Zoo Corner

From a position in the middle of the lower Mayflower, I would say it is great to hear our fans in stereo! Loved it. When one group tailed off, generally the other found their voice.
Great to have two noisy areas at opposite ends as the singing will carry around the ground far more than it used to.
Sitting in the Grandstand could hear both zoo corner and Devonport end. Sounded strange at times both groups singing different songs after so long without that. Got to be honest though may probably be a minority view but think crowd noise when just Devonport End and rest of crowd joined in with them was louder. This was because last night half Lyndhurst joining in with zoo corner other half the Devonport end.
Yep it was impressive - "He's Argyle til he dies" whwn Sarce put wide was inventive 
The Devonport will always be louder but it's great to see the old Zoo Corner back and contributing to making HP a cauldron. Never again should it be closed and never again should the kids section be right next to the away fans.

Purely from a TV angle as it will be December before I can get to HP but I think the Devonport End currently has the best atmosphere it has had for 50 years. Family members who sit in block 3 agree with me. It was great to see it packed last night. There is no doubt though that with Zoo corner back in action the atmosphere will benefit greatly especially for the bigger games when they could possibly outdo the Devonport End. I felt I was in a small minority recently suggesting home fans should move to the BE end where the players' tunnel is but was surprised when those family members agreed. I guess if that happened though Zoo corner enthusiasts would camp in block 5?
I've great memories of sitting in ZC during the Championship days. I have a DE season ticket now but last night it was great to hear it all going off again after so long.
Was great to see the change of tact working so well in its debut outing and what an atmosphere it created. Fair play to both the lads who organised this and the club for making this happen.
The Devonport End has been carrying the flag of creating any sort of atmosphere at Home Park for over a decade. Add Zoo corner back into this mix and hopefully those souless games where you could hear a pin drop will be a thing of the past.
If the atmosphere continues where it left off last night, I can see the popularity of Zoo Corner snowballing to match the Devonport End for popularity, this can only be a benefit for both the team and the club.
Great to hear a few of the old songs being belted out also, was like being back in the Championship at times!

They were excellent, as were several areas of the ground with them all adding to the atmosphere.
If it was possible in the future I'd love to have "Bobby's Garden" developed as the away area, with the away fans coaches dropping and picking them up from there as well. Then we could have our fans behind both goals creating an even more intimidating home atmosphere, I notice several clubs have both goals for home fans.
Cracking night, great performance, stunning atmosphere.

Same here, was great to see it back but once a Devonport-ender, always a Devonport-ender so there i will stay.
