If the players turn up this has the potential to be the best atmosphere at BP since the last time we played Wrexham here.


Yep. This is the first home game I'll miss since Gillingham and I'm gutted.

Funny you mention Gillingham as tomorrow marks 15 years since our 3-0 win against them at BP; Barry Conlon and Peter Sweeney’s debuts if memory serves. That was an important game that sticks in the memory for a particularly loud and raucous atmosphere that helped put a fancied side well and truly back in their shell. BP needs to be a really uncomfortable place for Wrexham on Saturday.

To be fair those seats in that corner are some of the best in the ground. Properly covered with mostly unrestricted views; always surprises me when I see seats at the back of the Main Stand going before those.


On a couple of my rare trips home we’ve sat in the corner. Great view of the pitch from that angle in there and probably best atmosphere in BP , especially when a big away following turns up . I’d get a ST in there if they were available and I actually lived in travelling/ arsed to travel distance

Always thought the area where the police box is, would be the perfect place to house the disabled supporters as it’s perfect access right next to the gates. If, obviously unlikely at this stage, the main stand does get replaced/tarted up, then a proper unrestricted (and dry) viewing area needs to be high up the list

Great to know as a non-season ticket holder who's x4 on the back row of the main Saturday : (

I remember before all seating the Osmond corner covered  terracing held circa 4000 and the Pontoon would decamp  there when we were kicking towards the Osmond end. It was always the best area for generating noise

I know we have tried it before in the 80's, but shouldn't the whole of the Osmond end be the "home"end? Better acoustics, joins on to the Main stand to give a solid block of home support and isn't there a covered bar in there?

The Pontoon stands alone so would be perfect for away fans.

I suppose the downside is if away support is not very numerous.

No keepto tradition the pontoon money to build raised by fans for the fans.now what I would do if money was not tight is to extend the pontoon up to the main stand and findus that would give us a cauldron of noise

I’ve always thought that too. Maybe because it’s always been deemed as the ‘home end’ that it hasn’t been done again since. I know people would see it as blasphemy but it makes sense doesn’t it? Easier for segregation too

Just re - name the stands, with a proper tribute to show the input from previous generations? Would anybody really object?

The New Pontoon stand.
