formerly known as ivan Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 How bad was it today? At times it was so quiet you could hear the players on the pitch. Was a great offer by the club for tickets today and one that I took advantage and maybe it contributed to the lack of atmosphere. Maybe it was the poor game of football and not giving the crowd enough to get excited about, or maybe it was just the occasion. Was very strange all round.

Combination of factors; really poor game, regular supporters moving around the ground, lots of people in the top tier, gaps in the lower tier, half term absences, small away following. But mainly the game! Hopefully those who moan about not being able to buy a season ticket in the top tier will appreciate a little more now why it's better if the lower bowl is prioritised.

054123 Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Really? Not a cracker agreed as the game was crap and their fans were non existant, but it was noisy at times in the Atyeo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

054123 Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 On reflection, we sit in the Atyeo and there's always someone trying to start a song. Some get going, some don't. If you like singing and atmosphere sit on the Atyeo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calculus Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Seemed very strange to me to see a massive gap between home and away supporters in th Atyeo. Surely it would be better to move the City supporters a bit nearer the middle rather than cram them into a corner.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Works both ways. The players and club can't expect a wall of noise if they put on a display with limited entertainment value, then at the same time more noise might inspire the players.

PolskRed Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Think this - regular supporters moving around the ground - might have had a lot to with it. A number of regular faces near us in the Atyeo not there today. I am not sure who but I think this was stated by somebody else on the thread regarding ticket sales? Also double Sh*t away support which never helps. Still, a good ground out win and I am happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar BS3 Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 No away support and a poor first half. Second half wasn't so bad but a lot of people not sat with their usual groups clearly didn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, those days under Russell Osman were exceptional (Liverpool aside) Ashton Gate isn't too bad for atmosphere at all usually. Compared to most other places. Rovers have terracing and the Mem is shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gl1 Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 The group of 5 or 6 young (well compared to me) guys who sit in front of me in s21 were missing, presumed moved to west stand. Hats off them to them, they are always trying to start songs which most of s21 (and I presume the rest of the sound stand) pick up on. missed them today, hope they are back next game.

Topper 123 Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 The amount of people who keep jabbering on about lack of atmosphere boils my piss because if you all got together it would be louder than the kop, now take your hands out from underneath your bums wave em about a little , shout - yes shout it's not a library it's still classed as a working mans game - just ,and let a bit of passion take over , your wife's not looking you might even enjoy yourselves!

It kinda sealed the deal that I would if possible like my season ticket in the top tier, first row - amazing views of the game. But yeah, economically and atmosphere wise, probably not a good idea until we start rocking 22,000 + a game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Rascal Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Not sure about others, but I felt a 'sadness' after paying our respects to GG. Not a great match and probably only a storming display could have lifted the feeling for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game was screaming out for a man to grab it by the balls and kick some testosterone into it...I'm all for playing good flowing, tactical football...but Jeeze....today needed one man that could have changed everything... GERRY GOW...and for me to say such, means it was a truly dire game. Just pleased we won....the only saving grace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelts Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Fair play the Atyeo had a go and the usual "cmon u Reds" from the rest of Ashton Gate. Was a bit like a library . Game not great . Good gate ., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slartibartfast Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Tweets from some of our players beg to differ. I can't believe they would say it was a great atmos just to blow smoke up our collective assholes, perhaps it sounds a lot better pitchside?

Know for a fact some of the first team players love the atmosphere at AG and especially appreciate the Atyeo. That's all that matters as far as I concerned.

Amen, rarely are these threads started by those in the Atyeo. Fair play to the OP if he sings throughout the match like those in the Atyeo try and do but many people who complain about the atmosphere are part of the problem so get out your seat dont start a thread on OTIB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
