Take a look at the giant flags

Take a look at the giant flags that will greet every Cardiff City goal as club follow Chelsea and Arsenal's lead
The club has introduced the giant 5m x 4m flags to help boost the atmosphere when Russell Slade’s side play at home
Cardiff City are joining the Premier League elite by having giant flags waved at their stadium whenever the Bluebirds score a goal.
The celebration is already a familiar sight at the likes of Chelsea and Arsenal and now two flags will be waved behind the goals at the Cardiff City Stadium.
The club has introduced the giant 5m x 4m flags to help boost the atmosphere when Russell Slade’s side play at home, with the move coming following consultation with supporters' groups. They will be in place for the Bluebirds next home game when Derby visit the Welsh capital on April 2.
The club say it is all part of their new ‘fan engagement programme,’ which has also seen a frame for taking selfies introduced in the ground, face painting and the Bluebirds’ highly-successful primary school ticket league which is aimed at introducing the next generation of supporters to Cardiff.
With the flags ready to be used now, Bluebirds’ chief executive Ken Choo said the club was reacting to supporters’ wishes and promised more innovations were on their way to improve the atmosphere on match-days.
“This is another step forward in line with our re-structured fan engagement policy,” said the Cardiff chief executive.
“We want to give supporters what they want and see the giant flags as another great way of adding to the match-day experience.
“This is in addition to the digital enhancement we’ve made in each stand with the installation of our HD Ricoh projectors, the Primary School Ticket League initiative and the game-by-game match-day schemes, led by our new Fan Engagement Manager, Amy McNiven.
“This is just the start, there’s plenty more to come!”

They are doing their best but we're just a small fan base of oaps and family's now with very few lads who want to make any noise and a stadium manager that hates atmospheres

Ok... Thanks?
The atmosphere at Stamford Bridge & The Emirates is diabolical and Arsenal's ground is arguably the worst stadium in the league in terms of generating an atmosphere so I really don't understand why this idea was even agreed to... We need better performances on the pitch to increase atmosphere.
The plastics have turned their back on us but if we reach the play-offs, these "fans" will leave their sky remotes and armchairs and return to watching us. Sadly, The only way we can get a brilliant atmosphere at our club would be for the team to keep winning so that we're at the top of the league!

The club hierarchy are trying to stamp out any atmosphere in the ground as they just don't like it

Feck me, you lot will always find something to moan about 
At least the club are acknowledging there is a problem and better doing something than nothing at all
Unfortunately, we now live in a world where its all a case of 'style over substance'

If the club add to the number of flags and the crowd return I think it could look good

They look good in my opinion, dont really see how a flag is going to improve the atmosphere, all a bit gimmicky but at least the club are trying.
The main thing that will get the atmosphere going again is sometghing to cheer and fans in the stadium and it seems the club are trying on that front as well.
