ARE PERFORMANCES LINKED TO SUPPORT/ATMOSPHERE?

BECAUSE the energy coming from the stands would not be enough
to jump start a f*cking slug.

The old days, a packed Ninian Park would be like a bear pit, and our
players would rise to the occasion.

Now, its like a f*cking mortuary. Perhaps the players find it a little hard
to get up for games? Walking out onto that pitch must be like stepping out
of a spaceship onto the moon.

Turn back the clock and play that Leeds cup game at the CCS and we'd have
lost the game 6-0.

And some of our fabulous supporters even boo the team, have a look at yourselves eh

Even though it was flat yesterday and fans booing should be strung up, the players shouldnt be relying on us to "get them up" for the game.

I agree really, but what I mean is, we are top of the league. When our players come
out they should be able to feel "f**k me 22,000 supporters here behind us, this is the
dogs bollocks"

When you have fans on here telling supporters who want to stand to f**k off and sit down then you know the club will never be the same again. We've attracted the new breeds and top four supporters who think Cardiff should achieve top four results.

Ninian Park only had a decent atmosphere when we had a few big games I have been down the city since 1975 and Ninian Park did not really intimidate other teams as we like to think otherwise we would not have been stuck in the lower division

The atmosphere was dire yesterday but no worse than some matches at Ninian Park

Take off the rose tinted specs about The old lady, Ninian Park was just as flat at times.

As if you ever went there.

I wish people just lighten the f**k up, I was standing not even in the way of this guy and he told me to sit down!, ridiculous!

No doubt that was Chuckles. The chairman, treasurer, secretary, caretaker and activist of the Sit down and shut up committee.

More atmosphere in my living room...

Atmosphere was decent to start but then the hoofballvbeing served up just deflated it.

No (to the original question) this as the old feller says is modern football, all modern stadiums and clubs are like this.

Malky for a reason only known to malky has decided to go back to hoofball, he did this last season and it still baffles me. The fans unlike what the old feller thinks do understand football and could see what the cold afternoon had in store for them. No pace, no width, no guile, and Whitts as a defensive midfilder - shocking.

Yes I was. Followed since early 90s.

Stop assuming things about people. Yet again, you've been prove wrong.

Because you say you have been going since the early 90s doesn't mean I have been proved wrong. I find it hard a long standing Bluebird would have the opinion you have in regards to those that want to support the team and stand.

Well it does. You claim I've never set foot in Ninian Park, which is total rubbish.

Some people dont want to stand at the football. im one of the. Get over it.

Theres standing areas for those that eant to stand.

I agree they should feel that Dave and when there were those type of crowds at Ninian Park the players did feel that. Players have told me there is no atmosphere in this stadium, its soulless. It comes alive when we score and that lasts 30 seconds. Bristol C home will be another test for it, nearly 2,000 Worzels in there.

Was it bollocks. Ninian Park was louder than the CCS even on a week night. The simple fact is we have fans who just love to sit down and complain and give ear destroying commentary all game of what is unfolding in front of your very eyes instead of standing, singing and getting drunk. Whenever I do make a game I need to get at least tipsy in Canton before walking to the stadium just so I can tolerate the happy clapping lefties our stadium is full of. Some of the stewards need reminding they are not police officers as well the power hungry idiots.

As I said, take off the rosé tinted specs. Yes, there were hostile atmospheres, but it wasn't like that every game.

Where did I say that Ninian Park wasn't louder than CCS? Stop putting words into my mouth and read my posts correctly.

I agree, why boo?

If you don't like the way the team is playing get lost!
I think the game was poor, but I would never boo the team, and the way say noone had a bad first half then when he made a mistake there are people shouting "For Fucks sake noone, what the f**k you doing" there is no need in that, it's going to make it harder for him!

I think it's bad they way they treat the team!

There were, remember, some quieter sections of Ninian Park, such as the right side, as you looked at the ground, of the Bob Bank (ie. away from the away fans), where people mostly sat down, and only joined in with the chants that the whole stadium was singing. The old Canton stand, could also be quieter, and most of the upper tier, on the right side (again, away from away fans), also quieter.

However, there was constant noise, caused by the left side of the Bob Bank, particularly around F Block, the Grange End obviously, the lower Grandstand, and, in later years, the Bob Bank terrace. In F Block, and other similar areas, the chanting was more-or-less constant, as one chant would follow another, win or lose.

My guess is that Chuckles, and other people who have said there wasn't always a good atmosphere at Ninian Park, to be able to say that, must have sat in one of the areas mentioned above, eg. right hand side of the Bob Bank.

NP was a dead atmosphere very often for a no mark game. I don't think the stadium design helps at all in the CCS though. I like a 4 stand stadium rather than these goldfish bowls.
