First half was excellent but felt really subdued second half. Solid 6.5/10 I'd say. I didn't go saturday because the trains were a bloody rip off (plus i've done newcastle away loads), but have we finally binned off that god awful library bollocks? I think we sung that at every single away ground last season, which just goes to prove how fucking dumb it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stripey McStripe Shirt Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 For what it's worth, I sat in the home end with the Geordie's on Saturday, directly opposite end of the pitch to the Saints fans (before anyone moans, I was offered a free ticket by friend who's an ST there). I hate to confess, but from where I was I didn't hear a peep from Saints fans, apart from one round on OWTS early in the game. The red card ramped up the atmosphere big time with the home fans and I hate to say it l, was pretty deafening compared with a typical atmosphere at SMS. Geordies do seem more passionate about their football than southerners on average - don't be offended by that. I think it's partly a combination of their new found hope following the sports washing takeover, combined with the fact that life is so grim up there that football is all many people have up there... Having said that, the friend I was with said it was pretty uncommon to hear the away fans due to their ridiculous position within the stadium, so don't think it's a particular reflection on our support. The sound just gets lost that high up. I'm assuming if I was sat a bit closer I might have heard more. As an aside, my other reflection is that northerners are thick as pig shit and couldn't see to tell the difference between Bereton-Diaz and Sam Edozie... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat from Poole Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Generally they will set the first threshold of aways at a level such that it will always go to the second threshold. Which means that there will be less than 1,300 fans on 18+ aways. But I suspect not that many less, would guess there is between 1,000 and 1,200.

Pat from Poole Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 I heard we sold around 2,500 for last night's game, but there were only around 1,700 there. So clearly a lot of people seeing it as a cheap game to get an extra credit..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football Special Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Getting crazy with these numbers but can see demand dropping now we've had small allocations at Brentford and Bournemouth not such an incentive to up the numbers.

Ted Bates Statue Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 7 hours ago, EssEffCee said: Bournemouth sold out on second window as expected. How was our support on Saturday? Sounded decent through the screen until the 2nd and 3rd goals. I've seen a couple of Brentford matches this season and on Saturday was in the opposite corner, where a pigeon was providing some of the early drama in persistently encroaching onto the pitch. Saints fans were in very good voice especially first half, maybe not quite as loud as Palace a couple of weeks ago but that lot are very heavily organised with their singing nowadays. A few pompey songs after the standard 10 mins but I thought it was encouraging to note that after at least the first two goals conceded, I could clearly hear OWTS cutting through the Brentford cheers. No surprise to hear "we scored a goal" at the end, but otherwise sure it got a bit quieter in the last 30 minutes whereas a couple of seasons ago there was non-stop "we never win at home and we never win away" which might have helped lift my spirits more. Pretty sure we can take squatters' rights over that one. I expected a muted reception for Adam Lallana but he was welcomed back with "He's one of our own". Brentford's West Stand were a bit louder than I expected, giving BBD grief right from the start and then for the second half got straight on Ramsdale's back with "shit David Raya" to which he applauded them like a returning hero. Later, "he's got the score on his back" and I sensed he was feeling a bit rattled, or perhaps I was projecting. It was hard to put up with their "olé's" during injury time just to emphasise that we'd got fucking schooled, with a bonus lesson in proper possession football. I think the make-up of most football club support is generally the same wherever you go in this country. 3 stands buzzing with idle chit-chat, various individual empty vessels bitching and moaning until going 2 or 3-0 up, most only getting vocal for the goals or refereeing, one home stand behind a goal balancing out the away fans if you're lucky. Palace fall into this category too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franniesTache Posted September 3 Author Share Posted September 3 (edited) There's been a high (or low depending on how you look at it) bar this season for the worst possible chant our fans can come up with, from stealing that bloody Allez, Allez, Allez crap from liverpool to nicking songs from United, but this one surely must win the @Turkish award for completely and utterly shit chant of the year. It mentions the skates, it over uses the term scummer (seriously we need to stop doing that) and it doesn't come close to scanning as a tune. In fact things like this make me want to stand in silence (and nowhere near our own fans) https://x.com/SargetheSaint/status/1830932936574525505 Edited September 3 by franniesTache Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stripey McStripe Shirt Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 The Everton fans were very, very quiet even after they scored. I was expecting the whole ground to be a lot more toxic (even the Ashley Young sub didn't get them going for long), though listening to their fans around the ground afterwards, I think there was just a general sense of resignation of their demise. As Saints fans, I guess we've had that feeling in the past. Our fans were pretty rubbish too in all honesty. Difficult to get an atmosphere going with limited excitement on the pitch and lack of home atmosphere I guess. There weren't even that many renditions of OWTS, just the hilarity of "is this a library", "football in a library do do doo" and "we forgot that you were here" on timid repeat.
