3000 fans in the east stand aloneRegarding fan noise, I think sometimes folk forget that the away sections are nearly always packed into one area/stand. The experience myself and Mrs Lounger have of away games (quite a few) are that more of the support get involved with singing, clapping etc. This stems from being in the thick of it all, so to speak. This is evidenced by all the well supported sides that visit the Kasstad. The acoustics undoubtedly play a roll with the North stand roof assisting in projecting sound but, it has to be said, as @ECYellow mentioned, a few more original songs would help our cause. The flags are great, well done the "Fanatics" but they alone are not enough. We need more songs, more originality and, dare I say it? less of the derogatory stuff. Yes, we all hate Swin*on but must be sing that to every visiting team? The recent lurch towards racist, homophobic chants and the quite pathetic "sex offender" stuff is embarrassing and should stop forthwith.
Why don’t refs go up to the captain and tell them that time wasting will be added on, the Pompey goalie knew he wouldn’t get a second booking for it so took the P**s, shame it came back to haunt him.I thought he dealt with the time wasting really well tbh, refs are hardly likely to send a player off for time wasting and
rather than waste more time by getting too involved he just kept stopping his watch and we ended up with 10 minutes
injury time that imo we really can`t complain about. Would be happy to see more refs do it this way.
Tbh the reason it’s like that is because half the east stand sits down and half stand up, thought we were loud for most of the game yesterday & got behind the lads, especially once we got the second goal, could only see one outcome.No it doesn’t, not all home fans are quiet at all. Bolton was noisy, Wimbledon was noisy, Wednesday was noisy. Anyway, if every other team was quiet why does that mean our fans have to be? It’s a flawed argument.
No drum. Clap, jump about have some original songs - it’s not reinventing the wheel

Oh yeah. Duh.Go back to my post and look at the photo. The match day sponsors
Yep, and it ain’t Blackpool.Enjoy cam while we can , he's only heading one way . He's different gravy.
He’s going to be a massive star. Enjoy him while we have him.
I think it’s unfair to be critical of east stand. Normally we are responsible for any atmosphere in that soulless dump.SSU so got a nice balance of home and away fans.
Frankly, until it went 2-2 the East stand was a joke. So quiet and so flat.
Legitimately, if it isn’t “yellows”, “yellow and blue army” or Robinson yellow army there is nothing. No atmosphere.
People won’t like it, people will have their rose tinted glasses on but it’s true. Our atmospheric home support is dire.
Your post sums it up “Atmosphere was flat when Portsmouth were winning” why does it take us to be level or winning for their to be noise?
Yeah, I thought this.We’ve got an assistant kit man!!!!
Looking back
We conceded another two vey soft goals as we did vGills last week and sloppy goal c Wigan and this is what bothers me
We are as good as anyone going forward but the automatic places will be beyond us because we will always ship goals
This is KR’s downfall I’m afraid we should have strengthened at the back in the last two windows
Agreed, but it does feel that perhaps more are sat down now? Maybe not!The only time I can remember the east stand fans not sitting down are every scum.game the west ham.game 4-0 Newcastle fa cup replay r&d play off 2nd leg Wycombe when we got promoted that's of the top of my head otherwise it's always been the same the back would stand the front would sit
