I suppose there's no easy answer because I guess many fans appreciate their efforts and don't want to be killjoys but equally don't want a booming drum in their ears at close quarters for 90 minutes.
I'm in block D and I like them being in block F - close enough to hear them, not too close to deafen me.

If you are in Block D - I am - it's brilliant! Creating a great atmosphere & not too deafening! Keep it up guys!

What's the club's stance on smoke flares? Cover the whole stand in black and orange colours as the teams come out to sweet child of mine.

Absolute non starter unless fans want to risk a banning order or prison sentence.

Item which the Amber Battalion, and others, might find interesting:

Although it's unlikely there will standing in the South stand it's great to know that there is already a good cohort ready to go and make some noise from behind the goal.

This seems to suggest that there willlbe standing at the back of the South Stand and it will be allowed but without the stand being designed for the purpose.

Come back to block C...gets everyone going

Yeah, and while that’s the case the standing will only continue until a club safety officer/police officer/the local Safety Advisory Group (council, police etc…) decides that because the seating area is not designed for large numbers of people to stand it is dangerous at times, such as when goals are celebrated. They will insist the club will have to keep the fans seated, and everyone will be pissed off and/or stop coming.

Greatly appreciated where ever you stand my friends, may it long continue.

Another from Block D here - and think you guys do a fantastic job in Block F.

Is it possible to segregate the away stand? If it was to go down to the wire in terms of the playoff push, it would be vital to have supporters behind the goal with there being no south stand

God bless the Amber Battalion. Shame the moaners got you moved to the side, though it does allow for some amusing exchanges with the away fans.

Other than wrexham just give away fans the old away seats in West stand & use of the old jubilee Bar and give over north stand to home fans.

Great idea! I guess that it will never happen though!

Would be good to do when there’s a smaller away following until the South Stand is ready
