Title: Atmosphere was shit last night

Well dissapointed. There seemed to be a hush across the crowd in the 1st half.

I dont want to ever hear it like that again!

I thought it was a great atomosphere, considering there was only 5500 people there....Where i was sat (Nationwide, near the Stratton Bank) it was noisey anyway....Couldnt here the Townend that often though to be honest....

Think you need about 8000 in the CG to get anything approaching atmosphere.

 Its to be expected for a mid week fixture against opponents who don't bring many.

Agree with Reg to an extent.

I think people were trying.  I could hear the NW end and a few in the Arkells up at the back.  The TE wasn't as loud as it can be but did make an effort.  That's about as much as we can ask at the moment.  The sound just vanishes off into thin air though, with a few more inside it just notches it up a little bit.

There haven't been many seasons in 20 years with crowds at this level, so we've all come to expect it to be louder when we are doing well.  I think for a team thats been in the bottom 4 for what seemed an eternity, it's been pretty damned good since October.

Agreed. Its been good. Its all about being determined though.

You just chant and sing and chant some more, and eventually it will catch on. We didnt make the effort to go near the Jills last night, because we thought the police would be looking to nick people for farting. But if another team is on the bank this season we will be there, and loud too.

See below.

No comment PM.

No not under the thumb just made a business decision, surprisingly though she's now up for the forest game and she detests football!!  Good on her!
