Andy082005 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Another good result for us tonight. How bad was the atmosphere again though? Real shame this wasn't thought about a bit more before this development started, the place should be buzzing every game....You wouldnt believe we were top of the league (well...that's not true actually, it's the only song we sing) Is there any plans for the supporters trust to meet with the club to discuss this for next season maybe?

HoldenBall Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 It wasn't the worst atmosphere of the season, but when it goes quiet **** me you can hear a gnat fart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Team Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 The OP makes a valid point. As good as this promotion campaign is, and as attractive as the football is, it is nowhere near as enjoyable or as fun as the Johnson and Ward promotion seasons (purely from an atmosphere point of view).

One Team That's the point in trying to make. We should be buzzing, but I can't say I massively look forward to going to each home game....as it's so flat and dull. I'm just glad and thankful the players are doing there part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lack of Action Man Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Atmosphere was good I thought. Red army went on for a good ten minutes or so. Red flag flying high heard a few times and come on you reds. Only went flat when PV had sustained periods of possession because their fans were hardly even there!

Sir Colby-Tit Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 I reckon the redevelopment is the main cause. Will perk up when it's done and we''re hopefully in the Championship with some decent away followings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Team Seriously disagree regarding the fun part. For me, fun comes from watching an extremely gifted set of footballers play excellent attacking football. Singing and chanting is a bonus.

Kingswoodactor Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Is it not because we've almost become so used to winning? I've been watching this club since the late 80's, and I've never felt like this in a season before, the feeling that when we play home or away, I feel as though we will win. And win well... Our previous promotion campaigns from the third tier felt more of a roller coaster, and with more shocks, ups & downs etc This then maybe transferred over to the fans during the Ward/Wilson/Johnson era's, thus making the games closer and the atmosphere's more electric. We've become a bit 'Prawn Sandwich' I'm sorry to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChippenhamRed Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Looked full from where I was, low Vale following and re-development is hardly helping the attendances. If the game isn't sold out then you can't really blame the redevelopment. With the team doing so well, that really is a poor attendance tonight. 10th biggest city in the country and not even 12k. I do worry what it'll be like with 27k seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISTOL86 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Been awful all season, all the more so when you consider just how good the football and results have been. Very odd. It's like we actually feel entitled now to win every game convincingly so it's not even much of a celebration when we score. 30 seconds of noise then back to being a library.

Rob k Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 No good having the fans that sing so far away from the away fans - need to be closer to make it more intimidating- It also doesn't help that there are only a handful of clubs that will bring more than about 200 fans as they don't add anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know why we're not selling out, maybe the people who were asked to move don't like their new seats and don't want to come, I don't know.. We've sold most of our home games this season so it's not all bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 The atmos is a worry. Us Bristolians (I hope I speak for the majority) look at Port Vale as a very unattractive game and this drip feeds into the mood of supporters before we even arrive at the ground. It is wrong really as we are sitting pretty at the top of the league and tonight's match proved to be a very important one, going 4 & 5 points clear of 2nd and 3rd place respectively, Nothing has really changed in my lifetime - I remember the atmosphere's as a young boy (glory days) and even in the top flight if we were not playing one of the big boys, you will have quieter days... Part and parcel of football I guess - we are all human. I sang all afternoon on saturday at MK Dons - but tonight, I hardly said a word, not strictly true of course - the ground doesnt help either as mentioned, Bizarrely, some of the best atmosphere's can be created at night matches - not tonight though !

The Fat Controller Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Don't discount the fact that we have 3 games in a week and to the casual punter this would have been the least attractive on paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
