I was in the upper tier and it seemed there were a fair few there, with more in the lower. 377 seems low- though I only saw the lower end from the back as I walked in, they were making a fair bit of noise. As Bonnyman says, pity the players didn't respond.
I was quite impressed by the noise generated by the Bees fans, given that they're supporting a club from a place whose claim to fame is that it gave Rat Scabies to the world.

Yeah there looked more than 377 there. Not a bad turnout though when you consider its right in the middle of london. Shame about the view on the terracing lmao there was a pillar in the way

It is only like suggesting Sheffield Club's ground is in the centre of Chesterfield...

72+ points Play off's

That's exactly what I was thinking.
Do you think that we sound like that to away fans on Cross Street? I'm not sure we do. I think the fact that noise was coming from 2 sides of the ground at most periods and 3 at the most exciting junctures helped Brentford.
Town fans did OK but the fact they were split over two tiers probably meant the volume was not as loud as it could be

We're probably not too bad on the noise front at home whilst we still have a Kop to stand on, but at any gorund I think it's often about the acoustics of the stands. The 'RefreshingSolutions Stand' may have the poorest name in the country but it seemed to keep the noise in well.
I really hope that whoever designs our (notional) new stadium takes acoustics into account, but fear this will be considered an expensive luxury and a corner to cut.

We sang for most of the game on the terracing, I dunno if anyone else was signing in the seating area ?
