Do you remember....

...when the river end used to sing??

 

Used to stand there behind the goal when we couldn`t get squeezed in to the barclay occasionally and always remember "sing up the barclay / sing up the river end ". lots of noise from both ends...like a blooody library now.

Well I was most unfortunate to a half season ticket in the river end a few seasons back and was sat next to a guy who never had a good word to say about the team, I got told off many times for showing my support ie sing and shout and stand up, this guy read the bloody news paper during the match, so I had words with my mate Richard Gough and we have been in lower barclay for 6 years now, best move I ever made.

My early experiences of Carrow Road were standing at The River End in the late 60s and early 70s. It wasn''t a library then, I can assure you!

Modern Day football crowds!!  Just not what they used to be!

It makes me laugh when people say the atmosphere was great yesterday.  When you compare it to the days of terracing it really isn''t!!

Great???

You could have heard a pin drop for most of the match.

These days I think having your ticket for a specific seat has a lot to do with it.  The days before, you could pay at the turnstyle and get in meant supporters could move around the ground if that fancied a change.  So if a few fancied a game in the RE and have a sing song they could,  the crowd now is too static.

Was in the upper river end yesterday and the atmosphere was pretty awful, me and my mate were pretty much the only ones singing and despite being on the very back row some jobsworth steward kept telling us to sit down. They did make some noise on occasions but generally it was like a mausoleum, too many OAPs and kids who just don''t seem to care about generating any atmosphere whatsoever.
