My mate normally points at his seat he's had for ages and says "here". Myself, I've only been back there for eleven years after I was stuck doing night shifts.
Yeah to be fair I do think for a lot it is just a laugh remember the first time I heard it (Fulham at home I was in the Billy Wright lower) it got me really angry at first but the southbank soon did follow it up with 'we love you Steve Bull we do' (I think some had realised how pathetic it sounded).My mate normally points at his seat he's had for ages and says "here".

It's only for a laugh anyway
Always preferred away games anyway.
The only problem is that sound takes time to travel so if three sides of the ground sang the same song it wouldn't be in unison and the effect would be confusing. This happened at either the Bolton or Sunderland game and I posted on here that it sounded strange. The South Bank started off followed by the Steve Bull and then the North Bank and it petered out into a mess with the South Bank being ahead all the time.
Our support is at least the equal of any in the land. Yes, there have been times when players have been treated unfairly but this happens any place where the support is passionate surely?
They park over on that side of the ground, I reckon.
Yes I see your point and agree with your comments. The only thing I can think is that a fair portion was of those were Corporates from the WV1 Bar and Resteraunt. The possible cause is the problem regarding the Car Park which s closed for exiting cars from 15 mins prior to the match finishing and then for between 15 to 30 mins afterwards. Meaning those with who desire to get home as soon as possible make an early exit rather than sit in their cars going nowhere. When the car park is eventually open it takes ages to get off the car park as cars edge their way to the exit point jostling for position and in doing so make any orderly departure impossible. Not that I would ever leave before final whistle as I consider that to be an insult to our team. It may not be the only reason but it is certainly one that I know definitely happens.
Could be, but both side stands don't have a car park so surely there are almost as many car drivers in there?
I used to have get back to the ditch mate, and then a bus back to Winyates, but I'm pretty sure most of the North Bank don't live there! There are always those who need to bob off early but it seems endemic in the North Bank this season. It's really weird because, although they haven't been particularly vocal since a few years before the rebuild, they always stuck around as long as everyone else.
So "we're all in it together" but you don't go anymore for a frankly ridiculous reason?
No I prefer away day fans and easier access routes. Sorry you are far better than me
Disagree if done loud enough it can be done across all 3 or 4 stands in unison.
How many aways you done this season out of interest?
Yes mate, go to most away games and prefer them to home games much like yourself.
The lad and Dad who sit next to me (North Bank lower) leave early every game. They watch last 5 / 10 minutes on TVs in concourse before leaving sharpish. I suspect that there's a lot doing this. Need to switch off the TVs.
Sound mate fair play.
Billy Wrighters probably park over at West Park but I don't know about Steve Bullers. South Bankers use the pub first and then either walk or use the train.
Volume isn't the issue, it's the speed of sound which is. By this I mean that when the North Bank hear what the South Bank are singing the South Bank are already singing a couple of syllables on so when the North Bank join in to sing what they think is at the same time they're already behind the South Bank. The result is a confusion of resonating sound. You just have to see a cricket ball being hit from the boundary to understand how this will happen.
I was doing the same as you in league 1, not out of principle but because I live in the south and if I'm gonna travel I'd rather have a good **** up and a good sing song. That season I went to 10 aways and fewer home games. But then I missed the Wolves pubs, a good ale in the Lych Gate and a rowdy time in the Hogshead afterwards.
Oh i am Sorry
It's a battle to get to the bar but after that Ipswich game the atmosphere was amazing. There was a fairly short lad stood on his seat orchestrating things, leading a few good renditions of 'I was born...', OUAT, and all the Stevie Bull songs. My brother got a video but it's mainly of the attractive girls sitting next to us.
I do, has this got anything’s g to do with the discussion?
