Breaking News North Bank OPEN v Accrington **LETS FILL IT**

[Richard Hearn]

If you've got a better insight into who is and who isn't a disruptive influence on the dressing room then perhaps you should offer your thoughts to the players you are accusing.

I know as much about this as you or 99.9% of this forum do. Diddley squat! It's all rumour and innuendo but it doesn't stop others making 2+2=5 so why shouldn't I?

Also the whole matchday experience is better in the north bank with a better atmosphere as it does get boring in w block especially when we attack the south stand goal. And I thought the view of both goals is a million times better then in w block the only problem is that is that it's miles away from the bar. And smiffy you missed a great session with the Milan fans in the railway last night

Did we exchange numbers? maybe a trip over to Milan?

 

[Calvin Candie]

Can someone explain what hurdles the club have against us having the north bank ? Extra police, stewards or cleaners ?

Football licensing really - Jobbo tells me it would cost the club an extra £300 a game to have us in there - I bet I could do a bucket collection each game and get 300 easy

There trying to sort me out a ticket for arsenal tonight but I doubt they will manage one. And we exchanged numbers and emails and they kept banging on about coming over for the Milan derby in April, claudio can get tickets in the Milan end behind the goal. And flights are currently £100 and stay at his house, so me and rich and whoever else wants to come is more then welcome ! . They also are gonna email me pictures of the blue voice flag at the arsenal game and at the San Siro. They were a cracking group of lads who could probably out drink you Scott

Is that for extra stewards? If people are paying full whack to go in there and it brings and extra 30 people to the game (even at £10 a go) the costs are covered.

IMO a bucket collection would be wrong, people pay enough.

 

[Up the Shrimpers]

Did anyone know the Milan fans were coming or did they just turn up as 'tourists'.

 

[GregStarz]

Also maybe less stewards will cut costs, did we really need so many last night?

 

[leeblue]

just a thought on getting a decent idea of potential numbers, wouldnt a survey at a game (all supporters in one place) be the way to go, online surveys and forum polls not always ideal for quantative results

No, especially when all they did was run around like headless chickens when the smoke bomb went off.

 

[Calvin Candie]

They planned there weekend before they come. Saturday they went barnet - Rotherham which they said was awful and on Sunday they went fulham-wolves and they got the train down to us on the Monday and watched the game in the north bank and they said we have the best atmosphere.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Can I just say thank you to everyone singing in the North Bank.

If it costs £300 to do it every home game, this is a far better investment in improving the matchday experience at Roots Hall than any amount of cheerleaders, music playing over the PA etc.

North bank last night

Thought the atmosphere improved ten-fold last night so a big well done to everybody that made an effort. It even reminded me of the old days. Anyone see the Italians (in town for the match against Arsenal tonight) singing down the front? Think they were well impressed, even if they did raise a few eyebrows. Bumped into groups of Norweigians and Germans, too. Hope we can look at getting the North bank opened longer-term, pleased not everybody abandoned the west stand as well, could see a bit of banter developing between the two.

Well done to you all.

@Mike_Timms85
@ScottWallace_ yea u's all made a huge difference! Helped us push on!

@TheMarkPhillips
@ScottWallace_ Was great noise and support mate

 

[BLUEBLOOD]

Funny how everyone thought the smoke bomb was brilliant last time :whistling:

As for the singing i thought The North Bank were excellent last night, i can honestly say i hardly ever hear W block but i guess thats because they are signing "forwards" whereas i'm in Q block so not in the line of fire

Oh and the wind was gusting towards the South too so that would've helped :smiles:

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

@Mike_Timms85: @NorthBankSUFC @scottwallace_ yea definitely, all the players thought how much of a difference it makes! Thanks for singing non-stop!!

 

[BLUEBLOOD]

Best atmosphere in years, it reminded me of the days I used to stand in their especially Fiorentina at home!

We've never played Fiorentina at home

:tumbleweed:

Come on Mr Blueblood call yourself a fan what about the home friendly in 1970.

Ah, a welcome return to unreserved seating.

Obviously doesn't work for sell outs or near sell outs but it would for most games. Gives you the opportunity to sit next to who you want to on the day ..... and equally importantly to not sit near someone you don't want to !

Hear! Hear!

Always been my biggest gripe about allocated seating. Unreserved gives you a chance to watch the game with a group of mates without all having to buy your tickets at the same time to make sure you're together.

Apologies Mr Anorak :raspberry:
