SyntaxtheRed Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Often the EE crew on here i feel are overly harsh on the atmosphere of the other stands. I sit at the Back of the Atyeo behind the goal and there is a fairly vocal group of fans situated around me and i think at times we've made some good noise this season. Against Palace we were very vocal and can't remember more than 5 mins goiung by without a song or chant, in other games this season we know we've been audible as we've received waves from the home dugout, surely our songs have an impact on the overal atmosphere. there are always small groups of fans in The Dolman too that are audible and the Dolman and the Atyeo combine well with 'come on you reds'. From where i sit the atmosphere in the East End looks great and i love the way it adds to the atmosphere but sometimes i feel that the EE feel they're the only ones that contribute and i feel thats unfairly harsh on the Dolman and Atyeo. The Williams however is very quiet. Thoughts? (i raised this point briefly in another thread but got no reply) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bringbacktherobin Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 SyntaxtheRed, i have always said that i don't mind how anyone else watches football aslong as everyone is allowed to do it in a way they want too.If people like you and other want to sit in the atyeo and get a few songs going than thats good but if other people want sit down and watch the game without making a noise i don't have a problem with that either.There are things that are getting to season ticket holders in the east end and they feel that they are being hard done by, when fans like yourself don't have any restrictions or problems.

Guest WellyCiderHead Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Ive been in the EE every game this year and i don't know if its the way the stand is designed but we cannot hear anything reallyfrom the other stands.Apart from the COME ON U REDS when we have a corner cant hear a peep. I think the low roof and that don't help but it does seem quiet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave L Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 The EE have been very vocal this year particularly in the last few games, and their support has really helped add to the general atmosphere. But i do agree that because the noise is so amplified when you are in the EE, they must sometime think they are the only people making a noise.From my vantage point on the halfway line in the Williams stand I have been impressed by the noise levels coming from all corners of the ground on occasions. The EE is certainly the most continuously vocal, and often starts the rest of the ground going. Doman Block B can be quite loud and when that spreads to the rest of the stand it's pretty impressive. Even the Williams has it's moments and has started a few chants this season.But there is no doubt that the loudest stand of all is the Atyeo. Often the EE crew on here i feel are overly harsh on the atmosphere of the other stands.

Riaz Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 'without the EE noone would sing at all'You've hit the nail on the head. Of course some people would sing, but it was pretty pathetic, in terms of atmosphere - embarrassing actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep singing and you will hear nothing which is how it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SyntaxtheRed Posted February 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 at bringbacktherobin - it would be great to have a stand organisation. the stand would be better if those that really wanted to go for it could sit all together, not sure i'm the one to do it but - who knows ----I'm not ttrying tp start a my stands better than yours argument just wanted to point out that other stands also make some good noise that shouldn't be dismissed.

bringbacktherobin Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 SyntaxtheRed, H Block is unreserved.Many clubs in europe have different "sets" of fans who each do there own thing, the club are lucky that they could have two on their hands.One in the atyeo and the very young forza east end.Would be great to see banners/flags at the back of the atyeo.

cider head Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 in a ideal world i'd like every noisy BCFC fan in one place to make the gate rock and look like the liverpool kopbut i can deam.motivation is the word needed here, if we can motivate each other to create a rocking ashton gate thenthen it's a good thing for all stands, those in the atyeo should mirror what is being done in the EE,get the flags, scarves and drums, make a noise to, and if they are then keep it up.

Mr Mosquito Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 We want an atmosphere all round the stadium and encorage others to do it.Cider I up LandlordThose who started the campaign to get the East End open got slagged and abused for it. But it has been a resounding success at improving the atmosphere of Ashton Gate. The East End does not have to replicated, you do not have to mimic others but educate those around you of what can be possible and acceptable in your stand of choice. If any other fans want to piss on your chips and think vocal support is an inconvenience to them point out the players want it and the manager wants it. All it requires to make a difference is your effort. Well done to all our fellow Redz for breathing new life into the East End. In the halcyon days of the East End in the mid to late 1970's the East End terrace was THE place in Bristol to be seen and heard. I remember happily walking home with the East End noise still ringing in my ears and happily singing all the East End songs we'd all sung that matchday. I'll never expect the East End to ever be that good again, with all the crappy seats on it, but it's great hearing our East Enders ringing a roar around the Gate once more.

Squeak Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 there were times last season it was badwe can't let them happen againmaybe its time for you to start an atyeo ultras groupi'd like thatYeah that sounds good. A little bit of competition between the stands can only be good for atmosphere.Personally I feel at times that the EE (yes that includes me) are a bit harsh on other stands. The point of it though is to try and make other stands 'raise their game'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest churchill gaffer Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 I am a great believer in unrestricted seating!The atmosphere is always affected when you stop friends sitting by each other!Why cant we have unrestricted season tickets in the home end?This would also make people turn up early instead of turning up late and causing arguments about who is sitting where.This could be done in the home end only, and the singers could sit together.If people want their own seats, then they could use the other stands.

NORTHAVON_RED Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 But there is no doubt that the loudest stand of all is the Atyeo.been sat in the dolman most of the season,now recently in the east end.i can't agree with the above statement,the east end is by far the loudest,i have never once heard the atyeo outsing the east end all season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may say that. I couldn't possibly comment Of course the Atyeo is louder - it's got ten times as many people in it. But the EE wins hands down when it comes to continuous noise and originality.I like the idea of healthy competiton between the stands, but I really don't want to go down the 'my stand is better than yours' road. When all is said and done, we are all City fans and we've got six games left to unite as one and sing the boys into the Premiership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bh_red Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 The east end is loud in generally yes, however to be honest sitting in the atyeo majority of the time and the dolman once this season, I don't think the Atyeo this season has been any louder or quieter than any previous season.as for the other comment on the east end, I agree about the vocals in there, the problem is you can't hear a thing from anywhere else in the ground, whether there is much noise or not, which is also a VERY common view from away fans over the years.
