Dan Posted 18 January 2015 Posted 18 January 2015 I sit in SK1, I sing and my 11 year old daughter sings. So don't be tarring everyone with the same brush. It quite clearly isn't everyone, but lets not pretend it isn't a good 80% The supposed designated (arguable) singing stand and about 80% of it stays silent all game. What the ****.
Katy Posted 18 January 2015 Posted 18 January 2015 It quite clearly isn't everyone, but lets not pretend it isn't a good 80% The supposed designated (arguable) singing stand and about 80% of it stays silent all game. What the ****. Just opposing the point that was said earlier that 'kids aren't going to sing' when some clearly do. Seating has killed the atmosphere at games, when we're 'allowed' to stand at away games we do make more noise. If you're sitting down, it's more of an effort to sing. If you're sitting watching a shit game like yesterday, it's even harder to muster up the effort to sing, particularly if you're sitting down.
Spanner73 Posted 18 January 2015 Posted 18 January 2015 Thought it sounded quite loud in parts today,now Stoke were loud,loudest away I've heard at kp. They always have been haven't they I'd put them and Newcastle as the loudest I've heard out of anyone
foxfanazer Posted 18 January 2015 Posted 18 January 2015 Does anybody know if the guy who looked like he had a heart attack in SK1 concourse in the first half is ok? I went down for a piss and he was on the floor with paramedics around him
Oakes5 Posted 18 January 2015 Posted 18 January 2015 Didn't see this group else wouldn't of created the 'Home Crowd' group. This is my point. Disgusted with our home crowd this season. Worst fans in the country at home. Best Away. Not getting behind the team in the so called KOP where my ticket is. Creating little atmosphere to get behind the lads when they need us most. Fed up of having people sat around turning up each game booing waiting for the inevitable which is relegation. Why can we not be united as a club and get behind Pearson and the team and create am atmosphere at home which makes it intimidating for away teams. We will go down with our home form. Where has our KOP gone...?!?!?!?!?!
Babylon Posted 18 January 2015 Posted 18 January 2015 Yeah but they should want to imo, hello this is the kop It's not the Kop though is it, that's just a name. The Kop was lost when we moved ground and it's now no different to any other stand in the ground.
Bettsj2 Posted 18 January 2015 Posted 18 January 2015 It's not the Kop though is it, that's just a name. The Kop was lost when we moved ground and it's now no different to any other stand in the ground. Massive this.
Countesthorpe Fox 1884 Posted 18 January 2015 Posted 18 January 2015 There's a few kids in SK1 who sing and give it their all
deejdeej Posted 18 January 2015 Posted 18 January 2015 It was worse than usual yesterday. Anyone else see the bloke near the front of SK1 stand up and try to start a chant at the back of the stand, only to be told to sit down by a steward?

Moonstomp Posted 18 January 2015 Posted 18 January 2015 My mate from Stoke said the atmosphere was better than the Britannia! Must be like a library as yesterday was poor! Not as poor as the effort we made on the pitch but poor still. Missed opportunity or what?
Bobby Hundreds Posted 18 January 2015 Posted 18 January 2015 Who wouldn't want to sing such memorable and catchy songs such as "Come on Lestah", "Come on Lestah Boyz" and the remake of a classic "Nah nah nah Ben Hamer"?
deejdeej Posted 18 January 2015 Posted 18 January 2015 Was that the drunk guy?Yeah looked like he was arguing at first but then just started singing. Says a lot when somebody trying to up the atmosphere gets told to shut up.
Katy Posted 18 January 2015 Posted 18 January 2015 Yeah looked like he was arguing at first but then just started singing. Says a lot when somebody trying to up the atmosphere gets told to shut up. I think after that, the back of SK1 were singing to him to start a song. I saw the stewards over there talking to him, I think they need to chill a bit. It's not a wake (although it feels like one sometimes)
AspectFox Posted 18 January 2015 Posted 18 January 2015 Mate y u posting something negative? You trolling or something? Top trolling. Ha ha [emoji6]

I don't think kids actually want silent grounds. The impetus is on the older fans to make an atmosphere worth joining in to and too often it doesn't happen.
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 18 January 2015 Posted 18 January 2015 There's a few kids in SK1 who sing and give it their all Where does this stereotype come from? Seriously, the average age of the standers at the back of SK1 has to be 25 at least. Mentioning no names there are some people that significantly bump the average up

Unabomber Posted 18 January 2015 Author Posted 18 January 2015 It's not the Kop though is it, that's just a name. The Kop was lost when we moved ground and it's now no different to any other stand in the ground. Very good point Babs. Still a shame that it is so quiet though.

Mentioning no names there are some people that significantly bump the average up Might be wrong on this but I thought Countesthorpe Fox was one of said 'kids'?
Countesthorpe Fox 1884 Posted 18 January 2015 Posted 18 January 2015 Might be wrong on this but I thought Countesthorpe Fox was one of said 'kids'? Depends what age you define "kid"
Basingstoke Fox Posted 18 January 2015 Posted 18 January 2015 There's a family that stands in front of me in SK1 on row II. They have a couple of kids who seem to absolutely love the atmosphere and are always joining in! Absolutely love to see that. I was initially hooked by the atmosphere when I went to my first game (and Scowcrofts last minute winner). I'm sure that most kids would absolutely love to be involved with a great atmosphere if they could be.
SpacedX Posted 18 January 2015 Posted 18 January 2015 Nothing will ever match the acoustics and atmosphere of Pen 3.
steveherbe Posted 18 January 2015 Posted 18 January 2015 Was that the drunk guy? Gaz, was that you? Sorry mate, couldn't resist!
