Mondays NEP - return of the happy clappers?

[Kirk55]

Forgive me if this has already been covered (couldn't see it anywhere)

Quote taken from Mondays NEP (Ellis is Positive Future's Bright):

"There were lots of positives to be taken from both games and I know we will get better. The thing is, we showed a lot of character and I hope the supporters liked what they saw.

"I must admit, the fans were at their quietest when we needed them most at 3-1 down and I found that strange.

"They were brilliant when we were cruising, but a little bit of that noise when we're struggling wouldn't go amiss in the future."

Sorry Mr Ellis, but what do you expect when you score a very quick goal to get all the fans going but then just as quickly loose the lead!

I think we killed all the happy clappers on this forum a long time ago!

Thoughts?

hmm, I know 3-1 down is when they need the support the most, but can they really expect the crowd to be upbeat after witnessing a dire first (home) period of hockey of the season. I was seriously concerned in the first break and from what I heard around the place I wasn't the only one.

No worries from me, 2-1 end of first is nowt, granted , Bisons 3rd was a howler, it should have been avoided by playing someone alongside Rees, the face off win was a automatic 2 on 1 .

I always thought we d come back, that first peiod wasn t as bad as is been said, the calls from NB made the game worse if anything

i think with all the stoppages, and music that really didnt work meant it was hard for us fans to get into.

[LUFC]

Ide say the music was partly to blame, the songs that get the crowd clapping and joinging in we amiss.

[ted]

yea of course.... then we should just keep quiet even when winning 9-4 as well....

As I said earlier someone actually told us to stop cheering fro clarkie becuase it wouldnt help him score.

Its not happy clapping... its just asking to make some noise. We had loads in and made some great noise at the start. Then it was even more quiet that a big game at the house of steel.

[charlish2099]

fair point ted, but to be fair the music was more crowd friendly in the third, i think i spent the first period in shock,lol.

[ted]

whats the music got to do with making noise?

You dont need to have music to clap along to? That sheffields game, get told when to sing and make noise.

Why do I see this season being just as quiet as all the others despite the more exciting on ice product

[charlish2099]

i just like good music, very excited about the on ice package, the skating in the third was tremendous, maybe to many of us nottingham fans are shy to start a cheer? i know i tried to join in a couple but was only one newar me so felt bit silly, dont agree with these people telling others to stop clapping and cheering, all part of the fun ;D

[newham]

We were all peed off in the first period with the performance and officiating...

Yes pidge I think the guy wants a baby sitter ;D


I know it's only one game but for me Rees looks like he struggled with the pace of Elite hockey all night, even in the third period he made some howlers and left Bison's wingers free to attack our goal and was very poor at clearing the puck. You don't get the time in this league like you do in the BNL

Like I say it's only an opinion after one game and opinions can soon change
