Title: The Nationwide fast handclap thing
Post by: yeo on Saturday, April 21, 2007, 17:57:47
Fucking annoying it seems to kill off songs.

I wonder why the Nationwide cant sing along? I sit there so I suppose im as much to blame except i dont do the hand clap.

Bunch of mongers :x

Fucks me off as well.  Like you I'm also to blame when I sit there and I don't clap either.  Makes me feel like we're MK or something.

Open your gobs you cunts!

I don't think you can get any worse than the fast singing in the Town End.

Which in turn can't get any worse than singing "oh....when...the....reds.... go... steamin... in...." for twenty minutes solid.

Fuck me nearly sent me to sleep that.  We had a real high tempo start to the match in the SB and then that shit bored the majority to tears.  Awful.

The variety of songs recently has been a bit shit. Always seems to be the same ones over and over.

Shut up.  The slow version is ace.

The slow one is good, but there is no need to do it every 5 minutes...

Substitute the word good with "okay" and I'd agreed 100%.  

At times on Saturday it was irritating beyond belief.  Slow and cumbersome, and annoying, every five minutes and it lasted for ages.

i like it, but 20 minutes is pushing it, would be great it was sang once, just getting quicker throughout and reaching a mighty crescendo. or summat like that.

its not as annoying as the Sofiane Zaaboub chant...

la la la la la .....  :x

we sing that one way too much, rochdale away we kick off, someone passes the ball to Zaaboub on the touch line....he does his best Shakes impression and it goes under his foot and out for a throw in....what do our fans do

la la la la la la Sofiane Zaaboub
Sofiane, Sofiane Zaaboub

I've spent all season in the nationwide and seems to be frowned upon for any noise or movement whatsoever.

You're sacrificing a very good view though!

I've enjoyed it more in the town end this season to be honest. Me and my mate sat up in the Nationwide in the relegation season and whenever we even tried a chant or sang along everyone looked at us with disgust.

Yeah i love the view, thats why i bought a season ticket there. It's like pro evo from my seat, but when i go away I have such a better time which the singing crowd, it's a different buzz. I guess i have to sacrifice one though

I kind of enjoy the balance of civilisation at home games - my Dad never took me in the Town End because he doesn't have great eyesight, and the fun of away days on the train, standing or sitting in crumby surroundings with a really good atmosphere.  GOing in the town end week in week out would somewhat remove my appreciation of the match, as I find the perspective goes when you sit behind the goal.

Exspecially when we're playing like Brazil

I get what Matt means about the perspective but I had forgotten what a good view you get from the Bank.  As you're a bit higher than the TE you seem to get a better picture of what's going on (at the TE end).


Title: The Nationwide fast handclap thing
Post by: mattboyslim on Tuesday, April 24, 2007, 13:00:23
Agreed the TE is a real cave and the bank better, but I've sat on the holt end a few times and I don't really enjoy sitting there - just can't see things like offsides the same as on the side.

The slow 'oh when the reds...' sounds like everyone's drunk and slurring.

I quite like it just once or twice as long as it speeds up after a short while

Can imagine how boring it would be if people kept doing it though!
