Everyone should go in the seating then we might be able to make an atmosphere? I know a couple seasons ago they only gave us seats and we made a decent atmosphere that time so could be an idea?

I went in the seats season before last Alex when we lost 2-1 thanks to Hamza Bencherif. There was ZERO atmosphere on that day and i remember during a lull in the game i actually nearly nodded off gaziing into the hills i could see in the background. I prefer the terrace and its only 12 quid so i'll be going there.

We sang a bit though from memory it was abit all over the place. I'd say the seating but I'm not sure if that stand is the family stand at Macc aswell? I prefer terrace aswell but weve a better chance of making an atmosphere in the seating than we have in the terracing! I'm not fussed I'll go where everyone else wants to go.

Because the terrace has no roof so its impossible to create an atmosphere in a stand with no Roof!

I'd be happy with 4 points out of 6 from our next two games. I think Macc will have one eye on the Bolton tie so I think we'll nick it 2-1. Then a draw against Morecambe will do nicely for me.

I'd be extremely happy with 4 from 2 games, i'd be fairly happy with 3 and not too disappointed with 2. Many think our trip to Morecambe will be tougher than at Macc but i'm not so sure. Macc can be stubborn opponents. With regards the seating or terrace debate, yes more noise can be generated in stands that have roofs and if Macc (like many clubs in this division) only gave us a small section of seating and closed the away terrace then we'd all be forced to pay one price and go in the seats. As it is i prefer to stand wherever i go, it's cheaper and as Macc have given us the option i'm going to take it. We can still make some noise lads! I did find though last season that a large number of the singers were stood way over to the left of the terrace and nowhere near the traditional vantage point of smack bang behind the goal. Thought it a bit weird at the time as i was right at the back near the centre nd had an amazing view.

If the option of standing is available, 9 times out of 10 I would choose the terrace. I think the only exemption this season was at Brizzy Rovers because with a big away following, we were confident and did create a better atmosphere in their tent end then if we were in their open terrace.

If it doesn't rain, then go terrace chaps!

think we should all go terrace, if we need a lift then the players should be able to see us in numbers and not a few here or there, think we should all go in the same place, also, anybody fancy a pint before the game?, i'll be in Macc at about 10 pas 1 as i'm travelling from Leeds.

Seems a fair few are going, uncovered terrace or not i'm sure they'll make a noise.
