At the risk of sounding like Delia - where were you North Stand?
After one poor result on Sunday the team needed to re-group and push on.
Over 20,000 in the stadium and both tiers of the North Stand full, but there to support the team or just stream celebratory videos when we score?
As supporters, we can do nothing in a match to change the tactics or team selection deployed by the manager, but we can hugely effect the confidence and motivation of the players on the pitch.
Going a goal down early on was a blow. Last year, this would have seen loud choruses of ITID or "Come on Ipswich" to show support and encourage the team to dig deep and fight back. Last night - silence. The North Stand is the heart of vocal support, recently it has been spreading round the ground but it is always generated there.
Rotherham are a physically huge team that pressed hard and bullied our players out of most free balls. They showed more desire, while Ipswich floundered.
If you were struggling to do your job well, in front of 20,000 people, what would motivate you to push on and find that extra yard? Boos or support?
Sitting in the Co-op stand (close to the North Stand) I could occasionally hear murmurings of support from Section 6, nothing from the rest. The few hundred Rotherham supporters made more noise and I'm pretty sure at one point I could just about hear supportive chanting from the lower Churchmans.
Our fans are continually praised by PL and the players for their support, last night we showed up in numbers but gave no support. There will be bad matches this season but we need to pull together and push the team on, save the moaning and groaning until the match has finished - you will be welcomed onto Radio Suffolk's phone in.
Please don't let us revert to a toxic atmosphere at Portman Road.

You have made a mountain out of a molehill.
The support this year in terms of noise has been woeful, home and away. However, I am sure it will pick up again, we just need to get one game rocking and we will see an improvement. Our fans have never been really loud, not even last season, but it is not a 'noise crisis' yet.
I was more concerned by chants such as "We're here every week" and singing songs about Troy??? No doubt these chants were started by the Ipswich Fanzone Virgins |  |

Yes! I heard the song about Troy as well.
Some teens in front of me sang along and their Dad told them not to sing it. Not sure if because they knew of Troy or not.
The son's reply was "but it's only a song" |  | | |

There's been a trend over recent years that when we get a few extra in the ground, the atmosphere is flat and we play like shoite. Counter intuitive innit, but very ITFC. |  |

Surely the players should be motivated enough to play well? | | | |

Hmmm, there's a small section of our support who are cruising for a bruising. The Fanzone Virgins is an apt description. | |

I am sure Troy would say he doesn't mind, but then he wouldn't kick up a fuss. Being called a virgin in front of thousands of people cant be nice for anyone though. | |

I am sure he says that as well, but as you say, its not a nice thing to say and no one will ever really know what he really thinks about it | | | |

Cowardly little bullies. And we all know why people like to bully in a herd. Get a life you losers. The irony of these planks chanting about people being virgins is a bit silly of course. | |

Is Troy the lad thats been discussing his problems on here in the last few months?
If so, i'd ban them from the ground for that - straight up bullying hate speech, as bad as racism / homophobia etc. if tolerated, it'll carry on. |  |

Whilst you are correct about the atmosphere being poor last night I'd just like to point of that there is nothing stopping you vocally supporting the team & encouraging others around you to do the same.
Moaning about it on here the day after won't help. |  |

Was going to say something similar but decided against it haha.
But yes, you are spot on. | |

It is mate. Username: Troyse
I have heard it before at games, but last night I heard it from the near the tunnel in the Churchmans. Poor really. | |

I'm not sure on the full lyrics.
One line is definitely
"He's never had sex" Which as already pointed out on this thread, coming from section 6, springs the phrase Pots and Kettles to my mind. | |

Imagine being at a football game and singing that Troy song, a guy who clearly is easily agitated. I have no idea what his thoughts are on it, but every time I hear it I just cringe.
As for RIG, I agree with his comment. Would love to know how many songs the OP tried to start. |  |

I think I am right in saying you know Troy ?
I was wondering if you, in extension, know any of the morons who sing it and know any of them, level headed enough to maybe get them the stop. The bloody Drummer was drumming a long as well. He must also be a moron. | |

Absolutely tragic if that Troy song is something genuinely sung. I dont go to games anymore but I'm embarrassed for everyone involved and the club as a whole. | | | |

I know Troy yeah, and can see how easily vulnerable he is, which is understandable.
There's so many of them 15/16 year olds around him, I don't know any of them. I know a few of his mates who are about 18, but don't know if they sing the song or not. | |

You're right, it won't help any more than the posts moaning about players or the manager. I'm just venting like the rest.
Unfortunately, as a middle-aged female supporter in the Co-op stand my loan shrill renditions of ITID are unlikely to encourage anyone around me to join in.
Just seems, backed up by some of the other comments on this thread, that the heart of the North Stand is ailing? Fans abusing each other instead of supporting the team. A them and us attitude towards Section 6? | | | |
| More upset with the North Stand than the team last night on 10:38 - Oct 24 with 4712 views | tonydinning |
Potentially unpopular opinion but I swear Section 6 are killing the atmosphere in the rest of North Stand with drum drum drum drum drum drum drum drum drum.
I didn't hear a "conventional" football song the whole evening sung by the rest of the stand. | |
