Selhurst Park by contrast is extremely noisy and the noise is caused in the main, by a relatively small amount of their fans, stuck away in a little corner of the ground, well away from the opposition fans!

The main difference between their small amount of fans to our larger quantity of fans in the Canton, is that they've found a quite simple and catchy repetetive tune to blast out, whilst we are too focused on the Jacks, which is boring and doesn't inspire the majority of our fans to keep blasting out!!


We ver very rarely sing about the jacks in the canton!!! :roll: one solution which I'd in our control is to all singers to sit by the away fans in 116/117 :thumbup:

The club want us to have a better match day experience, there's one easy solution and they know it, they just choose to ignore it. Whoever is in charge wanted to wipe out the intimidation factor from Ninian Park that we had for many many years by keeping the vocal fans on the complete opposite side of the stadium, and they've succeeded. They only care about keeping the away fans happy now.


If we get enough of the younger lads to relocate to 116/117 next to the away fans then we can still achieve this. Somebody needs to take this in and I am happy to have a go if it means the atmosphere returns. I moved from this area as I was constantly told to sit down and it's hassle free in canton but we need to be next to away fans and I am moving back to this area. Yes I will sit but stand up when I need to. :thumbup:
