Playing towards the Holte End in the second half.

[Dave Clark Five]

I always groan when we kick towards the Holte in the first half. Is there any truth in it being a bad omen?

This year, playing towards the Holte End in the second half has signalled the start of our spineless capitulation after a reasonable first half.  So, no.

Nope.

Would you rather we score a last-minute winner in front of the Holte End or in front of the North Stand?

Not fussed.

Depends where I'm sat.

I remember in the 70's we always attacked the Holte End in the 2nd half, unless we lost the toss and the opposition changed ends.
We always used to applaud the opposition goalkeeper into the penalty area, they nearly always waved a thank you, only to be met by a chorus of whistles and V signs. The best thing was it always put a smile on their faces too.

It was when the same ones fell for it every year that I began to think goalkeepers are a bit soft in the head.

Now that the North Stand no longer houses away supporters I'm less inclined to read anything into which end we score at.

I actually think they enjoyed it Dave.
I remember Ray Clemence had a massive smile on his face from about 30 yards out, he knew what was coming and he still waved.

It'd just be nice to score a last minute winner tbh!

[James]

Double post!

Like the Fulham game?

I prefer us to attack the Holte in the second half, even when I'm elsewhere, as was the case on Sunday. It's a tradition and as I spent my formative days watching from the old terrace I like to see it maintained.
Only the stats will show whether it makes any difference but two games stick in the memory when we were "the wrong way 'round". Milan in '90 and Small Heath 5-1.

Don't think it makes a lot of difference but I have a ST in the Holte so I prefer it when we attack the Holte in second half
