CiderHeadDan Posted August 16, 2022 Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 (edited) Admittedly only watched from Robins TV tonight, but the fans came across so well through the screen. It shows it’s a doubled edged sword, if the players put the performance in, then it will be rewarded by fans who pay their hard earned money to see the lads. Great effort all around!

Red-Robbo Posted August 16, 2022 Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 Was going to say this. Obviously, an early goal and excellent performance buoyed us, but I think the fans were excellent - noisy even in "quiet" sections of the ground - and still singing and urging us on nearer the end when we were under the cosh. It was lovely to hear. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pezo Posted August 16, 2022 Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 We do seem to prefer a night game. I love it when the whole stadium gets going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know if we’ll ever know the real attendance but I’d be surprised if it was half full, though I can’t see the higher Lansdown from the lower. Great atmosphere though. I’m trying to remember two consecutive games with such a difference in attendance from the Sunderland game to tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gee3tee Posted August 16, 2022 Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 Not sure what the gate was but much smaller than against Sunderland BUT it was a triumph of quality over quantity. Not just the S82 corner but other areas added to a great atmosphere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure after having a gate of 25,000 v Liverpool in the cup, our next home gate was less than 8,000 for a League game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree for the most part, considering the crowd we did make some decent noise. Slightly let down by the muppets in S82 trying to start the "you must be shit we're winning at home" chant going into the final 10 minutes. Just why? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiltshire robin Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 Fair play to everyone for the noise tonight , reminds me of the 2-2 draw with Norwich when the ground was at its emptiest for a while yet the atmosphere was great .

Oh yeah, that would have been a huge difference if it was that low, I can remember the 2 games but not the following league game. I was thinking league games though for fairness. The Dolman, South stand and lower Lansdown had loads of empty seats, I presume the higher Lansdown was worse and the away end wasn’t even a fifth full.

Maybe when we're down to the "hard-core" it's easier to get an atmosphere going than at big matches with several thousand occasional or first-time attenders, who may not know the songs? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The atmosphere was terrific last night for for exactly the reason highlighted and took me back to days of LJ when there was a distinct lack of atmosphere that LJ complained about without considering why that was so…….it was definitely the uninspiring and dull football he served up. Huge difference between then and last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topper 123 Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 17350 not that bad attendance seeing the deluge of rain between 6-7 and that’s a time a lot of people leave home so can make up peoples minds not to attend and watch on the stick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
