IMO the crowd would've turned on the players a lot earlier in the game under AVB or Sherwood than they did yesterday. I don't think many people would have as much of a problem if we'd battered West Broms goal, Foster got MOTM and we'd lost to switching off at a set piece, it'd be spursy and disappointing but at least have a go.
See I'd like to be able to agree but I was at the Newcastle game last year where we absolutely battered them but just couldn't put the ball in the net... Yet the atmosphere was shite and there was a lot of booing at the end.
 
I get that 1882 can't do every game... but at EVERY game there must be a few hundred (thousand pushing it?) that WOULD want to sing for 90+ mins... would it really be beyond the club to allocate even half a block, towards the back, where everyone knows that if you book there, you're booking to sing... and if you don't like it, there are 50+ other blocks to sit in!
They do it for the kids/Chirpy's club section... why not the Growd-Ups?

Exactly what I'm on about, all we need a place where there aren't too many season tickets and we'll camp there, can use social media as a way of organising it. You would obviously have to book very quickly (and maybe have bronze membership) but frankly I don't see it as an issue which would stop this kind of thing from happening.
 
My ST seat is in the Paxton and it is mostly like a morgue in there. You get the odd voice singing now and again but so rare. If I could sit somewhere else, I definitely would move!
 
Reading through this thread it is clear to see that even if you disagree about the performance on the pitch by our players most of us agree that vocal support is needed. Now i myself love a decent atmosphere and over the last couple of years it has got so bad that i will pass on most matches if i cant get my ticket in the south lower or first 2 blocks of the shelf. Being a member however i know you can easily get a ticket where you want with a bit of effort on the day. So this whole lets organise a block or two and book early for the fans who want to sing is definitely worth a try, nothing worse then forking out for a game and being surrounded by miserable twats or newcomer tourists. Unless we ourselves act on this the lane will be a shithole like it has been for the last two season, apart from the odd game.

The top corner of the park lane always has plenty of tickets available. Block 37 I think. I know it is not the best block but get a group, make some noise and it could get the park lane lower / first few blocks of the shelf going.

I usually buy up there If I can't get south lower.
 
Maybe it's time to pump the sound of cheering through speakers for the full 90mins. Pre-record some songs in there, maybe some vile abuse every now an again, but it would almost be a backing track to the real fans in the stadium. If the away lot get a bit excited well just turn it up and drown them out.
Apollo creed had a similar thing when he was training for the rematch in rocky 2. Ps he got jobbed in that fight should have been stopped after a couple of rounds.
 
Was with 1882 in block 35 just now, got to admit, still not easy to get involved even with the mass support. Problem is density, unless your in the thick of it it's easy to feel isolated and the songs break down.

Also doesn't help that when block 35 became available it seemed to be bought up by 12 year olds.
 
From within the block it seemed pretty loud... Though a lot of the songs were really fragmented. Hard to judge what it sounded like to the rest of the ground though. Think the fact that the Forest fans were quite vocal made a difference - unusual situation for 1882

They were very loud, hurt my ears. Did anyone see this wally?

They looked more like the poddington peas than Cloughy impersonators.
