So that's local rivalries on the verboten list of things that aren't cool enough.
What other core parts of football culture do you go round cringing at? |

Cumulative on top of the other stuff like security paddles. Also fewer people entering West Stand from Fanzone tonight due to weather and match time. [Post edited 3 Dec 2024 23:11]

Caused by the "upper tier only" and "lower tier only" segregation of North Stand turnstiles. There, presumably to solve issue of people buying for upstairs and moving downstairs. Used to be combined. Fewer issues. Especially as they seem to have bunched the upper tier ones at one end and the lower at the other, meaning people have to walk at each other, instead of just entering the stand at the end they came in at.

It's also a pension fund. They're hopefully after longterm steady returns rather than making a quick buck. |

I really like what someone else said about a corner stand from the North Stand into the new Cobbold. I know Mark Ashton likes his four stand stadia but that's literally what's needed: something to link the two groups.
As long as it didn't fill up with ever more people going there *for* the atmosphere, not to *make* the atmosphere. |

Let's be honest. The acoustic problem is mainly because not enough people are joining in. There was no acoustic problem at full time and for the odd song like Town go marching in |

Unallocated seating in the lower North Stand would sort things out. Although I think you have to undersell the capacity to be allowed to do that, which would make it a non starter likely |

I did this today. Bought a ticket in block A, singing section. Game kicks off. Everyone sits down. 10% people joining in singing mostly. Pretty maddening.
This was the area to the right of the steps as you look at the stand. |

Loudly and slowly announcing other scores before anyone had the chance to celebrate was a bigger buzz kill [Post edited 12 Aug 2023 21:50]

Reply | Does the drum do anything?
at 19:53 15 Jan 2023
I agree. The drum stomps over stuff constantly, even their own songs. Should be used sparingly to keep people in time, not pumping out samba rhythms so you can't hear anyone's voices. |

If we can stretch this to New Zealand, then I suppose my dream team would be:
Number one, Tommy Smith

Thread | I'd sack the fans
at 15:42 24 Nov 2021
Someone said, "we've changed the team, the owners and the manager, what's left to change?"
May I make myself wildly popular and suggest the supporters?
They didn't show up yesterday from the get go. 90 minutes of standing and sitting in silence, with the occasional "hilarious" snide joke or growl of disappointment.
The atmosphere yesterday was somewhere between torrid and poisonous. [Post edited 24 Nov 2021 15:43]

Had a great steak and ale pie at half time.
Nice meat, decent pastry and served at a nice temperature. |
