Atmosphere at the KP

[RonnieTodger]

Clappers for me

[MattFox]

Clappers first but the musics got to be the focus after that.

 

Should have binned the clappers at the end of the Champions League season

Not sure what the goal music issue is to be honest. I’m all for a good atmosphere and this invokes fond memories of the 20mins I spent inside the Estádio do Dragão in 2016 🥰 

 

We had goal music during our best few seasons atmosphere wise at KP. I think it’s barking up the wrong tree in terms of thinking that stopping it will improve things 

Goal music can work but you have to find the right song. Ours is flat and as many say, kills any spontaneous goal celebration.

I disagree to be honest. As I say, we’ve had the goal music for years and our atmosphere was the best in the country. 
 

If music is ruining the spontaneity of a celebration, then it won’t matter which song gets picked

 

Most of the stadium usually breaks out into Carnival Du Paris on their own accord anyway. That’s as regimented as goal music 

 

Like I say, I’m not pro goal music at all. I just don’t think it affects the atmosphere as much as some think. 
 

The clappers on the other hand…

Well I am kind of saying goal music isn't all bad but it needs to be well picked. It's a bit of a catch 22. It drowns out cheering/chanting but on the other side gets people to join in who would otherwise be quiet.

 

Examples of goal music I like would be Borussia Monchengladbach who use a Scooter song and there are probably some other decent ones in Germany (and probably throughout Europe).

[KrefelderFox666]

And yes, most of us agree on clappers needing to be sacked off (or at least reduced).

Scooter? 😂

‘Get on my raving shoes and boarded a plane’

 

What a time to be alive the early 00’s were 

[Unabomber]

We should’ve binned clappers after the title win. Ranieri should’ve retired after that too, it was such a mental season we should’ve just started again after it.

I don’t think ending goal music will necessarily improve the atmosphere during the game, as such. 
 

It should be banned because it ruins goal celebrations - as well as being generally shit and embarrassingly naff. 
 

The reason why the atmosphere was good in 2016 was because, erm, it was out most successful season ever. 

 

Nothing to do with any of the club’s paraphernalia for me - as evidenced by the fact we have goal music and clappers now and the atmosphere is crap

Witnessed it first hand at Gladbach and it really works. Was it Wolfsburg who had Coldplay a few years ago? They even made that sound great!

 

Not a fan of it here though. Natural goal celebrations feed into spontaneous songs and more people getting involved. The current situation does the absolute opposite.

I know what you’re saying. As I say, I’m not pro goal music at all.

 

The worst we’ve ever had was Chelsea Dagger 😩

Another thing I enjoy in Germany (and happens a lot throughout Europe) is the fans shouting out the lineup just before kick off (and for goalscorers). I can never see that happen here.

This is an interesting point actually. I've been at PSV where they made zombie nation sound wicked. Maybe if it was possible to make it more player centric I'd buy in to it. Impossible I know but zombie nation blasting out when mahrez was here or even gala when vardy bagged would seem better. Imagine the limbs when pitbull blasts out as big Dan scores a late winner

[Vlad the Fox]

Now if they played LSF as goal music and faded it down so the crowd took over, that could work.

Birch tried it a few seasons ago. It never really took off so was binned

JANNICK!!……

Boooooooooooo

[NasPb]

Here in Sevilla after a goal they yell the players name, (not immediately after, the po guy says for example 

Gol marcado por jules... 

And the fans say KOUNDE

that's decent. Goal music should be shot into the sun along with clappers though 

 

I get the younger crowd likes some of these things but there is a middle ground, the worst thing I've heard is people singing along to the goal music, absolutely horrible, ain't nothing to even sing just the beat as well! Horrible stuff!

I'd be down for different fan groups having the chance to "design the experience" now and again. Taking the singing section idea one step further for example but also choosing pre match build up (or not), goal music (or not), post match etc etc 

 

Fan democracy and all that. Someone back me on this.

Mostly because he'd go to read out Patrick Kisnorbo and get "McCarthy" in response.

Interesting that you can correlate us playing great football to our great atmosphere for 2016 yet can't correlate us playing like shit to a shit atmosphere.

 

The clappers undoubtedly have served a purpose whether anyone likes it or not. I remember the difference they made for the 1st leg of the Watford play off game. Yes they might have ran their course but they aren't the cause of any problems.

[Dan LCFC]

Clappers by a mile. Our atmosphere will never ever be good while they're there. A vampire on our atmosphere.

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Yeah I'd happily tolerate Kungs for eternity if I didn't have to hear the sound of clappers ever again. Just thinking of them now makes my skin crawl. I won't ever be able to articulate how much I hate them.

[ashfosse]

At most, give the family stand clappers. Sack them off everywhere else.

 

Clappers totally ruin the Vichai had a dream chant as well. 

[AllGoneTitsSchlupp]

being in the section against rennes made me realise just how bad the clappers are, seeing the whole of the east stand sat there just whacking them along to the song. the noise they make is horrendous as well

I'm to the left of UFS every week and that's the but that ****s me off the most, as soon as a song/chant gets going you get the horrible slaping noise of 20000 using clappers. Clearly the club like the fact they think it is getting everyone involved, but it kills any lyrics.

 

I'd love to know if the players enjoy playing with that horrible monotonous drone going on in the background. And as you say you look up and its like 8000 lemmings in the east stand
