“If you look at them, apart from one or two early moments they didn’t carve out many chances. From that perspective there are some real positives to take from the game.”

Dont buy this 'significant correspondence' bit. For reasons not obvious to many, the club appear to be on an anti-fan mission, particularly if they show any signs of passion. Can't help but think you only notice an experienced hand at the exec level when they have been disposed with.

Just one example: 7 members of my family have bought season tickets in block 3 for several seasons now and spanning 3 generations understandably like to sit together. When they turn up and find several of the seats they chose and paid for up front filled by strangers is it not reasonable for them to feel aggrieved.
They have never complained or written to the club, on the occasions it has happened a polite request has resolved things satisfactorily. I guess others have not been so fortunate and felt it necessary to complain.

Or pro-fan if the objective is to ensure that if you have bought a ticket for a specific seat then you will be able to sit in it!

I still don’t understand why you can’t be passionate sat down.

Go to an NFL, NBA, Twickenham or even a Raiders game and see loud, intimidating stadiums where everyone sits!

Yeah cos swing low sweet chariot is so intimidating.
Watch the x factor (if you can last more than 5 minutes) why do all singers stand and not sit?

Fair play to the club actually communicating the reason for the stewarding this time. Probably should have done it proactively rather than reactively but at least it makes sense

Are you serious?

Professional singers stand to help the visual performance. It shows off their outfits and lets them flaunt

Elton John often sits playing the piano signing and it doesn’t bother him!

Yes I am serious. Many football chants are not just a song - hand / arm gestures are often involved, hence why sitting and singing them is not as effective

I wouldn`t be so paranoid if people didn`t keep picking on me.

So home park is compare to the xfactor. Heard it all now :funny:

Twickenham is in no way shape or form intimidating. That’s unless you get in the way of a drunk rugby fan with a giant foam hand.

To be fair, some of our Supporters do come across as Divas at times.

I think that the reference to X Factor was to point out that standing makes singing easier. I know most can see that, but just to make it clear for the hard of understanding.

:facepalm:

Really?

Football IS tribal, I'm not sure that Twickers or the Raiders can really be categorised as that can they?

I will admit I've never been to either, but from what I've casually seen on glimpses on TV, neither one can't be compared to our marvellous game. Far too 'cosy' for my taste.

I love footie, love the humour, I even love the bad language and (sometimes) bad feeling during the game, but at the end of the 90 minutes (or in Wycombe's case 98) it's all over and done with and the football family is at one again.

Recent events at Bury and Leicester prove we all have the same feelings about our game.

I was at LA Chargers in NFL a couple of weeks ago and the announcer was complaining that everyone was sitting and encouraged everyone to stand!
