The Snakepit

Recommended Posts

The way the Snakepit is portrayed at matches before the singing of "On the Ball City" by the announcer ie ........ and the Snakepit! as if fans there are the hub of support and the way they appear to believe they are, I wondered where they all were on the evening of the Bury match last week?    About 3 people sitting in that area!

There was some kind of problem with the online booking, apparently it was showing as sold out.

Without the Snakepit, the atmosphere at Carrow Road would be awful. Why people choose to have a go, I really can''t understand.

Well, that does sound like a schoolboy comment - Sir, Sir, they keep standing up when they shouldn''t. Get a life.

A very good point Myra. It''s always annoyed me how they do that.If he''s announcing the areas of the ground in order he should call the Snakepit before the Barclay, which as we all know, (excluding many in the snakepit) is both the noisiest area and the long standing hub of our support.

They seem to think that they are the ''Holy Grail'' of supporters. The Barclay was in existence long before the Snakepit!

Actually I know a fair few people who regularly sit in the Snakepit and none of them follow any of the generalisations given. For starters that is where my mother and her friend sit when she attends when her friends son cant make it.

Both teachers, very vocal as you can imagine, when using their ''outside voices''!

The others are family chaps and work hard enough but not really from working class backgrounds.

None are burglars. Just die hard NCFC fans. I went with them once, went to the Queen of Iceni first and this woman''s son and a couple of his friends were getting chants going in there, for fun, but it was brilliant.

[quote user="crispeduk"]Thanks for info re. online booking, wondered why it was so quiet in there.[/quote]Yeah, it annoyed me, I ended up in the Jarrold, and would much rather have been somewhere a bit livelier.

"The grumbling kind of passed for noise, of sorts."

Sometimes, just rarely, you can hear emotion in their voices.

A rare sight indeed.

Most of you on here, have''nt got the balls to sit in the Snake pit, perhaps ruffling your fleece lap blankets is the most noise you hear on a Matchday!!

the snake pit is an excruciating embarrassment, i''m sure in there minds eye its occupants are some sort of super ultras who let of flairs and bounce up and down arms linked singing highly provocative songs of hate...the reality is a bunch of seemingly simple folk  who''s most daring feet is standing up until they are told to sit down, and every week some pleb has a gut full of p1ss takes his turn to be chucked out to much feigned anger from his compatriots who soon forget about him and get back to being really naughty and standing up and being cheeky to the stewards  [:)]

One of the 3 must have been Rob Butler then, as he often refers to the fact that he is in the Snakepit on matchdays in his Radio Norfolk post match phone ins.
