At least everyone stood in the EE that season, so effectively it was terracing. Maybe sweeping statements should be avoided! Fair point. Standing makes all the difference. Simple.

Super Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Does anyone really care anymore? Sure it won't stop people going to the next game, I go to watch a game of football if the atmosphere is crap then so be it certainly don't lose any sleep over it.

That's a good point BS3 - you're probably spot on with that, pity the Bristol Post didn't make the same differentiation, you should get a media job, unless you already have one of course!

How many would have been in the ground for that prosponed rovers game when it was rearranged after the Christmas game? Shit game in January on a tuseday night we got beat 2/0 but the crowd was huge. We sold more tickets than seats that were on offer that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said sit in the atyeo if you like atmosphere. Don't you think that's a silly comment when tickets arnt available in that section? Tickets are often available in the Atyeo (the opposition frequently don't take up their full allocation); I brought a guest in to the Atyeo with me yesterday. Regarding atmosphere, my guest doesn't attend live football much - he usually watches the premiership on Sky. He has never been to the Gate before and was amazed by the size of the ground and new stands. I made excuses about the atmosphere being subdued and quiet due to the poor first half etc. He said "That was quiet?" - he thought we were loud. Anyway, he enjoyed it so much he wants to come along regularly - so I'm hoping he experiences a lively atmosphere on Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: just checked - you are totally correct, the Bristol Post said 'home fans' - my apologies for getting it incorrect I must admit when I first saw the article I didn't read home fans and assumed they meant we were getting a bigger crowd than the Newcastle game which would have been a surprise. Shame they didn't open more of the ground for the Newcastle game as would have been the biggest overall attendance and home attendance, but that's health and safety for you!

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.

I have to say the lady steward in S21 put us off our stride today. The guy who sits behind me is quite vocal, and we all like him for it, however the lady told him to 'keep it down' (and he wasn't even swearing!) then proceeded to watch us all first half until she was moved to the Dolman for the 2nd half. I didn't like being watched continually and felt it was unnecessary, and it certainly ruined the game for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the whole of the Atyeo started to chant '******', I did stand up and challenge him to chuck them all out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
