As I said above, I think it, in our circumstances, take away from the atmosphere

with the way we are set up. We are loudest where the away fans are closest, and if 'we' lost that in the Barclay (where everyone unsafely stands anyway - my constantly bruised shins will attest to that) means we would risk losing something.

But that's not to say it wouldn't work elsewhere - there are a lot of away stadiums I go to where their most vocal fans aren't closest to the away fans. And they also have stands deep enough to cope with a controlled, segregated area of standing.
