beaverface Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 What are everyones thoughts on the atmosphere tomorrow? Going to be a complete change around with a side stand being missing, a brand new stand, the corner of the Dolman now meeting the new South Stand, the Dolman roof being extended further and home fans being by the tunnel. I've got a feeling that the sound will reverberate quite nicely between the Dolman and South Stand, and the Atyeo stand with it's unreserved former East Enders giving a good go also.........here's hoping for plenty of noise! Of course a few early home goals would help as well :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 If the atmosphere is dead then at least it can be blamed on having a three sided stadium, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Don Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 It'll be like going back to the late 80's with the away fans next to the Dolman, hoping for an old school atmosphere this season for a large proportion of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flagon Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 I'm pretty hopeful it will be way better than last year. Attendance will already be higher, should be far more away fans at games sandwiched between two vocal areas. That was the only thing lacking a fair bit last season which was such a shame given it was so successful. But that's progress sometimes, cannot wait for tomorrow.

Desso Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Music will be too loud as usual for any atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC_95 Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 The Williams, to me personally, was always the quietest stand atmosphere wise, so having it missing and everyone effectively in a less spaced out area and more acoustically focused from one point, I think it will be louder...but I'm not ITK so who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Tense, very tense... have to hope we score first or could turn out to be a real party pooper... Tense? I was thinking a party and a drink to celebrate being back where we are. Probably/hopefully too happy and merry to be tense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do tend to agree with that, however I can't see any pre match atmosphere happening, I think everyone will be too busy looking around the new concourses.

Jevans Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Quiet i think. Im really dissappinted that the two blocks mext to the away fans are going to be strictly seated. I think thats a real atmosphere killer, even if it is just young children they can still go on stand on seats while everyone else stands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a result our singers are allowed flags and a lot more leeway than they've had before. Atyeo will be fine. Sound should move well around SS/Dolman but requires them to join in to utilise that!

As the previous poster just said, we could recreate the 80s atmosphere by ripping out seats from the Dolman and hurling them at the Brentford fans. In turn they could recreate the away end feel by lighting a big bonfire in the middle of the away end, Millwall 1985 style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Wonder how early people leaving will make for the new vomitories in Dolman? It's my first time in the Dolman since the old 'A' block days, so can someoone give a signal when I should start to leave for half time and full time please.

Mate, you should have been in the enclosure that particular evening, made the Park End look like a Sunday School picnic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIDER NOT CIDRE Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 My prediction is that it will start really well and the Atyeo in particular will be buzzing. However as the game goes on and we fail to score it will become tense and will remain so until we or they score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotham Brow Red Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Going to different that's for sure. Will feel more enclosed and a bit louder as the new stand goes up but obviously that's a while off yet. Dolmanites better get used to having to Dolman salute due to having no Williams to hide the sun. Saying that what happens on the grass makes the atmosphere so come on you reds and it'll be grand.

ralphindevon Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 I'm looking forward to hearing the noise from the SS, albeit just from when we score or get close. The old east end was a great stand for atmosphere.......if you were in it, you could barely hear anything coming out of it, if you were elsewhere in the ground. The new stand should be the opposite, which will be much better for the stadium as a whole, the p,ayers especially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar BS3 Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 I expect the atmosphere to be good despite the Williams not being there. The Atyeo should be good and the Dolman A & B blocks always respond when it's going. I just hope the new Atyeo lot leave the "Eastenders" songs which alienate and annoy most other areas of the ground. IMO. Sing loud, sing proud and hopefully this season will be great, whatever happens on the pitch, let's have away fans leaving saying "**** me, their fans were good" COYR.

Non-East Ender here: No, they don't. They make me proud. And I haven't heard anyone else complain or talk of alienation or annoyance at the East End songs either. Where did that come from?

Anyway, my post wasn't meant to be negative or having a dig at them, it's was hoping they might move on and create a new legacy. COYR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
