Great stuff, good luck to the lads n lasses who make some noise and hopefully a few new chants might appear.
Can't wait for my lad to get a bit older and I'll be pushing to move back to a more vocal area ...then again he'll probably won't want to be seen with his old man by then! |  | |  |

Tom and George are going to sing songs?
That should help things... |  |

This started at the beginning of the season and there is a thread about it on another Saints forum.
Its only about 10 or so lads but it’s a start .
You can hardly hear them in block 4 but you can see they are trying and some others in the surrounding block do join in .
I find it strange that someone who never goes can comment on this thread. [Post edited 6 Oct 2023 11:00]

At least Tom & George are making an effort and getting behind the club they support. Good luck to them.
Better than sitting at home online and criticizing everything the club does wouldn't you say ? [Post edited 6 Oct 2023 13:25]

Lets hope they don't bet on you're predictions cos they won't have the dough to go.

I’ll be 10 rows from the back of block 15 tomorrow I shall report back on atmosphere. £60 for 4 of us, that’s cheaper than the cinema. We March on nice and cheap. |  |

Good on you mate, I still can’t quite motivate myself, and the more I think about it, the harder it gets. |  |

We’ll I’ve tried it and won’t be sitting there again, yes they deffo tried to get it going and at times it was good but by the time a screechy voiced woman kept starting the awful Charlie Charlie Charlie Alcarez song and then ooooo. Gavin Bazanu I was left in no doubt it was not for me. Favourite bits the screechy woman loudly saying why are people so annoyed near the end as we got worse and worse and the 2 blokes in front glued to their phone’s throughout.
I just want to sit with people who give a shit but most are f&cking lemons or zombie’s | |

We really need more people to come over and join this initiative. 30 more people week in week out and the section will last into future seasons. You can do your bit!
If you normally sit in the Chapel end, come and give the back of block 15 a go. If your a season ticket holder and fed up of flat atmosphere and moaning - transfer your seat!
Next home game is £20 in Block 15 as opposed to £30 in the other wings/ goals area.
Come and get behind the team and lets kick on!
Tom. BOTC | | | |

This in a nutshell is exactly what's wrong with our support.
We have a generation that think "any noise" is equal to a good atmosphere, so we end up with countless songs about the skates, songs nicked from other clubs, god awful "bantz" and the same song for every player.
One of the main reasons the itchen north was decent before covid is these social media f*cktards were nowhere near it, they by and large stayed in the northam, which let the IN develop it's own culture (way more like the Dell to be honest)
Sadly that got ruined by the new generation of mouth breathing red lodge scopey's moving over and just turning it into the northam lite.
Honestly the best thing that could happen would be for a section that actually just allowed us to have a proper terrace culture again, maybe over 30's only, instead of everything being led by the social media dins.
It's the same reason our away support is on it's f*cking arse.
You can literally predict what the away support will sing before the game,

It might need to be over-40’s, mush.
I seemed to have considerable challenges in getting the over-30’s to take to the Perraud song, as many appeared not to have heard of Talking Heads….. |  |

Singing stupid song doesn’t make you a better supporter. | | | |

Only in Block 15 because it's the cheapest area.
No reason why we both can't co-exist and support in our own way?
If they made the other corners as cheap - sure, we'd be over there. | | | |

On the small chance you are not on a wind-up, I would have to strongly disagree, sir.
If people are prepared to:-
1. Try and get a group together to improve the atmosphere
2. Risk ridicule from mutes who would prefer to provide no support at all for the team
3. Give yourself a headache and hardly any voice for a day after the game due to singing all game
4. Make your hands bleed for a couple of days after the game due to clapping all game whilst singing
Then I doff my cap in their direction.
I have regularly done 2, 3 and 4, but not 1. | |

It was not a wind up
I have sat in this area for over 10 years
I like the area as I can sit and watch the game with my grandchildren don’t see the point of banging on the hoardings etc is supporting the team and singing abusive songs supporting the team | | | |

It’s about trying to create an atmosphere that helps the team.
It is a shame if it impacts on people who would rather not have that near them. Hopefully your grandkids will grow over the years to enjoy the atmosphere.
We do need the ground to be noisier one way or the other. | |

But who’s to say you and your grandson take priority?
We respect your wants and needs by standing at the back. But if you can’t deal with a little bit of noise at the football I suggest you try out the family stand? Not allowed to swear in there. Or a different sport?
Im not paying more for my season ticket that I have to just because you can’t put up with chanting at the football?
We respect your way of supporting. Bit shallow of you not to reciprocate it. | | | |

The holy grail for me is 30,000 Saints fans stood all round the ground all game, making such a deafening racket that the away fans can hardly hear themselves trying to sing.
I went to England v Germany in Euro 2000 in Charleroi and there was such a commotion and racket in the England end that the floodlights behind the goal were shaking. Keegan was manager, noticed it and commented on it at the time. I would love the same to happen at our ground.
Alas, I am clearly in a tiny minority and have to accept the atmosphere such as it is. | |
