Anything to whip up the atmosphere for the second half of the season. 2nd half today was good, Watford at home was good. Sunderland at home was alright, the League games v Cardiff and Swansea were decent no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearson himself said for years teams like coming here because it’s all a bit nice. No home end and giving the away the end behind the goal to visitors has been a problem for years and pretty much the only time LJ said anything right/pointed at hierarchy. It’s going to be small margins now and we need as a club to remember that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Standing fans more likely to sing arguably. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDOXO Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 Just now, Mr Popodopolous said: Proximity of livelier home fans to away fans definitely helps. Saw quite a few standing in Upper E34/Dolman A. Standing fans more likely to sing arguably. I think that’s true. However home fans behind the goal is a tradition that we unilaterally did away with. The idea that we are crap at home for long periods is in my opinion partially due to this. Im an old man now. But the upside is I can remember times in the 60s and 70s that it was intimidating to come here and the crowd would attempt to metaphorically try and suck the ball toward the goal and get right under the goal keepers skin at dead balls. Those days are long gone. We are a way to welcoming across the club and have been for 40 years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open End Numb Legs Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 If we went back to the letter boards for half time scores we could do a match day Wordle at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As others have said, no disrespect to fellow Reds who have died, and their families/friends but . . . . . . let's also spare a thought for the thousands who have "died" from boredom watching some really shite football, at Ashton Gate and away, over the years.
