hogesar 9,618 Posted March 12, 2009 Tuesday night was the first night i''ve sat in that lower tier corner. Me, a couple of my mates and my girlfriend all went along. Considering the atmosphere was very good around the ground, i was dissapointed that it was only us and a couple of others singing.Fair play, it''s obviously up to everybody themselves if they wish to or not; i just feel a good atmosphere in a stand makes the game a lot better. The only places i could get seats for was this stand for Saturday as well. All i''m saying folks is, don''t be afraid to join in and support your team!OTBC.

[/quote]Well i don''t sit there so i don''t know what its normally like. I think in the corner bit it was probably me and my mates, and then maybe 4 or 5 others at most that joined in with anything. I just think its makes the entire match-day experience a lot better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought it was quite quiet but i do remember a few people trying their best. I also remember sitting at the back of the upper n & p this season. There was a man who had a bad back or whatever and was standing up - no one behind him obviously .Stewards wouldn''t allow it though, which was a bit sad to see!

The stewards are generally very understanding, although I sometimes see how many liberties I can take with staying on my feet after some excitement... the jackets up there are a pretty mellow bunch, though. That was quite possibly me making all the noise – back row of Block Q, that''s generally the noisiest part of the graveyard... [;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

William Darby 0 Posted March 12, 2009 I''m sure if we get a positive result against ''Plimuff'' the atmosphere will get cranked up a notch or two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

May be singing in that corner will also persuade the N&P (River) end of the Jarrold Stand to join in. The Central blocks and those nearest to the opposition already do so.

SitTee 0 Posted March 12, 2009 The quietest place in the ground has got to be the upper tier of norwich and peterborough or the corner stand between N&P and city stand, that is really quiet but some people got a chant going in there on tuesday! Quite remarkable! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quite remarkable![/quote]I have heard a chant out of the upper tier of the Community Stand once. However the quietest place in the ground has to be the MORGUE (aka City or G. Watling) stand. I know of only three live occupants of that stand, Mello Yello, Mr. Tilson and Gunny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JJJJ 0 Posted March 12, 2009 It seems that some people just can''t be bothered to, but it definately helps the atmosphere, and more importantly it seems to help get the players going.In there again for Saturday, just gotta hope some chants get going...

Boyo 0 Posted March 12, 2009 I have a season ticket in that stand, and the reason it is quiet is because there is alot of old people who sit in there. Do you relley expect a bunch of oldies to get up on their feet and sing. When I say old, I don''t mean 50 odd, I mean 70''s and 80''s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
