so what english atmospheres are crap, weve tried the way of just letting the atmosphere creating itself that doesnt work, people say they can sing when they want- no one sings, against teams like bayern it was shit, why not try something different look at what the poznan did. If the english way of atmospheres is to sit in silence and only sing when were winning then whats the point of even going to cheer on your team .
Not slating the atmosphere, i'm explaining the difference in cultures. The Son Moix, Majorca's ground, well one of the sides of their ground has one guy who is continuously with his back to the pitch, shouting the chants he wants the fans in that part of the stadium to sing. On the opposite side there is another guy doing the same thing. Tiny little ground that, holds about 20k i'd say, perhaps less, but fuck me it was impressive to see. I spent a lot of the game watching him perched ontop of a little metal railing, getting the crowd to sing chants of his choice. It works there, and the other grounds in Spain, for example, because that has been in the culture of the Spanish football fan for decades and decades, it's what they do as football fans. Over here it is completely different, note the word different, not 'bad'. It's like that ****-faced band that follows England. I sat near them once and all I kept on thinking was 'you all look like a bunch of dry, mangled fanny's', they were doing my fucking head in, because it's not what supporters do in England, it just isn't.
