weepywall Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 Fantastic atmosphere today, doesn't matter where you are stood/sat, doesn't matter about acoustics, doesn't matter about kick off time, when plenty are on it AG is as good as any, when we scored our 2nd 3 blocks of the Dolman were singing "who are ya" at the Welsh, great support today. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphindevon Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 Yes, how many times have we had early kick offs, earlier than today, and the atmosphere just can’t get going? Today was great from the off which was a pleasant surprise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Engvall’s Splinter Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 Atmosphere was great. As you say, it revolves around numbers and also our team showing effort / commitment. Difficult I appreciate but it ticket prices were consistently lower I’d be confident of better Matchday atmospheres. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 I watched on TV and I must admit the atmosphere didn’t sound great from either set of supporters. I appreciate tv sound can be deceiving though given microphone placement. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 As I have said before I am right on the edge of the standing section and it was good in there today. For a start, it was packed for some reason, hardly a position left. In addition, nearest blocks of both the Dolman and the South Stand were fully involved and included in the atmosphere. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUTOR Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 I’ve enjoyed the severnside games post pandemic. Feels like the intensity has gone up a notch in the rivalry for whatever reason. Was beginning to feel like just another game not long ago. Their offside goal was hilarious from A block. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victory Park Reds Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 Today was good IMO despite the early kick off.I’m up with kids in the Lansdown and even a few coyr up there. Ive been to a lot worse games at 3pm in recent yrs. Perhaps we now can see progress and a game plan coyr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be honest i barely heard the “singing section” all game. Thought it was very quiet down there all game considering they are the ones banging on about atmosphere. Might be where i sit but am never impressed by them. 2 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in the “singing section” and it felt very loud today. Nearly everyone in there appeared to enjoy the game and really get behind the team. Looked like other areas were giving it a go too, notably the Dolman. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is one of the problems of not being there , the tv does not pick up noise well especially in the new Ashton Gate , great atmosphere today There’s a lot of comments on here about crap atmosphere at the Gate but as someone who has been to plenty of grounds in recent times it’s pretty good these days most of the time Lot of people who whinge about it are often not there , but love to put it down 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really really do find that hard to believe. I sit at the top of the lansdown stand in the family section the nearest block to the atyeo stand and heard them loud and clear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sure you were at Ashton Gate today? honestly, it was brilliant today. Luton was quite good too. Sunderland was maybe a bit quiet at times but first game nerves that is down too 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkev Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 Thought the Cardiff fans were very tame & quiet inside and outside the ground . usually a lot of needle when we play them . Seems more needle with Swansea recently 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the Lower Lansdown I don't think I heard them after about 20 minutes. Saw some clips on Youtube of them singing "shit Bristol R*vers" didn't hear that at the ground. I thought the atmosphere was good and really spread around the ground today . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were singing that early in the game. I think they really fancied their chances today and looked well pissed off come the end..!

Yep, Cardiff were loud for first 20 or so, goal went in and nothing from them, including the last 15 when they were chasing the win. Very poor. They are a weird lot. Also, how many actual Welsh flags in that away end today? I counted three. I'm more Welsh than those *******. Confused lot. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChippenhamRed Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 When I think of Cardiff I think of them singing Men of Harlech, but I don’t recall them doing it at all today (might be wrong). I sort of like it in a weird way as a part of the tradition of this fixture. They certainly weren’t at their most vocal today, but I suppose they didn’t have a lot to shout about on the pitch. Also a lot of negativity on their forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
