Pretty sure old Les has been in much more intimidating and hostile places than the East Stand at Roots Hall.
Doubt Les will ever loan CK back. I remember him sitting in the East, looking round in disgust at the general abuse. Especially the stuff aimed at CP.....He left after an hour.
If only the dimwit that wrote 'one of the most exciting talents of the EFL' had consulted Shrimpet steve for an educated assessment.
You might be right—hope so !Good luck to a young man who I believe is destined to play in the Premiership.

Haven't we all. The difference is the hostility was towards our own players and manger...Just the sort of place you wouldn't send any of your genuinely promising talent on loan
Cracking deal if so. Any idea where he got that idea from?
Tbh if he had a brain and years of experience he knows that at any club around the country there is going to be abuse when the players are playing badly. I’d wager the East stand at RH is probably one of the more pleasant places to be when the situation is like that. Nothing out the ordinary was happening thenHaven't we all.

Exactly. As much as I hate experiencing it myself when I attend the odd live game, our fans are not unique. Neither are they in the minority. I'd bet a vast majority of grounds have sections of the crowd that are hostile, abusive or at least moaners and over critical. As you pointed out, after the last couple of seasons our crowd overall may have proved to be one of the most patient on balance.Tbh if he had a brain and years of experience he knows that at any club around the country there is going to be abuse when the players are playing badly.

- He's an 18 year old kid, thrown in at the deep end last season when he should have been in the 23's, and people like you have already written him off and heaped the abuse on him. No wonder he's happy to go somewhere where they will nurture his talent, improve him as a player and appreciate him without people like you on his back.Its not lol i just didnt rate him anymore after showing early promise,hes only 18 but looks like hes gone backwards already! He can take hes laziness to Qpr now and we can now bring in players who want to be here,perform,and get us up the league with a good new manager.

Delicate little flower,i hope he was alright?Doubt Les will ever loan CK back. I remember him sitting in the East, looking round in disgust at the general abuse. Especially the stuff aimed at CP.....He left after an hour.

It’s interesting but whenever there are threads which involves abuse of players it is almost always about the East Stand.I'm not so sure to be honest. I attend quite a lot of away games and usually choose to be among the home fans. Although there are always one or two individuals who shout at their players it's rare to hear the amount and severity of the abuse that I've heard at the Hall in recent years. I have found many grounds to be quite pleasant environments with much of the comment humorous or even affectionate. I would single out Exeter, Crewe, Fleetwood, Portsmouth and Walsall as particularly pleasant atmospheres. A bloke at Pompey even returned my wallet when I dropped it and was unaware that I had. (Mind you I bet Fratton Park is a different sort of atmosphere when they are playing Southampton but the abuse would be aimed at the Saints players not their own).
