[Football] OK North Standers, what was the excuse today?

[robinsonsgrin]

the away fans are supposed to outsing the home support surely? isnt that a rite of passage - to make yourself heard. in the swc, it is weird to hear the lack of cohesion in the chanting.. the sections eventually join up and then the level is cranked up and occasionally imposing. the swc is so transient that it will never lead the chants....the joys of match by match tickets.

The south stand is deadly silent when the Albion are dominating games. Strange that.

The North Stand is deadly silent when we are winning. Strange that!

Enough about the North and South stands already. And never really expect anything much from the East Stand. But how about that massive West Stand?

 

[Bozza]

Maybe they're on strike as they couldn't get the seats they wanted.

While you are at it why not start a thread about the West, East and South.
Stupid thread.

Oh sorry I thought the North Stand was our "home end", apologies. I'll start a new thread called "why don't the grandads in the East Stand get the chanting going?"

To be fair no trains between three bridges and Brighton probably lead to many of the empty seats

Oh dear what a inconvenience .......I managed to get there...

Just as a matter of interest, where do you sit?

Almost silence from all sides yesterday.
Just too cold to bother, or...?

When we're winning, it's great. I'm usually there.

It really isn't. Nor is it often 'deadly silent' when we're not winning

 

[Weststander]

Selhurst (loved by the media for its amazing atmosphere), was pretty dead silent for 44 minutes.

Now noisy.

What was the cause of the change?

I accept your apology.

 

[alfredmizen]

Yawn. I am WSU but what a twattish thread to start.

We had ONE shot on target and that didn't come until the second half...!!

There are only a handful of grounds in the country where the home noise would have been much better under those circumstances. The Amex is good but it's not THAT good...

Its a twattish thread because the OP is a t wat

Probably on the sofa at home, fishing on NSC like the tw*t he is.

Thread started just after MOTD finished..?

Everything was flat yesterday. Performance and atmosphere from the start. As the two go hand in hand it's hardly surprising it wasn't the best atmosphere.

ill put my hands up and admit i didnt go yesterday and that was part of the reason

Nothing wrong with the atmosphere where I stand in N1C, however there were slightly less songs than normal. What was served up to us on the pitch for the first 10 mins or so set the tone until we scored.

 

[Aveacarlin']

I'm in N1D and get lost in the confusion from what's happening on my left and right hand sides. Just a mash.

This. Not pleasant watching a ManC esque team take us apart. Was always going to be the way, unless someone’s not been watching the silly money being spent at Molyneux in the last 2 years.

We need to get the NSK and the Judges crew merged together right behind the goal. Perhaps TB can get us 400 seats by moving loyal supporters who have had tickets there since the Amex opened. Mind you, with the egos at play, chances are we would still be singing different songs at the same time even if we were merged.

On a serious note, we were shocking on Saturday; probably the worst performance since the Amex opened. Difficult to say why. It certainly wasn't helped by the fact that in the first half we looked like a team with 11 concussed players playing away at one of the top four. Conceding so much territory and possession to a newly promoted team and letting them have 25 attempts on goal, with little attacking threat ourselves, was always going to make it nervy and that doesn't help the atmosphere at all.

I hope we will do much better in the home games to come. And hopefully the team will have more about them too.
