Post by Vaughan8 » Wed Nov 26, 2003 8:50 pm

I've been to 3 home games and 3 away games and i think away games r better. Just wondered what other people thought?

i would say away all the time. mainly becasue of the atmosphere the away fans generate, every one sings and seems to get behind the team what ever.
i also love standing watching football, i dt no why, i just find it much more fun. plus i love it at the end, wen the away fans are keeped in and were the only ones singing in a empty ground, makes me laugh! :lol:

This is a tough one.

I love our ground, and it feels right being at home, but when you are away and keep seeing the same faces and everyone is singing at the top of their voice it feels like you are apart of something special... Might sound gay... but its true :?

And with the Palace game and Watford game, how can anything beat those?

I enjoy going to Portman road, even to the reserves but 1978 greats wont let me shout there, When im in Greene King there seems no cohesion to the crowd, but Away games MAGIC!!!

Away matches without a shadow of a doubt, as much as I love Portman Road you cant beat the camaraderie ( hey big word! ) and atmosphere of away games.

i would say away because its a great atmosphere away(eg yesterday new songs coming out which probably woulden't have been sung if the match was at portman road)

however your more ikely to see a win at portman road but i still prefer away games

If we could get allthe supportes (28000) of them all singing together
the noise would be astronomical). It would sound similar to
1000 - 4000 all groupage together in one stand at an away game.

The regular awy supporters like myself get real passion and
feeling when we ae all together..

Look a the Norwich game at Home last season, I was very dissapointed by the noise the budgies made compared to us, even
taking into account the level of noise that drops from one end
of ground to the other..


we were bad..
