New survey (Atmosphere)

[uwerosler28]

stop increasing the prices and pricing out the type of fan who creates atmosphere whilst replacing them with tourists who are there to experience the atmosphere rather than help enhance it

If it wasn't for the WestHam and Blackburn fans the atmosphere would have been v. Poor. We need to become more vocal before scoring. Lets not forget that clubs have taken the piss out of the swamp goers for exactly the same thing. It's a shame because the footy is a joy to watch.

I have said it before and i will say it again.The people who want to sing and create an atmosphere are too fragmented all over the ground.Most are surrounded by some people who the only sign they are alive is when they get up to leave or go to the toilet.The rest of the time they sit or stand in a stupified silence throwing disaproving or smirking looks at anyone who shows some passion.Why they bother going to a live game is beyond me.

We need one stand behind the goal where everyone is committed to joining in and not sitting there like Victor fucking Meldrew after a sleeping tablet.No sensitive faint hearts and no kids under 16.The hard part will be getting them to move and finding room for them.In the south stand there used to be a woman with a voice that could curdle milk screaming at everyone to sit down every few minutes.Thankfully she has been silenced and/or moved and everyone now stands without any grief.

Once they get this stand sorted the team then need to kick towards it in the second half.Every other team plays towards their vocal end in the second half except us,we play to the family stand....why???

I honestly think theres not much that can be done. There are just too many people there, families with kids, elderly people, quiet people etc that simply do not want to have to make the effort to sing/stand up/be 'atmospheric' during the game.

Just done it. Important to let them know what you think rather than just moan to your mates, or on here.

Hopefully we have the whole of southstand when the stadium gets expanded, and also safe standing!

Why the fook do they call it safe standing?? all standing is safe tbh,its the incompetant pc plods that make it dangerous..

Last year there were millions on the streets of london for the queens luvly jubly jubilee, where they all allocated seats?? fuck dat..yet put 47000 fans in a stadium to watch football and though shalt sit the fuck down and do as you're told....
And the powers that be wonder how to enhance an atmosphere..Atmospheres do not happen naturally they have to have a catalyst,and the best way to make sure you are heard is to make yourself look bigger by standing up..its a purely primal instinct..

why do you think people sit down when doing peaceful protests?? cos sitting down makes you look smaller and is a sign of subserviance..yet football fans are asked to do a mix of one and the other..


Its all a matter of human nature..

To get full effect of what im saying,stand up and read it.. :)

Easy to rectify the lack of atmosphere - stop making every game so important. In other words stop winning, the tension kills me. Used to love a sing song at the match now I'm a nervous wreck

We could do with better hand drying facilities, those paper towels we used to have were far better than queuing (or not - I've given up).



(Seriously I didn't answer that, in fact I can't imagine anyone would answer that this would make their match day experience better, but it is a minor gripe I have, the towels were better, they just needed a couple more dispensers, and bigger bins to put them in, not some (not enough) flash dryers.)

Just what I said in the closing comments box... Bring back standing sections, regulations permitting
