dellboypete Posted 12 April, 2011 Share Posted 12 April, 2011 A bit late but I couldn't be bothered to add it onto the post-match thread. I got a ticket in the south stand, on the left of the saints fans, and happened to be in the middle of the the lowest form of pond life from the east end of london. I know this area reasonably well as both my daughters have lived in Bethnal Green in the past but it was an eye opener sitting in the middle of them (made the hard cases in the northam seem like very pleasant people!!). Luckily I managed to move to an end of row seat. I went armed with my camera but obviously it would have looked a bit odd if I'd been taking pics of the saints all afternoon. Here's my video from the end of the game- the saints fans were awsome all game, and even though the "locals" thought they were robbed of two good goals (:lol::lol:), and that the ref was crap (I loved the saints chant about clattenberg - "premier league - having a laugh"), they really were impressed with our following and said it was the best all season including arsenal in the cup.

EastleighSoulBoy Posted 12 April, 2011 Share Posted 12 April, 2011 We had a chat with an Orient fan in a bar at Waterloo. He said that he and his mates were well impressed with our following and that we were louder and more consistent than even the Arsenal fans. That last bit didn't surprise me really!

DaveyR Posted 12 April, 2011 Share Posted 12 April, 2011 Can't say it's too much of a compliment being better than the arsenal fans. They were shi-te at the 2003 cup final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry the Badger Posted 12 April, 2011 Share Posted 12 April, 2011 Can't say it's too much of a compliment being better than the arsenal fans. They were shi-te at the 2003 cup final. To be fair, at the time I think the competition meant a hell of a lot more to us than it did to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonsaints1 Posted 12 April, 2011 Share Posted 12 April, 2011 What i found strange was that before and after the match, Saints fans seemed to take over the whole area outside-with no Orient fans in evidence anywhere-yet inside, they were more impressive than any of the 10 or so away grounds i've been to!

thesaint sfc Posted 12 April, 2011 Share Posted 12 April, 2011 Louder than Arsenal fans? f*cking hell. That's a bit of an insult. That's like saying we were louder than a mouse. I f*cking hate Arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
