Rich Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 No bother. We’ve got such a cushy gig standing up every game at the back of the Gallowgate around lads that generally sing and support, but I’d burst a blood vessel having to sit lower, in the middle of the Leazes, the Paddocks, or, God forbid, the East Stand.

I couldn’t be arsed. I’m getting to the point now where I can’t be arsed. There’s a handful of seats I’ve been in where I know the people are generally sound. If I can get those seats I will. And I’m not talking about those sound people being soopafans creating the greatest atmosphere evah, they’re just not wankers who piss and moan all game or people who sit in complete silence. There’s loads of seats I’d never sit in again because the neighbours are absolutely fucking unbearable. I’d rather not go than have to listen to the cunts again.

Sima Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Was mad watching loads of cunts on the move as soon as Buendia scored. Any excuse to fuck off and tuck into chicken and chips and watch it on the TV. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh the ticket prices are definitely the number one reason why I've stopped going, but I must admit if the atmosphere was better, like it was just after the takeover, and the following season, I'd probably bite the bullet and begrudgingly pay it. If I'd paid upwards of £58 to sit in a morgue today and watch that I would have been pissed off no doubt about it. Just money wasted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was keeping an eye out for tickets this week there was a few £72-93 seats in East Stand and Milburn popped up and I didn’t buy them. I’m fortunate to be in a financial position where I can afford the cost, but I also know when to walk away if something represents poor value for money.

Pata Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 (edited) Was close to the back in the middle of the Gallowgate. Could stand all game which was nice. No real negativity at any point but the second half was definitely a lot worse than the first. Was surprised by the boos at FT, HT boos were clearly directed at the ref who was pretty abysmal.

TheBrownBottle Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 (edited) The problem football has is the ticket pricing - always found it interesting seeing mangers and players grumble about the atmosphere, as if the huge salaries they command has no correlation with it. If you’re paying more for a single match ticket to a run-of-the-mill PL match than I’m paying to take me and Mrs BB Turandot at the Sydney Opera House next week, then you’re absolutely within your rights to expect top-rank entertainment. Football doesn’t always provide that, of course, but the game sets itself up for the grumbles, moans and boos this way. I don’t remember hearing that stuff be anything like as bad when I was a kid - it also didn’t cost anything like as much in relative terms to go to SJP.

Big River Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 the atmosphere wasn't great, but we've had much worse this season. always astounds me if I ever need to nip down for a piss the amount of gorms standing on the concourse watching it on the tele Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandrotastico Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Was terrible today - flat inside the stadium and worse in it. Offered no support for the team - tbh, they should just play the music they pump in pre match, which really does not help build an atmosphere imo.

You’ll either get a wall of silence, or some cunt gobbing off all game, usually about how shite all our players are. Today it was non-stop high volume negativity from kick off until Villa scored their 2nd and the cunt walked out. It didn’t go unnoticed that he was able to muster plenty of positivity in the vigorous pre-match handshakes & greetings though. Sat in the home end at Old Trafford, when we played them a few years ago. Couldn't believe how relaxed the atmosphere was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minhosa Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 There’s four women (early 40’s) sit in the row behind us. Every game, they’re in after kick off, late back from HT etc. They broke their own record today. Sauntered back into their seats in the 81st minute having been gone from before HT. Said it was too cold and they’d preferred to sit watching it from the bar. FFS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where, tbf, half of the rows in front seem to only come for the fucking bar too. Tonnes of them in late, leave early, pissing every two seconds. One for the pet hates thread but wish there was a pissing section in the stadium where they could all annoy each other. Bloke today left for his first piss after 7 minutes and proceeded to do so a further four times during the game Edited January 25 by Minhosa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordiesteve710 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Fans leaving en masse becasue we've gone 2 down with a few minutes to go is really bad like. Must fuck the players off. Some of the tantrums I heard in the Gallowgate towards the end were ridiculous. I know the performances haven't been great, but at home we largely have a go and the only away teams to win here all season are the top 4 in the league and Barcelona. The home fans have nothing to whinge about imo. As for the atmosphere it wasn't as bad as the "support" at wolves last week, but Sunday 2pm matches seem hard for the crowd to get up for for some reason. Even Villa weren't particularly loud until the second goal went in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbydazzla Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 (edited) Not sure when or why it started, but the booing if we’re kicking towards Gallowgate 1st half is fucking daft. It achieves fuck all other than making us look like clampits. It actually gives the away side a tiny but audible moral victory before the game has even kicked off because we’re booing at the exact moment we should be raising the roof. Does any other club boo if they’re not kicking toward a certain end of their ground for the 1st half ? Edited January 26 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard Liverpool fans boo a fair few times when they've been turned around and had to kick towards the Kop 1st half. Don't think I've heard it anywhere else.

TBG Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 (edited) Just a thought, when we do attack the Gallowgate second half, is Elanga struggling because we're running downhill? You know yourself when running downhill you pick up extra speed, so imagine how Elanga must feel. Edited January 26 by TBG Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it was a bit of a joke at first cos Bruno kept losing the toss but aye its stupid now Villa fans must have been loud as fuck yesterday. Heard plenty from them from my seat at the back of the corner. Very rarely hear anything from the away end there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
