Impact of the 13th factor on our game?

[AB.Trini]

 From growing up and attending football games especially Intercol games in the sixties. I have always yearned for the  atmosphere created by the rhythm sections, and the encouraging songs to spark our teams on. Last  July watching the CONCACAF playoffs for the  U17 games were no difference. This tradition has long been part of our football atmosphere.
Question: Do you think the players are impacted by this support to the point where it cauld inspire and raise their play? Or is all the hype and rhythms a distraction and basically  a 'good times' vibes for the fans?

Combination of the both but definitely for most in attendance a good time vibes for the fans.

After Honduras scored last night, the crowd went dead and 100 hondurans in the covered stands was being heard thruout the stadium.

But it is definitely nice to see the support, a full and vocal Hasely Crawford Stadium is a great thing to behold.

i feel wah our squad need sometimes is a real hostile environment to let dem up de ante on de pitch.  riddim section makin man feel like, yeah, we home, we go win by vibes alone!

imagine stadium ram out last night and men moving like dey playin in sand at high noon and roast.  NO fire, NO enthusiasm, NO friggin nutten - dat is almost disrespectful to de flag, cause dem men wearin it while clearly not givin a f**k, IMO

i real surprised nobody from de stands eh try an run on an score or someting, just to show dem how it's done.  i woulda do that just to give de fans dey money's worth yes. 

pure heartache in de HCS!!!

It's the 12th factor, and you cannot blame the  personnels in the crowd. Their is a major difference between intercol crowd and the crowd yesterday.  Age group and ticket prices.  Their was a reason the u-20 crowd at the MLS was louder because the TTFF focused on getting energetic youth to crowd.  I think they should do the same rather than trying sell tickets to the highest bidder.  Passionate school youth vs. rich folks who could afford the tickets. who you think will bring more energy and noise?

Yeah is de 12th man... agree that it makes a difference.  Imagine the odds of winning if you played all your games "away" vs. playing all at home.  Playing at home theoretically provides a boost, and it's more than just about familiarity with your surroundings/routine.
