Re the atmosphere. The noise didn't take off until the second half and was sparked by some poor refereeing, which riled everyone- particularly the blatant deflection by the defender resulting in a goal kick rather than a corner. That one was directly in my line of sight. The positive feedback between crowd and players then commenced, so perhaps the ref did us a favour in the end? On other issues, Greene was clearly exhausted before he was substituted and I felt for the lad. i'm sure he'll get better as he gets fitter. Holohan was MoM for me. He was also 'everywhere' last week even with his head bandaged.

- the collection of shite in the closer corner stand included some stocks.
Possibly the ones Holloway claimed he'd purchased. |

I thought Green was decent first half, shadowed the defence and kept things simple but the more the game went on, the more his touch became 'tired'. Reminded me of Holahan last season (today was his best performance for the club imo).
Glennon is going to be a real outlet for us this season. Efete needs to stop cutting inside when he's coming forward and hug the touchline more.

Sat in the osmond corner and enjoyed the game but some constructive feedback:
- it took me nearly 30 mins to leave after the game (not sure if another exit is available but the bottle neck to get back in to the main stand seemed to be the issue).
- being close to the away fans was pretty good (especially when we scored!) but the couple of stewards protecting the gate may have been in trouble if it had been a more ferocious away support / more heated game.
- someone I was sat with asked what constitutes being kicked out. Some fans from both teams seemed more interested in doing the bouncing on their feet with the arms out hold me back LADZ dance than watching the game. Looking at you fat NTFC fan and the ‘excrement Jimmy savile’ GTFC fan. I understand stewarding is a tricky balancing act but if in a bar / in public / anywhere else both would be thrown out.
- one steward / employee told me I needed to enter via the away fans entrance and another told me to use the main stand entrance. For future reference if you are a home fan in the osmond enter via the main stand entrances.
- the collection of shite in the closer corner stand included some stocks. Keen to see these used.
- the pontoon and findus sound silent from the osmond.
Club can only improve if you give them the feedback directly. Also.... - the collection of shite in the closer corner stand included some stocks. Keen to see these used. What on earth does that mean? |

I meant ‘closed’ not ‘closer’. Between the Osmond and the Main Stand is a closed off bit of terracing. It seems to be being used a store room. One of the things I noticed in there whilst waiting to leave after the game was some stocks (the medieval punishment thing where you stick your arms and head in and people throw stuff at you). |

Agree with a lot of that re the osmond. And the knock on effect for the main too. Took an absolute age to get out at the end and I felt bad for the wheelchair users and older people stuck in the bottle neck. Queues for the loo at half time were stretching all the way to pitch side and I didn’t even bother trying to get a drink at half time. We also had the same issue before kick off….quite a few were going to the wrong gate!
Not sure what the solutions are….could they have let us walk out the front of the osmond once the away fans were cleared out? They were home pretty swiftly. Just observations anyway..good problems to have with such good turnouts!
The osmond corner is great for creating an atmosphere….agreed with whoever said the pontoon is inaudible from the other side of the pitch.

Agree about the comments re segregation in the Osmond. Today the stewards were up against a comedy fat man and some gobby “hold me back” types. Needs sorting before we play Donny or Bradford.
Having said all that, my usual tickets in the main family area seem to be a bargain. Atmosphere in that area next to the Osmond is better than ever. Didn’t hear much from anywhere else...

Anyone else suspect we won’t bother putting fans in the ossie when we play away teams that will bring more?
They’ve said about 1200 allocation for some away teams, surely, with the tarp across the front rows that would stretch across the whole stand surely?

Nothing much to add to what people have said. Other than having been at both games so far, I’m struggling to see what Green brings to the team or what makes him worth buying.
He got caught in possession a number of times today and tends to trot about as the game passes him by.
Yeah he lost the ball a couple of times but so did a few others I watched him from the main stand and he won the majority of his headers and tackles he organsided from goal kicks and set peices every time looks a right hard nut to me something we have missed for years he will pick the pace up no doubt and could be a big player for us once he’s fully fit and picks the pace up early days yet we’re 2 games in !!! |

If I can't get to the rare few games I can make on a Saturday because the Osmond is out of bounds due to stupid idiots gobbing off I won't be happy. A total home sell out yesterday yet 1900 empty seats in the ground. Appreciate there were probably 700 empty seats in the Northampton section of the Osmond but did it look like 1200 home seats were missing? |
