The TRA and its rules....

Imagine being in your seat at 245pm, raging because people were still having a pint?

Go to the game, support how you want, don't mither everyone else with what YOU think support is. You can't teach that stuff, can you?

Ignore it then. It’s a group of supporters saying that the club needs support and if you want to sit in the TRA area then don’t be taking photos of yourself for instagram. It’s simply young lads trying to get away from modern supporter culture and trying to instigate a bit of old school. You can still support the club however you want in other areas of the ground but if you apply to go in the TRA, you’re there to support. Absolutely bob on afaic.

Like everything though, the cynical try to kill anything off that isn’t within their narrow lense of acceptability.

If there’s no atmosphere then there’s really very little point being there at all.

This.

HR been on exemplary posting for weeks now

Spot on.

We've been in that section for every home game bar 2 this season, as it allows 8 of us to stand together from our usual seats in different parts of the ground and generally better craic to be in than sat in silence elsewhere and looked at like you've got 2 heads if you dare make some noise.

The plus points outweigh the negatives being in there, but there are obviously some bits that are a bit cringe or I don't agree with. Nearly every game we'll get up there just for kick off and go down early at H/T to get a pint. If that's what we want to do then it shouldn't be an issue if you're making some noise when in your seat. There are also obviously some clowns in there and some of the song choices are very at times, but again just about weighing up the pros and cons and ignoring the shit bits about it as best as possible.

Fair play to the lads who run it, as I couldn't be arsed with the time it takes or the shit they get off the #@&%!s who think it's cool to slate it all the time. OT is miles better atmosphere wise since it came in, which is really the main thing that matters.

been up there a few times fair £#%&!s to them for trying to get some intensity - better than some of the moaning bastards, and tea chuckers, a bit lower down.

who was the group next to the Bournemouth fans on saturday?

Part of TRA again, it was an option to apply for that A-Stand bit on the app for that game. Sometimes can if the away side don't take up their full allocation.

Some of the song choices are woeful (that £#%&!ing City song some of them were singing made my teeth fall out)

But overall it's a good thing when they can all be arsed.

less than 15 minutes til kick off and it's looking a bit empty

TRA is brilliant, they can make any rules they want. Wish it was bigger, good on them.

Absolutely this.

There’s far too many passive old £#%&!ers or too cool for school cynical #@&%!s in our support.
