Wasn't just the North though. Even WL had some sections standing and singing throughout. Stewards stood on and did nothing.
Deny it's a factor if you like, I happen to think it's very influential.
Think we're overcomplicating it.
Not one steward asked us to sit on Monday and I noticed prolonged standing as a trend throughout the ground.
Of course there's always going to be that bit extra for being the occasion of a playoff semi, but it all starts with allowing vocal support to stand...
