That's another season I don't sit in the West Stand. Cringe.

If you're talking about the loud guy then that's probably the best idea. Everyone goes silent when he pipes up waiting for him to stop, meaning the crowd actually gets quieter because of his shouting.

How dare anyone make any noise or do anything that isn't a polite round of applause at full time. I'm not sure what my reaction would be if someone attempted to tell me off for voicing my disgust at a lousy performance. I doubt the outcome would be a positive one however.

What next, telling a steward that someone was booing the kicker?

I've sat next to this guy for a few years over in the East Stand

half the time he shouts misguided drivel - normally along the lines that his mother could do better

But the other half he is spot on - rather than sit in silence and doing nothing he says what most people are thinking

he's very passionate about the game but can be a bit of a bull in a china shop

I'd rather be sat next to him than next to someone who just whinges to anyone listing

prime example on Saturday the couple behind me shouted to him that they didn't want to hear his opinion - then for the next 60 minutes they did exactly the same thing to anyone within earshot - classic

Ah Steve - bless 'im.

To be honest, I made him about spot on when he shouted 'what a load of rubbish'. There are times when the team, coach etc.. need to know the fans are unhappy - and yet in some games this season some people still applaud the dross that's been served up!

I bet there are plenty of dual code fans amongst them. And not a single exiled Northerner.

I sat next to a chap who was doing the crossword puzzle in his newspaper. Quite a powerful statement I thought and without having to raise his voice.

Leave The Gob out of this.

Still no sign of the review's conclusions though?

According to someone in this country, the review has been done.
