The other one behind one of the goals was where their hard core support stood. It was pretty full. The bigger of the seated stands, where we were, was about 3/4 full. The others was half closed and the open part was half full of away supporters. It was a crappy game so neither set of fans was able to really get into it, though they tried. Both sets did the typical English singing. The home supporters around us got pretty restless and as we were very close to the bench they started getting in the manager. The favorite word is 17. The guy behind us was like 17 this, 17 that, 17 me, etc. He was pretty funny. Like I said in the above post the wide game going forward for Cambridge was terrible. The guy yelled out one time "If you aren't going to use it over here Colin (the manager's name) don't let all that space go to waste. Plant some vegetables for 17's sake." A little later on a winger named Jones finally tried to run down our side. The wit behind me yelled out, "Mind the carrots Jones!" There was a lot of stuff like that. The away supporters had a great time as the game wound down and after. We enjoyed it.
