Most boring derby ever?

Post by BartonRaz »

I can't think of a more boring one.

We never looked like creating anything, and when we did, we should have done much better.

K*ttering were poor as they are everytime they play them. Didn't create anything either.

Decision to take Louis off was strange and you could tell he wasn't happy.
They say we've lost our money we're not famous anymore.....

That's a great shame to hear, I doubt many of those 3000 will want to come back.


What was the atmosphere like?

I thought it was alright but it is only my 3rd derby. We were teh better team for most of the game, and when we got the ball down we looked dangerous but without really testing them. For a lot of the game they were abit hoof ball.

Pleased with the attendance but atmosphere could have been better, no doubt a goal would have got everyone singing.

I thought taking of Jefferson was our downfall. I've grown to really like him and I think this system suits him, he's played really well lately. He's strong, good in the air and is quite clever - i think if he had of stayed on we would have scored. When Cliff came on, I thought he was pants and we seemed less fluid up front.

Reasonably happy with a point but would like now to win at their place

Taking Louis off ruined the game.

Personally I was expecting about 2500. 1800 of us and 700 of them. I mean it was higher than I expected

The atmosphere was awful and quite frankly the debanke was pathetic. Maybe it was the 12 oclock kick off and the lack of alcohol consumed.

The K*ttering "fans" were also quiet, Eastbourne made more noise than them!

Fair enough, i would have hoped around an extra 1000 could have attended this game, like we used to get 4000+ 10 years ago!

Well, didn't an extra 1000 attend?

I imagine there were about 2000 home fans? Isn't that 1000 more than usual?
