Stadium atmosphere

We can blame everything we like. Acoustics, age, early kick offs, whatever you like.

 

It just comes down to lack of effort. 

Yep. I do think the acoustics aren't great but that's more how it comes across on TV. If you've ever heard a good away end here then that's proof enough that it's just an excuse.

 

I'm not expecting Galatasaray overnight but it's pretty bad if half the grounds ****ing off early again. Become everything we once claimed to hate.

This is reassuring to see. There is hope yet!

Pretty creepy to record and post videos of another person’s child at the football.

That lad needs to get down to the section

We cracked it towards the end of last season. Love it. I'm in the corner of the West Stand and everyone was standing up and belting out WYS. Sounds like an anthem sung as loud as any other. And it's ours. 

Shame they don't play it for a little bit longer during the coin toss and other preliminaries. Pretty sure it would catch fire.

Heard @Union FS from L1.

Cracking effort lads👍👍👍

Just the 3rd and last 'The. Whole. World. Smiles. With. Youuuuuu' with the PA turned off is all that's needed. 

 

I don't tend to frequent the shop but I've not seen anyone wearing merchandice bearing the song words. Think the club could be missing a trick here and should be promoting it widely.

WYS was noticeably louder on Saturday I thought. In regards to the general atmosphere, as has been the case through the years at home matches we've got probably two/three pockets of vocal support, but obviously not all in one place. In the future, if the G1/SK1 corner expands the current 'section' possibly with safe standing, then it will make a significant difference in my view as the section needs to be larger to have a more audible impact. In spite of all the varying factors about the atmosphere, it comes down to the fanbase at the same time. As a side note, noticed Spurs have now introduced a dedicated section at their stadium which caters for around 1500.

We seem to beat ourselves up about our lack of atmosphere. But having a look around other forums you'll see the exact same conversations. I'm not sure if we're any worse or better than almost all stadiums. Football and football fans have changed with the nice stadiums and the chess board style game we watch doesn't always provoke excitement and noise. 

 

I don't know what it sounds like on the telly but I think there's always a buzz around even during the times of not much going on. My sister went on Saturday, big fan but can't often go, and texted me afterwards to say how brilliant the atmosphere was and the deafening noise when we scored the winner.

When the stadium expansion happens I’m personally looking forward to most is the merge of L1/SK1 in a safe standing area

I've said it before and I think I'm in a minority but I just wish we had a better version of WYS to play - I'd love to join in but I just can't get David Brent and his guitar out of my head when it comes on

I don’t consider it a high horse. Again, I don’t equate a kid behaving like an idiot goading opposition as generating atmosphere. Or adults for that manner. It’s just pathetic.

There's absolutely no hope for him, in fact all those around him, a combined IQ of 36. 

 

Still at least he can swear and rage inside the stadium, then he's off to play postcode wars with his blade after the game.

Working class people at a working class sport. Who'd have thought it.

You think because you sit there on your arse with your clapper, you’re smarter and better than those who want to have some fun

For its continued success the club would need to look at ways to both link the singers at the front and back and possibly more importantly facilitate movers for those that still over a season in stand there mouth shut forcibly.

You'd have said the same if you'd have seen the way I was around away fans in the East Stand at Filbo back in the day, but I was aware at a young age the difference between inside a football ground and outside of it. You can't really judge based on that video.

[kingkisnorbo]

Remember everyone, swearing at the football = low IQ family and penchant for knife crime. A lot on this forum and in general love to play snot nose about fans and the demonisation of the working class is absolutely rooted in it. It's a kid at the footy getting above his station and having a laugh. I did it, as many others will have done. For the record, I am a relatively intelligent person who doesn't indulge in knife crime.

Not at all, and I don't use a clapper for starters. I just don't think a kid acting up like that is something to be praised.
