Nothing against displays but those which take out 6000ish of your fans from participating isn't the way to go
For about 2 minutes???

Yep but the two minutes where I wanna see the teams arrive and spur on our players. I could be ridiculous and say that's why we were a goal down at half time. Of course it's not but but I'm pretty sure vocal support spurs the players on more than a flag which I still don't know what it said cos I was underneath it
Again I'm going against most of you here, I thought the atmosphere today was really good. The first half, a goal down to our local rivals and it was a tense nervy affair but people were stil shouting and cheering them on. Just because we are not singing for 90 minutes doesn't make it shit. The second half was even better.

Decent enough. Won't go down as an all time great derby atmosphere but we made plenty of noise overall. Can't complain about it. Have to say I thought their fans were horrific. Winning (unexpectedly I might add) for about an hour and barely mustered a Cockney song between them. Was very noticeable any chants of theirs that had "fucking" in it sounded like "facking" long trip back to London for them, can see why they all left early.
Also another mention for the switched ends. Great decision and makes a difference. I said to the guy next to me as the teams came out, we should be kicking this way second half, mot expecting it to happen, and then we changed to my great surprise.
I'd be Interested to know how that happened because they would surely want to be kicking towards their fans second half and if we had wanted the switch then we are entitled to designate that as our default side first half anyway with it only to be changed by the loss of the coin toss.
It makes a difference and it's always been odd that we don't do it every game. Pretty much every other team kicks towards their most vocal end second half and denies the opponents kicking to the away fans.

The guy was a tourist, he didn’t have a clue what he’d done wrong, it was out of order.

Players love the tifos, I'm fairly sure they were all posting stuff about the "follow you everywhere" one from last season.

I’m in 115 and for years myself and mates have questioned why we seem to prefer attacking towards the family stand in the second half and not the much larger and more vocal South Stand. Everton the other week and today both produced the right results attacking the South Stand in the second half. Perhaps we should do it more often. Now there’s a thought….

I'm in SS1 and I thought the family stand was brilliant today. Noticed a lot of the back of the stand stud up throughout the game. What a difference it makes to the atmosphere.

Yeah managed to be a 'front row' stander in 315 all game, had to almost use morse code on Bluetooth when phoning Mrs Moon on the way home in the car.
I'd give the whole crowd 7.5/10....never heard SS1 or 111 but I put that down to us being loud and constantly noisy.
Rags I thought were poor even when in front in their cup final.

It hasn't exactly harmed us kicking towards the North Stand in the second half! Yesterday I thought we lost the toss and ten bob had reckoned pre-match that switching ends might disrupt us, that's about his level of management.
