it's getting embarrassing now. Another herculean shift and it feels like he's been here years already. Our best signing in years, bar none. Get him contracted please Mr Clowes!

4Hourihane 7.0 - Was actually ok today but without Gayle as our target / hold-up man, he looked overrun in a busy midfield.

 12Smith 7.0 - I like Korey and his calmness. I'd start him next game.

17Sibley 6.5 - Quiet after a string of good outings. Continues to work hard though and gets plaudits for that.

7Barkhuizen 7.5 - Apparently took a knock, hence what I felt at the time to be an odd hooking. Another strong showing from a player in top form.

25Gayle 8.0 - Looked good again and we struggled when he went off injured. Come back sonn please Dwight. We need you! 

10Waghorn 6.5 - Solid enough without looking really on it. We need Wags to find form and quickly now though with Gayle out for a number of weeks.

11Méndez-Laing 7.0 - Good again. One moment of madness as frustration crept in, but a really solid game all the same.

3Forsyth 7.0 - So glad to have him back! When lesser minds faltered, he remained calmness personified. This was a quality showing from Mr Derby himself.

WarneWatch - Bit of a mixed bag, gaffer, but you seem to be negotiating the bumps in the road with aplomb and for that you have my sincere thanks and admiration. Well done! 

This is the Reading ratings thread! You been celebrating a bit too much? 😂

Rams 2 - 1 Bolton
