Title: Loud & Proud Day: Yeovil Town/ Stratton Bank For Orient?
Post by: STFC_Gazza on Monday, March 23, 2009, 21:30:09
Yes that's right Happy Clapping is back!!!! After a long abscence due to take overs, protests and just not being able to organise anything, Loud & Proud will be back in full force on Saturday for the trip to Yeovil Town.

The site of perhaps the best Loud & Proud display we had going back in the day, we will be back on the day with flags and a lot more.

Please bring ticker tape, flags, streamers, anything red and white to the match and help create a great atmosphere at Yeovil.

Yeovil Town have given us permission to go ahead but please do not bring any poles, projectiles or Balloons. Balloons are not allowed as per the video below and by the request of YTFC (this was the example they used).

Only joking. Fair play to you Gaz for getting this organised. Could prove a decisive game and hopefully something like this will be good to spur on the crowd and players alike.

Good work Gaz. No matter what people might say about "happy clappy" support, the displays at Yeovil and City a few years back were top drawer and it really added something to the game

I need to speak to Nick Watkins about doing home games, the flags have come back. Hoping to get the 12th man flag back.... Would love to see again if perhaps the club would open the bank for a fiver for Orient and we do a L&P day then... see if we can get a bumper crowd.

For Yeovil had to wait back and hear from them... We still ahve some L&P money and as much as we get some stick, people donated that money. L&p was set up to create a better atmosphere. OK we missed the ball a bit earlier on but its crunch time!

Am I getting deja-vu. I'm sure I've made a witty reply about there not being town fans 1500 years ago and how would they travel 1500 years into the future anyway, referring to the the fact that "circa" is generally only used for dates.

Was the clever pin of it all, knowing I could do exactly as I've said Michael should do here. Claiming you're wrong even against all available evidence. See I went on to go with the...

Unfortunately that little bit of subtleness seemed to fly a bit over your head, so I've had to mirror your misplaced smugness by revealing the genius foresight in my posts. That's a one giant splattering of bukakke shame that's going to leave you showering for months.

I have asked the club if theres the possibility of opening the Stratton Bank for the Leyton orient match where season ticket holders bring up to 4 guests for £5.00 and the ST holder moves for free to the bank ala the offer for Mansfield a couple years ago. Being nicer weather and a bank holiday I think it could be a little money spinner for the club as well as seeing a bigger gate which will result in more programme/food ssales etc. Also a good way for promoting the "stand buy me" incentive as well as being able to target potential season ticket holders. L&P would provide, flags, balloons etc for the LO match Will let you know what happens as Orient may bring a big crowd (snigger)

The last lot died a soggy death in the electrics cupboard on the TE.

We could wind this up again I suppose but they are quite pricey and we would need to laminate them properly and get some dry storage his time.

It's Red Army Loud & Proud actually. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the name. We want to be loud at matches, we are proud of our club, our team and our fellow supporters, so you critics can just fuck off.

I had the photo of the red and white at Yeovil as my wallpaper for a while. It was brilliant last time the bank was open. The footage of chating Sturrocks red and white army from the town end to the bank is on youtube ;D.

Hope the attendance at Orient is good enough to get a decent number of people on the bank. It'd be a shame if they open it then only a few people go there.

I would imagine the club are looking at safety., costs of stewarding, how many Leyton Orient bring down... If we look at it logically. We will have a gate of about 5,300 town fans with ST's approx, and probably about 500 LO fans on average. Open the bank and those ST holders bring mates for a fiver and its a nice day, could see 8,000, we wont get 10K i dont expect like Mansfield as we are not going for Promotion but... Good to see positive feedback anyway.

Fans’ group Red Army Loud and Proud are calling on all Swindon supporters making the trip to Huish Park to deck themselves in red and white and create a party atmosphere to help continue the team’s recent upturn in fortunes.
Thankfully the weather forecast has improved for tomorrow, so this might be possible. Earlier forecasts were suggesting we might be more "soaked and depressed" than "loud and proud"

Doesn't look like this is going to happen.... Club is holding an easter egg hunt for kids that day. I guess being a bank holiday the club feel they will already have a decent gate paying full price? Not enough time to publicise etc now anyway...

Fair play for trying Gaz, I suppose an Easter egg hunt would generate more revenue than filling the Stratton bank....oh wait.....

Should have tried making it happen Gaz rather than just going on about it on a forum ;).

Can't say I understand why they haven't done it to be honest.

I can sort of see.... At the time it was suggested, Leyton Orient were in the shit and at the time could  potentially brought a few down (although not likely) as it woud have been a big game for each side (when the idea was suggested they look safe now), secondly a bank holiday may bring a bigger gate anyway so I dare say they would rather 7,000 pay full price than 8,000+ paying a fiver each.... Being a bank holiday we will probably get a bumper crowd anyway... Personally it would have been a great way to sell the stand buy me tickets as well if the stand is used.. plus this seasons shirts as more fans are there and lotto gear from this season, more food, people in legends lounge etc... but nevermind! Players have said its great to shoot towards your own fans, would have been a big boost considering we are fighting relegation, although it has not been dismissed as a definate no, it's too late now to really get it going so maybe next season eh?

I only ever get to see the highlights on Virgin - looks like we have about a dozen in the Town End and a minor sprinkling down the side. Can't we get some dummies to fill the empty seats   :) :)

The left hand side of the Town End (if looking from the DRS) is usually more densely populated, but is not seen much by the camera. Still far from full though.

So you haven't learn't all the lessons over the years then?

I agree. Since when did filling the Stratton Bank make going to the County Ground a more enjoyable experience? Oh...

It has a 100% success rate in the last decade, so why not. By the way, why do you have a slightly altered nazi slogan in your name?

That was me. He kept saying things about hoping liberals died so I thought it summed it up. As you're the second person to presume he wrote it then it probably does.

You can't change your own titles.

Perhaps I am an embarassment, I'll happily admit that....

In regards to official Loud and Proud days,

Yeovil away 2006/07 was a massive success in boosting morale etc and was featured in STFC literature etc... We lost but there was hope and a good atmosphere.

Chesterfield home 2006/07 - We won 2-0, 2 goals from Cureton...

Brentford home 2006/07 - 3-1 loss.

Bristol City away 2006/07, Gary Johnson rejuvinated City and we were low in confidence. We didn't lose we drew 1-1 (I think) which sealed our fate to L2


Accrington Stanley away 2006/07 – We drew 1-1 If I remember correctly which again is not a defeat.

Lincoln City away 2006/07 -  we won in front of the Sky Sports TV Camera’s 3-2 I think. This was coupled with a “orange protest” against the old board.
 
Mansfield Town home 2006/07 – Now this was not really designated a L&P day but we had flags etc floating around as it was a good day on the Stratton Bank. This game was not down to L&P so won’t take credit. The board ran a good promotion as suggested for Leyton orient this season and we had the 12th man flag. We could have won promotion that day if Stockport won so the atmosphere was always going to be good.

2007/08 – Nothing was really done due to the takeover/protesting  etc, Do we really try and get people singing and chanting, being happy clappy when the club was 5 minutes from going down the pan?  We weren’t really needed after Fitton & co. came in as there was a feel good factor already after the takeover.

Early 2008/09 – There was some behind the scenes arguments, lack of leadership etc to get things moving. People all wanted to get things going but then nothing was actually organised.

Yeovil Town away 2008/09 – 1-0 loss. No roof on stand. No table cloths,. We were let down by a supplier with red streamers so didn’t really work out, we will try again maybe Rovers at home 12th man flag across the Town End or Don Rogers Stand. Atmosphere will already be electric.

I think to be honest Loud & Proud’s biggest efforts have only really coincided with a poor team on the pitch hence why we have lost a good portion of games when we have done stuff. The ULTRAS were also a big part of L&P in terms of bringing flags, red and white rolls etc. L&P is more about trying to boost the atmosphere. It doesn’t really need a boost when we are winning etc.

We had ideas for a big Don Rogers Flag (The Don in silouette) for the opening of the Don Rogers Stand, supply all fans scarves etc to hold up before games ala Liverpool etc buit the cost was too much. All the money we have to use is either out of our own pockets or donations etc from before/ advertising etc. We are now looking towards next season to see what we can do. Will have a look at fixtures etc when they come out. Ideally would love to team up with the club in some capacity. They have already won accolades for being a family club this season so perhaps we can do something to add to that. Time will tell.

  We actually drew in 06/07 0-0...shame we couldn't have done that recently.
