Gallowgate centre also great. I think when commenting on atmosphere it be good to always mention the part of the ground to judge the problem areas. Also when criticising ask yourself did you stand up to try and get any chants going or actually were you just sitting quietly and criticising making no positive contribution to it yourself ?

Expand Fair comment, but it also takes a large amount of balls / pints to stand up and sing if you find yourself sitting in a quiet area wishing the atmosphere was better. More likely to get told to sidoon an shurrup than get people joining in.

If you don’t try at least once or twice don’t bitch and moan (not aimed at you) others aren’t doing so on your behalf. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCOCOL Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 On 13/08/2023 at 11:12, Wandy said: I thought the atmosphere was pretty much on par from last season. Long periods of eerie, uncomfortable silence interspersed by some truly spine-tingling moments of noise & singing. At least the new ticketing arrangements didn't make it worse though, so that's reassuring. I really don't think we have bad support. We roar the team on, never get on a player's back & gee them up when we concede a goal. What we have definitely lost though is the ability to keep an atmosphere bubbling along when a game goes flat. In years gone by there would be songs & chants that lift the crowd but now SJP just goes incredibly quiet until something happens to cause a stir. We definitely need more areas, spread around the stadium, converted into safe standing and made into designated singing sections. Expand don’t disagree with anything you’ve said but I think we’re in a different world. Those who experienced 80s and early 90s support (I’m too young for earlier) will know it will never come back but tbf the game whilst sanitised is safer - no one would have taken kids to the mackem play off game in 1990- so every cloud..
