  • Ground reconfiguration for away fans - couple of options being looked at. 1) moving the segregation line in Midland Road presumably to make that section 2,000. 2) Reversing the home and away fans like the Carlisle game
    • This is from the latest supporters board meeting.
    Either of these options gives away fans prime seats on the halfway line doesn’t it?]]>     43     Countdown Thread Thu, 05 Mar 2026 22:08:37 +0000 https://bantamtalk.com/index.php?threads/countdown-thread.10/ https://bantamtalk.com/index.php?threads/countdown-thread.10/ invalid@example.com (Storck) Storck

    The early season euphoria has faded, back when we out-played, out-fought, and out-thought highly fancied opposition.

    Cardiff and Huddersfield were two standout performances during that exciting and completely unexpected start.

    Then teams began to figure us out and set up to frustrate us, like in L2.

    Even as performances dropped and chances dried up, we somehow kept winning to maintain pace with the leading pack.
