Edmund Posted 14 October 2006 Posted 14 October 2006 http://saintschat.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=125778 I was at the game today and thought are support wasnt to bad but it is hard to judge depending on where you sit.... one saint fan who travelled to the match said its the worst support he has ever seen. Something needs to be done drastically.. its a real shame. I think our support was summed up at the beggining when birch read out the team sheet and 80 per cent of fans couldnt be bothered or didnt know the names. was very embarrasing... Ive seen its popular in germany and i do like the idea of the surname being called out by the fans when a player scores as it adds atmosphere but unfortunatly people only seem willing when its hume. it would be good if we could turn the walkers into one of britains nosiest as teams get intimidated as shown in croatia with england.

Best game at the walkers I've been in a long time atmosphere between 55 and 75 mins was simply awesome. Saints chatting shite.
Magictv Posted 14 October 2006 Posted 14 October 2006 Phew! I'm glad I couldn't give a toss about what they think!
Edmund Posted 14 October 2006 Author Posted 14 October 2006 but thatas my point. i was sitting in the kop and it was pretty decent but my mate was sitting opposite the tunnel and said it was quiet. is hard to actually judge as evryone has a diff experience. the walkers does contain sound quite wel just need more supporters actually getting behind the team,
Tommeh Posted 14 October 2006 Posted 14 October 2006 If that today was quiet then god save brum. Their place was a graveyard if it wern't for us the other week. And as for soton I went the other year and it was silence all around!!
Daggers Posted 14 October 2006 Posted 14 October 2006 When P1 and 2 join in a singsong then you know a reasonable sound is being made
Jimmy Posted 15 October 2006 Posted 15 October 2006 i've said it before but the club seem apposed to it, switch the kop and family stand around, instant atmophere
Tubes Posted 15 October 2006 Posted 15 October 2006 i've said it before but the club seem apposed to it, switch the kop and family stand around, instant atmophere im sorry i know this has been brought up a number of times but is it possible for that switch to happen?
Jimmy Posted 15 October 2006 Posted 15 October 2006 im sorry i know this has been brought up a number of times but is it possible for that switch to happen? yes in the summer if the club were willing to do it
Tubes Posted 15 October 2006 Posted 15 October 2006 yes in the summer if the club were willing to do it that sounds promising but knowing our club they will leave things as they are i thought it was the police that stopped the switch
davieG Posted 15 October 2006 Posted 15 October 2006 that sounds promising but knowing our club they will leave things as they are i thought it was the police that stopped the switch The fans didn't vote for it, well not a majority.
The Stig Posted 15 October 2006 Posted 15 October 2006 I thought the atmosphere wasn't bad at the game, the problem is that people don't sing because no one around them is, so they are too shy to, also read this of the saints official website, its the most biased match report you'll ever read http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/?page_id=7607
Little Nicky Posted 15 October 2006 Posted 15 October 2006 It's weird at the Walkers, many have said that, dependant upon where you sit you can't hear any of the chanting. I sat in G2, I couldn't hear L1 at all, the Kop weren't very loud either. It's a stark contrast to Filbo Street where it was noisy pretty much all game every game regardless of where you sat! We need to get the passion back, but that's not going to happen if we don't use this result as a starting point and go on winning!

Methinks you're wearing some rose tinted specs, as much as I miss Filbert St it was invariably just one corner of the Kop making any sort of impact, at the most you might have got the Carling clapping along like most of the Walkers does now. Unless of course you meant that you could hear the kop from wherever you sat at Filbert Street, which I would agree with.
Benji Posted 15 October 2006 Posted 15 October 2006 Fans of teams that lose nearly always go on about sh1t fans. If it's not the ref being totally against them, it'll be a fall back on how rubbish the opposition fans are. It's the same on here, when we lose (and let's be fair it's not an impossibility ) people go off on how rubbish the other teams support is blar blar we are loyal supporters because we are losing blar blar. End of the day we won, they lost, HAH
Guest Posted 15 October 2006 Posted 15 October 2006 I'm glad someone, somewhere doesn't have anything more important to worry about other than the atmosphere at a football match. And not even at their own ground.
northamstander Posted 15 October 2006 Posted 15 October 2006 im not trying to wind you lot upo but i think the noise at the walkers is terrible!! but..... compared to last season it was substantially better but it was still crap i think you lot need sum imagination with your songs

Northam Soul Posted 15 October 2006 Posted 15 October 2006 I go to most away games and have to say that your support is the worst I have witnessed, by a long way. The only ones that seemed to sing was about 50 chavs to our left. It is not bitterness, you were the better team yesterday, still shit, but the better team. Also what is it with the heavy-handed policing in Leicester?
lcfc_jme Posted 15 October 2006 Posted 15 October 2006 Only after we get some imagination on the pitch, you have to prioritise these things you know Well said davie, well said We need the players to give us a reason to get behind them, and give us a reason to want to sing and encourage them. Maybe yesterday was (I hope) the start of good things for us

Please get a grasp of spelling and grammar, we have standards on this forum don't you know ~ and that's what makes us better supporters than you.

Also what is it with the heavy-handed policing in Leicester? ouch someone is sour. when you go to birmingham you will know what bad home support is. i'll admit our home support is lacking but when we did get some songs going then they got going. the heavy handed policing is probably to do with your mindless idiots that go round causing trouble in morrisons car park sour grapes after a loss to a "shit" leicester side.

Did you forget your fans bricking travel club coaches last season with scarfers on, women and children? How very brave. We were met by half a dozen OB on the platform at the train station and marched like cattle across the road to The Hind and police guarding the pub, not allowing us to leave.... THAT is what I call heavy-handed. What sort of trouble are you accusing Saints fans of then? I certainly did not hear anything.

I certainly did not hear anything. we might have been shit mate but we got the 3 pts so you can pack calling us shit cos we beat your lot. i wasnt at the f.a cup game between us and i dont agree with lads bricking buses. but maybe to prevent this the OB cattled you in. were you in morrisons car park after the game? i was asked by a saints fan if im leicester cos he heard me and a mate talking about the game and he started to threaten me whilst i was in my car and made motions as if to kick the windows. now carry on with how your fans are the best and you rule all. you'll be fortunate at play offs. take off your lucy pinder tinted specs.
