Mr Popodopolous Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 (edited) Don't think it was so poor, can depend where in the ground you are etc. Down E28 way it was coming across quite loud from the corner.

formerly known as ivan Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 If you went today, or 99% of other home games on a Saturday afternoon, based on the social media videos vs West Ham home/away, you’d have thought you were at the wrong ground… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Clearly not a patch on the West Ham game(s) but think we've had worse this season. Wasn't notably awful IMO just average. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocking Red Cyril Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 With my grandsons in the family upset Lansdown but. The sound never seems to generate to us. Many singing up there at times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WessexPest Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 Hard to tell from TV but sounded pretty decent to me. Again, always going to pale in comparison to a midweek cup tie where we beat a European champion! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew-T Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 We really are not that bad. Watched Sunderland on Friday night… That was bad. Apart from maybe Cov, the home crowds are poor all over. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 I'd have thought Leeds Home atmosphere is quite good? However ours can get some unfair stick at times, but at other times it is merited. At Sunderland there is a general malaise and discontent which can reflect in the atmosphere. They're angry and dismayed for a host of reasons. Frustrating thing is, it's almost despite the clubs best efforts that ours is comparatively not bad at times..e.g. 1) The away fans (I know). 2) The dampening down of E34 instead of Installation of some Rail Sesrting thete. Clearly without Point Two, you have to do Point one. Marginal gains thst can be tried in the here and now 1) A bit less pre- match music ie switch it off sooner. 2) The Liquidator. I dunno I've always associated it with West Brom for one, should we have something more Bristol City themed or neutral? Idk. 3) Reading away side out first..does it help or hinder? Or is it just standard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham76 Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 Agree, was down the gate yesterday and it was really poor atmosphere considering the attendance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 (edited) I actually didn’t think it was too bad yesterday. There’s been a few quiet ones this season but yesterdays was generally ok. Thought it was good when ‘Red Army’ was going round most of the ground a minute before we scored. We lost possession, won it back, and ‘Red Army’ was still going and getting louder, and then we scored. Was impressive to actually have a song going round all 3 sides when we actually scored a goal. If anything, I was more disappointed with the away end! I don’t think I’ve ever seen Watford bring that many to AG before, so they came in good numbers, but they were probably the quietest away crowd all season.

Port Said Red Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 The period after the penalty was poor, the singing stopped just when the players needed picking up as it always seems to. Other than that it wasn't too bad, but then I am on the edge of Section 82 so it always sounds loud when they get going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrs Court Red Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 I didn’t think it was that bad. Watford fans were fairly anonymous considering what I thought was an impressive following. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo88 Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 A good exciting match = a good atmosphere. When it’s flat, as per yesterday, it’s got nothing to do with the ground or whether people are standing or sitting. For most parts of the match yesterday it wasn’t particularly exciting so it’s no surprise the atmosphere was what it was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearded_red Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 Maybe when the team don’t spend every other Saturday afternoon boring people to tears the atmosphere may improve, just a thought. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swede Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 I thought it was above average tbf. Trying to play possession based football will, inevitably, affect some of the atmosphere. Fans are all the same, despite all of the modern day coaching technology, deep down we all want our side to attack from the off. Listening to the Arsenal game on the way in and that was really like a library and we are talking three times the crowd size. So this needs a bit of context & don't be too critical. Perhaps it really IS all about "box entries"! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 I thought the last 20 minutes was exciting stuff and the crowd responded to that well, including the Watford fans when they got on the break a couple of times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red94 Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 The problem with the atmosphere at Ashton gate is the fans are to reactive to what happens on the pitch. If the fans were more proactive with the singing approach and backed the team the whole game no matter what was happening then the atmosphere would always be great. We also need to sing less anti g*s songs and less songs aimed at the away support. It’s hardly supporting city and pushing them on when we aren’t even singing about them. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red ponty Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 I think a lot of teams stadiums and crowds have changed over the years and are much quieter but in the 70s you had people in ends who would lead the singing continually. I see many people in the Lansdown who sit with their arms folded and quiet for 90 minutes unless there’s something on the pitch that sparks them . The audience has changed now maybe just a sign of the times . I myself could never sit in silence watching a game of football . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While we continue to play second halves, sideways and backwards all the time allowing away teams to keep us pinned in our own half at the Atyeo away fans end, leaving the City fans in the rest of the ground with absolutely nothing to get excited about, the atmosphere will be dead!

Sitting in the Lansdown you get the benefit of the away fans and Sec 82 either end we could hear the Watford fans loud and clear and also the Sec 82. We didn’t hear the “get in the mixer” bloke yesterday. He must have missed the game……… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
