Report from the Hill today - (9 Viewers)

[covboy1987]

This is not meant as a them and us report but i thought i would report comments from my Cousin and a few mates were on the hill all day today as there was approx 40 fans protesting but the Radio kept reporting 12 as if they are trying to mock the number of protesters by incorrect information.He also said he saw all of the goals from where he was standing and the 40 protesters were singing songs like City City give us a song as it was very quiet in the Cov end. He also said the Preston fans were far louder although that maybe because they were nearer but not knowing the layout of the ground not sure.He was talking to Gary Hoffman and members of the trust who was also on the hill.The Protesters were also applauded by Preston fans as they went back to there cars

Cov fans in the ground made a racket today. Said it against Bristol, i'll say it again today, the atmosphere in the ground is at the very, very least on par with the Ricoh. More often than not, louder.

Cannot argue with you as i wasnt thre and will not be but just passing on comments from the people on the hill

Most of what you say is factually incorrect but who the hell cares, I was in the ground and the Preston supporters were in the end furthest away from the hill!
I also spoke to a number of security staff who estimated those on the hill to be far less than the number you are quoting.

Enjoyed the game atmosphere and tension but mainly the quality of football and 'never say die' attitude of our amazing team and particularly the youngsters!

Stay positive and PUSB!

Well it looked and sounded very exciting NOT!
Never heard the City sing but hear Preston, they even chanted " we can see you on the hill". Although they we facing us.
We were singing more then the City, am looking forward to being there again v Colchester.
Game did look good and great view it was lie being at back of block 23 again.

The Preston fans were at the other end of the ground and even sang We can see you on the hill", Lots of them stopped and talked to us and they were the ones who called City fans going in scabs. Just one point to the lady with the City shirt who stopped and said I hope we never go back to Coventry if that was said to wind me up .......it worked.

Preston fans were very quiet today.

Man for man the quality of the support was very good today, but obviously the number of people there effects the volume level, and you also get those spells of silence where all you can hear are the players and it takes on the feel of a friendly. Was decent noise in spells though. Game helped obviously.

Didn't hear a whisper from those on the hill.

Give me block 15 of the Ricoh any day though.

You have your head so far up your arse.
Who in there right mind would question a number of security staff and then quote it.

Surely IF you were at the game you would have seen us there were according to CWR only 4 because the othe 40 were out of sight of the main shed sorry stand we then moved to join the 4 but you would have seen that had you been there wouldn't you?

Hoe many do you think were on the hill

 

[BigadamL]

Did GH have anything worth saying?

 

[simple_simon]

My view 35 on one side and about 6 on the far side.
Gary Hoffman joined us late and some came at half time.

 

[covboy1987]

apparently a bit somber like the rest but if he new anything he probably would not say as it could lead to rumours again

Hofferman joined us late and some came at half time.

What did the hoff have to say fella ??

 

[simple_simon]

What did the hoff have to say fella ??

Did not talk to him, he chatted to a few while watching the game but nothing to me directly, did not know he lived in Northants though.

He is a neighbour of the Northampton Town chairman

i say forget jimmy's hill until the Sheffield game when the cameras are there, then turn out in force. I'll be there.

 

[simple_simon]

Was not aware of that.
The police told us that the small stand behind goal will be closed in November and ground will be about 5.8 k while they build a new stand, to take up o 10.5 k.
They also asked us why there were so few of us?
One lady said because the club is no longer ours and the fight has almost gone.
To be fair the Police were very good and explained what we can and cannot do or where we cannot go.

 

[steveo1987]

From my seat in the west stand,I counted 11.

That's six weeks away, need to show something before then.

 

[simple_simon]

No idea where that is, and to be fair I don't give a shit but I counted 35 at one point as guy was onto someone on the radio.
The police will confirm numbers as he had to give info to someone at his base.
I suggest you get better glasses, anyway if game was that good and enjoying yourself so much why count us?

 

[Deleted member 5849]

West, I'd assume.

 

[cloughie]

Agreed yet it has to be an organised protest, I and many people I know would go to the hill but only if it's effective with numbers, so as to be noticed by the media, ie the march

Time for the SBT to step upto the mark again and arrange

we want to go we want to get noticed, but it has to be organised /arranged

PUSB

 

[simple_simon]

Twat, could have been near us or far end.

Like.I said,I could see 11 from my seat,there may have been more out of sight.Read the post carefully before your glasses comment.Oh and by the way,I counted up at kick off

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Twat

So you reckon the West Stand isn't in the West?

 

[cloughie]

So you reckon the West Stand isn't in the West?

and you reckon you are not being facetious

 

[DazzleTommyDazzle]

So you reckon the West Stand isn't in the West?

Depends.

If SISU had anything to do with the naming, I'd be pretty dubious!

 

[Deleted member 5849]

and you reckon you are not being facetious

So the West stand is somewhere else?

 

[pusbccfc]

Me and 4 other lads will be making an appearance on the hill against Colchester.
Trust me, I'll be making a noise.

 

[skybluegod]

There were only about 20 on the hill I was inside the ground. How could they have seen 2 of the goals considering they were tap ins from about 2 yards so the stand would have been in the way of their view?

 

[letsallsingtogether]

Wrong againj I was on the hill and when CWR said there were only 5 we moved round to the other corner and by the way we could hear the preston fans singing we can see you on the Hill what was the city's reply...................................yep nothing utter silence except from us on the hill. and ok their were only 42 of us and some others left at kick off but that is also an increase of 50% on last game.

Most of what you say is factually incorrect but who the hell cares, I was in the ground and the Preston supporters were in the end furthest away from the hill!

so you genuinely did not know what he meant ? ...........Hmm

 

[letsallsingtogether]

Stayed until half time saw the city goals and from where we were standing could not see the city fans and they would not have seen us.

When were you outside the ground ? yet in the ground to see the tap ins?....
you cannot have seen City's second half goals as you are correct on that point the stand is in the way.....
