As opposed to the 1500 spread about 2 stands at the LSV??
Maybe the North standers - especially if you are stood in among, or near, 'the choir' - get more of a sense of an atmosphere.....and, I suppose, having a roof on makes the accoustics different. So 500 in the North stand can make a noise louder than 2000 in the Chaddy end - 'cos that noise will resonate off the two empty stands as well - unlike HP were the noise didn't have much to bounce off....apart from the roof of the TS stand!!
I still think we can't compare the two until we see that full house (or at least a crowd big enough to open all four stands) in a game that really matters (and, no - I don't mean a one-sided England fixture!!).
If we can get past 'fax next weekend, and get the right home draw in the quarters - Saints, Wire, or the one everyone prays for.........Fev!!

- then we might see it this season. Or, who knows - maybe 'fax will sell 2,000 tickets, and we'll get a flavour of it sooner!!
