Stadium atmosphere

[MS0204]

Serveral piss poor things from today.. roads were blocked off due to the parades so had to walk to deenesgate tram. Hauled on one like a bunch of cattle and said it was going to Old Trafford which in fact the Trafford Centre was going away from it.. asked a bloke in a United top behind me and he was a typical first timer who shrugged and said “we were told this one”.. 

 

got off at the next stop and walked the half a mile walk and let them carry on.. 

 

Wasn’t happy with their over zealous security and not letting a drawstring bag in because it was larger than A5, they made me shove everything in pockets or put the bag in the bag drop which cost £5 so had to bin it. They removed all the bottle tops off my boys fruit shoots and water bottles so we had about 4 bottles each with no lids so had to bin some of those.. absolutely pathetic club. 
 

Then the whole ground was awful. How people pay in excess of £80 a match for that is beyond me. Not exaggerating when their is more atmosphere in the KP.. let’s give a little clap when they score and everyone sits down flat again.. 

I need to chill out because today has wound me up.. next stop sports direct tomorrow to replace my boys pe bag..

Theatre of bellends and tourists.

So they can’t let me in with a drawstring bag but then can let the tourists come out with a bag from the store the size of a small suitcase and let them through..

It's not well-advertised enough but you could have gotten off at Wharfside on the Trafford Centre line, Exchange Quay on the Eccles line or of course Old Trafford on the Altrincham line, all are within walking distance of the ground, that's probably why people were being advised to take any tram going in that direction. The Metties won't want to send every single group of fans to the same Met stop when they can split the foot trafffic between three.

Shit atmosphere  but we had feck all to shout about with mastermind in charge having Ndidi as one of our attacking options!!

Understandable, I usually get on the Altrincham line and get off at old Trafford, it just threw me today as I ain’t familiar with the other lines.. never mind. Done and dusted, look forward to hopefully 3 points the next game.. oh wait 🤔

We’ve got no identity. Our drone fans will only sing anti-opponent songs or flavour of the week (Albania, Straight Back Up etc)

 

If only we’d had some interesting things happen as a club that we could sing about.

Yesterday we belted out "your City is blue" and "Champions of England more recent than you". Good grief. Horrific songs.

 

All we needed was Vardy to be playing and I'm sure someone would have tried "he's won more than you".

[rugbyblue]

Whilst some songs may be a bit cringy, surely some noise is better than none? 

We moan about no songs and then when songs are sung, the songs arent credible enough?  What is it that people want?  

 

Lets be honest, most clubs aren't "by far the greatest team the world has ever seen" but most sing it.  Enzo never went to buy a lamborghini, but that was sung loud and often.  

 

What's credible?  A step back in time?  Your going home in a leicester ambulance?  Your gonna get your fckin heads kicked in? 

 

Noise is noise....

Tbf at the start it wasn’t awful but I was thinking like after 5 minutes all the chants had been used up and it was just repeats. We desperately need new chants to sing for sure

Have to agree there, there is no reason why we can’t sing that mavididi chant but just change the words to “and when we stay in the premier league we’ll sing this song all night”.. Who cares if it mentions Enzo? His player 🤷‍♂️

Or. “And now we’re in the premier league he really does look shite”

All the chants are gone after 5 mins because we sing them so fast. I couldn't believe how fast the Fatawu song ended up being sung. It's as though people just want to get to the end.

[Trev3939]

the other issue is that people do not keep chants going. We sing each chant once and that's it. We are allowed to repeat them...

Really bad.

Not helped I found myself in that area to the left of the main away end where all the club staff and freebies go.

The chaps saying our fans don’t care as much as others were right on todays showing.

Absolute powder puff showing, about 4 songs sung and all half arsed.

This is sadly the reality at least for the current fanbase, and the games which are exceptions to this rule are very few and far between. The mentality of offering vocal support for the team just isn't there for enough people, but these same fans will make the effort for chants which are aimed at the opposition. @RonnieTodger makes a good point about identity, some of the songs are very generic and small-time, with the classics not getting enough of an airing. It's also been said before that 'we've never been a singing fanbase' and there seems to be an element of truth in that. However, it doesn't correlate with the atmospheres of old at Filbert St, which leads on to the point about how our match-going support has changed over time.

We do have a very lower league club mindset. Wonder when we'll start the horrendous Leicester are massive everywhere we go.

[CosbehFox]

On one of my ‘I’ve been there’ and here’s how they do things, landed back from Poland this morning. 
 

Even if I park the cultural differences (70% of the ground standing/masked blokes literally walking around you while they set off enough marine flare to take out a submarine) there were two really massive differences for me. 
 

How vast and wide the demographic difference as of their end (and everything one of them

going for it). No concourse culture. No in the pub until 2.55pm. Songs actually not that varies but often have a bridge of them into another tune. 
 

All trams two hours before and after are free which indirectly helps the whole set up as a whole.

Theres a blatant difference between normal football fan hyperbole in chants and just coming across as thick idiots who think football began in 2016 though.

The worst exchange was Leeds singing their ironic champions of Europe song at our place.

 

The L1 brain trust sang “champions of Europe, you weren’t even born”.
