dl1971 Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 If we could get 6000 or above could be a game changer. Full north stand would help. Nb why oh why do we almost always attack the north stand first half rather than second half? Bemuses me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it goes back to the first day of the erstwhile North (now John Lambie) Stand when 2 quick goals against Falkirk launched our charge to the First Division title. That is all history now and I too would prefer to see us attacking the JLS end in the second half. By the way, if the game goes to extra time, is the third "half" always played the same way as the first half, or could we switch it then?

jaggy Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 It goes back much longer than that. We traditionally attack the City End in the 2nd half & have done for many years, certainly since the fence went up in The Shed and that became the 'home' end. Why should we change for a few hundred in the JLS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally another coin toss at the start of extra time to determine ends and who kicks off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auld Jag Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 Big noisy Thistle support one last time this season to hopefully see us turn this around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metz Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 No matter your view on this season get yourself to Firhill tomorrow to support the team anything less than 7,000 is a reflection on you. If we can do it for a promotion we can do it for a must win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 I'll be there but won't be feeling overly optimistic. The team hasn't turned up on so many occasions this season I'm not so sire they'll do it this time.The fans know how the team needs to set up and play but will they? If we lose a goal are we capable of scoring three? If it goes to extra time will our fitness hold up? It rarely does for 90 minutes. So, as there's a good chance that we will get relegated today, how can we expect a big turnout? (having said all that I'm still hoping that we'll do it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaggy Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 So between 5000 & 5500 home support, most in colours as far as I could see so not many neutrals. So it’s the age old question, where are the extras for the rest of the season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonehJags Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 The backing today was sensational, the players didnt use it. Imagine if we had scored in the first half.

Always the same for these sort of games, fans come that don't most other weeks.Really surprised by Livingston support is their average not about 1000? Lets hope by the end of next season we have similar crowds because we are going for the title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had that not been the case it's fair to assume there would've been considerably more in attendance. Actually I don't think it surprising that about twice the size of our normal home support turned up today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
