This. It's a different crowd these days, for a while actually, probably from the start of the all seater Brittania in 2007, coupled with another relegation and the hopelessness that came with it. To watch the match with all your mates became a hassle to organise - really can't remember more than three of us being together at the Brit for a game whereas in the 'old days' of the Vic and pay on the day we would often be close to a dozen meeting up in the pub before and end up standing and singing watching the game. But that's what the all seater stadium was about wasn't it? Both of these. Can't stand up because you upset some little love. Can sing dodgy lyrics because you upset some little love. Can't go for a piss because you upset some little love. Can't buy a fucking ticket on the day for cash with your mate because you upset some little computor. Can't rack up pissed in case you upset some little love. Dick head stewards. Dick head rules and regulations. GD And dick head 'supporters'.

From where i sit in the upper tier. Near the middle. I can hear the south stand a lot each game. The boothen obviously louder when in full flow and used to see seddon stand joining in with the singing few years back but not so much nowadays. As for where i sit we had a sing song last season at the last home game as derek passed around his hip flask full of special mix. Never again as i found myself acting rather ridiculous

Different demographics of support these days we've lost lots of proper die hard fans who can't stand modern football, lots of these hard-core support were looked on with disdain. But you reap what you sow I suppose This. It's a different crowd these days, for a while actually, probably from the start of the all seater Brittania in 2007, coupled with another relegation and the hopelessness that came with it. To watch the match with all your mates became a hassle to organise - really can't remember more than three of us being together at the Brit for a game whereas in the 'old days' of the Vic and pay on the day we would often be close to a dozen meeting up in the pub before and end up standing and singing watching the game. But that's what the all seater stadium was about wasn't it? Good post that. The game is well and truly up for anyone who once enjoyed a more edgy match day experience. The Prem has gone mainstream and has been on that path since Gazza's tears in Italia 90 in all truth.

Both of these. Can't stand up because you upset some little love. Can sing dodgy lyrics because you upset some little love. Can't go for a piss because you upset some little love. Can't buy a fucking ticket on the day for cash with your mate because you upset some little computor. Can't rack up pissed in case you upset some little love. Dick head stewards. Dick head rules and regulations. GD And dick head 'supporters'. Yep. Don't like Ballet GD

We never went looking for mither or caused any trouble. It was all about enjoying the weekend, meet in the Staff of Life or Grays Corner, joke about the Friday night before, have a few pints then get down to the Vic and support the lads. It didn't matter who we were playing, usually unfashionable sides during those Division 3 days, that's partly my point, the supporters now weren't attending regularly then and the supporters then aren't going regularly now, if they are they can't watch together. Hence the lack of atmosphere.

Must admit I'm a pay-per-match supporter rather than a season ticket holder and I book South Stand if I fancy a bit of atmosphere since that is the only place you might find some and Main Stand Upper Tier if I fancy a good view put together with a light snooze
