Well done South Standers
« on August 08, 2013, 02:19:16 pm by graingrover »
 As an expat I cannot get to all matches obviously but attended the first two home games and went in South stand .The atmosphere both games was amazing. The guys on the drum on Tuesay night in particular raised the crowd around them time and time again . Keep it up lads .. you are an important part of the matchday experience and I am sure the players love you.

This is partly helped due to the cash turnstiles

Me and my pal who went Tuesday couldn't get pay on the gate tickets, the 2 lads in front took the last 2, gutted!

Wonder how many tickets they had for pay on the gate, anyone know? I think a few others behind us got redirected to the ticket office as well as us. Maybe a few more needed on the gate?

I think Lee in his SLO capacity will be able to tell you more, but it's something being worked upon. It's clearly unsatisfactory for ALL concerned but we have to look at ways of making it work better and not forget, that it's a positive thing and will evolve.

My 4 year old grand daughter came along for her first game, she joined in with the rhythmic clapping along with the drum and learned a few chants, it prevented the boredom of having to sit down to watch something that is totally alien to a 4 year old girl for nearly 2 hours.

Sorry wasn't meaning it as a criticism, I turned up just about on ko time so cant complain about there none being left. I think it's great having the option to pay on the gate and will certainly use it over the ticket office if possible

Just over 400 tickets are available on the cash turnstiles for three blocks, row A -H.

Didn't go Tuesday, but I was there Saturday. 'Amazing atmosphere?'
Must have sounded better in the south stand than the west. Don't even think the drummer was there Saturday?

I agree I was in the South on Saturday and it was far from an amazing amotsphere only time I heard any loud chanting was for Wellens, Jones when he scored and when Copps went off.

It depends where you sit really. If you're sat in amongst the main group of people who sing it's better than being off to the side or below or what have you.

It sounded better than usual to me in the East Stand. I wasnt the only one to notice, a couple of people commented on it.

Jimmydee I am surprised you let your four year old daughter say all those swear words.

Rather than listening to what the south stand sings don't you think you'd be better off singing to help create an atmosphere and therefore enjoy the whole game and experience more?

There is more than one occasion others have copied me when I've started chanting and signing
