Golden Balls Posted 10 February, 2010 Share Posted 10 February, 2010 Was in block 28, first time out of the Northam in a few years. I expected it to sound a lot louder than it was. Looked good when the whole stand did a disco. Was also surprised how much the Chapel and Kingsland south join in. It's not very loud but generally any songs without clapping get going quite well.

If the chapel stays family I will get ST's elsewhere. Sitting (and standing) in the Itchen was a much better experience than I have been used to this season. I had not taken into consideration how many more songs my youngest could join in when surrounded by active supporters. I have to put my hands up and admit to making a bad error of judgement in the belief I should introduce my youngest slowly. Back to the theme of this thread and yes the ground was rocking more than usual. If pompey are still in existence(not guaranteed judging by news) last night was a good rehearsal for the real thing.

Pat from Poole Posted 10 February, 2010 Share Posted 10 February, 2010 Was in Kingsland / Northam corner near the back of block 38, was impressed with the atmosphere in there. Think I'm in there on Saturday as well, happy days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat Posted 10 February, 2010 Share Posted 10 February, 2010 I was in the Itchen and it was pretty good. Northam sounded loud but the songs were all a bit dull. With 5 minutes to go some chap behind me said "if we win this are we in the final?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fergie Posted 10 February, 2010 Share Posted 10 February, 2010 Block 43...best atmosphere is ages. been to ALL the paint trophy games now, home and away, so i best be able to get myself a ticket to wembley! will be very disapointed if not. great result, the line-up looked good enough for the championship, more again on saturday morning please!! The northam was rocking today for sure, the lads behind me on back row made a good effort to knock the perspex out, make me crao myself and keep the noise going through the songs. Love Southampton, hate pompey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Um Bongo Posted 10 February, 2010 Share Posted 10 February, 2010 Sat in block 42, as normal but in a different seat. I thought that was the best atmosphere in the Northam for ages. Singing, clapping and jumping around, the stand was shaking and it was all positive for a change Not felt the stand shake in a while, was good.

saintkiptanui Posted 10 February, 2010 Share Posted 10 February, 2010 Normally in the Northam, I genuinely have seen better, tbh they did have some fantastic moments. F*ckin tool, the whole place was rocking, haven't seen it like that for years, the Kingsland gave it a good go as well, fantastic night to be a saint.

Saintjersey Posted 10 February, 2010 Share Posted 10 February, 2010 I sat in Block 43 Row T, and was not impressed by the support tbh. Half the people around me hardly celebrated when we scored, I don't think one person even knew which team Southampton was. I sang my heart out for the entire game, and most people barely joined in (or only did with the easy well known songs). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Who? Posted 10 February, 2010 Share Posted 10 February, 2010 I was in the Chapel. Both Northam and Itchen were good tonight, and that's viewed from an unbiased quiet stationary sat down viewpoint. I'm a Northam ST holder by the way, and how I missed it tonight Yes I was in the Chapel. Great view great company, but not how I want to watch football. I could not sit in there week in week out.

Saintjersey Posted 10 February, 2010 Share Posted 10 February, 2010 Really??? Did you have ear muffs on?? No, the support around the rest of the Northam was amazing, I'm just saying around me was a disgrace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffo Posted 10 February, 2010 Share Posted 10 February, 2010 No, the support around the rest of the Northam was amazing, I'm just saying around me was a disgrace. That's because those people had got tickets late on and it was one of the only places people could go due to the rest of the ground being sold out. So the people sat/stood there were most probably not the usual stand and sing type people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitySaint Posted 10 February, 2010 Share Posted 10 February, 2010 Plastics are priceless Quote 2: 20 minutes in:(to me) Is Paul Wotton playing? Me: No Other: Good because he's cr*p Me: How do you know if you don't know who he is? (followed by confused look). Returning home to Kingsland North for Saturday.

SuperMikey Posted 10 February, 2010 Share Posted 10 February, 2010 Block 44 was a bit quiet at some points, but we made a fair bit of noise throughout the majority of the game! Quite a few chants started by myself and the people standing behind row MM, block 44, seat 1161. Whoever was in OO 1162, you are very noisy indeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jam Posted 10 February, 2010 Share Posted 10 February, 2010 Northam was good last night. I was in Kingsland South and it was good to see almost the whole end full of good guys. But I think a lot of the people in the Northam would be surprised at how quiet they sound from the rest of the ground. On another note, there was a nice moment in the first half when most of the Chapel / Family Section jumped up en masse to join the Northam in a verse of Shoot the Pompey Scum.
