Are the players in the tifo meant to be anyone?

 

I can see similarities for Lloyd dyer and Steve Howard but for the life of me cannot work out who the chap on the left is supposed to be

thought one was Paul konchesky

Noticed that we didn't have the usual fire drill exit after 85 mins yesterday. Not as bad, anyway. Perhaps fans were engaged and really did think we'd get the winner.

I noticed that too.   Still a few determined "to beat the traffic", but nowhere near as many as recent weeks/months/years.

never understood the whole 'beat the traffic' thing

Probably get slated, but I really enjoyed the game and the atmosphere yesterday, especially the last 20 mins or so. I realise I still care. We’ve endured a total lack of energy and passion on the pitch and in the stands for the last couple of seasons, but there was something there yesterday, amongst the chaos. Yes, there was some poor quality on show, but some real effort at times and something to get behind. It felt like a throwback to a more authentic experience of football and life, allowing human error, without the sanitised version that has spoilt the game.

The crowd generally respond to the quality of the fare on offer. Most of our home defeats have been insipid and lifeless, yesterday there was still a determination to get something out of it.

Mate in the west stand C2 bit said both SK1 and L1 were really decent yesterday.

I’m considering moving to L1 from SK4. Lifeless over there

I remember when L1 was the place to be - heard from a work mate its a shadow of what it used to be now and is overrun by tourists and silent sams, great to hear it was decent again, I stand right on the border of G1 and SK1 and thought the atmosphere was better after the equaliser and especially when vestegaard came on

I think both SK1 and L1 can be very decent - probably produce similar noise but there needs to be something on the pitch to get behind and we’ve rarely had that.

Just watching the Saints v Arsenal  and the pre match song/ PA in comparison to our drab WYS and PA who is non existent.

No wonder the crowd is half asleep at KO

No me neither.

It's hardly an anthem and most only know the last line.

Its woeful

just feels a bit depressing and forced to me - and I can't help separate this sh1t era with WYS being played prematch - I know its a bit basic and away teams can jump on it but I liked hey Jude because you could get a bit of aggression behind it

I quite like WYS but take the point that not everyone knows the words.  However my personal favourite is Tw#t your sh#t aahhhhhh.  Its a real throw back to the 80s and im not sure ive heard any other teams do it lately.

 

Pretty funny me and my bro trying to explain it to our american guests 😂 .  Basically i couldn't

We thought it was a fantastic atmosphere yesterday,  we sat right on front of union fs and it was brilliant,  loud, singing and great banter.

We usually go family stand cause it's cheaper during these 'difficult' times 🤔 and it's dead.

2nd time we have been there now and it's definitely our favourite area.

I'm the bald tw@ next to my boy 🤣

Keep an eye on those seats you had as that row usually has a few spare.

Thanks, we can't come to many as I work most weekends 🚑 and live in Skegness 🤪 but it's definitely our place to go now! ☺️🦊

its by having a fanbase who haven't got an average age of 65 and they are passionate about their club

Possibly by having a team that is good enough to beat the Champions-elect in the quarter final of the FA Cup ?

They’ve been as miserable as until their season sparked into life when we collapsed at our place
