bringbackchippy 51 Posted November 9, 2016 The Snake Pit used to be full of boisterous, loud, in your face lads, all rushing down to the front when we scored to greet the scorer, giving the stewards a hell of a time! The atmosphere was brilliant. Problem was after a pathetic long drawn out enquiry into alleged incidents at a certain home game, a lot of those lads got wrongly banned, letting shirties and wig wearing numpties to infiltrate and take the vacant seats, thinking they had made it and were the dogs bol..cks.Now the shirties want to sing OTBC (wrongly) about 20 times a game or Ye army, the existing Snake Pitters are fed up with it, the songs are repetative crap, thats why the atmophere in the ground has died, the Snakepit died years ago!

The Unsullied 0 Posted November 9, 2016 The snake pit and lower Barclay are a pale shadow of what they were like in years gone by Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,232 Posted November 9, 2016 Well I can say that there''s a group of three young guys who stand the entire game in the lower Barclay and all they do is on their phones all game.Gambling no doubt, no time for the game.It''s definitely worse and I doubt with the current comfortable nature of the club it won''t improve.

Coq au vin 0 Posted November 10, 2016 Surely it''s better some fans than none. And if you''re so concerned with the atmosphere why don''t you generate some yourself instead of sitting on your ar5e moaning about it on a football forum. Whenever I go and wherever I sit, drunk or sober, I''ll make a racket. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
True Grit 26 Posted November 10, 2016 I as a scout need to be alert at all times, analysing every subtle nuance and idiosyncrasy of a number of players, in real time - do you think I''m able to do this at a high level if I have a bunch of yobs, charged up on high velocity energy drinks (and other even less wholesome substances) mucking about, running amok and mobilising their selves to the front every time the ball goes into the box?

Coq au vin 0 Posted November 10, 2016 Not everything''s about you Gritty. Besides, I thought you''d have access to ''All Areas'' and could sit where you desired including the executive suite? Surely the field of vision from such lofty heights would help you to identify targets easier and the warmth from the central heating (at this time of year especially) would aid in keeping your digits pliable to maintain maximum velocity on your Bic and Moleskin?

Being a scout is about blending into your surroundings, and not drawing attention to yourself. I often have to method scout in order to keep as low profile as possible. You think Concord are going to want to see the likes of me at Thames Road on Saturday, compiling a report on their most talented prospect? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
