    The east stand (that half of it particularly) has always been the main source for atmosphere. Good decision.

    Good move. It hasn’t worked up there although it is the best stand for the displays and the banners. Especially the Natural Order one.

    Hope this has to do with that safe standing survey since 1875 produced

    Certainly seems like good news, fair play to them and the club for managing to sort it out.

    Suspect there may be space in S44 if both club and SS are agreeable to that

    How is it not? The east stand and more so towards the away end has been where the atmosphere is created since i started going.

    That is a shame it never worked out behind the goals in the FFS. But as the Singing Section is in the region of 500 fans - mixing in the East Stand is probably a good move. However Section 45 is in the far corner and a thin section. The away fans will be out of view and vice versa. Maybe Section 42, 43 or 44 would be best?

    Section45? Is that not the very end section about 10 rows wide and totally out of view of the South Stand? Plenty room in there no-one buys STs in that part surely so nobody to upset this time

    You’ll always get a few that has memories longer than the last 20 - 30 years but yer effectively correct and definitely correct when we talk about the present! Which after all is the times we live in now

    Absolutely delighted at this news....ER will be rocking again soon with these guys back in the East. Back where they belong for sure

    They are moving back to the East section 45. Good move by the Club 👍
    Have they consulted the fans who currently sit in the East, or are the seats they are moving to all empty. They never consulted any fans previously in FF upper when LD decided to move them to there.

    Looking at the current ground map, it does seem that there are virtually no season tickets that have been sold there. As for the strange comment about not consulting fans previously, I believe that's the responsibility of the club, not the group itself.

    Looks like a great move, back to the spiritual home of the atmosphere at Easter Road for the past few decades, should be rocking on big nights especially

    Good to see something has been done as the upper tier wasn’t working regarding noise.

    The displays were fantastic though.

    Would be good if the section did a march every game from Albion Road / Easter Road or up St Clair Street.

    Would also be good if the section got to the stadium earlier and started to build an atmosphere.

    The displays can still work in the East Stand as they looked greet before.

    I just hope the club sort the empty FF lower issue as I still feel a decent behind the goals support would help the players.

    Hopefully its temporary until safe standing somewhere is sorted and they can be a bit more front and centred. Moving them from one gable end to another is far from ideal.

    Club still obviously preferring a half empty north bottom tier with 50 quid season tickets over having it full of standing and singing fans.
    (I'll give it 13 seconds for keith_m to reply )


    On another note Aberdeen's red shed is at about 60% capacity currently. Not bad when their season tickets are only about 50% of last season and still have pay at the gate punters to add aswell.

    Hopefully the main ‘leaders’ will be towards the back of the section and then the noise should echo brilliantly off the roof and the end of the stand.

    Personally thought it worked best in the past at the very start of the ‘singing section’ period at the back of section 43. It was only when idiots tagged on and used the crowd and boisterous atmosphere as a cover to chuck smoke bombs etc and the ‘official’ section moved to the front (quite rightly from their point of view as it wasn’t fair that they were getting blamed for the hangers on) that things didn’t work quite as well as it felt there was a split between the two, plus those further back couldn’t hear the songs being started further down.

    Fingers crossed the atmosphere will be bouncing as and when people are allowed to return.
