Big River Posted December 6 Share Posted December 6 the safe standing was implemented entirely for health & safety purposes, to stop getting fined off the Premier League. absolutely nothing to do with atmosphere or making it a better experience for fans.

Sima Posted Sunday at 05:57 Share Posted Sunday at 05:57 Poor again yesterday, btw. Was in block V at the back and for most of it, there wasn’t much singing going on and only smatterings coming from towards the GEC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was in the GEC, a good atmosphere, the guy behind me was carrying it. I heard nothing from anything outside of the Strawberry corner though.

I can only attend games during the holiday period due to living abroad and did notice the atmosphere yesterday was poor, same time last year the stadium was buzzing.

We were probably near each other, bloke stood next to me had a voice like a foghorn and never stopped singing / starting chants The Strawberry Corner renditions of Gallowgate Giz A Song were met with deafening silence from the Gallowgate Was thinking y’day how much better it is in grounds when the most vocal home fans are near the away fans, as both sides can trade insults, chants & songs From most of our noisy section you can’t even see or hear the away fans, they might as well not be in the ground Edited Sunday at 08:16 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from a few in the galliwgate who sit right near the strawberry corner, the song singing "no noise from the gallowgate" was met with no reaction at all.

bobbydazzla Posted Sunday at 08:26 Share Posted Sunday at 08:26 (edited) Think a few in the Gallowgate might have joined in with Blaydon Races during 2nd half, but it was sung at makina MC speed and only lasted a nanosecond Edited Sunday at 08:27 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

duo Posted Sunday at 09:29 Share Posted Sunday at 09:29 (edited) Was an odd game felt like a training session for the last half an hour Leicester just gave up Edited Sunday at 09:30 by duo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted Sunday at 09:33 Share Posted Sunday at 09:33 (edited) On the whole the atmosphere was embarrassing imo. Saturday 3pm, winning 4-0 after an up and down season and not a peep from like 47k people. It's like folk just want there to be something to moan about (and ironically here I am moaning). I don't actually understand it if I'm honest - if you want to see the football, then you most likely (despite SJP having a lot of great views of the game) will see a better angle on the tele (with replays, etc.). If you're going for the atmosphere, then surely you help make an atmosphere as well as take in the atmosphere? Why else would you be at the game?

RobsonsWonderland Posted Sunday at 09:44 Share Posted Sunday at 09:44 Ironically more people leave early when we are winning 4.0 up then when we are losing games... It might piss me off being at the end of the row but I'm sure some people only watch 60/70 mins of the game. Only pleasing thing is they missed the two goals after half time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
