For what was an absolutely atrocious night, the atmosphere was great. I think the bad weather weeds out most of the "fair-weather" supporters (pun intended!) who tend to just sit on their hands unless we are winning by thirty.
What you are left with are the guys and gals who will support the team through thick and thin. For what was reported as about three thousand odd, we made plenty of noise in the second half when the teams defence was superb. Every big hit was cheered loudly and every South mistake was jeered with the same vigour.
I thought the drummers at the southern end of the ground were a great idea, they really added to the atmosphere and, given better conditions, they could really get the crowd going.
Lyall Gorman walked around the Club after the game and personally greeted every supporter there, his suit was soaking wet but he was grinning from ear to ear. Gotta love the bloke.
