I must say I was quite disappointed with our away fans today. We certainly never got behind the team. No singing, no atmosphere.
We need to do our part, be the 12th man.
I mean, where were the jolly hooligans today??? I miss them.
Maybe it was the lack of alcohol allowed outside of the bar?

Akrofi early in the second gestured to use to raise the noise, we didn't consistently enough

To be fair you could have 10000 in that ground and still not get an atmosphere. The main stand is so far away from the pitch you need binoculars to see anything.

You may need to go to Specsavers! Don't recall seeing any of the fans seated at the back of the stands at Old Trafford using binoculars, and they're around four times the distance away from the pitch than at Melbourne.
However, we Claret fans are all agreed that it's very difficult to create any atmosphere at the ground, but unfortunately, that's all we've got. Just happy to be playing in the City instead of 10 miles away, as was the case prior to 2006.

Never going to be easy with the track there but you seemed to manage more noise than we did regardless.

They made great noise, their away fans (as noted by having their away flag), behind the goal were very noisy. I was jel of their noise.

There were 7 of us who usually make a decent amount of noise stuck on the motorway for the entirety of the game but I suspect that on the last day of a 4 day Bank Holiday weekend most people aren't going to have enough left in them to be as enthusiastic as usual.

I remember when we were all crammed in behind one goal for a cup game at yours once. Great atmosphere that day. I remember you going one up and having a Chelmo fan using my shoulder to help him jump high in celebration. I know we won 2-1 in a cup upset that day and you missed a late penalty. We won't mention what happened the next season due to the expense of the counselling some of us may need!

The reality is that the County/Kent league fans were more passionate and more vociferous on away games.

Because they were a greater proportion of the whole, compared to nowadays. QED.

It's important to nws's self image that he imagines that he was one of a band of self-sacrificing martyrs, without whom none of us Johny-come-latelys would be enjoying our fickle selves at the JWW these days. (Although how 'we' survived the early Wilderness Years without his undying support remains a mystery...)

Because they were a greater proportion of the whole, compared to nowadays. QED. Headstone, I like your posts. Educational and often smeared with humour. On this occasion I fail to see a hidden joke or what a ship has to do with great portions. ?
