Title: Town End V Don Rogers
Post by: Colin Todd on Thursday, May 15, 2008, 10:35:44
I dont know where to get my season ticket next season.

How many Town Enders are moving to the Don Rogers or Arkells?

If there is a reasonable number staying in the TE then I imagine I'll stay as well,  but I'll be well hacked off if everyone fucks off, meaning crap view and no atmosphere :x

Hasn't the atmosphere in the townend getting a bit crap anyway? I can't say I went that much this season but the season before it was pretty poor, especially considering it was a promotion year. I can't see it getting any better with cheap DR/Arkells tickets.

Saying that though, I've got a feeling that next year the Town End might be the basis for lots of ticket offers and promotions and stuff. Would make sense. Might help boost the atmosphere for bigger games.

I hope all you regular Town Enders stay in the Town End.

I want to sit down and watch the game, if we get a mobbed with you lot in The Don Rogers you will all be standing up.

KEEP OUT!!

The way I have weighed it up Colin is realistically how many games next year will there be a good atmosphere in the town end 4-5? Is it worth the view in the town end for that amount of games?

The atmosphere in the town end last season was awful.  Sitting in the Arkells it was annoying how the away fans would outsing the TE.  Then I'd come on here and find people patting themselves on the back saying what a great job the TE did today etc.

I left the Town End last year and it was the best decision that was ever made for me

Finally decided I'm migrating to the Don Rogers.

The way I see it is this.

It'll be a bit crap sitting down all game, a bit crap atmosphere. But I figured it'll be just as risky going in the TE for the same reason, assuming a fair few migrate. So may as well go with the better view and facilities.

Whisper it quietly for some hang out here, but I'll miss the people I sit near in the TE. If they all came to the DR en-mass there would be no decision to be made.

Great misunderstood thread titles of our time - saw the topic and thought CT was arranging some kind of pre-season scrap between the two stands to decide which is better, Harry Hill style.

Back on topic, it's bad enough Fred's moved over with his loud Town End ways and peculiar titfers, we don't want any more of you riff-raff jostling us when we're trying to eat our prawn sandwiches

Paul I haven't been a townender for some time, Arkells for the last three seasons, much prefer the view and the half time refreshments.

Well let's hope so. Vol-au-vents are pretty delicate and I don't want them getting crushed up against the foie gras and quails eggs when we get our hampers out because of rough types pushing and shoving

We're going to steal your pic-a-nic baskets. Yogi Bear style.

Yeah Deffo Don Rogers this year for me - Preferred town end before as it was cheaper and better atmosphere but fed up of some of the idiots in there although you prob get them everywhere.

Oh and thats ace Ben.  :D

Yeah the atmosphere in the TE wasnt great most of the time last season, but it wouldnt be really given all the shit that happened and the fact we had nothing to play for for the last 2.5 months

Atmosphere in the rest of the ground was non existant apart from the speed clapping chav corner of the DR, and I'm fucked if I'm sitting near them

TE Pros
Standing up
Potential for atmoshere if enough stay
Have got to know the people around us and have a good laugh

TE cons
Shit view
might be about 2 people there all season
no HT beer
Food queues massive (assuming there is more than 3 people in there)

DR pros
HT beer
Good view
Better food facilities / bogs etc

DR cons
might end up sat next to a nob all season
Sitting down
speed clapping 13 year old chavs

You wait till you hear the pricks in top corner of the DR then. Fuck me its painful listening to them at times.

Whatever you do dont get a ticket near Fatbury!

Im still debating whether to get one or not, i dont know if it is worth it if i cant go to all the home games.

Post by: dell boy on Thursday, May 15, 2008, 11:36:02
And please nobody get a ticket in Row M near the half-way line, I like the peace and quiet there, its easy to get out at the end of the game and nobody stands up in front of me.

Hmmm I can see theres going to be loads of twats who insist in sitting in ""their seats" and less chance for my usual swapping seats at half time sit anywhere approach.

dunno yet. I might just stay in the Town End. No contest on the atmosphere front. Plus the chavs in the Don really annoy me. I had a season ticket there a few years back and although the view is better the atmosphere is really poor. Oh and the seat banging does me head in as well in that stand  :-))(

the townend has always been a bit shit imo.and has slid further.
the don rogers has the best view of the pitch and wins hands down for me.also the shrivvy road had the best atmosphere during the late 80's-the early 90's easily.i dont have a choice where i sit nowadays ,but had a season ticket on the back row of the lower part of the don stand and loved it there for years.

It does get annoying in the DR with the little Chav's who like to try and sit in any seat so they can all sit together, you have to keep kicking them out.

A lot tend to congregate along the back of the DR stand, not so much in the corner, although I think a few of the slightly older Chav's still go over there.

The argument that the atmosphere is pants in the Town End doesn't really stand up because there simply isn't an atmosphere anywhere else...

and as Reg says, you can stand. Staying in the Town End - and getting my first season ticket.

I'm staying Town End - everyone who stays there next year wants to be there for the atmosphere/standing and those who only went there because it was cheap will move, hopefully improving the atmosphere.

I just hope the twats at the front move to the Don Rogers.
