Bar BS3 Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 I must be missing something here.... The atmosphere yesterday was great, especially first half. I wasn't sure what to expect with the scarfs but they looked fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Exile Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 The scarves looked great. Really nice idea - up there with Johnson's candles. Credit to whoever thought it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 It was a great atmosphere, great in all stands. Loads more joining in than usual, don't really know why but people just did it. My voice isn't good today. It did help that there was a stand out player to direct songs and chants at, many were really good and funny. But the best song I heard when Wham began sing 'wembley' just after they scored was the Eastenders singing something like, 'johnstones paint trophy, you'll never win that' and much of the ground joining in. A class moment. The only regret was that we never got o cheer a goal, I think I would have felt the famous Dolman shake once more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezgimed Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 The 250 or so who regularly sing in the Williams, but get lambasted by every other tucker on here, sang just as much as they usually do. Question is - Why don't the other 12,000 join in every week like they did today? I'm fed up of people slagging off the old East end group. We try every tucking week. If everyone else did what they did today on a regular basis there'd be no "lack of atmos" threads. Wise up the 12,000. Stop blaming the 250, and take some tucking responsibility. Only heard 2 or 3 songs from that area during the whole game (when no other stands were singing)...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC Jimmer Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 The atmosphere was very good considering it was 2pm, we didn't score and eventually lost the game. Not sure what some people were expecting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash the Bash Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 The atmosphere at English grounds is dire more or less everywhere you go nowadays. Ill be totally honest watching on TV it sounded no better or worse than Derby v Forest did last week and that is a supposed 'big' local derby..What did i have to be honest look shite is the lack of standing, people will argue and what not but to see pretty much every city fan sat for large periods straight away as a neutral make you think less of the atmosphere.. Agree. I was sat in Lower Atyeo near away fans, I usually stand in Williams with singers. At one point about 20-30 people right next to me stood up for a corner I think, or posibly just a chance on goal, anyway I stand up as well so I can see and a kid behind me who was about 16 tapped my shoulder and told me to sit down! Ridiculous! Think they were ST holders in that section which of course gives them the right to dish out advice regarding social norms. I certainly was not gonna sit on my arse with no view of the game. Having said that I enjoyed the atmosphere in the Atyeo. First time I'd sat there for about 10 years.

Jesus Posted January 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 To be fair, I was in a mood yesterday, the first half was ok, but the 2nd was awful. I can't really have an opinion though being based in Bournemouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too be honest everyone stands up in the Atyeo when there is a corner or chance of goal. If the people at the front stand up we can't see further up. It's all part of the excitement though, jumping up and down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean if the people at the front stand up we can't see further up? Surely if everyone gets up everyone has the same view no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Red Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 What exactly did you reply to him? If a kid of 16 tapped me on the shoulder and asked me to sit down........ Ha my thoughts exactly.. The sitting standing issue has been debated long and hard on here recently and everyone has there own view on it, personally as i said watching on tv it always looks like the crowd is more up for it when large sections are stood up. By and large the Atyeo has always been a stand that has sat down though, fair enough but as people have said its going to be interesting if people from the Atyeo move into the new east end with this attitude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha I was just a bit bemused by it because he was a young lad tapping me frantically as if it was an emergency.. think I just gave him a stare & carried on standing with everyone else during the excitement. He disappeared second half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepton red Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 ; A company not a club. Some of us where here before Mr L. Well before. There is no need for BS to put their bum print everywhere. A real WE didn't do that. You really need to move on, acquiring a football club and then making it into a going concern requires change. Life is about change, SL is dragging this club upwards, I suggest you either join him on the journey.... Or buy him out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BristolBEAT Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 The atmosphere was electric. The buzz before the game was something else. All 3 stands singing to every song, occasion driven. Helped that 12,000 fans were already in 20 mins before kick off helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exAtyeoMax Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Exactly mate. What do you mean if the people at the front stand up we can't see further up? Surely if everyone gets up everyone has the same view no? I thought that but there are quite a few old people who can't keep jumping up and down, and children who can't see. So I try not to stand up too often, but sometimes it can't be helped! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ten minutes of rough Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 You really need to move on, acquiring a football club and then making it into a going concern requires change.

Or buy him out Don't think you are really getting the concerns that many have in losing our identity, of course we need to grow, but at what cost? Do we really expect that this club can be a success in the Prem, Europe? I don't really think so, there is just not the passion for football in the City, and those that want to attach themselves to a club much prefer the brand Liverpool or Man U, witness shirt sales.

Bazooka Joe Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 What are the odds that some suit from Bristol Sport is gonna suggest we improve the atmosphere at AG by playing Russ Abbot's "Atmosphere" at every home game? You heard it here first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohbasso Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Atmosphere was great first half but pretty average second. I thought that at the ground yesterday then watched it back today and felt the same, overall a good atmosphere but could do better. 7/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to say, though, watching it on the Beeb, the only atmos that came across was scarf waving. Even the yelling of 'w*nker, w*nker, w*nker...' didn't come over all that strongly. I have to say, though, I think the Atyeo has been singing up a bit more in recent games, since the furore over PNE fans being all noisy and spotty... (it certainly wouldn't have anything to do with a certain article in a certain fanzine imploring said stand to crank up the volume!!!) It's all Billingham's fault - he brought it up. Didn't see/hear him singing. (Forget the fact I have no idea what he looks like). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
