Atmosphere - 2023/24

[Hiley rated]

There’s a definite correlation between the atmosphere at ‘less glamourous’ away games ‘bigger’ away games. Seems like the tickets end up in the right hands for games like today and Luton away etc. Less corporate interest?

 

[Tim of the Oak]

Great support from the travelling Blues. Loud and proud

Fantastic today at Palace. Interesting that the Palace fans sang "we forgot that you were here" after we'd been continuously singing for 20 minutes.

8.5/10

I think you’ll find it was the other way around. City sang it at the Palace fans when they got their consolation.

you are correct

Great support. I watched it on Bein sports and very loud all game. I was the only City fan in the pub in Lanzarote and as the rest of the pub celebrated Palace scoring, I felt the need to jump up like a loon for every goal of ours!

Let them know you're there. CITY CITY

 

[CC1]

Brilliant as usual

 

[Zabbasbeard]

Absolutely awesome particularly that memorable version of Made of Stone. Take a bow if you were there, whether you're called Sheila or not.

This did happen yes, however I'm referring to an earlier moment after we'd sung a particularly loud rendition of Hark now Hear, and a small number of palace supporters in the main section were singing it.

I was sat towards the front, and everyone around me also acknowledged this so I'm not mistaken

 

[Northblue]

Lots of fun that was, nursing a sore head on the train back now, glad the made of stone chant got a solid outing - we only have limited time while we can sing it so let’s get it fully going while we can!

 

[Baggins.mcfc]

A great team performance today, only to be matched by the city fans. Never stopped singing today, the Palace fans would have been sick of listening to all the city them city songs. Well done to all of you.

“Ultras” v Proper atmosphere.

Hopefully that settles that one for good.

Probably what the ultras had been scheduled to sing so sang it anyway despite it being a load of bollocks.

Even the lass on the comms said we hadn't stopped singing all second half. That put to bed the assertion that you can't have an atmosphere at an early kick off too.

“Ultras” v Proper atmosphere.

Total of about 200 of them singing behind the goal. They’re absolutely nothing without their drum.

And to the club execs who want to replace us with new fans - look at the away end today - that is something you will never he able to replace.

That’s not quite true is it. The Palace Ultras create a good atmosphere at Selhurst Park and get the rest of the Palace crowd singing. At least give them some credit. If City were 1-4 down against Palace at the Etihad you’d hear a pin drop and the Etihad would be half empty with 15 minutes to go. I don’t remember our fans roaring City on when Palace staged a come back at the Etihad this season. Yes, the Palace Ultras don’t travel well or support their team well away from home, but the Palace Ultras are good at home. It’s easy to have a pop at home fans (as we know all too well) when the away team, on this occasion City, are winning 1-4.

 

[jrb]

And just because the Palace Ultras use a drum that doesn’t make their home support shit or any less better than our support at the Etihad without a drum. There have been plenty of times when their home support has out-sung our away support over the years at Selhurst Park.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Our away support is superb even with a fair share of Tommy Tourists (how the f*ck do they get tickets ?) we are loud and proud on the road.

 

[Silva2021]

Absolutely awesome particularly that memory version of Made of Stone. Take a bow if you were there, whether you're called Sheila or not.

What’s the end part, couldn’t work it out

Sometimes I fantasise
Won the league under Mancini
And again with Pellagrinni
Don’t these times
Fill your eyes
Now we’ve got Pep Guardiola
And the blues are taking over

…..

Anyone help

 

[Lee the Blue]

As a Blue of 40 odd years that was a top atmosphere today. Took my daughter on only her 2nd away trip and she loved it and sang along throughout. Backing from Our end got louder after we conceded. A memo to Palace - Having a dick with a drum does not constitute atmosphere or soul btw. Raucous backing again from our away end - Made of Stone a top song and Rico quickly becoming a cult hero with the match going Blues. On to the next one.

In England yes but Europe no, palace ultras are tame and don't have the numbers compared to the Italian, German Dutch Scandinavian and eastern European ultras.
Ultras here are lame, I'd even say ultras from USA and Australia are better.

 

[Frankie lad]

I swear toon and rags have two possibly three songs we have a veritable repertoire of witty poetry.
Just brilliant today every one of you folk today. All those not there listening were proud blues
