Smal Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 (edited) the caveat is that I've only been to 2 games in 17 years (and one of those was in a box), but I tried joining in songs last night and I literally couldn't sing the words fast enough please slow down, why do you need to get the song over with in 5 seconds?

llcoolc157 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Louder and constant singing isn’t the main challenge we’re up against.. for me, it still continues to be the positioning of like minded fans… Leeds have great support but they’re looking to bounce off the fans sitting nearest to them ie Level 7… in its tribal nature there’s nothing better than goading the opposition throughout the game, it simply generates more noise and activity… and last night would have been the perfect opportunity to send the atmosphere through the roof… Problem is L7 continues to be diluted as historical, regular fans move and are replaced by families and day trippers… I’m still up there for now and witness this every match and it’s noticeable how much it’s fallen away… so apart from the odd game, it’s only going to get worse.. and from a safety point of view the club are probably happy with this… So whilst the gallowgate corner are no doubt giving it their best efforts, the away fans a) find it difficult to hear them and b) doesn’t really have much of an impact as they’re about 20 miles away… Stick the fans next to each other, get a bit of eye contact going and turn a blind eye to foul language and obscene hand gestures…. That’ll sort it…. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordiesteve710 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 1 hour ago, LFEE said: The DJ really peed me off last night He made a lovely announcement regarding KK and in a beautiful organic moment the crowd began the “There’s only one KK…” chant only for him after about 20 seconds completely blast out Going Home at volume 11 and interrupt it as it was building around the ground As for the game it was a first for me spending 1st half in the Gallowgate then deciding to try the East Stand to change the teams luck for the second half. Night and day is all I can say. Even when there is no singing in the Gallowgate there is usually an atmosphere even if its ooo’s rrrr’s moans groans encouragement… East Stand is deadly quiet with an occasional chat between friends you can pick out quite clearly its that eerily well behaved. I was right on the half way line 8 rows from front (perfect view sadly for Schar likely last touch of the ball ever for us) and the old age of people was very noticeable as was their reaction to having someone more vocal sitting amongst them Went in the East Stand for a game 2 year ago and I'm still convinced that they're not real people and I was in some sort of sketch show.

HaydnNUFC Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 (edited) My ST was in block L of the East Stand and I try to sit there as often as possible due to my dad being there as well as familiar faces and lads I have a bit craic with. Actually had my old ST seat last night and I’d say about 7 in 10 around me join in singing, as the atmosphere and songs from the Corner are easily audible so plenty just join in. There’s loads of leaving early/arriving late mind for kick off, HT, second half kick off and stoppage time. Boils my piss when your view gets obstructed because they can’t go more than 45 minutes without alcohol or stuffing their faces. Mings. However the point is, if you have to go in the East Stand for whatever reason try and go in blocks L and M; closest ones to the corner. The rest of the stand is full of miserable fuckers and mutes. But think they’re mint because they’ve been miserable or mute in the same seat for 500 years or whatever the fuck.

bobbydazzla Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 (edited) I had a season ticket in the East Stand around 2005/6ish as I'd just moved back from abroad and it was all I could get at the time. It was very quiet back then, apart from the football tactics cyborg directly behind me who'd been sent back from the future to educate the elite football managers of the past about where they were going wrong. He'd just bark out tactical nonsense non-stop for 90 mins. He always knew best and he never, ever, ever got it wrong. He was an expert at guiding both NUFC and the away team. I lasted that one season, then moved. He's probably still there, 20 years later, blathering away to the person next to him expecting them to be in awe of his outstanding ability to outsmart any elite manager in the game.

ramirez Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I had a ST in the East paddock from 92-06, in front of the BSL box at first, £81 for a kids IIRC, the atmosphere was always a bit sleepy there, blokes with flasks and satsumas for HT etc, but fairly harmless.

The Chelsea figure is pretty meaningless though, as season ticket holders make up such a small percentage of the crowd compared to the tourist element which London clubs have on their doorstep.
