"Is this a library" "You're support is ****ing sh**" "You only sing when you're winning" Have all been sung by a number of opposition fans. We should be ashamed.......at least those who don't bother should. And have been sung by our fans at multiple other grounds, it’s a football thing nowadays sadly, not just us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riaz Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 Some of the songs, that some of the lads behind me get going, are really downbeat and kill the atmosphere. Even the elliasson song which i like, is too dreary for a football song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattWSM Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 3 lads at the bottom of w13 Lansdown trying to get block going. need more of that, was quite funny as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieman Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 Sounds like most people posting on this thread are either complaining/disappointed about the lack of atmosphere or waiting for someone else to entertain them by starting a chant/song. Just a suggestion, but why not leave your inhibitions at home and sing your fricking head off? Nobody will think any less of you and the buzz you will get when the whole stadium joins in with you is something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s funny you mention that as I did try to sing a fair number of times at the back of the Dolman but a few people seemed visibly alienated which put me off - it really depends where you sit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearded_red Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 Eighteen months of dreary, mind numbing football being played at Ashton Gate leads to a sterile atmosphere. It’s not exactly surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City oz Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 I only get to games every six months when I get back home. City is quite often on Be In Sports Channel 2 and they are nearly all the away games for some reason. When I watch these on Foxtel I can always clearly hear the city chants and songs from the city supporters that travel away. Perhaps its because we play better away and you can always see the City flags proudly and plenty of noise coming from the city supporters that travel.

Red94 Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 Why after every game with a poor atmosphere is there always so many excuses, I really don’t understand it. If the team are playing boring football who cares we can still create some noise. I just wish for once everyone would stop complaining and just start backing the team instead or is Ashton gate truly dead for atmosphere now?

Lets be honest mate, atmosphere at Ashton Gate has been non exsistant since they stopped putting us by the away fans It's been shocking for some time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends what you put into it, I commented to my mate yesterday there are too many people mumbling there way through songs making them sound downbeat rather than singing with a bit of pride, put some effort in to that Eliasson song and it would be great.

Dodgy_Giefer Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 I sit in the family area, upper Lansdown. I will sing but I won’t start songs. Sadly no-one starts songs up there. We need more people to be proactive but no-one wants to start a song and not be backed up. Not sure what the answer is. Strategically placed hype men??

If they get going then others will join in. Perhaps if we had some musical instruments in addition to the singing similar to that in other grounds that would get the crowd going.

Pieman Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 I think the atmosphere is generally better at away games as those wanting to make some noise tend to congregate together at the back, with others wanting to just sit and watch nearer the front. It’s already been mentioned in this thread that not everyone in the ‘singing section’ wants to sing, couple this with others who do scattered around the ground, it makes it difficult.

steviestevieneville Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 The atmosphere at modern stadiums is poor generally now. One thing I’d like to ask though. Who the **** started with phone torches ffs . It’s a football match not a barry manilow concert . Instant 3 year banning order imo , shocking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in my proximity it's just me, a bloke that sits just behind me and a couple of youngsters who can ever be bothered to join in. Okay the Dolman's not particularlty known for making a noise except maybe block A or B, but I'm sure everyone was singing when we played Man Utd. So they can do it.

City fan 1982 Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 Has the singing section had its day , used to be quite good , lots of flags , two poles. Etc. Big surfer going overhead. yes I was there yesterday. Singing red army for ages whilst no one else around me really was. There were a few flags out granted. But not a sea of colour like Liverpool or Dortmund, even watford have lots of colour. this is not a dig at the lads who set up on matchday, fundraise etc I do appreciate their efforts Please do not be offended. Or people on here who look to get offended on their behalf. It’s not helped by the turgid football served up a home. Or is it a case of Bristolian apathy ?

stephenkibby. Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 The Sheff Utd fans seem to be able to belt it out. Plenty to sing about has to be said. They are great to watch mind, the drive and energy is a joy to watch!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
