Being the away fans the JT's will sing and make more noise at ER on Wednesday week. A decent away support will always make more noise as they are on somebody elses turf. This goes for most level of football .......the only exception in the EPL perhaps being Crystal Palace fans. Celtic standing section keep the noise going at Parkhead in the SPL but generally home fans ( grey haired brigade) even at ER sit on their hands and wait for something to happen, except for those, who because they have paid their money it is their right to hurl abuse at the home players    . I take my hat off to the drummer and small group at the bottom of the East who try to keep things going.......they would be better at the top of the stand buy hey ho.

Atmosphere in grounds has never been the same since all-seater stadia were enforced as before that all the people who wanted to sing could migrate to the parts of the ground where all like minded people would congeregate and get things going. I have often seen and heard people try to get chants going on their own in various sections of the ground just to be faced with rows of disdain looks as though they have just committed murder.

My main concern still is the fact this tie takes our eye off the ball a little in the promotion push. Talk and concentration again for the next 10 days is on the replay and I hope the team are focused on Saturdays more important game v Raith. I believe the tie has already lost us 2 points v Ayr and I don't want to think of us letting more go on Saturday especially with a newly installed Yogi who would want to get off to a good start. Helped last week by Dundee Uniteds slip up but we need to keep the pressure on and not give them a sniff or Falkirk or Morton.
