Cheers for a view from an 'outsider'.

Did you sit in the main stand or were you on the terrace?

Having been twice to the Hive, I feel that the atmosphere has been better than the Stoop but that could be because I can easily get a seat in the middle of the main stand where most of the Broncos noise seems to come from. I'd be interested to see a pic of what the stand looks on match day during the game.

Hi there - I was on the terrace - I normally prefer to sit in the stand as you get a better view of the game but thought I'd go old school as you could change ends! The atmosphere did seem better in the stand but it was the whole match day experience I was meaning rather than a few chants.

If Broncos are giving you a pass without ensuring that the Hive are aware of it and have approved it then why should they let you in?

Sounds like something Gus should be dealing with.

If he wasn't far too busy doing whatever else he does as superfluous CEO.

Perhaps the RFL are going to head hunt him.

Papua New Guinea style.

Had a smashing day out at the hive yesterday. Lovely ground. Nice easy walk from the tube station. Went in the main stand as it's higher up than the terracing. Cask beer on in the bars below. Good selection of food although price of pies are a bit steep.

The main stand seemed to me to be about 3/4 full. Maybe about a hundred in the dressing room stand and a couple of hundred on the terracing.

Stuart pearce was there watching be good if you could get him on board in some promo role.

Going to need to start boosting the home support otherwise you will see a few three figure crowds.

Stuart Pearce is a Wire fan, he's been to a few of our games now.

Stuart Pearce started his football career with Wealdstone FC. If Wealdstone fans hear he visited the Hive they'll go mental. Dread to think how they would react to him promoting the place!!

Really? Through what connection? He grew up 15 minutes from The Hive in Kingsbury and started his career at Wealdstone FC. Maybe he is an honorary Bronco now we have moved to his back yard

I think it stems from him being England manager and trying different management techniques, he's been a guest of Tony Smith on several occasions.

Nice, I did not know that. Thank you. Great to see some admirers from other sports/backgrounds like Sir Bradley Wiggins, Ryan Giggs & Russel Crowe.
