A big pat on the back for the club, officials and staff, the organization was excellent, although some of the info on the os wasn't quite up to scratch, programmes were on sale and the photo ID wasn't needed, but all in all everyone did a brilliant job.
Onto the fans ..... An A1 for everyone there, the atmosphere was amazing and despite a first minute pen caused by an awful loose ball, not once did anyone get on the teams backs, but just supported throughout, a massive well done.

Didn't hear any myself, but Steve Madeley and John Cross both stated on twitter that there was some booing when the teams were 'taking the knee'.
Any that were there please dispel these allegations as on TV it was not evident at all.

Very enjoyable (up to the second Ammers goal !) to be back at the old place again.
So much better watching a game live compared to the sanitised experience of tv we have had to endure for 15 months or do.
Watching it lives you could see the class of Matheus Pereira - you could see how he glides along with the ball and the vision he's got along with the incredible tenacity and work rate/impact of Gallagher (superb last night). None of that has come across fully on tv.
Not sure how easy last night's experience could scale up to much more than the 5/6 k with large queues and distancing though.
Greta to be back home though ! Crowd excellent with positivity throughout in all three stands - much more atmosphere than usual games with a full crowd.
