Princess street stand : Tue Mar 08, 2011 12:11 pm  

Hi, I am looking at going to stand in the Princess street stand for 0ne game only,the catalan game.
I was just wondering if any other of the WRE supporters would be intersted in a move to the Princess street stand for ONE GAME ONLY!

The game is on the telly and with the sky cameras/microphones,they dont pick up the barmy army and noise that we make.
So who is interested in going under the gantry for this one game?
and yes i understand that this has been tried and failed before but we have our fare share of floating fans who'll be watching on the telly,what would you rather hear?...the odd call for offside or a bit of noise?..Would that not want the floating fans to think i want a bit of this and start coming back?

Thoughts please.

I'll be there, as usual.

This of course has been tried unsuccessfully before. For some reason the majority of Cas fans prefer to stand behind the posts wheras almost everywhere else the touchline view is favoured. That said I've stood in the PS since they stopped charging extra for the privilege and new blood would be welcome to improve the atmosphere and probably the penalty count. Those who stick around for the Leeds game will also enjoy the greater opportunities for loiner baiting.

Right. As if it's not bad enough the cod'eads (both varieties of them)trying to steal my place in the Princess St Stand - now you want the WRE barmy army to !

Most Camera shots don't show Princess Street, so filling that side will make the attendance look small on tv.

Think the thing most likely to encourage the floating supporters to return to watching games live is the fact we've won our opening 3 games and sit top of the league!

I'd agree that the SKY cameras don't tend to focus on the Princess St stand, if anywhere, the place that we need to fill is the railway end as this is picked up by the cameras. This is often the end that away supporters go but if the away support is minimal as will be the case this Saturday there's often hardly anyone there.

No noice at railway end either though. No roof. If more Cas fans in the wheldon road end sang it would be heard by the cameras.

Ill be there and hopefully we can make some good noise for SKY and make it a positive advert for Cas but please lets not give the SKY pundits too much grief as we want them on our side and singing our praises.
Lets hope the lads keep delivering on the pitch to give us plenty to cheer. Come on Cas.
UP THE TIGERS!!!!

Why don't we all go with four or five scarecrows hanging from long poles strapped to our shoulders. That will make the crowd look huge.
