it has been a long time coming, never heard it since oming to the Sol.
have had great atmospheres in the past but nothing to match the roker roar.
less people as well. i know this will open the whole stading debate,
but just because we are sitting down, why do we let this stop us?
some folk barely male a noise, once one group starts, then one end will be jumping then the whole ground. we are the twelve man, lets make ourselves count.

I was stuck in the south of France today but called one of my lads in the ground and had to hang up .... couldn't hear a thing.

The noise towards the end was hellish. Fuck me if we'd scored they would of heard about it in the Bigg market...

Absolute pleasure to watch that game of football. Chuffed to bits with how well the team played.

The noise that started to build up towards the end was fantastic. Really wish we had scored (obviously) because the fucking roof would have came off

Glad it was loud. Our lasses boy was at the game with a busload of lads and lasses from Bathgate academy. They were there for the first time last season for the man City game as it was the closest premier league ground to them. I thought this season they may have went to sid james, but no, the sol it was.

Aside from the standing issue, I think the groups of fans wanting to lift the atmosphere are too spread out. I'm not advocating a 'singing area' but perhaps if some of the fans who wanted to raise the atmosphere were closer to the established areas (such as the SWC) then the collective noise made would spread further round the ground.

Was just think about the Roker Roar today. We were fantasic, so proud of the teams effort, and the fans. HA'WAY!!!
