All for one Saturday

I imagine the atmosphere will be the same as always, deathly silence in 3 stands - everyone sat rigid like statues and the Northam trying their best to make a bit of a racket.

 

Then if we fall behind the other 3 stands will boo the team off at HT and the ground will be virtually empty come the fall time whistle.

 

Sadly it'll almost certainly be this, no matter the result.

 

Won't stop me having a bloody good day out either way, but I hope our supporters rise to the occasion and actually support the lads. The stuff you hear about the crowd being the 12th man may have been reduced to little more than marketing spiel but our reaction undoubtedly affects the team. Would be nice to hear the whole stadium rocking, it's been too long. Plenty of chants for Adkins too.

Well I'm not expecting much in the area I'm sitting in....being as I will be sitting in the family end with my six year old daughter. Still sounds like it will be just like last season minus the feel good factor:lol:

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat. Football is no place for families, footall is no place for children, football is no place for girls, football is no place for feel good factors, etc, etc. ;)

If we concede an early goal then i can guarantee the majority of the crowd will turn and the moans and boos will be heard.

 

Three things that will send SMS faithful into fits of outrage conceding a goal when we are not winning, not hoofing it out of defence and ..........Guly

Why is there often this misconception? There's been plenty of times when we've gone a goal down and as soon as the noise from the away fans initial cheer has subsided, the only noise is us all trying to roar the lads on.

And that was my view (and the veiw of everyone I know) before we played Wigan. I just hope you're right.

 

I hope he's right too. If we play as well as we did in that 30 min spell against United last home match, we could do very well. However, Villa have improved of late and the pressure will be on our lads big time. So if I was Villa manager, I'd tell my team to hang on in there and keep it close. 0-0 or 1-0 to Saints with 15 mins left will play into Villa hands and we'll really see how well the "new boys" can handle the pressure.
