Stadium atmosphere

Not sure that complaining about the lack of atmosphere or people piling out 5 mins early constitutes controlling what everyone does

 

The people that want to control what everyone does are the club:

Banning fans for minor infringements.

Turning rubbish music up to 11 so it drowns out support

Making it as difficult & expensive as possible for new/fringe fans to get tickets.

Dragging their heels on commencing talk about safe standing when others clubs already have it implemented.

Charging away fans extortionate amounts that mean they'll punish us with the same high prices.

Have you seen the amount of folks that go to efforts to pinch the ‘honesty flags’?

 

I find the concept itself a bit twee and cringey but the fact the club have done it and folks will try and shove them up their sleeves/in their jackets to steal them is scummy beyond belief.

 

We’ve a whole host of scroats in the stands, it seems.

Yeah that’s crazy, saw 2 lads in town with 3 of those flags on Tuesday. Some people are just idiots. Surely the club have cctv and can see who is taking them.

[Guest Kopfkino]

Wait why would people want to steal the flags anyway, what benefit do they derive from it? Like they’re only good in the context they’re in.

 

Don’t think even Cov have as many reprobates as we do.

thought it was ok yesterday. Find it so embarrassing the amount of people that leave on 75/80. 

Problem is them people say we can do what we want and they are just as much supporters as the fans who will sing  but the fact that they are so dispersed and that there are so many who don’t sing leave early and generally don’t give a shit brings the whole stadium atmosphere down we do need to try and have one part of the stadium with the fans that want to sing to make it better cov are known to have one of the best home atmosphere’s in the championship with just one corner of quality fans

I think some are being overly harsh on atmosphere at the KP. When we played Blackburn away that was truly awful 

[SouthStandUpperTier]

We English have always been a predominantly reserved bunch. We've never been as passionate, noisy or raucous as football fans on the continent, and I doubt we ever will. That's not to say that the atmosphere at the KP couldn't be better. Of course it could. But I don't think the general "I'm a better fan than you" vibe in this thread is helping improve things.

Why do you even come into this thread at all? Clearly you have no intention of trying to help improve the atmosphere so what’s the point? 

 

If you’re someone who is sat in silence for 90 minutes or leaves in the 85th minute week in week out fair enough, do what you want but when called out on being one of those people why take offence?

Dunno about the ‘I’m a better fan’ vibe. I read it as people who have ideas and/or already are making a difference, trying to spread that message whilst also being open to other ideas.

Not saying you are doing this, but people need to stop being so precious on this thread. The whole ‘people can do what they want it’s nothing to do with you’ comments are odd. If you’re that sensitive about leaving early and not making noise, don’t leave early and make noise 

[ShepshedFox1884]

If at the next home games the fans who do sing can consistently be as loud as we can hopefully that could help push more people to do it

Only in this country, in the last month ive watched games in both Norway and Germany. Stadium wide the passion there was immense.

Do people drink soup on the continent at games or ever get out blankets?

Not on about that post in particular, just the same set of people after every game.

And they in turn might say the same.

 

I've made my feelings known earlier in the thread (and I think you read it) - no point bickering amongst ourselves, it is the club that need winning over.

The fact is at almost all grounds if a comfortable home win is expected the crowd is much quieter than the reverse. I have been to  O

iiLverpool and Arsenal have been on my visits whereas Everton  Stoke Newcastle are very vocal  victory at the first 3 being surprises particularly Arsenal   which until  recently   was like  a monastrey  I think we last won there in the 70s   so result considered  a foregone conclusion

Yeah,  as if not being able to see the game is annoying. What a  clown 

I hasten to add that there was no way he couldn't see. It must've been a matter of seconds into the first time the flags went up after kick-off that he went off about it. He was stood up a row in front of me and I could see plenty. I'm not by any means a giant; I just think he wanted to complain.

I'm on a little European tour at the moment. Watched Viktoria Cologne entertain 1864 München today. Viktoria won 2-1 after München had two players sent off. This is the third tier of German football. München bought about 1500 fans. Bearing in mind Munich is about 350 miles from Cologne. They sang the entire game, even after they conceded goals and got red cards. Viktoria got the winner in injury time. Still the München fans sang. Just an extraordinary level of commitment and support. The home fans were rubbish, as was most of the football

 

Off to see Leverkusen tomorrow. Watched Vitesse Arnhem at home to Zwolle last night in the Dutch first division (Eredivisie). Arnhem fans were pretty good to be fair. 1-1 draw. Standard of team akin to lower reaches of the Championship at best.

First half was a new low, but good in the second I thought.
