IAmNick Posted January 14, 2023 Report Share Posted January 14, 2023 (edited) Quiet the first half but was a bit better second half. Hope they keep it up and it improves! Loads of stewards milling around at times who looked like they'd been told to go there but had no idea what to do.

Noise levels above anything this season, two blocks going at it got the whole ground singing at times. Ridiculously negative attitude, what’s the point? Just how it came across on TV. Thrilled we won especially with a bit of fight for once. Upwards and onwards. Just now, IAmNick said: Quiet the first half but was a bit better second half. Hope they keep it up and it improves!

Being negative about a fan movement that is literally trying to help the horrendous AG really baffles me to be honest. 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re not obliged to knock it just because they called it ‘ultras’. If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E.J.Thribb Posted January 14, 2023 Report Share Posted January 14, 2023 I sit in B block, so here’s what I saw. Positives: good atmosphere, they made some noise so there’s that. Negatives: the newbies to A block treated it as if it were unreserved seating. There were a number standing on the stairwells….and you could see the regulars looking peeved at not being able to get to their seats. If it’s to continue then there needs to be some give and take in order for the club to allow it, the trouble with some fans is if they’re given an inch they’ll take a yard. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KegCity Posted January 14, 2023 Report Share Posted January 14, 2023 Really good atmosphere today. Both “singing blocks” behind the team the whole match. Very disappointing news for some posters I know but it was a great effort 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFCGav Posted January 14, 2023 Report Share Posted January 14, 2023 I mean that was a much better atmosphere today. Well done all involved. Some talk of overcrowding which is concerning though. Buy your tickets there next season lads - that was much better. Helped the result imo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddoc Posted January 14, 2023 Report Share Posted January 14, 2023 Ok for a bit of context, firstly , I loved the atmosphere, had a season ticket in Block A for years, initially due to the fact it had the more vocal fans in it, which sadly became diluted over the years. However it was massively over capacity today which is obviously unsafe if allowed to continue, as mentioned above many season ticket holders couldn't access their seats, and due to the standing throughout the game many people who aren't able to stand or are vertically compromised such as my missus couldn't see. Now when this problem arises in away games the solution put forward is to move to the front, but this was frankly not possible. What did surprise me was how polite my pubescent little friends were, so credit to them there, but if block A is to be reclaimed as a singing section these problems need sorting out. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others I know who attended the game said the same from the Lansdown. If you want to sing then sing and good luck to you. I frankly dont give a crap. You can sing Boyzones greatest hits for all I care. Remember though that not everybody shows their support in the same way, however they pay their £30 odd entry fee in the same way you do. It doesn't make them any less a fan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
