There was one yesterday who was showing an awful lot to the West!!! :stunned:
The one on the far right --- it wasn't a case of "Ron Out", more like "Bum Out"
I went blind and Sarfminster only risked one eye. :smile:

As has been said on here many times the acoustics at Roots Hall are appaling. You cannot hear any noise from the west stand in the east. Yet put a couple of hundred away fans in the north bank and it sounds amazing apart from today when didn't hear Chesterfield at all. Need a ground level microphone in front of the TBV section.

I can assure you there's plenty of atmosphere in the East and I heard nothing from the West today.

It's a good job Mrs RHB doesn't read SZ. I told her she was imagining it. Be quiet please OBL.
Lol, you wanna tell mcnasty to be quiet too then?! :winking:
Not necessary as Mrs RHB wouldn't believe him cos he's a bloke. You, on the other hand......................
Ok, where's Tinks, cos she was standing with us and commenting on it too! Honestly looked like the girl had been given all the left over odd bits of kit, none of which fitted her!

Oh I think everyone with vision in the West noticed it yesterday
Clearly the poor girls underwear was fast "disappearing" - it left nothing to the imagination at all
The problem is - acoustics.
For whatever reason (I have no idea why) noise from The North Bank transmits across the pitch and can be heard by the majority in the ground. The West? It just revolves back inside the stand. Other areas of the ground can see TBV singing and chanting - but hear very, very little. So it is the away fans most people can hear.
When I was younger we had The North Bank as "our end" and Roots Hall had an atmosphere associated with home support. So the club gives the atmospheric stand to opposing supporters and our team has to contend with an almost complete lack of vocal support.
View from the south (and without criticism) upper was it was a very flat atmosphere but who can blame people for not being massively excited after whats been going on of late.
What I really don't buy is the old acoustics excuse, I used to just buy this one until the Essex Senior Cup final where it was half full (at best) of Chelmsford City fans. I was shocked by the noise as it sounded fantastic and I had always thought it couldn't sound like that but that game changed my mind.
The South aren't blameless either, too many moaners etc. You get the odd, 'come on Southend' chant at a corner but that's it really. Should be much better, it has been in the past but these days you barely hear anything.
One thing that I have never understood is why the block directly behind the goal always clap the opposition keeper when he comes to his goal at the beginning of the second half. MADNESS!!!!
Of course there was very good reason for that, whether you like it or not.
