Atmosphere - 2023/24

Huddersfield fans about as small-time as I've seen. Didn't sing any songs about themselves or their players, it was all football in a library and shall we sing a song for you.

Our atmosphere was okay considering the game and definitely picked up in the 2nd half, not quite to the level that it did against Sheffield last week though.

I really do think games like this provide a solid argument for the extension to be an atmospheric end. When Huddersfield actually decided to sing (Not very often), they were louder than our fans in SS1 ever are. It's just the acoustics.

Overall I'd say 6/10
 
Huddersfield fans were shit considering how many there were and how they can’t have gone with any real expectations of winning, and our fans were fairly decent considering there was no jeopardy and it was a bit of a stroll.

I also went to Stamford Bridge yesterday in the Preston end and it was a good demonstration of how shit home fans can be when they’re much better than the visitors. Not a peep from them apart from celebrating their goals whereas Preston’s support was non-stop and loud - far better than Huddersfield today in similar circumstances.

We might complain about how quiet we are sometimes but we’re by no means as bad as some.
 
Huddersfield fans were shit. 8,000 there, half of them sat down could only sing lower league standard fare about football in a library. Granted top tier can’t hear lower in the SS, but I was in Family Stand today and City made more noise than they did. Some right cocky little pricks amongst them as well, there’s a video doing the rounds of a City kid who’s taken a right smack off one of them on the tram.

where you seen that?

and true, they spent more time singing (when the did) about no singing from city fans than they did their own club.

Tin pot yorkshire inbredded tw@ts
 
It was always going to be difficult today, especially with them having the whole of ss3. When in full voice and the roof above it’s very difficult to be louder. Thought we were decent at times, but for me it showed why a proper home end is so important.

I’ve seen the video that’s been mentioned above. It’s basically a young kid in a city shirt getting punched in the face. Yorkshire twats targeting kids! They never do it against people their own size

I think it’s a combination of many things. For lots of fans it’s now a habit to leave early to beat the the rush home and the congested traffic around the ground after the match, getting out of the car parks quicker, the poor and over crowded public transport back into town after the match with not enough buses and trams laid on, and having to queue up to get on both, the chance to get back into town earlier to get a drink and food, City being in-front and seeing most games out by playing sideways, backwards, and just keeping the ball, which can be boring and frustrating at times, if we’re honest about it.

I disagree with the sideways backwards and ball retention part. I love peps tactics. One poster said said lock the gates till the end of the match lol radical but brilliant idea also no food or drinks.
 
Felt like more movement was seen in our stewarding than the game, early on.
Heard people comment that there were less tourists in the South Stand, and that the ball boys looked equally less up for the game than the away team. Heard someone sneeze, way down the rows, which was a first.
Pretty quiet atmosphere but the business end of the season approaches and 3 more games this month. Mustn't grumble.

The few Terriers I met were nice enough. It being Sundaym, they were probably more miffed about missing prime TV on the way 'ome.

Have to agree, wasn't over impressed with Udders fans considering how many they had there. They made a bit of noise on their rare attacks, but didn't seem to sing much apart from 'Is this a library' 'WWYWYWS' etc...how original is that! Got to say I was expecting the 'you're shit, ahhh' from them also when Ortega took goalkicks (not that he had to take many!)
The booing of injured players(one who went off injured) was different, their songs weren't!
Atmosphere was probably as expected from City fans, played some good stuff but a fairly routine victory, so it was never really going to be that great (as would have been the case with most Premier league teams beating teams from lower divisions). Great reception for KDB though.

The Huddersfield fans were snalll-time and classlesss and not particularly loud considering the size of their following. Booing injured players is a bit pathetic. They didn't get behind their team.

EDIT; Having now seen the video of the young City fan being glassed. I would also add that, as well as being classless, the Huddersfield fans are also cowardly animals.

Great to see so many youngsters there, start them young and grab them for life.

Completely agree. Affordable pricing and a weekend kick off make a massive difference to that.

You don’t see large amounts of families at league games and there are never as many tourists at cup games compared to champions league games
