Atmosphere - 2023/24

I dont usually bother but reading the comments below shows there is not much hope for this world :-)

Just shows how different British humour is from humour around the world, the fact that most of those commenters can't even comprehend the fact that the chant is ironic

Sky clearly do something to the mics, there is a completely different sound if I turn over to bein sports.

I have a pal who works free lance editing matches for all channels incl. Sky .. he adds replays where his team feel they could be a contentious decision and gets told to keep crowd mics muffled until they are sure its not a ermm bit of blue. Basically controls the narrative of matches! He half jokingly says he can control the league picking certain aspects of the match to replay..slow motion and control fans perception of other fans as well. We never get the close up shots or acknowledgement like the geordies. Dippers or West Ham get despite our numbers and volume! Its all orchestrated.

Sounded loud and proud at Forest and the “You Cheating Bastards” chant is Classic City humor. Sadly, the masses don’t appear to do extreme irony, even when it comes from fun fans!!

Going off some of the comments from those who were there, it seems there's a lot of disagreement as to how loud/quiet both sets of fans were.

Not being there myself, I can't say I'm as qualified as those who were but from my own perspective I watched both the Brighton and Forest games in the Beach Cabin Bar in Tenerife and we came across really loud at Brighton and quite loud at Forest.

From my view at home it looked a very poor show from Brighton. Empty seats from the very beginning, tons of early leavers and silence from them for most of the game.

They’ve run out of hope or anything to play for.

The other reason the atmosphere is better at finals is that fans often have to sit wherever they can so you get vocal fans on the top tier. All the noise started in the top corner for last year’s final. When you’ve got a roof to bounce off a few lads can get an anthem going. Like “You’re fucking shit” for example.

I find that chant (even if ironic) really bad..... we used to get slapped about a lot 80's and 90's by the best teams then and i didn't hear that sort of stuff sung anywhere. Modern phenomenon and it's ermmmm ''Fucking shit''

Forest wasn't great. Mixture of nerves, poor performance and that away end setup where you have home fans on each side AND above. Once we got the 2nd goal, it definitely picked up.

Yeah, I wasn't referring to Brighton fans in my post - only us at both Brighton and Forest, and Forest fans

He was referring to the FA Cup Final against United though and surely we're allowed to sing it against those cunts. After all, they sang enough put-down ditties against us when we were shit and they weren't.
