    On Tuesday a good atmosphere is vital, we have to be the 12th man, just as Aidy says.

    Not sure why, but I personally feel it adds an edge to it, being part of a crowd that stands for the whole 90 minutes and sings for the whole 90 minutes.

    Stand, sing and support your team!

    COME ON!

    Totally agree with the need to be the twelfth man on Tuesday night but I'll have to be excused the standing bit. If I stand in the Upper Rous my rug will fall off my knees and knock my flask over, so I'll do my singing from sitting down.

    Tommy Smith, Tommy Smith
    Tommy, Tommy Smith
    He gets the ball, he scores a goal
    Tommy, Tommy Smith.

    That would be nice! :D

    If I stand for the full 90 minutes I won't be able to walk, I have got 2 dodgy knees which means I can't stand for a length of time.

    I got the dodgy knees from a footballing injury when I was younger.

    The play off semi final nearly cripped me as we stood for nearly the whole match.

    I think it is down to everyone at the ground to get behind the team and sing and shout until they're hoarse, even if you do sit in the upper rous;)

    jobr, just like any other place with more than 5 horses, theres a wetherspoon which is always good for a burger and beer, but around the northen quarter theres some nice eateries and pubs, which judgine by the one i went to last week, are tailor made for away fans.
