Support for our away fans tonight

[Ali_rrr]

Incredible noise from the Derby lads today. We really need to sort out the Amex atmosphere, it's pathetic in comparison. I actually thought we were pretty quiet today, I don't think anyone really thought we could do it- much like the players not believing they could win the game. The derby fans and players were.

Derby fans are never like that. It's the occasion. We'd have been that loud if we were 4-0 up against them at home, instead we were all nervous as they looked dangerous every time they attacked; something which we didn't do. Home atmosphere is never going to be as good as away atmosphere as people who do want to sing are in completely the opposite ends of the ground. The only way to sort it out is to have unallocated seating/standing, which won't happen at home games.

This

Derby fans noisiest I've experienced for long time
We were v quiet for long spells. No wind in sails, reflecting performance

This, picked up once 3 nil down but by then game was over. Atmosphere been geniunely poor for a long time now perhaps since move to Amex, Birmingham away being a a notable exception. What happened that day?

Specifically we do not seem to have any chants that can be easily repeated ad infinatum, just about every chant we sing peters out after a verse or 2, derby fans happy to sing the same few chants all game, sounds much much better, we can do a lot better.

Yeh they had the song that was essentially just chanting without many words that they could clap and bounce up an down to for ages. We need something similar. The Birmingham game we need TBs blue and white army for ever.

Also the home atmosphere would be a lot better if we stuck the away fans near out most vocal home fans but that's not going to happen.

Derby moved the away fans since our last game there and although I know the occasion was bigger, it really helped them create noise with load fans either side of the away fans.

Home support was great but then it was nothing like that the last 2 times I've been there.... I'm sure the Amex would of been rocking if we were thrashing our opponents in the play off semi final...

 

[Stevie Boy]

'We're gonna win 5-4' song during the 90th minute was a personal highlight

i heard that on the TV and had a good giggle at it

Just got back and the best things about today were, in some rough sort of order:

The applause for the 56
The old Derby fan reminding me of the score every ten seconds
Leo and Calde fighting through the crowd to applaud us
The constant noise from the faithful.

Poor result. Great day.

We go again.

Leo and Calde fighting through the crowd to applaud us

This was my favourite moment from the day...gave me a lot of reason to smile through the tears and be excited for next season!

derby been very good all year,they have done similar to palace,met with club,they sel lsinging section seats and also at away games contact clubs and get a alloacted area so they can create a good atmosphere,we sadly are well behind on this front,,nearly every sat on twitter i see opposing fans give derby good reviews on their fans

Great day? There's nothing great about losing (badly) a semi final.

 

[The Birdman]

Excellent, weren't they? I still think we suffer a bit at home from the lack of a proper main home stand, though away fans sounding louder than home seems to be common now.

I think that's what the ROTR has been saying for two years amongst other things

 

[Thunder Bolt]

We need some decent songs

We had different songs in the last couple of years but some people were vocal about how cringeworthy they were. Some even decided to start their own chants over the ones deemed not suitable. I don't see anything wrong with blue & white barmy army but have heard it said that barmy army is for cricket.
Make up your minds. Allow all the chants to be heard, not just the 'approved' boring dirges.

Obviously. The 'great' part of it was spending the day supporting my team with my mates.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Thought it p1ss poor by Frankie and Benny's to be randomly selective about entry. The league game presented no issues but they kindly left us out in the rain yesterday.
This was made easier however by the spontaneous songs aimed at random passers-by.
Good effort, although will boycott F&B ad infinitum now. Poor show,

Sometimes you just have to smile and kick on

Boiling,huge queues,tipping it down outside and 4 power cuts before most left! Not sure they were expecting those numbers

[ManxSeagull]

I think a number moved back and slotted in with others. May have been due to the rain and lack of cover at the front
