Home or Away?

Which is the better atmosphere for you guys ?

Away days are always better!

[Griffo]

Away. The whole day is good, visiting new grounds and new places. Most people that travel away tend to be noisier and more likely to stand too. Our away support tends to be pretty good for standing but sometimes, at Sheff Wed for example, 80% were sat. Our home support is still good compared to most other home grounds though.

It's good but Neighbours has got a cracking storyline going at the moment.

[Bucks Saint]

Away no question. Concentration of people who are arguably among the most passionate and generally the most vocal* supporters. Personally I dont think it has very much to do with whether we sit or stand, I can sing and shout throughout a match whichever I am doing, but it is easier when you have a good number of people nearby doing the same

 

 

* see my other comments a few weeks back - re away support not being as vocal as it used to be, more people seem to spend a lot of time and money to travel to an away game and then sit there in silence for some reason

away is always better,for atmosphere,day out,generaly we get behind the team more,as you always want to be better than the home fans.the one thing about saints away following is that it consists of alot of older saints,and therefore most want to sit,its better when its unreseved seating at away grounds.anyway roll on notts counts,sing loud and proud and wifm

Aways for sure, lets hope this saturday the `sitting down brigade` aren't sat near me, sitting down at an away match just doesn't help the atmosphere in my opinion.

[lambertsrightleg]

sitting down at an away match is absolutely shocking. why? just why?

[Dr Who?]

I prefer away games and being based in Cambridge is a great place to go to them.... apart from the South and the South West.

 

Always have prefered away games and the further from Southampton the better as you tend to get the hardcore supporters. Just the whole day is better.

 

I travel down to home games but expect to win these, and away games the whole thing about visiting a new ground is good and if you win even better!!

[adethorne]

AWAY............without a doubt. Tend to agree with above posts though why do some travel all that way only to sit in silence, they can do that from the comfort of their settee.

[Lighthouse]

Depends largely on which away day we're talking about. Open air stands like Swindon and Yeovil are pretty s**t and never get much of an atmosphere. Whereas places with an old school tin roof like Roots Hall and Hillsborough got quite an atmosphere going, in the away end at least. Can't conclusively say which I prefer. There good away grounds are better than home games, the s**t ones are worse.

If that's the case you should probably join them

Away.

[Saint_Jonny]

Away for sure. Unless its reserved seating and you get plonked in with a load of codgers that want to sit for the whole game. Hate that. Unreserved I can turn up, look for the singy looking types and head for them!

HOME.

Just love the serene tranquility offered by the Kingsland fraternity !

Where else can you sit quietly reading Chekov during the half time break ??

[surrey1saint]

Certainly bad at Huddersfield,I agree.The support that is.

[JRM]

"What else are you gonna do on a Saturday? Sit in your ****in' armchair ****in' off to Pop Idols? Then try and avoid your wife's gaze as you struggle to come to terms with your sexless marriage? Then go and spunk your wages on kebabs, fruit machines and brasses? **** that for a laugh! I know what I'd rather do. "whoever saints are playing" away, love it! "

A no brainer. It's always more fun playing away.

[Tony F]

There's away grounds where you can watch the football, support your team and generate some sort of atmosphere.......and then there's Brighton!!!

 

Whether we go up, down or sideways this season, there's one piece of REALLY good news for next season - guaranteed not to have to go to the pooh pile of a ground that is the Withdean, sit half a mile behind one goal, right down low; see almost nothing; hear barely half the action; struggle to generate any sound....and probably get wet to boot.

 

It's quite simply crap...(so bad, in fact, that I got a Home End, mid-pitch ticket last season. At least I had a clue what was happening in the match!)

 

Oh - and you gotta stand with your back to the wall if you go for a pint down town :-)

[saintrich]

Prefer home games mostly.

Away days!

 

Especially if I'm stood next to some nutter in a Bananaman costume at the Hawthorns!

What goes on tour, stays on tour. Up the saints.
