@ Fryer - remember, the kids are the future :mong:
I'm afraid that all we have to look forward to is a tricky game v norwich where they will all be singing as one and getting behind their team whilst we remain silent as usual. Could be embarrassing.
I guess I'm the only one who didn't think we were that bad at the time? I was surprised when my sister told me on the phone that she couldn't hear us. Where I was stood, on the far right 5 seats away from them we sang constantly pretty much, I guess it just didn't carry.
The thing with playing Woolwich as well is that it's so emotionally draining. When they score completely against the run of play it takes so much out of you. It's like being absolutely full to the brim of adrenaline for it to be sucked completely out of you. We carried on singing though before half time but the break didn't help. I also think that where they position the away fans makes it harder for the noise to carry around that corner.
I still left the ground with my voice gone.I thought the same about the position being on the corner and how the sound carrys, until I remind myself of other teams that have gone their and all sung in unison, go look on YouTube and there are loads. Basically it was an embarrassing effort, which concerns me more than the result. I've seen many a Spurs team lose, I find it easier to take if we have sung well, in fact it helps me come to terms with losing because it is my mental and physical connection to the team. Oh well "we" gave it our best kinda mentality. But to loose and not make any effort leaves me with a sense of we deserved to get beat because as supporters we let our team down. Shameful.
I still left the ground with my voice gone.
I also agree that there was a lot more women there this year than previous years. There was a 16 year old girl next to me that didn't sing once. That's something that is unavoidable though, everyone earns their loyalty points the same way (hopefully) and has just as much right to attend than anyone else.
I can't believe hat I'm reading! When I went too away games last year which was around 6 I had some cracking days to remember especially oldntrafford and upton park, I seriously don't understand some of our fans! Does anybody have a guess on how many loyalty points will be needed for villa away in the prem?
