GTFABM Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 Like i said it might be where i was sat (e33 dolman). The atmosphere was very good today just didn’t seem like it was being orchestrated by the singing section. Might be because everyone around was in better voice than normal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. They aren't Welsh though. Half of them have English parents. Most Cardiff I know have English accents. Swansea are Welsh, Cardiff ain't. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swansea always sing the national anthem, but Cardiff seem to be less so now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sometimes don’t hear the singing section that much from my ST seat in E33. I don’t think it’s because they are not loud it’s because we’re too close to away fans noise. What made the extra noise today was the front of the Dolman, which always gets more bouncing when playing against close rivals. Too me the singing section should always be closer to the away end. All I hear is, is this a library from the away fans, which I think is mainly they are soo far from the singing section. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Diolch! Me too.

Never sat anywhere else though to compare. Always read how good and loud they were but i never really agree. Can see why the club want them where they are because they at times don’t cover themselves in glory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fjmcity Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 Fair play to those who kept it going under the dolman at half time, all in good spirit and gee’d me up for sure.

Aaron-Bcfc Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 4 hours ago, Phileas Fogg said: 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. Which is why palace sound like the loudest team in Europe every time they play on Sky, because Sky have a very odd obsession with them and shove all the microphones bang in front of the 100 blokes that sing generic awful songs for 90 mins. In reality 99% of the people in that selhurst home crowd don’t open their mouths for the entirety and the atmosphere doesn’t actually exist. Was good today but part of the reason is due to Sky keeping all microphones away from the s82 corner due to swearing in the past. I can’t really comment on other stands as it’s hard to gauge sometimes, but it was definitely lively in the corner today. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WolfOfWestStreet Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 The "Dolman Bounce Around" didn't get booed today because almost all of them did bounce. Dolman A block especially from my position in S82 looked very naughty, first time I've wanted to be in the Dolman! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love being in A block when big games roll around, Cardiff is just carnage every time. Personal highlight today was a group of young lads (no older than 14) just casually swigging cans of gold they’d snuck in whilst giving it some on the railings. The only thing missing from A block today was a certain red hatted gentleman who was always right in the mix during Severnside fixtures! 7 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 Enjoyed it again, especially the 2nd half. Think it's been decent in all 3 home games so far in differing ways. Today especially the kick-off time, derby game or no derby game was least conducive of probably any slot to a strong atmosphere. 3pm Saturday, 5.30pm Saturday, Friday night and then 12.30pm Saturday all better opportunities to make a good atmosphere, not least as drinking pre 12.30 game Saturday feels more natural than a 12pm Sunday.

Mr Popodopolous Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 E34 upper is A Block, E33 upper is B Block. Always when I first started going, late 1990s seem to recall these two having some life, albeit not as much as pre all-seater. Sounded good today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt they shout that word when they are at home, so why do it at a football match? To me, it illustrates a lack of maturity I don't think showing maturity is what they are going for TBH. They are trying for cheap laughs and one way of doing it is being a bit immature. If you don't like it just don't sing that bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never heard that, but, Wow; haven’t things changed? When I was younger, and it looked as if an injured player might require a stretcher, we used to chant ‘Bring on a dustbin!’.

Many years ago, I read an article where one famous player - something in the back of my mind tells me it may even have been Bobby Charlton - suggested that, just before matches in near freezing weather, the players would all be given a glass of brandy!
