English football crowds simply aren't the same demographic as they are in a lot of other countries or as they used to be here. Forcing people to relocate might bring a small improvement in volume but anyone thinking we're ever going to transform into the noisy vociferous support you get abroad is deluded.

Tension creates atmosphere, it's really as simple as that.
Whether it be a derby, or a game with something on it.
The rest is just window dressing. A general malaise is consistent between both team and fans, dependent on opposition.
It has always been like this.
A confined incident, related to a sending-off, contentious moment, is the only break from the norm.
It is consistent across football. The tribalism has been sanitised.
Hence, why away followings are a totally different match-day experience, totally different across the board.
It is the British mentality, of fighting your ground (metaphorically), showing your numbers, turning up, and trying to outdo your foe.
You see it with the following England have to major tournaments, also.
In a nutshell, you can lead a horse to water....

got to agree well said.fbloke said:Its not rocket science now is it.
Whilst we were still playing at the Grand Dame of Moss Side there was one of the worlds largest standing terraces and it was typically men, and young men and mostly working class young men in there (and lets be honest many many of them were pissed up) with almost no stewarding.
It was US against THEM and US normally won out when challenged vocally.
Now you have men women and kids, loads of the middle class types who wouldn't last 2 minutes on the streets of Moss Side of old - and they are split and divided by the away fans.
They are more BLur than Oasis and guess what the atmos' is pap.
My solution, get one end full of home fans, give tickets away to kids from the local PRU's, get them pissed up and watch it rock............

Those that answer yes to both questions lump 'em all together in unreserved seating, that way they will be in early for the decent spots.

talking about atmosphere in germany:
it is standing
it is beer
and it is organized fan groups.
as you may imagine, you can´t do things like that without such groups
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzJoxWCNVPc&feature=fvst[/youtube]
and there is at every club a guy with a megaphone or a drum leading the atmosphere, as you hear in this vid.
