ghostofcecere Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 I hope the bloke on here who always said he couldn't hear the Chaddy from the halfway line in the Main Stand has had the wax removed from his left ear. The Chaddy has been heard clearly in the RRE this season, even on occasions with few away supporters.That would be me, and I still maintain the Chaddy was always quiet in comparison to the RRE with far fewer fans in. But I will hold my hands up and say it was nowt to do with acoustics, it would seem the Chaddy was full of miserable bastards who didn't sing.

Can't believe I'm biting to be fair, but, if there's 2,000 singing in The Chaddy and 2,000 singing in The RRE, The RRE is louder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryBosch Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 I never thought I'd say this but it did feel good being sat in a proper, modern stand. It was weird how, after looking at it for so many months, it felt and looked so much more impressive when actually in it. It's much steeper than it looks from the other stands and the roof is somehow a thing of beauty - and that's from someone who normally gives very little of a :censored: about such nonsense I'm particularly looking forward to the first night match with lights on. Once the 1895 bar is done I reckon it will all feel quite "showbiz" like professional sport should... The excellent view added to the stand being comfortable before the match, during it & at half time should bring a few more in without doubt....

owdumer Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 As someone who needs decent legroom,I have to say that the North stand has the best legroom in the stadium. That allied to a cushioned seat for the 100 club makes it the nicest matchday seat I personally have ever had.Pity it's not been available all season as I have suffered somewhat at times this season in the main stand. Still onward and upward,especially when the bar opens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been concerned about the roof and whether it will offer protection from the weather but after seeing it up close I think it will keep most of the rain off. I'm sat on the back row so apart from the stuff that comes horizontally at you in Oldham I think it will be fine. Hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeylandLatic Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 We kept telling you that. There are many Chaddy Enders/"miserable bastards" who are convinced that the myth about the acoustics has cost them their spiritual home. Isn't it obvious there were a lot who didn't sing in the Chaddy? I sit down the chaddy end of the main stand and I hear the RRE no problem in our home games yet it was routinely mentioned that nobody in the ground could hear the Chaddy when we had that stand, I didn't hear Scunthorpe last week. It is a case of numbers, but the acoustics issue exists. Acoustics are a thing, deal with it. Bloody acoustics deniers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's now been proved conclusively to ex-Chaddy Enders' own ears that there is no problem in the RRE and the Main Stand in hearing even a few fans in the Chaddy.

AnthonyOAFC Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 The acoustics has nothing to do with it. There wasn't many people singing at all, when we were in the Chaddy. The occasional "Come On Oldham" but nothing more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveoafc Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 There were 2000 blades in the CRE yesterday, but I didn't think they made as much noise as they normally do. Acoustics or just coincidence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diego_Sideburns Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Diego, acoustics are a thing, they exist. Of course acoustics exist. There is a problem with the acoustics when the PA system is in use. We were repeatedly told by that there was a problem with the acoustics in the Chaddy caused by the shape of the roof. What has been proved this season is that there is no problem hearing the Chaddy End in the rest of the ground, no matter how few fans make the noise. ghostofcecere, who often criticised the acoustics in the Chaddy, has now held his hands up and said it was nowt to do with acoustics, so we don't need to hear any more about it.

The acoustics in the Chaddy are worse than the RRE. Nobody is saying no sound at all can be heard from the Chaddy regardless of the numbers of fans who are singing. As far as I'm aware nobody has ever said this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now he admits it was nothing to do with acoustics after all, and now the point has been made you won't hear another peep out of me on the subject.

blueatheart Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 I clearly heard the few fleetwood fans in there and I think that's the smallest away attendance of the season. I've lost my seat because of a myth. BUT The legroom in the new stand is best by far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostofcecere Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I think the move was more to do with it being a more modern stand with unobstructed views than a debate around acoustics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laticsbiffo Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 :censored:ing acoustics... its a bloody football game I think the difference between Latics fans in the Chaddy and the away fans is where the fans are mainly congregated. The away fans are being stewarded on to bottom tier; whereas Latics fans mainly (not all I grant you) filled the upper tier first. The sound from the upper tier hits the downward slope of the roof and doesn't project outwards onto the pitch; however the bottom tier has no such obstruction. Thus we hear the away fans more than we heard the home fans from the Chaddy. Well it's a theory!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyOAFC Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Just happy we have a four sided stadium now really. Was there only 3,600 of us on Saturday? Quite poor that but not surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
