NOTR Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Don't like sitting at the front as you don't get the best view of the game Better than the back of someone's head I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfOfWestStreet Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Unless I couldn't physically stand I can think of a single reason why you'd want to sit down at a football match. An obscured view has its advantages, last season being a prime example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BounceAroundJosh Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Is that 'BounceAroundJoshWhileSittingDown'? There were definitely plenty of places to sit nearer the front. Great atmosphere last night because everyone was standing and singing. Plenty of seats near the front with a good view... I reiterate that I like to sit nearer the back. I don't mind people standing aslong as they are not obstructing other peoples view who pay money to watch their club not watch someone's back....

Brian Butterfield Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Got to enjoy the irony! "Gary Johnson says, bounce around your seat..." He just bounces up and down in his seat in pure anticipation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djb6162 Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 With all due respect, that's not how I seen it. Stewards tried insisting people sat in their correct seats, but some of us made it clear when we walked in that a) we weren't given any choice where our ticket was allocated (front/back) b) I had every intention of standing a lot and singing and was going to be up the back. There was plenty of space for people to go nearer the front if they wanted to sit. Everyone singing went straight up to the back Absolutely not so, the standing was from the front seats back, not the other way around. Study the pictures for yourself. Anyway, why on earth should anybody wishing to pay for a ticket,travel 150 miles and arrive home at midnight be banished to the lower levels with poor visibilty and in most grounds exposed to the elements. Singing and standing are not inextricably linked are they, nor is singing monoplolised by those who wish to stand. Absolutely you have the right to stand up, but not at the expense of somebody who wants to sit down. So please dont tell me that everyone who wished to sit down last night had the option to, whilst also being able to watch the game that is. If you choose to stand, then those behind you lose the choice to sit down if they want to watch the game and not your back. If i chose to sit, i am not in anyway infringing on your enjoyment of the game. Clearly you and i will not agree on this topic, so lets not fall out over it, i respect your view and the debate.

I noticed that too They weren't too bad, Some odd bashes of the drums but overall let the singers sing and joined in when appropriate, Very well done Cue the abuse to Notters from the ones who couldn't make it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK0wnag3 Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 You shouldn't stand at the expense of someone sitting? But what about sitting at the expense of someone standing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 I reiterate that I like to sit nearer the back. I don't mind people standing aslong as they are not obstructing other peoples view who pay money to watch their club not watch someone's back.... I see your point completely; however as said above, if standers shouldn't stand at the expense of someone sitting.. shouldn't "sitters" not sit at the expense of someone standing??

exAtyeoMax Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 What happens if you are really short? Even if you stand, you could be behind people who are 6ft and still not see anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much 'bang bang bang CITY' but I accept that away in an FA Cup replay. The "let's pretend we scored a goal" was cringeworthy and only around a dozen joined in thankfully...ring any bells?

Puckle_red Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 My suggestion was 'somebody's telling porkies' meaning either you or the steward...all of your mates have heard this steward so it must be the steward telling porkies because it was ok, that's all. Most of the chants were pretty embarrassing and sung by the usual few. Some however were loud but fairly generic, still as I say other than cringeworthy songs, and over zealous drumming it was good that when the songs wernt ruined or cringeworthy the away end was quite vocal.
