It's part of the experience for me, as well, and if the place was rocking every week I really believe more people would come back. (Back in the 60s my Blues and Villa mates used to come just for the atmosphere and singing which was nonexistent at their Home grounds).
I probably look very silly singing my head off, and urging others, at my age, but who gives a feck!
Spot on! I seem to go into the East Stand most games I go to these days, and I look over to the Smethwick and smile at them - they seem to have so much fun, and the songs are really funny. When I move back to the Midlands, I will be very tempted to get a ST in the Smethwick just for the crack, even if I have to stand up all game to see the actual match, and I am 62.
It's generally the top half of the Smethwick that stand but you'd still have a good view and atmosphere if you aim for seats in either blocks B1, B2 or B3 in rows starting from V to EE.
The view in the East Stand is great and I'll be there this Saturday, but the atmosphere is definitely the better in the Smethwick.
