quite for once

[harwellsaint]

thought our crowd was less noisy than usual, any reasons?

[Golden Balls]

Indeed, quite

[Norm]

Hangovers?

[Colinjb]

Blame alcohol.

[Chez]

totally controlling the game leaving fans in a semi pleasant state of calmness.

[latter day saint]

lots of people who wouldn't normally, attend on Boxing day

was a fairly comfortable win

no real drama's in the game

we are,as fans expecting a win every home game

[Saints foreva]

Itchen North usually quite vocal when it's been opened up this season (West Ham, Brighton) but today it seemed like it was full of people who just wanted to sit there and do nothing.

[suewhistle]

Lack of the affluence of incohol, easy controlled win, saving ourselves for Friday, even the overseas visitors. ;-)

[Saint_lambden]

They're called plastics. Up and down for the toilet like they had bladder problems. I heard someone behind ask if Chaplow was playing 20 minutes in

[Lighthouse]

Early kick offs are always a bit subdued. Most normal people haven't been to the pub for a couple of hours before the game, so aren't particular well oiled. That and it's boxing day, people are a bit hung over and there are a lot of people who don't normally turn up.

[Chez]

lots of very young children and pensioners on their annual game with the family makes boxing day crowds invariably ****. All Saints are welcome by me, but the extra fans doesn't generate extra atmosphere.

[bug187]

I was totally hanging..and also trapped in the family centre with my nephew who decided to throw up the turkey sandwich he'd eaten for lunch at various intervals as well as frequently requiring the toilet.

[Norm]

10 minutes into the first half, man sat behind me said, "That Hammond is not much good!"

[kpturner]

Lack of the affluence of incohol, easy controlled win, saving ourselves for Friday, even the overseas visitors. ;-)

Next you'll be saying "quite" when you mean "quiet"

[Golden Balls]

Noticed a lot of women at the game today. More than normal.

Palace fans also think they were terrible.

[Mattio]

lots of family days out, including me effected it, also early kick off, and recovering from xmas feast!

[LGTL]

Early kick off/hangovers/easy match/lots of families, women and children = rubbish atmosphere.

[hypochondriac]

Worst atmosphere this year by a long way. We won though so I don't care.

[Bartosz Bialkowski]

I took the missus and little'n, 'twas the only way I could get away with going. Bet lots of others were in the same boat

[Thorpe-le-Saint]

Lots of 'one game a year' fans I expect.

[StDunko]

We were in such control there was nothing to get worked up about.

 

Palace fans sung "You only sing when you're winning" which was a bit stupid really as we were winning for most of the game and we weren't singing.

 

Personally I think it is good thing that, we as a set of fans do seem to sing and get behind the team more when we are losing or when the game is tight.

[Liquidshokk]

Was quite shocked by how quiet it was and put it down to being in such control so it didn't feel like the players needed the 12th man. Hope that's not going to be a regular thing when we're flying in the prem with a full house every week

[EastleighSoulBoy]

Indeed, quite

 

Indeed, quite quiet.

[Micky]

Indeed, quite quiet.

 

FFS was it quite quiet or quietly quite - these things are important to fans in exile...!

FWIW I think it was quite quiet because it wasn't loud...!
