Capacity is 38000 that's why it looks empty

Prokofiev's Dance of the Knights.

That's the one. Play off was a night match. I'm sure they dimmed the lights as they played it. Creatrd one hell of an intimidating atmosphere.

Ironically the first time we played them up there in 97/98 (i think) I remember how loud they were!

I have read somewhere before that they regard that game as best atmosphere they have been for any game!
And it was loud too!

Was sat very quietly in the home end opposite side and I could hear our lot much better than any of them talking around me

Wasn't it Prokofiev's Montagues and Capulets? The Smiths used to come on to it back in the day.

From memory, Sunderland played this and then went into the Republica track that SwissBlade mentioned.

yep, it is that music and yes the Smiths used to come on stage to it. Great, dramatic music!

My favourite musical build up to a game. Proper hairs on the back of your neck stuff when it fires up especially as the sound at the stadium is so good.

So you are seriously telling me only 8-9k were not in attendance? Maybe they disguise themselves a red seats?

It holds 49k.

That's the one. Do you remember Nino, one of the waiting staff there?

I'll be honest I could barely string a sentence together by the time I used to rock up so never knew anyone who worked their. My house mate won a tele though. I believe it's long since closed.

It is closed. It's high value rented apartments now.
