sing when we are winning

Delighted that we are two one up.

 

But.... We just spent the first ten minuteof the second half trying to start oh when the saints, but nobody was interested. Shocking atmosphere and this score is despite the fans rather than because of them.

 

You are a bunch of miserable bastards. ****ing sing, and not just when we're winning.

 

I reckon is probably a bit nervous. Get our first points on the board and things will be OK. We aren't a typical small team getting into the big time so it isn't going to be a big party every game. We have higher expectations.

Nah, can't agree with that. Nerves or not we should be trying to lift the players. Today they had to do it by themselves.

Well moaning and groaning has never lifted the team, that's for sure. Got some sh*t for suggesting as much at half time.

 

In the Northam that was actually the best atmosphere at home so far this season and we had the place rocking after an hour (so much so that a mate in Portswood said he could hear us). Just a shame that it seems to take us going ahead for people to pipe up at the moment.

Did you actually make this thread whilst at the game? That's some impressive moaning

Fair point from the OP. Having moved to the Northam this season, the atmosphere has been disappointing to say the least. People will sing prematch and for the first few minutes, but if Saints don't score early it goes very flat. We started a few songs at the beginning of the 2nd half yesterday and only sections of the stand were joining in. The majority were too busy getting stroppy with the team whenever a move broke down. As soon as we started scoring, they all started bloody singing again.

 

Seems that plenty of us seem to think we're good, loud supporters, but the reality in the Northam stand would suggest quite the opposite for large patches of matches.

Maybe watch the ****ing game and support the team before having a pop at everyone else.

Haha, fantastic. I spent 30 seconds writing this after spending 10 minutes at the start of the second half singing my ****ing heart out whilst the miserable bastards all around us stood in silence.

 

I've never posted on here during a match before, but I was ****ed off with the lack of effort made by the majority around me to help lift the team.

 

So don't talk to me about supporting the team, mate.

You shouldn't of started a provocative thread on it then, pal.

So do you think posting on here during the game is going to get everyone singing? Like everybody is at SMS continually refreshing SWF. "Oh look Barry reckons we should all be singing... let's get to it"

 

Or are you just trying to be some sort of Uber Fan?

It was something that ****ed me off at the time, so I put it on here, in the hope that next time perhaps people will have a think about supporting the team even when we aren't winning. Short of speaking individually to each person standing in silence this seemed like the next best option.

 

I accept that posting during the match was a bit stupid, bit by that point we were winning and the support was excellent.

 

I know some will feel that fans should refrain from criticizing others, ever, but I find it so frustrating that we seem to expect the team to lift us when times get tough, not vice versa.

Only pulling your leg. I guess different people do different things. I don't mind people not singing but I do hate it when they ***** and moan and get on player's backs. It was a nerve racking day yesterday until the goals started going in and I guess people react differently - some will sing and shout, others will go quiet and chew their nails. I do see your point though.

Its nothing new though.

 

They're the same fans who'd sing all the hilarious renditions of 'you're not singing anymore'..etc, to the away fans once we're in the lead.

 

Was a bit lame weren't it?

 

I'll give us a pass on this one since being 1-0 down at home and staring down the barrel of a 5th straight loss I think a lot of clubs would have struggled to really get the atmosphere going. In future though we should be noisier regardless of the score barring the game being a total disaster.
