Where were ya Saints fans??
Sheesh, 50,000 and it didnt really feel or look like there were more than 5000 Saints fans there..
Poor ol CS looked surrounded by Blues fans on L1, The Moorabbin Wing battled on in Aisle 13 but we had plenty of Blues in the cheap seats behind us....enough to heckle us when we chanted which I cant remember happening for a very long time
Where the bloody hell was everyone???

Lol, there were a few of us up on Level 3. I made an absolute gimp of myself surrounded by Blues, but it was worth it.
Dont think the dad behind me would have been too happy, tried not to swear but the deliberate by Fish was a joke.
Plus had to act out the communal wank session about Judd every time he came back out.

Have to say that even when the ground is full of Saints supporters, they don't tend to make a lot of noise. For example, our reservered seats are on level 2 and apart from myself (who is a self confessed fog horn), there are only a handful of other supporters that really make any noise. I whinge and whine about it to family (with seats around us) every week. Drives me insane!!! Do you know how hard it is to make enough noise to compensate for 50+ other people in your area?
I usually come home hoarse. Saints supporters really need to pick up their game........

It's weird. The powerhouse teams (Carl, Ess, Coll) all have loud supporters, but the lesser sides such as us, Roos, Melb and the Dogs are quiet as s***.
Not sure why.
Don't have to be arrogant gimps to be loud.
We make noise when we're making a come back,that seems to be it...
How do we change it? I am sick to death of it. The Hawthorn final last year at the MCG it was REALLY evident. Barely a noise or any support from our supporters (at least on Level 1 of the MCC. Every week I whinge about this. Crowd support can and does make a massive difference and can lift a team. If our boys relied on this type of support, they would never win a game.mick13 wrote:Indeed.saint75 wrote:Have to say that even when the ground is full of Saints supporters, they don't tend to make a lot of noise.

That said, once the cheer squad and the level 3 Moorabbin wing gets going, the ground does seem to errupt, but if it wasn't for them, the noise would barely be there except for a lone few of us around the ground.......
There's nothing you can do. Supporters mindsets and personalities aren't changed over night. We can't make introverts stand up and yell out at the footy.
I think it's a vicsious cycle. The young Blues/Pies/Hawks fans see their fellow supporters cheering loud and shouting, whilst ours watch people generally be quiet. So they grow up to do the same. Unless we suddenly change it somehow there aint much we can do.
I stand up and applaud after 90% of goals, and I shout out a lot, join in every chant...but not many others do!
But yeah, theres really nothing you can do to change it, Saints are generally pretty quiet, nothing wrong with that, but I agree the crowd definitely can lift a team. I honestly thought the crowd would get the Blues over the line tonight. Credit to our boys for holding tough.

On a positive it was nice to see the stands empty and our team still on the ground

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

Sounded like a Carlton crowd on TV. Nonetheless, sounded like a great atmosphere.

We would have been there if they hadn't made it so hard to get seats. available monday, all sold out tuesday, more available later in the week.... the planning just got too difficult.
And,Saint75: you're in the wrong spot. Level 2 is for the "proper" people. All of us yellers and screamers are on levels 1 and 3!
Although sadly I do agree that Saints crowds generally seem to be a bit inhibited about being really loud.

Piss weak supporters. It's been a problem for while and if you ask me it's because our supporters are a bunch of scared rabbits. Ooooh, i'm worried about this game, it's a danger game, we could lose this one and all sorts of other loser comments. FFS people, you have a good team, get to the game and yell ya farking lungs out.
