Forbury Lion Platypuss As a Dolan ender, the change has been marked.
Never used to hear a peep out of the East Stand (probs acoustics), but now there is some decent atmosphere being gener8d in the South it's even encouraging noise at the other end.
I think part of that is acoustics, I sit in the Lower West near the away end/opposite the Y24 area of the East Stand.
I wouldn't say the noise is louder, but the East Stand is quieter now - probably because a number of them have moved to the South Stand/Club 1871 area..... same noise, just redistributed around the ground.
Having sat/stood in both sections the noise in the South is considerably louder on a game to game basis. I suspect you may be thinking back to the odd game when Y25/26 was at its best, which sadly doesn’t happen often enough anymore, whereas the South is more consistent in that respect.
