Describe your AMEX neighbours

[Blue and White Tiger]

Infront of our group of 3: A group of lads in their 20's. Think they may have been relatively new supporters. Supported the team and stayed until the end. Seemed a good bunch.

To the right: A group of lads 18-25, made a fair bit of noise and got behind the team, again stayed until the end. Think one of them may have had a "sex wee" when Vicente came on!

To the left: The most miserable bloke i've ever met in my life. 60+ and all he did was moan. Mainly about Barnes. He raved and raved about CMS. One particular point in the match made me laugh. CMS gave the ball away and Barnes tracked back 40/50 yards and broke up the play. I think it was Bridge who played a ball down the channel to CMS who lost possesion, only for the bloke to shout and abuse Barnes for not being up in support of the "wonderful" CMS. He was swearing at Barnes "What are you doing back there?" Well actually mate he was getting the ball back after your precious CMS gave it away!
He then left after 81 minutes.

Behind: Nobody

 

[Deanbha]

Was that in the back of the north , sounds just like my neighbours...

 

[Mr-N]

To my left: seems a father son combo about 50 and early 20's, both get involved with songs.

My next door right didn't turn up last night.

Back no one behind me directly, but 2 teenagers chatting about Fifa a lot of the game.

Mixed bunch, but got no qualms at the end of the day.

 

[LukeOwen]

In front: a group of men around 30-40, sung 'allbbbiiionnn' but didn't moan
To the left: 1 person on his own,didn't sing at all (last night and last season) but quick enough to moan.
To the right: almost exactly the same as the left but with his son(surprised he didn't wanna sing)
Behind: different people to last season, very quiet. Hopefully they all find the confidence to sing on Saturday

 

[n1 gull]

Good in front, total OAP nightmare behind - if the old git complains about not 'going long' again I won't be responsible for my actions

 

[Curious Orange]

I like to call the bloke next to me 'Dad'.

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

Moved to ESU. To our left - Ted,a pensioner and Birmingham City Supporter (he lives locally, somewhere along the coast). He couldn't get a ticket for the Birmingham match last season, so his wife bought him a season ticket so he wouldn't miss it this season. To our right a Down's Syndrome lad and a family member. Really enjoyed himself. Behind, a noisy bunch of Paddys. In front a mixed assortment of pensioners. Generally, a real mixture of vociferous and silent types.

Back of ESU

 

[Tory Boy]

Back of the north surrounded by nice fellas.

Like heaven on earth.

[detsknil]

To my left, my dearest. To my right a father & son combo who we have got on well with all last season and seem to have made friends with and are planning to meet up for a beer with them at some point.
In front quieter, older people, plus point for my view is they leave early most games, about the 80 min mark, sigh.
Behind, more quiet fans, haven't really spoken to them much.

 

[LamieRobertson]

got an isle seat...chaps to left seem nice...three in front left 10 mins before game...a few further down row seem to have a bladder problem ...early days

This moany old fella sounds like the bloke who sat next to us last season, we used to take the piss out of him cos he left early every game and must have missed most of our goals! However, it appears he has moved as there was a new chap in his place last night who's name is Solja!! Seems nice enuff!

 

[queens park pete]

generally knowledgeable, good humoured and ready to sing a bit. Very happy. Less moaning than D block at Withers. No one said " Sort it out Mcghee" whenever possession was lost.

Seat but one features a bloke who kept getting his ARSENAL "affinity" card out and putting it back with his kids ALBION season tickets. At least he is being a responsible parent making sure the next gen will support the local boys.

 

[queens park pete]

T.O.N. - new acronym to add to JCL?

 

[ees complicated no?]

Infront = family of 4 who just sit their kids do sing some time
Left = the stairs
right = 2 uni lads who sing alot
behind = loads of single people who sing

so im in a good-ish place.

 

[GreersElbow]

My area was okay, the fellas to my right and left were sound as were the guys behind me. I didn't appreciate the lad behind me constantly go on and on about Barnes being shit - was frustrating.

Unlucky, sounds like you've got Mr Burns with you!

 

[Uwinsc]

Behind group of middle aged men (same as last year) who moan a lot but are quite nice at the same time. Left last night was to older men who were very quiet but seemed nice (not sure if they are permenent as family there last season said they would be back this). Right another new person single (i think) youngish guy who seemed alright: nice to see somebody in that seat as half of last season it was empty.
