dronskisaint Posted 1 April, 2012 Posted 1 April, 2012 Watched the game on telly yesterday and wanted to praise our support up there. Really good noise, only heard their support a couple of times when they scored and the '3-0 and you still can't sing' emphasised how cr*p their support was compared with you all! Credit to you that went up there - loud and proud with a good variety - bring on the skates!

Wilf Posted 1 April, 2012 Posted 1 April, 2012 Yes, well done to everyone there, magnificent performance !
Colinjb Posted 1 April, 2012 Posted 1 April, 2012 (edited) I thought the home fans wern't too bad up there. Certainly better then some away games i've been to. But yes, i was utterly hoarse this morning after the second half singing. It must have been at least 15 minutes non-stop of 'oh when the Saints,' and the 'Top of the League, we're having a laugh' in response to the home end attempting to taunt us with the same chant was perversly satisfying! All credit to everyone else who went, absolutely brilliant for a televised game such a long way away. Hope the trip back to the south coast was smooth for everyone. Edited 1 April, 2012 by Colinjb
madruss Posted 1 April, 2012 Posted 1 April, 2012 Second that, they were fantastic. Singing the fire drill chant to oppo fans when 3-0 down was a particular highlight!
Golden Balls Posted 1 April, 2012 Posted 1 April, 2012 Brilliant support. My voice is completely gone. Glad it came over well
Plumstead_Saint Posted 1 April, 2012 Posted 1 April, 2012 Sounded great on tv and kept it going right to the end. Well done to you all
tpbury Posted 1 April, 2012 Posted 1 April, 2012 Well done chaps! Did have a concern, that it was a 'minute of applause' following a tragedy (other than getting stuffed 3-0). I would have been there if I were still living in sunny Lancashire, rather than Oz! I was always impressed by the genuine travelling support whenever I went to Leeds, Burnley, WBA etc , let alone northeast clubs which I couldn't stomach despite a 200 mile head start. Good work.
stardustonmyfeet Posted 1 April, 2012 Posted 1 April, 2012 I know crowd noise on TV can be misleading due to positioning of microphones, etc. but yesterday I tuned in around 65 minutes in, and the rest of the match was non-stop Saints songs. Now that is pretty damn good, and we were three nil down. I laughed at the end when Jake Humphrey mentioned how "the home fans know how to make an atmosphere" to cheering at the final whistle. It could only have been sarcasm except he sounded frighteningly sincere.
kpturner Posted 1 April, 2012 Posted 1 April, 2012 I thought we were fairly tepid until the third goal went in - then we had bugger all else to do but sing. The night out in Blackpool started slowly as well, considering we were all so pi $$ ed off.

It could only have been sarcasm except he sounded frighteningly sincere. Microphone placement most probably played a part but only regarding the home fans - when the final whistle blew their sound was extremely subdued which made no sense considering they had just tonked the league leaders. That doesn't change the fact that Saints away following were excellent and really made themselves heard - especially in the 2nd half when things got ugly. Massive respect to those who went and defended Saints' honour!
Brizzie Saints Posted 1 April, 2012 Posted 1 April, 2012 Respect to all that went, you sounded awesome and did us proud, well done. Now pull out all the stops for the skates. Loud, Proud and Toxic
Orange Posted 2 April, 2012 Posted 2 April, 2012 We were pretty w*nk until we went 3 down, typical odd support from us! We were class though last 20 minutes.
