Guest Lako42 Posted 24 November 2016 Posted 24 November 2016 Last season I couldn't hear the away fans, this season I hear them every single game. I sit at the back of SK1
Livid Posted 24 November 2016 Posted 24 November 2016 "The clappers are a bit different. It seems like the fans have a real good connection with the team. A togetherness, you can feel it. If you're trying to shout to one of your team mates you can't make your voice heard sometimes" Quote by Leon Britton of Swansea in Jonathan Northcroft's "Fearless" You may not like them but opposition players don't either. Be careful what you wish for, do you want to give up our home field advantage and risk returning to SK1 and L1 making all noise whilst the rest of the ground sits on their hands ?
Wymsey Posted 24 November 2016 Posted 24 November 2016 Get out the WYS song out of the speakers just before kick-off. But the song is probably binned as haven't heard it in ages.
mackiepas Posted 24 November 2016 Posted 24 November 2016 need new chants, the 'proud of our city' one is god awful, and brings the atmosphere down.. and 'its crazy but its true' is embarrassingly cringeful..
Soup Posted 24 November 2016 Posted 24 November 2016 Most fans don't care about making an atmosphere, half heartedly clapping a clapper is as far as they'll ever go. The mentality in England is dead let's face it. I only go for myself nowadays, I'm around like minded people so I couldn't care less anymore.

Very much like rugby now, slowly but surely a middle class game, the working class are priced out. This cheap ticket theory is great, but 30 quid for an adult ticket, prices a lot of the working class out.

Raj Posted 24 November 2016 Posted 24 November 2016 Why do you go football? Is it just to watch the game? Then watch and enjoy and use the clapper now and again. Is it to feel involved and help make a difference to your club? Then sing,shout,shake it all about,go home tired and feel like you've made ABIT of a difference.

DennisNedry Posted 24 November 2016 Posted 24 November 2016 British fans in general are ****ing terrible. Never realised how much so until we've been made to look like cvnts by Porto, Copenhagen (especially) and Brugge.

Wymsey Posted 24 November 2016 Posted 24 November 2016 Expand the kop, making it a double-tier stand. Also, safe standing.
ChownLC Posted 24 November 2016 Posted 24 November 2016 People moaning about clappers but our atmosphere would be even quieter without them.

I wonder if anybody had some suggestions to improve it. One thought was that the stadium fills up quite late before kick off. Perhaps if more people came early ( I accept that many can't for a variety of reasons), then the noise would build earlier. Sheffield Wednesday have a band, might that be a way forward? Thoughts? Through work I have been to other grounds belonging to the so called "bigger clubs" and our atmosphere is stratospheric compared to the shite at those grounds yes something can always be better , but give thanks for what we have British Fans in large numbers will never be Like continental fans , far too reserved on the whole and no beer inside the ground doesn't help I thought it was fairly decent for a cold night and dire last 60 mins !

You're right about fans being reserved. What I don't get is the 7 or 8 lads in the pub giving it some, then in the ground absolutely nothing. So strange.

City fans moan its a fact of life we won the league and some moaned the ground was too small , now they moan it will be empty in the championship , they moan about Kingy they moaned Kante didn't score enough ,they moaned an inflatable dinosaur was stolen , they moaned About the season ticket price freezes , they moaned about champions league ticket prices (likely to be out only time in the CL) they moaned about free gifts at away games , they moaned at not getting free gifts , they moaned when we hired Claudio , they moaned when Nigel went , they moaned on Twitter at Vardy's misus because he might leave , then they moaned when he got 100k a week ,they moaned we didn't spend enough (yet broke the transfer record 3 times in 18 months) , they moaned about virtually every player in 14/15 then moaned the same players weren't being appriciated enough when they were winning league in 15/16 ,they moaned about the clappers , then moan about the lack of atmosphere , moaned about the Thailand branding , they moaned about the efforts to respectfully mark the passing of our owners friend and king (king power) , they moaned about the away points system , they moaned about the concourse food , they moaned about the beer , they moaned we hadn't signed Michael keane (WBA 4-0) they moaned about the City and moaned how shit our city is , they moaned that our fans were working class oiks, they moaned the players got flash BMW's for delivering our greatest moment , they moaned about Hey Jude , they moaned the Tiffo was blocking their view , they moaned when Nigel wasn't sacked them moaned when he was , they moan moan moan moan they moan about the moaning !!!!

I teach in a very deprived area where the kids are football mad but they get to go and watch a game live once a year on their birthday if they're lucky. Not right is it? As for improving atmosphere, winning a few games or even just putting in a fully committed performance would be a start.
