Atmosphere 2024/25

[I'm not really here]

Hate it whoever it's a against.
I know I'll get stick for this but the guy who used to do the announcements at Liverpool was quality.
Read the team, announce the scorer, STFU!!!!

Yeah feels like he's trying too hard to be one of them German announcers

 

[Buckshaw Blue]

Yeah feels like he's trying too hard to be one of them German announcers

I cringe every time he does it.

 

[Stiff Little Wingers]

I cringe every time he does it.

I quite like it. At least it gets the crowd involved

3pm Saturday home games, always the same. Vast majority of people just want to watch a football game, react to the action on the pitch, have a couple of pints and they don't want to sing songs or chant. Just the way it is, every ground is the same, Liverpool desperately pushing for a goal at Anfield, and you could hear the players shouting.
No big deal, it's ok to watch football without singing. On the big nights the atmosphere takes care of itself.
In Germany, France and Italy you have whole sections with little interest in the football. They just chant and perform all game, we don't have that, thankfully. At Bayren there are muppets waving huge flags all game, blocking the view of the football, regardless of the action on the pitch.
Can't think of any absolutely thumping atmosphere at any Saturday 3pm game, and that's actually fine.

Sound analysis and conclusions
Chatting to some fans the driver behind this seems to be crtisism form other teams fans, the media printed tv radio, the biggest culprits blue moan and other on line forums.
Why some city lack the self confidence to say it's got nothing to do with go away is a mystery.
People enjoy and express themselves in many forms.
Do we really want to end up like some Kafkaesque Busby Berkley fan show?

This!

A loud, forced ‘atmosphere’ during a comfortable win against inferior opposition is fake as anything. An atmosphere comes from genuine tension about a result and consequences of not getting it and as you say, takes care of itself.

 

[Whitefield Blue]

Do we need the away fans to create an atmosphere? Even when they bring large allocations it usually doesn’t make any difference either, unless it’s a big game.

Thought it was decent today, but as always we need a proper home end

You’re never going to have a proper home end when the ones who proclaim themselves as the ‘singers’ only want to be either side of wherever the away fans are.

It's not just us who questions atmospheres....I was on twitter yesterday and was reading a post from a Liverpool fan moaning about the state of the Kop yesterday. No atmosphere in anfield and empty seats. Bemoaning the tourists who sit there and film. Also said his ticket was £56 but the tourist guy sitting next to him had paid £355!

Yeah but to be fair the £355 package included 12 bricks and a lifetime supply of candles.

 

[M23 Citizen]

Kick off to 35 mins - a fairly subdued start, a few songs here and there, mostly from 110-111. A bit of noise around our goals.

35 mins (after a couple of minutes singing after going 2-1 up) to 62 minutes - total silence in every part of the stadium apart from a chunk of about 200 people in 110-111 and that one Brentford fan who kept wolf whistling. There was a bit of noise from NSL1 when Gvardiol and Rodri got up to warm up.

Around 62 mins, 110-111 started singing a few songs, took the piss out of SSL1 who’d forgotten they were at a football match because they hadn’t sung since the Haaland second goal on 32 mins.

Then it was alright to the end of the game with songs coming from 110-111, SSL1, SSL3 and NSL1.

Strange start to the season from SSL1 though considering it’s the official ‘Singing Section’. Only feels like they’ve sung when 110-111 have taken the piss out of them for not singing.

 

[East Level 2]

It probably is. Brentford at home is never going to be a good atmosphere. Their fans hardly sung at all and our performance was poor.

I think I heard one "Football in a library" and two "WWYWYWS".
