Went there last season and it was pretty much the same experience. Felt the need to watch the highlights this morning to catch all the finer points I couldn't see due to the sheer distance from the pitch!
When they got the atmosphere going it sounded quite loud, but it was about twice in the whole game for about a minute each time.
Makes you appreciate being in a proper football ground that's for sure.
Dead easy walking back to where I had parked in Bow - to be honest once we had gone past Pudding Mill Lane DLR station, there were so few people walking any further as we were, you wouldn't have known there had been a game on - it is almost eerie how the crowd disappeared so quickly - I guess 99% of the crowd all go the same one or two ways away from the place?
