Atmosphere last night...

[KneeOn]

Top notch for a cold home game with less than Five thousand...

I think it might have somthing to do with the fact we played well despite not scoring.

Two Questions:
What was your take of teh atmosphere? C Block was quite lively imo, definately in the second half!

On the train home, aparantly because we didn't score we played badly...

Now, our non league stricker had his first start and looked great, and we dominated the team that thrashed us 7-1 last time around, and if Forster or Murray had started, we would have won (i think) 2/3 - 0.

Surely i'm not alone in these points?

Or am I?

Was in C Block and I agree, atmosphere was good, actually stayed standing for a few moments along with a few others.

I think the fact we actually look SOLID at home now and have only conceded 1 in 3 games is helping.

 

[Notters]

It was OK at times I supposed. One thing I noticed, though, was that people were hardly clapping anything. Or did it just sound that way because they were all wearing gloves?

It was very quiet.... enjoyable game though, for a 0-0 draw.

I thought the effort was there, and yes, C Block was quite lively in comparison to previous games (we sit opposite). We really could do with some sort of atmospheric injection, Ultras, Megaphones, drums, something (the clappers were quite good)

According to a CJTC behind me we were 100% terrible, across the pitch, in every position and every player, so your experience is not necesarily in isolation.

Thought Holroyd had a great game, seems to think about what he is doing, and has a bit of skill too, I think he needs to get a goal very soon though, otherwise his confidence may well get dented (like Davies and, a bit further back, Murray).

Most were wearing gloves around me. Took mine off for the game though

 

[Hungry Joe]

Atmosphere in C Block was better than usual, esp in the 2nd half. Noticed there were a lot more 'lads' sitting round me than is usual which helped.

Very impressed with Holroyd and Murray was a complete mentalist when he came on. Promising stuff.

 

[Djmiles]

Was anyone else in shock when they heard the North stand not once, but twice? I think it must be a record.

 

[7:18]

thought the atmosphere was brilliant, this is the sort of support the team finally need!

 

[Husty]

i was walking past E block as the half time whistle went and literally all I heard was a faint sigh, not applause or anything else, just a faint sigh, and then everyone got up from their seats, one retard was booing loudly

There's some proper retards near the top in E block...

 

[Tomnorthi]

I was at the top of block E, we got some chants going at some points but the majority of block E just wont make any noise, no matter how hard the rest of us try.

It is quite tough over here you know, there are a lot of people complaining about stuff, makes it hard to concentrate on the words to the songs. And if you get too enthusiastic they blow steam off their soup at you

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

It's a bit desperate when two choruses of "AAAAAALBIOOON" and "Seagulls" constitute a "lively atmosphere"

Sounds like it can get pretty crazy! Glad I'm in the safety of H block!

 

[Curious Orange]

C Block always rocks!

 

[willingdon_seagull]

Absolutely agree with the original poster. I sat in G block for the first time this season and the atmosphere to the left (H and J) was fantastic which seemed to wake G up too.

E block are a disgrace, that goes without saying. The amount of miserable so and so's around there do nothing to contriibute the atmosphere at Withdean and create no positive energy to spur the team on.

All in all, I think it was the best (by no means perfect) atmosphere at Withdean for a long time and long may it continue.

Don't forget the "Whooaaah! You're sh#t! Arrggghhh! Arrghhhh!!.... arrghh.... argh"s every time the keeper took a kick second half.

It's childish and peurile, but I just absolutely love that.

The acoustics at Withdean are very strange. I thought it wasn't anything better than the usual library atmosphere. Heard an "Albbiooooon" once in the second half and that was it
