East stand lights/ torches ??

[Westdene Wonder]

Could have understood it if it was a boring match,but last nights game was far from that

It started in the SW corner.

Spot on it started in SW corner when Rotherham were about to take a free kick on the edge of the box ( to distract the taker perhaps? )

No harm was done - chill ! If this is the worst thing that happens this season then all good !

 

[Greg Bobkin]

I thought it was hilarious and not in any way 'cringe'. I'd rather people shine their phone torch, rather than be sat reading social media. The number of people around me who had their heads down looking at their screens for large chunks if the game was amazing.

It was a bit of fun, as were the chants. I still don't get why people in the North Stand feel the need to applaud the other stands though - makes me chuckle every time. As does 'rattle man' - also in the North.

Ahem, I think we did have it at the Goldstone but those were olden days without mobiles.

Back then it was smokers lighting up and I remember, as a kid in the West Stand enclosure, seeing all the matches lighting up on the massive east terrace.

Ah yes, that is back in the good old days when smoking wasn't bad for you...

They were always setting fire to bits of paper, including one match in 1979 0-0 with west Brom, the ****ing thing was still hanging out my pocket at the time.

Anyway let's not go giving "credit" away even for things that are shit. Sheffield Wednesday didn't start anything, for example, all the young uns were doing it at the England U21 s Amex match last November, it certainly wasn't invented that night either.

Along with half and half scarves, this goes into the bin marked "why do people care?". Looked alright, amused the crowd, got some good chants.

Won't be a regular thing anyway. These reactions always reminds me of old people moaning about young people things. Back in my day etc...

Maybe they're trying to inspire said other stands to make some noise more than once a game outside of scoring

Oh dear oh dear, who thought is was a good idea to start this again at 0-0 thankfully it didn't catch on this time

Looked like it started in the west.

 

[ChickenBaltiPie]

It's the kiddies in the kiddies corner that like it. No harm in it.

 

[Turkey]

Don't mind it if winning but not when we need a goal. It provoked "Sing up, put your phones away" though which sparked the north stand into life after it had gone a bit quiet so that was good!

I was just using the existing thread

What's the problem with it? Are there LAWS about what people should and shouldn't do at a football match?

I noticed that the directive to "Sing up, put your phones away" (which seemed to assume that people can't do both at the same time) came from the North Stand where, er, fans were already shining their phone torches

It should only be allowed when we are three nil up in the 89th minute up at the massive next month

Yeah, I know. I was just making a tongue in cheek comment, but not directed at you!

The song was directed at anyone on their phone, not just people in other stands...

"Sing up, put your phones away" was the second best chant of the night.

"It's all your fault" being the best chant of the night.

Must admit I thought the best was when Murray was warming up, what ever he was doing followed by "if you hate palace" ie when he was stretching his legs it was "stretch your legs if you hate palace"
