This post is a croc of shit. Why is all of our woes put firmly at the door of the main stand?? Let’s get it right Bar a fairly small group singing in the new stand who do a great job btw the rest of the support in that stand make not much more noise than the main stand. I sit in the main stand so am qualified to comment on the moaners and those who can’t take a bit of atmosphere. Your point “bar a fairly small few” is my pint exactly and on top of that people moan. So where is our home advantage? The problem with the main stand, senna, is that it contains a lot of people who are past chanting age plus a lot of people who are not that bothered that much so wouldn't chant anyway. It's shown by the fact that having shown their richness by occupying the dearer part of the ground they then cannot be bothered to lug their Jag/Daimler/Mercedes further away than Dover or Ebbsfleet.

And of course, you're supremely qualified to comment on all things home related since you're such a regular.

There is a massive difference in atmosphere at home games. You admitted in the past you do not like to clap. We as fans should make our ground a place that teams and there fans dread to visit. That will never happen until all the fans do there bit, no good sitting or standing at the games, playing with your phones or constantly moaning about selections or tactics, so let us all get behind the team Tuesday night, and make it such an atmosphere no one wants to play us there.

I go to as many awaydays as I can, and anyway, I don't make comments about our away support so whether I'm a regular is irrelevant. Also, I have never said I don't like to clap. In fact I was clapping along with the EE chants (such as they were) on Saturday, but you simply cannot expect all supporters to behave in the same way. It's a ridiculous argument from people who think their way is the only way. I guess you're basing your lies on my post about not singling out Lincoln supporters for special treatment because of the achievements of their team. I always applaud away supporters who've travelled long distances, and I included Lincoln supports in the general applause for their club on its achievement.

That will never happen until all the fans do there bit, no good sitting or standing at the games, playing with your phones or constantly moaning about selections or tactics, so let us all get behind the team Tuesday night, and make it such an atmosphere no one wants to play us there. I've deliberately split your post to respond to the individual points.
Personally I go to games with the vague hope of decent football and being entertained. I currently am able to go to all home and away games and don't want to "dread to visit" any ground. Why would I want others to feel that about visiting the Gallagher? Winning everything and hurtling up the pyramid isn't my personal aspiration and I don't believe my 'support' or attendance is conditional on someone else's view of me 'doing my bit'.
I don't happen to play with my phone - the technology is too old to let me play - and I do try not to constantly moan, although - I did loudly call ter Horst a muppet for missing the open goal.
Human nature covers a wide range of desires / expectations and any crowd is likely to contain a wide spectrum of them. Repeatedly telling people how they should or should not act isn't going to change that.
I'd say chill, we all want the same thing, but other than in very general terms that's not true. I'd like to think we all want a 'successful club' but I'd guarantee our definitions of success would differ greatly.

And of course, you're supremely qualified to comment on all things home related since you're such a regular. You make lots of comments about people being incorrect about the team etc etc yet I don't recall you ever being manager. I have at least been to home games in the past. To give you an idea of how difficult it is for me. In December, work meant that I could go to Gillingham at home on 5th, Maidenhead away on 9th and Dover away on 26th. I may go to Maidenhead not sure, I am going to Dover and Gillingham got moved to a date that I am working. However, if you wish to feel superior about your season ticket and sitting in the main stand then so be it. I find it a strange attitude given that you were apoplectic about it when I joked about a reserve team game and I have seen you complaining about such an attitude when people have mentioned your non-attendance away from home. More contradiction and a clear back up to the accuracy of my post. At least Mr 'Look at Me' liked it.

Not many will agree but most of the posts are true enough, it's just a matter of perspective, attitude and point of view. Personally I am a main stand season ticker holder who prefers to spend most of his time in the EE. Mainly because the team support is better and you hear a lot less of those snide comments about team performance and individual player criticisms, which seriously piss me off Just a personal choice No offence intended daveu

So you bought a season ticket to be ostentatious and then stand with the proper supporters. Best of both worlds, nick. Is it sausage and chips out of the wrapper in the Bentley on the way home?

Ha ha...so when I posted and said we should applaud Lincoln's supporters and team you objected. When challenged (by others) you then said that I had added the team as an afterthought because I hadn't written 'team and supporters'. When I asked you at what point the word 'and' inferred hierarchy of importance you said nothing. you did what I suggested anyway. I think, on that basis, you will find that you turned a nice and welcoming (to fans of other teams) post into argument to cause upset and chaos. I can see you have done the same thing on several occasions recently. I will thus throw in the huge pinch of salt that your last sentence needs.

This thread has turned into my ‘dicks bigger than yours’, ‘I support the team better than you’, you’re self righteous because you go to away games’. Blah blah blah from the usual suspects.

I'm not "peddling the same old myth" Daveu, simply adding my point of view. Which is based on personal choice to spend more time in the EE than the Main Stand for the reason stated.
