Why was the North stand so quiet today ?

[Bold Seagull]

No shit Sherlock, it was a sarcastic remark, so sorry you didn't get it.

If someone doesn't get the lowest form of wit, it generally means its been poorly executed.

 

[Pretty pink fairy]

Will we ever get a good atmosphere going at the amex?

No, the structure of the support has changed for the worse,average at best shocking at its worst

When did you last attend? Truthfully...

1986 when you could pay on the gate with a few crisp pound notes and the match wasn't over until blood was spilt in hove park.

 

[atomised]

North stand and West upper sounded pretty loud from the south west corner

 

[Ferring Marine]

Tw*t.
I bet you leave 5 minutes before half time and full time (if you can last that long).
Get a life (or a hearing aid) unless it induces a cardiac arrest.
Boring man of the millenium award goes to you Rogerio.
Great wind up by the way !

Classic Amex atmosphere.

27K. Acoustics that bounce crowd noise mainly back down where it came from and on to the pitch.

Buzzing from start to finish in WSU.

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Sounded ok on the tv. The commentator mentioned a few times how the crowd were making some great noise.

it's the corporatisation of the game isn't it......speak to any old "geezers" and they will almost , to a man say "i don't bovver with the home games any more" this goes for Arse , Chelsea, spurs , man u and citeh......the game, at the top levels has been sanitised which has resulted in woeful atmospheres at many prem grounds.......put this together with the large amount of knitting and i-pad scrabble going on and you have an idea why we struggle to get a real atmosphere going ......palace , like it or love it are fast getting a reputation as the loudest set of fans home and away....

 

[Miami Seagull]

Have to say that the atmosphere sounded excellent on the box today. As mentioned above the commentators were continually referring to the noise and overall atmosphere.

it isn't just knitting and I Pad scrabble. The season ticket people around me have a crossword club going where they take it in turns to complete answers throughout the match. To be fair they are quite good (often complete both the Telegraph and Times cryptics by the end of the game) but it is a pain having to keep passing the papers and the pen around for them.

But nobody had a drum and there wasn't a designated uniform today...?

I thought the North were quieter than usual today. I do put a lot down to tension - many refused to sing the top of the league songs as it seemed to jinx us after goal one...!

I see it the other way: every chance we get to sing about being top of the league it could be our last of this season, so I join in enthusiastically. (I'm not in the North, though, so can't speak for sentiment there.)

I did at first then when it was being sung towards the end I wished they'd stop as I was a bag of nerves

I couldn't hear myself think when that pin dropped it woke the bloke up next to me!
