East stand lights/ torches ??

[Deleted member 22389]

Everything is sad, if you sing it is sad, if you have flags it is sad, don't dare bring the clackers, then when the stadium ends up like a library people moan about the atmosphere and call people plastics for not singing, you can't win anymore.

What's wrong with it? If people are having a good time at the football then it's not embarrassing it is exactly what it is meant for.

I think it's more embarrassing that you allow it to embarrass you (I realise that this now makes me an embarrassment for allowing the embarrassment of of something I find unembarrassing to embarrass me)

Absolutely. Once something new comes along, like a new chant, and then last night, there is always someone to say it is embarrassing. If this is what fans want, and it was indeed quite novel (though presumably copied from Sheff wed fans at their play-off home leg) adding to the atmosphere in the process, then that is surely to the good. I hadn't seen North Stand Chat for a couple of days, and thought that it might have been organised then, rather like applauding if someone has passed away, but it just seems to have been instinctive -shame that Rotherham fans only had one phone; the industrial heartlands are clearly suffering!

Not miserable, just don't understand why we do nothing original. We are copying exactly what Sheffield Wednesday were doing last season

Well come on then some original ideas please.

Just try having fun and don't worry who did what before us, because somebody did it before them too, and before them, it's what happens

 

[Pretty pink fairy]

Maybe that's ACTUALLY happened?

Should we get the OB to knock on his door, check he's alright?

It started in the SW corner.

That's correct. It began as a few people trying to put off the Rotherham player taking the free kick outside the area and seemed to spread from there to other parts of the ground.

From my vantage point in the east it looked like "a west stand thing" but in the west I guess it must have looked like "an east stand thing".

I thought it was quite an enjoyable moment in a game that was frankly already won, with very little tension and increasingly less happening on the field as the players saw out the victory in a calm and assured manner.

I'll tell my daughter not to do it again, though, in case she embarrasses anyone.

Just so we can be clear about this - you were so dismayed at some kids enjoying themselves, messing about with their phones, rather than watching the match, that you whipped out your own phone to take some photographs, so you could post them on the internet the next day?

Hate to see the young lads in east that started it lose out on the credit. Trust me, it was them that started almost on kick off, it took ages for even one person anywhere else to copy. They were giggling non stop and could hardly contain themselves when the first phone lit up in response. They were absolutely thrilled when everyone began and it spread. The 'credit' is all there's for certain.

A close encounter of the blurred kind, no less.

Oh thank GOD, we were worried for a few hours there

Ok. Next game lets sing you'll never walk along and hold flags up while we sing it. Then the next game lets all dress in black and sing Ultras songs, complete with tinfoil display. Then the game after... Etc etc

Now that IS embarrassing. I'm certainly cringing.

 

[Curious Orange]

Nothing wrong with people making their own entertainment, it was spontaneous and a at a dull point in the game, so what is the problem?

(and no, I didn't join in)

 

[Fignon's Ponytail]

I thought it looked good....and my kids had fun joining in. No problem at all with it.

Or lightsabers?

 

[GOM]

Thought it could be quite offputting to the players though.

Well they don't seem to be put off by the flashing advertising hoardings at pitch level, I don't think some phone lights high in the stands will bother them

 

[fleet]

It was a nice addition.

On a different subject - Ring of Fire (as last night) - or The Great Escape (as Forest) - for kick off music?
