What was accepted is now a ten pager of hand wringing piety on Otib. A smoke bomb is a hanging offence. The YSC would just be offence. That's where things are. Not really sure what that haiku has to do with atmosphere at AG. There's a dedicated group of fans at AG that make lots of effort to improve the atmosphere - stickers, flags, songs.. all good stuff. Maybe it's you that needs to move on and give it a bit more support rather than grumbling about it because it's not exactly the same as the 1980s.

Those chaps are responsible for what you are posting about. That's its roots. Somewhere the point of being original, a bit at times .... Well uniquely odd got lost in translation.

The atmosphere isn't that bad considering.. we've had huge upheaval at home and sadly during our double winning season (which should've had lots of great atmospheres) AG was a building site with singers pushed into the worst corner. Despite that, I don't think there's been a better atmosphere recently since Swindon at home in 2015. I think we're far far better than average. On it's day, AG is still one of the most atmospheric grounds in the country in my opinion. I think this season we'll start to see a better atmosphere consistently - S82 have a home, it's a good spot and will help the noise reverberate around the ground better than before. Add better performances to the mix and AG will be a consistently noisy ground. People should get behind it and stop sniping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedYoshi Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 29 minutes ago, Robbored said: Virtually every chant at every club were developed spontaneously during a match, not composed on a forum ffs.... Do you suppose that were no chants before the Internet? While I get this point - and I do, sometimes there can be chants suggested that clearly have been thought of whilst sat on the sofa at home, and thus naturally lack a bit of the energy/crowd mentality (which isn't to say they're bad, just in need of development/adjustment) - I also think there's a bit more to it than that. First of all, I'm not sure any chants started entirely "spontaneously" with a whole block of people just magically starting the same song at the same time. It will have required at least one person to have thought about it beforehand, at least a little bit, and more than likely involved that person mentioning it to their friends in advance, so that a decent sized group started it during a match which led to others hearing, enjoying, and then joining in with it. For those people, it was spontaneous, admittedly, but that wasn't the genesis of it. Secondly, it assumes that someone posting a chant on a forum is doing so independently of sharing it with friends in person. In fact, they may have come up with it "spontaneously" with a couple of mates in the stands, but lacked the numbers to get it started and so have used the channels available to attempt to gain traction. No, previous chants won't have been started on the internet, but if it were available then some of them - almost certainly - would've been posted/discussed. For many, discussing things on the internet (on whatever platform) is much the same as discussing things in a pub. And the fact is that it has a bigger reach than your average group of mates going to a game, so it gives rise to the potential of more inventive chants, not less. How do we know there weren't amazing chants out there that we've never heard because it was only made up by two people, stood in an area where not many people sang, and therefore they didn't feel confident enough to try it "live"? Now, those two people can talk to others who will have the confidence. Yes, this also means there will be more chants discussed, and therefore we will see more "failed" attempts. But we shouldn't dismiss it outright - creativity is at its best when people feel confident to fail. You know, or ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unique, catchy and clever. Manchester United have supporters and fanzines that attempt to be different. These fans distribute their ideas. That has became part of the fan supporting culture.
