Playing without a crowd?
NEIL HARRIS:
"I think some players in this period will maybe play better, without a fanbase.
"Away fans giving them stick or expectations of some fans. Some will feel they can go out and play without the shackles.
"But some players react to having fans there and enjoy it. Dennis Wise who I played with, he loved the interaction.
"Someone like Callum Paterson responds really well and likes to be the pantomime villain at times."

Personally I think it’s helped our players so far us not being there. Perhaps the crowd can cause nerves and especially if they start to get on top of the players.

Yeah I was surprised how sharp the players came back and even more shocked at the results so far. Lol I suppose sometimes you do t want to let yourself believe too much Incase of a collapse lol. Credit to NH and the coaching staff and players too.

The boys have done quite well without our fans behind them over the years.
I remember us winning in Scumland a few years ago without any of us being there (can't remember why - a dispute over ticket allocation I think?) and I think Gunnar scored the winner?
Didn't we also win away at Wolves a few years ago when Moxy banned our fans? That was the famous "balloon" escapade that never quite happened. I remember Jason Byrne scored his one and only goal for us and the game was beamed back to one of the bars at Ninian Park.
Christ my memory is getting quite hazy
