West stand (The blue voice section)

[shrimperton]

West was buzzing last night, reminded ne of the old north bank days

Great atmosphere, shame on the men in orange coats though telling us to sit down every 5 mins

Wonder if they wear those coats around the house, it must give you such a sense of power :p

Have those behind the blue voice asked the club about the possibility of season ticket holders moving permanently to the Blue Voice area? over the last couple of games i've wished I was in the west and being there last night the atmosphere was ten times as good as the East. I agree with those who said last night reminded them of the old days..

We will ask this question on your behalf, but my advice is just ring the club and ask the question...cant see it being a problem

I think it goes without saying that if you **** the opposition supporters off you're doing something right. I felt a bit sorry for them. Oxford were absolute rubbish. We were excellent on the other hand and should and could have had 10 with better finishing.

im gutted i didnt go, even though i really couldnt afford it, would have loved to have been in west stand with the drum if it's like what people have described..
definetly going to change my season ticket for bristol now if it's like that =D

Good for them, it was the drums first outing for 3 years, its in need of repair and was played by someone who has never used a drum in his life!

It will sound a lot better when repaired and used by a pro...

Anyone with talent fancy being TBV drummer every game?

 

[Mr. Benedict]

I thought the drum worked well last night, it may have annoyed the Poxford fans but perhaps they should pay more attention to the fact their team was so poor that we should have beaten them 8-0. ;)

 

[C'mon you Shrimpers]

I thought it was a fantastic effort. The songs will come and as people become more confident they'll be a variety. I feel the better ones are the call and response songs like Why don't you give me an S etc and when the Blues go marching on. The songs directed at the away fans especially if there is 30 of them are a bit pathetic IMHO.

Haha what a bunch of sour, bitter c***s...should we write and apologise for disturbing them? :hilarious: Well done Smiffy and all on a) creating a fantastic sounding atmosphere, and b) pi**ing off the pretentious prawn sandwich eating Oxford 'support' ;)

 

[Southminster_Shrimper]

Worked perfectly then IMO......

Well done Smiffy!

Haha, thanks but I have no rythym!

Who fancies picking up the sticks then?

Come on, dont be shy, this is a major part in increasing the atmosphere...

 

[C'mon you Shrimpers]

Listen Smiffy we don't want Jason Bonham there. The more amateurish (in the true sense of the word) the better.

That would be zone member, scamps.

Brilliant effort fellas! 2nd half was very good from you guys and even managed to get the east going to at times. The drum sounded very "dead" IMO and the 'skin' obviously needs tightening but you wont want it too tight as otherwise it will mute the fans. How it was last night, you could actually hear the drum in the background and the fans, first and foremostly and thats the important thing. You dont want it the other way round, that is for sure. Good work though and the East Blacks may have been a better place for the BV last night as it would have most certainly got the South and East stands involved, whereas where you are at the moment, its rather "out of the way" ...

[Smiffy]

Kev, the drum needs some tlc for sure.

We cannot use the drum anywhere but where it was last night unfortunately.

That would be zone member, scamps.

BY the way how r the blisters this morning lol :hilarious:

 

[sufc_stu]

Just out of interest..

Could those of you in The East, South and Southern end of West Stand hear the drum clearly this evening?

Nope couldnt hear any noise coming from the West ;-)

Smiffy I cant believe you was doing the drum last night, you used to be cool now you’re just a Shrimper Nerd!!
