Actually BR, I reckon he has been on this forum, more or less since the start, of the 2 of us, I'm the blow-in, even in one or two of my previous existences. >EW
I have no doubt about his credentials on this forum - it was his history of attendance at Ravenhill I was questioning ;)
Just bluffing, you saw him then. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I hadn't realised the old Prom was so damn small, the new superdooper Prom is too big for them. :shock: :shock: :shock:

maybe the blow in, in question was simply applying his tremendous singing/chanting AWAY form to the otherwise dull and UN-inspirational home game which lacked in atmosphere... and singing, except for the english stylee brass band. >seeya

We may need to put an ad in the Belelaugh for some Gulderers, then again, as I've said before, be careful what you wish for.

While I personally was watching the rugby rathe than monitoring the atmosphere ;) - I didn't think it was too bad. Good noise on opposition line-outs. I think the crowd can take credit for at least one free-kick. Did I hear a redition of "Are you Rory in disguise?" Good noise for some of the prolonged defensive efforts too. It's not Ravenhill, but it's getting there.

Just a hunch, but perhaps the regular poster here is actually a blow in and not that familiar with the way we do things at Ravenhill. ;)
Perhaps next time the blow-in could visit the new reduced prom where the atmosphere was generally excellent and the beer/stout was even better as it was uncontaminated by proximity to those louts on the Terrace. I might even provide him with some beer/stout and someone who can speak his particular lingo to aid translation.

BT the capacity of the Prom prior to redevelopment was approx 3,000 so I think the new improved version will be increased in size as well has having a better rake for the shortarses. AND it sounds like we will have the benefit of additional space for most of this season due the the current limitations imposed byt he H&S folks during the re-building work.

BR having now been onthe New improved rear-loading terrace and the new-prom i'd say you have wider walkways on the terrace side though I think we will eventually have a third egress point through the tunnel at the half way line. Currently we have one narrowish stairway at each end which is a bit of a pain.

I think you are due to have 2 or 4 egress points under the new stand (that's why I thought the walkways may be allowed to be narrower)

That makes sense now that I think about it BR. I can't see us going forwards and through the tunnel So they'd have to be from the back of the prom. I'll look more closely at the back wall at the next match to see if there are gaps there.

Probably similar to the access to Memorial terrace ?

Room for a few louts from the terrace to join you then, when it's finished :lol:

Certainly not - One does have standards old boy, one does have standards ...

... low standards, byt nevertheless, they are standards...

... and don't even consider bringing bedsheets into this!
