"We support our local team" 4. "We know who (what?) we are..." Also let's be honest, "Leicester boys are we" is pretty awful as well. Hardly anyone ever joins in, and the tune sounds like a dirge. Yeah, lets just sing "everywhere we go" really fast for 15 seconds and stop. Jeez

It was pretty much the only chant I heard on tv on Tuesday night so that's bollocks.

You go to germany where these so called great atmospheres are, and music gets blasted out through a proper pa system, not a shitty tannoy, which all builds to the anticipation and gets the crowd going. Sorry but that's just how it is. Perhaps there is a limited role for the club here and there but the best thing they could do, IMO, is to give maximum freedom to supporters. Kobenhavn didn't have music or direction from the club - what they had was few restrictions on their behaviour: standing was allowed in one big area, banners didn't require permits, beer could be drunk, their fireworks before their game against Porto didn't lead to dozens of arrests. Of course, people need to take advantage of these opportunities but I think they would because a culture of freedom would flourish. English grounds used to be superb. What has happened is the energies of these fanbases have been sapped by the micro-managing policies of stadium administrators.

The energies of the fan-bases have been sapped by the culture we're living in today. Football is an expensive middle class sport and the yob culture of the 70's and 80's, and lets face it this is the period that everyone wants back at football matches as far as atmosphere is concerned, is long gone.

Wymsey Posted 26 November 2016 Posted 26 November 2016 Will be interesting to see if the atmosphere is better without the clappers being involved.

I think that does play a role, but then Copenhagen is a wealthy city and so are several other places whose clubs don't do badly.
purpleronnie Posted 26 November 2016 Posted 26 November 2016 It's a whole mixture of things. Fans abroad have sections for the most vocal, no problems with standing. Often you can drink in the stands. Cheaper tickets etc. etc. etc... There's also the difference in mentality, for a lot of fans outside England football is more than just 2 hours on a Saturday (or whenever), fan groups meet during the week, they meet before games and go to games on mass not like here where it remains a mainly individual way of support. Elsewhere the mentality is to support the team no matter what and the atmosphere overrides the result or the performance. Here the atmosphere is almost always dictated by what's happening on the pitch. It is quite strange that so many fans here look to other clubs around the world with envy at the atmospheres they generate, but a lot of players/managers like the British atmosphere because the fans are so focused on the game.
Wymsey Posted 26 November 2016 Posted 26 November 2016 Never heard any of the clappers being used as well.

Well made point. It must be easier to get chants started if a bunch of people go in a large group as everyone there joins in immediately.
TrentFox Posted 26 November 2016 Posted 26 November 2016 It's probably been said, but how about winning some games? That should do it.

Back to the whole argument about the performance dictates the atmosphere, even when losing, but it's getting to be a toxic atmosphere, with these continued appalling performances.
Dan Posted 26 November 2016 Posted 26 November 2016 Crap again. We've become everything we were against last year.
Basingstoke Fox Posted 26 November 2016 Posted 26 November 2016 I actually thought the Kop was getting behind them pretty well at times during the second half at 1-1, I say that as someone who is often quite critical of the atmosphere.
Munshi Posted 27 November 2016 Posted 27 November 2016 I was actually hoping the ref would give some dodgy decisions against us today, seems like that's the only time people get up and make some noise. Some of the best atmospheres we've had are when the Ref is getting absolutely bollocked at by the whole ground Seriously though today was shit, feels as if people think we should win every single game and therefore are so expectant which then ruins the atmosphere when we aren't winning which is shit. Boro fans were decent and they had every reason to be. First season back in the Premier League, away to the champions and dominating the game.

But even before a ball was kicked there was no buzz pal. That's the worrying thing now. Even alotbofvtge fans are getting apathetic about this season. There's just no spark. Where's the 10 mins of constant "Dilly ding dilly ding chant" I've not even heard that Jamie Vardys having a party this season and were definitely not smiling when the whole world dmikes with you. People try but it's just not igniting the fire.

The atmosphere is toxic, and there is an expectation of our players to be awful, and not turn up, which they have done nothing to improve. To be fair, even under Pearson, and when we struggled at times last season, if the players gave their all, win, lose or draw, the crowd roared them on. This season, they don't look like giving a solid performance, and 100%, and look clueless tactically, and with very little over 90 minutes to get excited about its killed it. If the players give 100%, and turn these horrible performances around, even a bit, the crowd will make the noise again.
Raj Posted 27 November 2016 Posted 27 November 2016 Can't argue with anything your saying Monsell. But we've seen shite under the likes of Levrin,Sousa,Sven etc...Were not THAT bad. I just think some of our fans NOW think we will hit the night levels of last season week in week out. Sometimes WE have to make the noise first...and I know we can. Maybe our 'Newer' fans are not used to the Champions od England really just being normally pretty shite!!
Ted Maul Posted 27 November 2016 Posted 27 November 2016 I don't think it's the results- it's the lack of effort which is bringing the atmosphere down. I can take us losing as long as we've given it a go, but there's no real fight in the team at the moment, and that's reflected in the stands. We lose most 50/50 balls, don't press, lose more headers than we win, don't track runners and don't seem to have the courage (or been instructed otherwise) to have a go at teams and attack. I'll always get behind the team and sing, but you can see why the lack of fight on the pitch is suffocating the atmosphere.

Yeah I did and I was in SK1 the year we went down to League 1 and there when we was in league 1 too btw, but that still doesn't make this right does it? Do you want to go back the championship? Because I know I don't!
