I think that's where the moaning mentality was incubated, shouting at Russell was their favourite pastime, can't actually abide the stand side, but each to his own.

Personally, at games, I seem to go catatonic, but am actually using a Zen technique to channel my energy. People might have noticed Leam and Toddy have better halves when on the Whinney Hill side, it was no coincidence Leam was sent off on the stand side last season, (transmitting inner calm is a side effect). Again, each to his own.

The official line from the FA on attendances is that no analysis is worthwhile till well into October, or as Jack Barratt put it, "there's no panic, it's still Accy holidays."

There's a few comments on here about people in the main stand and I agree that there should be more noise coming from there but don't tar us all with the same brush. Me and my family always sit in the stand and regularly go home with sore throats from shouting, I've also been known to sing in there although I admit I have had a few funny looks from those around in the past

As for not being as many at away games, I would have loved to have been at Stockport on Friday but simply could not afford to go there and be at the Notts Forrest game on Monday, had to choose one or the other and the cup game won.

Yes bring back the drum, certainly the atmosphere is not the same without it. At Stockport they had a drum and plenty of noise. Its no coincidence that there is still no bar at the clayton end and this has an effect on the lack of noise/singing.

I've only been watching Stanley for a few years now and only get to about 10 games in the season, mainly away, as I live in Somerset. I've always enjoyed the atmosphere at every game and always get goose bumps as the team comes out.
I know the Fraser Eagle Stadium isn't the best looking ground around, but again I love going and always end up meeting and chatting to new people. It really is a friendly club!!
The Drum, I love it! Although can understand how it could annoy people. I've been close to it at a few games and ended up with ringing in my ears.
Everyone has their own way of supporting the team, nothings going to change that. We're all there to support the team and hopefully see them win. On that we're all together!!

ps. Managed to persuade my wife it was a good idea to drive up to Stockport on Friday. Longest journey ever, do'nt think we went faster than 40mph all the way. But well worth it just to see that goal.

Hope to see a few of you at the next game, I need to start learning some of the songs!! Any chance of some words, there were some posted last season, but I can't find them.

Take Care
Worzel

Out of order, PM sent as I refuse to get into a slanging match.

Here you go Worzel this site was posted an age ago. Some of the songs are now woefully out of date ( Rory...? ) but still it gives some of the classics

Couldn't really understand what your point is and I think putting things into perspective would be a good thing, but we'll leave it at that as I really can't be bothered.

That is the point I did put things into perspective but I'm sorry I did not give you any details.

Did we need the drum today, no atmosphere very quiet. The crowd only came to life when the crowd figure was announced (3045 my ar*e) and when we scored twice (bad liner).

Me too - couldn't believe the gate figure announced as it looked nearer 2000 than 3000. Maybe they are trying to head Coley off from another blast about poor numbers from Accy, as Rochdale certainly did their bit

John_Timmins · 26-08-2006, 19:54

definatly more people on today, terrace felt alot more busy as well there was plenty of away fans
