Stadium atmosphere

[adam]

Would of been interesting to see what the atmosphere would of been like if we had won today.

Can't see UFS making much of a different with that miserable performance.

[The Quick Brown Fox]

For me the atmosphere is massively affected by what is happening on the pitch. We used to attack with intent and this got the crowd going. 

Since Puels negative football and Brendan followed that on, the lack of passion on the field comes into the stands. 

To think when we used to go behind as a fan base we knew we would have a go back and try something, there was countless times I can remember we were louder than the away team who had just scored, now there is nothing like passion on the pitch which is obviously going to go into the stands. You can scream shout, sing and chant all you want at this team and they will serve up what Brendan has driven into them. Keep the ball, recycle and restart, occasionally we get a glimpse into what we used to have but it doesn't last long. 

Think back to 2014/15, we got beat most weeks but we stuck with them and pushed them on because we always gave it a go. Now we go in limp and give in with a whimper. What is there to get the crowd up and at it? 

Give me losses with a team that tries compared to these losses where we go belly up for the oppo.

They made a difference during all the other shit performances we have seen this season though.

Why is it always the same worms lining up to have a pop at UFS?

When people pull attention seeking stunts its going to get people talking and having a pop. I think some of the stuff they’ve done is great especially the tifos but at the same time I dont think they are above reproach either. Some of them come across as highly arrogant and entitled, they definitely could have handled the seat moving situation better but for a lot of them the first response was to rub it in the faces of those that were displaced rather than being supportive. Also over the years i’ve seen plenty of them go at their own fans in the stadiums and online. 
 

I know its a highly contentious topic on here and among fans but personally I don’t think it makes you a better supporter if you sing for 90 minutes or not and the elitist attitude those that do sing for 90 minutes take to those that dont really doesnt sit well with me at all. 

[BigMicky]

As with most posters, I didn't notice until coming on here.

 

As an aside, it was flat due to the majority of fans believing Arsenal would turn us over before a ball was kicked.

Possibly not related to the atmosphere but we had 3 Arsenal fans sat in front of us today in block G1 and they were openly supporting 'their team'. One had an Arsenal shirt on under his coat and one had a 'Come on you Gunners' lock screen on his phone. They were constantly filming every Arsenal attack and were blatantly rooting for the opposition. it was mentioned to a steward by myself after about 20 minutes and all he said was 'are they causing any trouble?' As they weren't at the time it was just a 'OK thanks we will keep an eye on them'. With 5 minutes of the match left it became to much to put up with and they were challenged about their arrogance in blatantly supporting the opposition. An argument soon spread around us but luckily it didn't escalate any further but it could have easily turned nasty. I have emailed the club asking them to explain their rules regarding away fans in the home section.

Haha, what a truly middle class tory response  from UFS. Stand there and do nothing like a bunch of spoilt teenagers. The self importance is astounding. You won't be missed.

Great fan you are

Why didn’t you do something about it then instead of telling the stewards ?

I don’t have a horse in this race to be fair, I was just pointing out there is a group of people on here who cannot wait to pile in on UFS at any opportunity

This needs complaining about loudly and regularly.

 

There are city fans I know that struggle to get tickets. Those tickets shouldn't be going to away fans of big clubs.

 

Shame on the steward for not immediately removing them.

[blueharmie]

Not being funny here but tell the stewards to **** off or join in together and intimidate the ****ers .

 

Never had this problem In L1 when it all first started up.

How many are there of you compared to stewards? Come on now lads .

What's the issue though?  Surely you can control yourself.

😂😂This is the future my friend. The club will be loving this, we can be the Fulham of the Midlands and have one giant mixed stadium, where fans of both teams can come together and enjoy the game together.

In regards to are they causing trouble question, if someone had of manned up and kicked off with them, they would have then been causing trouble merely by being there.

We are a laughing stock.

There was a protest?

What an arrogant comment!! Surly you are not that dumb to know  what the issue is here?? On second thoughts you probably are, with city fans struggling to get tickets and Away fans seating in them same seats, and stewards knowing and not even doing anything about it it’s a big security risk, and today was lucky it didn’t escalate into trouble, somewhere else in the ground it probably would, so yea it is an issue!! 

[Ric Flair]

I find it laughable that they are getting advice off a collective bunch of mutes on how they should have gone about their protest today and how embarrassing being silent is. Or are you saying they don't have grounds to protest at all if they see fit?

 

You can't be the buyer and the seller

So you have made this personal by calling me thick, your retort strikes me as someone who is desperate. Care to reply to my intitial post with anything relevent or will you continue to throw petty insults.

Yea, so to resolve this issue, would of been to eject the away fans in the home end and ban who ever sold them the tickets, brutal yes but morally right!! Piss poor stewarding piss poorly run club, astonishing really after the statement they have made with away  tickets now having to prove ID!
