I don't think it was right that our fans were jeering Taylor no.
I agree but... Come on you know what I meant. You have been following the Cobblers long enough to know what a small selection of our fan base is like. On two occasions when sat in the North stand (not recently), I myself have dealt with two individuals who had lost it. At no point did I have to swear at them and they soon piped down after I had persuaded them very nicely to do so. Taylor should have remained professional just like he has been in the rest of his time with us. Maybe it will a watershed moment and help Taylor focus on his game, one can hope.

I agree Taylor was wrong to respond Ron, but I honestly don't remember our fans acting like that before. A player falls over, hurts himself, and a decent minority of the north stand start jeering him except he's not playing for the opposition? I'm aware he thinks he's playing better than most of us think he is, but I really dont think overstating how good you think your performing warrants that. Maybe I've missed something, has he been doing someone's missus or similar?

Underhill had an ok atmosphere.
Especially when we took over the nearest pub. Was it the Red Lion ? I cant remember.

I don't condone the jeers but if he did his talking on the pitch and had started to become the leader we need I doubt anyone would have dared. The best thing he can do is score the winner at Mansfield and maybe the jeers will become cheers? Not quite the same but... I once had to pull away one of our shall we say "more famous fans" from berating a ball boy the day Ricky Holmes tore us apart playing at Barnet. You would not believe the language used towards a boy who must have been around eight or nine. They are out there We had just lost three nill but not because of a ball boy. I suppose it did create an atmosphere but not a nice one.

Did the "famous fan", have an umbrella with him?

Nope. You will only need one more guess. My guess would be, he/she favours a shell suit and and the two fingered salute?

Not certain, but I don't think Ricky was playing that day!

Erm, yes This was the first game that Barnet had Edgar Davids as player manager if I remember correctly. It was actually 4-0 in the end with all the goals scored in the second half. Looking back at the reports I am not even sure Ricky played in that game now? It must have been on another occasion when he played against us for them I remember him running straight through us.

Nottingham Forest have a very good fan group who aim to improve the atmosphere both before and during the game, certainly something that Sixfields could benefit from.

Yup there's loads, obviously the Holmesdale Fanatics at Palace the most well-known Ultras style collective. Just secured themselves a new singing section at Selhurst Park, one of the best atmospheres in the country. Closer to home the 1881 movement at Watford and Union FS at Leicester. All-seater stadia and expensive tickets all but killed off atmosphere and people are being proactive about trying to address that. Absolutely believe, like Beds we need a new home terrace (Hotel End Mark 2) and to bring through a new generation not as downtrodden as the old guard. Would have liked the safe standing pilot currently going really well at Shrewsbury to have been at Sixfields. We were ahead of the game at one point.

Who is going to start the Icelandic Sixfields (sorry PTS) 'THUNDERCLAP' chant, similar to the Ryder Cup today?.....superb atmosphere. I suggest a chant of 'TOWN' inbetween claps.
Interesting to see if the North Stand can out do the South end of the West Stand!
Challenge set!

A few in the Upper West tried it last Saturday against Notts County.
