I thought the crowd (lower north) were magnificent today. Letting out a bit of frustration at the end certainly with a few moronic boos but for the best part of 90mins it was very passionate and vocal.
Add on Edit: I think most sensible fans can see at least we are not hopeless as well as not winning. I’d be more worried if we didn’t have any excellent individual performers at all but we really do have some quality gamechangers in our team who absolutely look the part [Post edited 21 Aug 2021 22:19]

It was good and it’s great being back.
But please can we have one group start the singing. At one point there were at least three different songs for Bonne being sung at the same time by different sections. |  | | |

I sit just to the left behind the goal in the lower North and would say only about 10-20% of people were singing, it's a far cry to how it used to be. The 4 blokes next to me (actually standing where my seat is) where decked out in town gear but barely made a sound. | | | |

is that not their choice though?
Not everyone goes to football to sing etc, maybe to just watch the game, clap good play / goals etc
I sit roughly halfway between the North and South and have to say the South was very very quiet, even when there was a good noise being started
It kind of get going but never takes off around the rest of the ground
The noise for both our goals was excellent |  |

Magnificent is a stretch, but it was much better. Need to keep going for 90 minutes, whereas most looked like needed to be subbed off after 75 yesterday. |  | | |

Magnificent is stretching it in my opinion.
As has been said, there was a distinct drop in noise in the second half when it was clear that we were struggling a bit on the pitch. I also can't get my head around how singing anti-Delia songs (at 2-2) helps motivate the players but hey ho.
It seems that the SBRL in particular now includes some who are there purely because it is considered trendy. Four guys sitting next to me turned up 10 minutes after the game had started and went back down to the bar (I assume) 15 minutes before half time. During the odd 20 minutes they were actually in their seats they didn't sing once or even clap. Two of them spent the majority of the time looking at their 'phones.
The point that I'm making is that just being in the SBRL does not make you (or me) any more or less special than anyone else. We are not better or more loyal supporters than anyone else purely because of where we sit. |  | | |

Atmosphere at the start of the 2nd half was absolutely dead and despite the roar of encouragement after the 2nd equaliser the whole ground descended into moaning and anticipating a mistake to whinge about for the last 15 mins or so.
For me that was the thing to complain about the crowd for rather than the boos at the end. |  |

I really tried to keep it going in the lower North second half after the equaliser, a few joined in.
Better than Morecambe despite being 1500 less | | | |

It was an improvement on Morecambe, but still not great.
Perhaps after so long away we all just need time to gel. |  | | |

If you don't want to sing and get involved in creating an atmosphere then you shouldn't be in the North Lower. | | | |

We want players who'll run through brick walls for the club, but have fans who reckon they love the club and come to sit in silence and say "well, that's my right". Does my head in. |  |
