Good communication from the club. Transparency! (to a point anyway) Whatever next!? Although reading it, is anyone actually clear what’s happening with those Black Cat Bar tickets?

This one even said they’d have preferred a smaller allocation. They’d all be better coming up with some better ideas to improve things as opposed to ‘go back to the way it was’ which is never happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFC91 Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Sunderland buses are what they are...one thing i do know is the 6000 there need to get right behind them for 90 mins... Just in London now and hoping for same tonight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was dead v Man Utd as well. First time I went there was in 1993 for Ronnie Whelans Testimonial. The place was completely silent but I remember thinking I suppose it's just a friendly it must be totally different for a league game. Went back there in 1994 for a league game. Kop was still a terrace at the time. It was the Hillsborough 5 year anniversary and emotions were running high. Remember going down on the old Armstrong Galley bus and being so excited for it. Guess what, it was completely dead again, save for the 3,000 away fans there. Kop sang at the very start and then stood in silence for the rest of the afternoon, apart from a very half arse rendition of YNWA right at the end.

My brain may have added the blanks later, but I’m convinced I heard the crack when Ruddock assaulted Beardsley. The only time I experienced good atmospheres at Anfield were evening games during the week - it was always shite for weekend matches. The 4-3 in 1997 was good (I wasn’t at the first 4-3), the 2-2 in 2002 was electric, even the LC match in 1996. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was also at the 2nd 4-3 game and yes that was pretty good, as you'd expect from a 4-3 game. I was at the LC game when Steve Watson scored and we totally outsung them when we had the full end behind the goal. Same when we played them in the FA Cup a few years later. Probably done another 8 or 9 games at Anfield other than those I've mentioned and always came away totally underwhelmed with the place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, in all of my 39 years following football their atmosphere has always been the most overrated. They were bored of success by the mid-80s, never mind what they are like these days. Having said that, in the last year or so when watching them on TV, I've thought that their singing has improved a bit. Their thread on match atmosphere is very similar to ours, but their daytripper problem seems to be a whole lot worse.... https://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=315738.13960 ...and it's a cautionary tale of what NUFC need to be warned to avoid, when we do make a decision on the future of our stadium.

I was at the 1994 game - very emotional at the end but you're right generally underwhelming. If I am not mistaken this was also the last game the Kop was a terrace - it became all seating following season. I was 13 - but had grown up with Liverpool winning everything and thought they were entitled then.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool stayed at Anfield and have suffered the day trippers as long as I can remember. Staying at or leaving SJP won’t make a difference on that front.

jack j Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 That's Klopp, Guardiola, Gary Neville all been very vocal criticising atmospheres in the last few weeks Shame they don't care enough to talk about the root of the problem Easy for them to spout off shite like they do.

Yep ‘The atmosphere is crap’; yes Jurgen, and the reason for it is that local young’uns are priced out and rich day trippers are priced in - maybe if you all drop your salary expectations, the locals and the atmosphere might return.

Geogaddi Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 I can't think of a single ground in the league where the atmosphere is consistently top class , it's just the way the modern day football fan is now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Was absolutely class, we had 12-14k there and completely drowned out the Kop. Bus windows put out, hell on afterwards in between the terraced houses. Hanson and either Gillespie or Lawrenson (can’t remember who played) were allowed to kick lumps out of our forwards all night.

GeordieT Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 We, as a collective, were abysmal today. No response to conceding. We didn’t harry or make it difficult for their players or officials, and we offered little in the way of encouragement for our own. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
