12th Man's performance

12th Man's performance

The drummer needs telling not to smack it on every syllable of the song, too. The point of a drummer is just to set the tempo, not to play the melody.

Think @AndySaville has made a similar point before.
I seem to remember that Andy Saville was the Ringo Starr of drumming on the Town End back in the day!

Annoys the crap out of me and usual ruins/ends the chants prematurely because it puts everyone off.

One of them was trying to be clever today during the 'pnefc, the team for me' chant by double timing the drum beat during the 'oh oh oh oh' bit but couldn't do it. Sounded dreadful.
 
Wow! I have to admit with the news of poor pre-match ticket sales, I feared the worst yesterday with Burnley selling out the Shankley... but that was the best Deepdale home atmosphere I've experienced in a very long time! And it was significant that the vast majority of PNE fans stayed behind after the final whistle to show our appreciation. Brilliant! Apart from the response to all 3 quality goals, my favourite bits were when PNE players put crunching tackles in (McCann did a few, Ledson also, but especially Osmajic towards the end when he crashed into the dingle defender as the ball went out for a throw-in 🤩) Well done to everyone involved for making the noise - great performance from us 12th Man!! Loud & Proud!!
 
Heckingbottom calling out the fans, and i completely agree with him, Deepdale has been silent for much of the season, if we can get the place like it was at times on Saturday more often, then hopefyully it'll lift thep layers too. One thing i noticed, was a lot of the usual season ticket holders near me werent there on Saturday, it was a different group of people whoi all seemed to be getting behind the team

Absolutely spot on, fair play to him.

I completely agree with Heckinbottom on this too. TV coverage plays a part here - the option to stay on the sofa and watch the same game without lifting a cheek (whilst saving a wodge of cash) can be a tempting one that maybe shouldn't be criticised. And it won't just be PNE. But with JK's Tifo idea, it shows what just might be possible. Can we become the Galatasary of the Championship?!! 😵
 
The spark has to come from the pitch which will then ignite the atmosphere in the stands.
That’s the order of things unfortunately….we may then even get a few more supporters willing to wave the free flags.
