been here before Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 (edited) Firstly fair play for the Levein banner, that was a nice touch and went down well througout the ground. We were in J for the first half and other than some odd drumming heard nothing from the Singing Section. Quite a few ditties from the usual punters though. Second half back up on the usual perch in the Wheatfield and would never have known they were there, banner aside. Early days and all that but they really do need some numbers, must have been about 20 all told. Werent their claims from the OP to have sold upward of '70 season tickets and counting' before the season started?

Beast Boy Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Saw a couple of flags and heard some intermittent drumming from H. Majority of the signing was coming from N and G though. I’m in Section R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gorgie Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I think the fact that its in the roseburn and cat B ST is really going to hamper the numbers. Club will really need to have a rethink for next season if they are still going. Lower G or N would make the most sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haken Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Could hear the drum up in the back of Q, but not much else. The banner was a really nice touch.

Bainy Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Sounds like a few prawn sanny types have bought tickets in the singing section by mistake. Sure they will grown in confidence as the season goes on.

wanderer Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I bought an extra ticket for this game as I had already given my mate my season ticket as I was meant to be working. I hadn't remembered about the singing section, it was only after I bought the ticket I actually realised. It should be called the singing and standing section. Most of the folk around me were stood for the full 90 minutes, it was like going back to Gorgie in the 80's. Didn't hear any sectarian singing although their rendition of the "Uche" to the tune of the "Bouncey" was suspicious. Also hear a very muted attempt to start up a rendition of "Hello" but it didn't come to much. The resistance to the banner was ridiculous and is exactly the kind of behaviour from Stewards to fans that could potentially flare aggro. So in summary, it was an interesting experience; but I look forward to resuming my old seat for the next home game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor FinnBarr Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 My take on yesterday from Upper H, singing section only made noise when N or G started something, drummer really is crap and could do with taking lessons from the St M drummer.
