    This is something that always bugs me, I have a season ticket sat near the Itchen Corner and that area has its good times and its bad times for singing and chanting but only at the top end? why does no one from the middle down to the bottom seem interested in participating?

    Anyone who sits close to the away fans I think should generally be interested in creating atmosphere and enjoying some harmless banter with the away fans.

    Could I hear some thoughts on this matter?

    Sorry if this post is boring but it is something that I always ask myself.

    PS can we have the were the itchen were the northam on the weekend please :grin:

    I have only used the Itchen Stand when forced to by circumstance, when the other stands weren't open e.t.c. and must admit found it cramped and soulless compared to my Kingsland area. Whether that has an affect on Premier matchdays I am not so sure. To be honest the last thing I would chose to do is to sit anywhere near the away fans, the further away they are the better.

    I was going to correct the grammar and punctuation in your post but I leave that to my top pupil Le Tissier's Laces these days.

    He'll be in touch soon I am sure.

    In the meantime if you are not happy where you are why not ask at the ticket office to be moved rather than moaning?

    I think it is time you took control of your life.

    This is very true, but wouldn't it be better if all stands participated? Can't remember the last time the whole stadium sang.

    I occasionally joined in OWTS (when I could get to matches :(), but I watch so intently that singing isn't my natural response to a football match. Not everyone is the same.

    I also have only used it once and it was the corner in question. I really enjoyed my match there that day...... it might just have had something to do with David Prutton scoring the opening goal at 33-1 off a fiver against Liverpool, with just 4 minutes or so on the clock! This was not long after I moved to Northampton and thus, further South and started to be able to get to more home games again. It paid for the fuel, the tickets and some nourishment. I rarely have a flutter, but did that day.

    Thanks for your concern, I have read the terms and conditions for season ticket holders a while back after being seated in The Itchen and it states that I cannot move without a valid reason with proof.

    It wasn't a moan, I asked question.
