You mean the judge!!!!! I could see him and his mates giving in large at the back of the north!!!!
First time in the North stand yesterday, usually in WSU. I was down near the front and would definitely trade my better view in the WSU to be closer to the pitch, smelling the grass, being part of more chants and being able to stand without getting the evil eye from stewards and everyone around!
It was great, but could still get even better because there seems to be quite a split between east and west side of the northstand, quite a few times new chants were started by both sections and they go on competing with each other for a minute or two until both songs die out instead of all singing the same chants. Have never noticed that from my usual perch because I guess neither ever get loud enough to be heard.

North Stand was quiet (yet again) from where i was sitting,wrong uns,were lot louder than us today,til we scored that is.
Not sure we were out sung mate.
Their one song was loud a few times, but the North kept going all game pretty much.
It was properly loud in North for a lot of the game.
Really? How strange. I thought it was ok.
Then again I do join in with 90% of the songs so is hard to tell sometimes how loud it is when @wayneflete and I are giving it the full beans.
I saw the pompey fans start to sing when the teams came out before they were drowned out by the brighton fans, then in the second half when they had a few attacks they seemed to perk up a bit, but not for long.
I don't think they were even close to 'outsinging us' and certainly weren't 'about even'. We outsung them.

Sat in the north yesterday and thought it was an excellent atmosphere. Contary to this was in WSL on Wednesday and it was dead!
Agreed, I'm slightly closer to the north but the Pompey fans were still much louder.

Are you sat in the North Stand singing also?
Nope. North end of the west stand lower. Not a great deal of singing around me.
I think their one song makes a lot of noise, but so does our Albion Albion when it gets going.
North was good. Lots of variety of songs and as such they may not have quite the volume of that Play up Pompey dirge, but still was a good atmosphere IMO.

All depends where you sit. I'm in WSL near the southstand. Hardly heard anything from North or East and West was very quiet. Only noise came from Pompey. For me one of the quietest games so far this season .

So,your next to the north stand,im on the 18yard line at the wsl towards away fans,and like i say,hardly heard a peep out of the north,need people in the north to get into west upper next season,will sound loads better then.
This is the problem. Quite often the North aren't in synch with themselves, let alone with the rest of the ground. Once this gets sorted, it will be immense.
The holy grail for me would be get the whole of the North singing a verse of GOSBTS at the right pace, with the right words. That would really be fantastic. Even when we've got the music playing, the speed merchants totally ignore it and go off at 100mph.

The north has lots of songs but is not very loud!
This is either down to not singing as one or not singing loud enough, will be realy good when it gets it's act together. Needs one group leading not several singing different songs at the same time.

The more important thing is that we don't get outscored.
There's no league points for singing.

Also Fratton park was dead when we were there earlier in the season plus it's a dump with a roof.
