That night at Bristol was real Quality,but rem we still had a lot of the Ninian Park crowd still going :thumbright: :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf:



Amazing that day, we were very restricted maybe 1500 or 2500 but we outsung them even when they brought that Baldrick bloke on to the pitch to get them going :ayatollah: :bluescarf:

That day and Leeds home FA Cup and of course the Swansea games stand out for atmosphere and committed singing for me .......


The singing at the end of the game at Ashton gate was also amazing and our players especially Earnie loved every minute of it :thumbright:

Yes Leeds and the Jacks gamesalso very special :thumbright: :thumbright:

Too many excuses for my money. Its not quantum physics, if you want a good atmosphere then you gotta sing. If you don't sing, you cant really complain about the atmosphere. For me, showing the odd game with a good atmosphere highlights how bad our support is rather how good it can be, because we have needed it so often and have failed to deliver almost every time. Its our job.

Simply put, if Slade was delivering the quality as manager as we are as fans - then hes have been sacked a long time ago with mass approval from us.

Stewards have destroyed atmosphere at ccs. Our away support proves that the fans can unite as one. Looking forward to bournemouth away next Saturday

Amazing how Nash has gone from being one of the lads to a jobsworth idiot who is destroying our traditional fanbase. I wonder whether Wayne sat down like a good boy when he went to stoke all those years ago.

I enjoy going to watch home games as much as any time since I started as a 9 year old in 1967. It is different, not better, not worse. I can sit with my family in safety, not having to worry about the away fans being chased through us by mindless morons as happened in the 60s and 70s (Villa games were particularly bad, as I remember).

One thing makes atmosphere - the performance on the pitch. The crowd respond accordingly. You can't say we don't get atmosphere when we wear red - last year's Man City game proved that. That game also had a full family stand, and full of the new band of supporters.

The struggling years in the lower leagues may have been fun for the old school supporters, but the reason there were so few people in the crowds was that the football was crap. It's only stupid addicts like us who go week in, week out no matter how good or bad we are. The rest of the world decide whether they want to spend hard earned money watching your team lose. It's human nature, I'm afraid.

Same anywhere.

I have watched a few premier games on TV this season. I've not been able to do that for a few seasons. I watched a game at Villa Park, don't recall who they were playing but you could hear a pin drop. Generally all over the country the atmospheres are poor except for the exciting games. To me it just feels the battle against British hooliganism which at the moment is being won by the authorities is the reason atmospheres are poor. I'm not claiming it was the hooligan that produced the atmosphere but I certainly feel the stamp down on them has had a widespread effect in the grounds.
