Atmosphere 2024/25

Just remembered something from last night: they cut the pre-match Blue Moon before that cheesy “I said Blue Moon” bit started. First time it’s ever happened.

They didn't want another fine for another late kick off, I think.

I hate that version so much, so many other versions that would be better

 

[TheGhost]

Are there any plans for 1894 to get the SSL3 usual away section as a singing area for the Bournemouth game ?

Make the front an 18-30 section and ask the club to do cheap drinks in that bar with an early opening?

Hallelujah. I’ve long advocated for an end to the fast version.

There were a group of them on our tram back to ashton,they were on from the stadium as the tram doesn't stop at asda after games,so they must have come out very early to make their way round to the stadium stop,all quiet as fk.all got off at ashton town centre too so god knows where they were going.

There was a few of them in Wetherspoons Ashton beforehand . One matches the description being touted about. Probably staying at the Village hotel or something . No issues beforehand with them.
The people around me in Block 111 seemed to be the core city fans again. It was like going back a few years, great night and atmosphere, the tourists conspicuous by their absence .

Don’t think there any plans for the game until the fixture is confirmed?

Yes, this time at the front of SSL3 rather than the back.

I watched the Palace v Forest semi-final yesterday.

The Palace support was the best support I’ve heard for a semi-final match at Wembley.

Non stop support and singing for the whole match.

Aided by an Ultra section at the front of L1, and a drum, which wasn’t banged continuously for 90 minutes, but was used in rhythm with the chants, and wasn’t used at all during some chants. Credit to the drummer. He got it spot on.

If City get to the final our support will struggle to match ot better Palace’s support, if it’s anything like it was yesterday.

Well said, John, it will be the https://hf05.org/group/; they have a capo stand in their home end, what do we have, padded seats in the so-called Blue Wall

I know it’s a bit cheesy but I have to agree with you. Their support was magnificent yesterday.

Ha!

Great spot. :-)

I must have still been drunk from last night when I posted that this morning.

It is cheese from a PL fans perspective.

I absolutely agree that banging a drum non-stop continually for 90 minutes is counter productive to building and maintiang a good support and atmosphere. But when a drum is used correctly, in rhythm with the chants, or not at all during the chants, letting fans sing on their own, it can aid the support and atmosphere, like Palace did yesterday.

1894 have organised a singing section at Wembley today, and will be using a megaphone. (cue the retorts and piss taking)

Can we just have non stop 'Empty seats at home' please Bob?

 

[EastMidlandsBlue]

May get stick for this, but I thought that's the best we've been at Wembley in a non rag game. Absolutely fantastic (despite the empty seats)

 

[Mr Soprano]

Thought we were brilliant today.

Well done to all those that were here.

They might’ve sold out their end but you wouldn’t have known it- they hardly got going. Loudest at full time to clap their players off.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Was like sitting at a county cricket ground - could spread out and put your jackets on the seats around you. But we did create a good noise still.
Jeez just glancing at the tv screens - have Liverpool won 5 on the trot or The Quad? Sky - talk about milking it!!

[Brightwell Bros.]

Early goal helped loads but that was a stand and concourse full of proper blues that battered a poor Forest crowd. I suspect they turned up too early and burned themselves out before the doors had even opened. Looked like we paced ourselves today.

 

[Tim of the Oak]

We outsung Forest for 93 minutes and then they had a paltry loud chant for the last minute. Well done Blues
