OliOTIB Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGefuFA6a/ Really interesting, could this be something the club look into as a potential way of getting feedback about the constant moan of bad atmosphere? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Oil Services Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 As far as atmosphere goes, we're always going to be struggling with it, because: - in the Championship and were we to reach the Prem up there too, we will not have the best players and the stronger team, and so we will not dominate teams and attack in the way, for example, Leeds will do, or Liverpool/Arsenal in PL, and pepper the opposition goal (and it is "peppering" the opposition's goal more than anything that leads to atmosphere*) - in L1 and 2 we will have the better players and stronger team and be able to "pepper" the opposition goal but none of us will give a **** because it's only Walsall/Gillingham/Peterborough and peppering their bleedin goal, well, we should be shouldn't we? Yawn. So, as far as "atmosphere" goes, we're buggered. Plus, we're apathetic West Country sorts who just can't be arsed. And we're also somewhat jaded now and have no belief that anything truly exciting is happening here. Certainly not the "peppering" of the Leicester goal on Good Friday. *Unless it's Walsall/Gillingham/Peterborough's goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol isn't really a sport city, even most of the locals who follow football support a 'big' team rather than City sadly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuber Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 Atmosphere at AG has in large been awful since the redevelopment. Think the Atyeo needs to be refurbished into an a slightly larger stand that would allow more of a Home-Away Split, moving S82 into next to the away fans with a proper cordon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrs Court Red Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 Not my bag these days, but between 2001 and 2011 when it was, I can think of at least 4 fan led movements to improve the atmosphere on a matchday. 3 of those were actively sabotaged by the club. The one that did take off worked well (although bizarrely opposed by the then chairman of the supports club) . So I don’t think we necessarily have a fan problem when it comes to atmosphere…the current configuration and utilisation of seats makes getting something going and then growing difficult, if not impossible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would the Safety Advisory Group have an issue? Extra policing and straddling would be? That seems more of a medium term goal, refurbished. As it stands now we need to give 2k minimum to away Championship sides. Atyeo- 3.4k Away- 2k Less Segregation- ? Remainder Home- ? That is a starting point for here and now.
