Highlight of the atmosphere today was us finally getting a Rudkin out chant. If our fans really want change it shouldn’t take being 3-0 down to 19th in the league for a hundred or so fans to sing about wanting him out. If he’s going to go it needs to be as much of a tradition to sing about it as us starting the match with Leicester boys are we 

It shouldn’t be reactionary now, it should be sang EVERY game for minutes on end sporadically.

If ever there was a case study for the shite served up on the pitch translating to the atmosphere in the stands, it was today.

 

There was absolutely nothing to bounce about.

 

It even looked hard work for UFS who seemed as dejected and fed up as the rest of us.

It gets SO tedious when people just expect the fans to be singing and chanting when the hideous sh1te on the pitch warrants nothing but vitriol.

Not singling Ward out again, but you could feel the negativity as soon as the team came out. We knew what was going to happen and it didnt take long for the horrendous show to kick in.

 

Give us SOMETHING  to shout for and we will, it doesnt take much, a shot, a full on tackle, a half chance, we had feck all today hence the place was a morgue.

It's terrible, and I paid £40 for a last minute ticket for my 16 year old to come with me.

 

£40 for a 16 year old ffs...the hierarchy  at this club are killing it slowly.

I think we should be far angrier about the ticket prices, feels like it’s slipped under the radar a little bit amongst season ticket holders. It’s a ****ing disgrace.That paired with the garbage they are trying to flog in the club shop shows you what they really think of the fans.

We dont have the fanbase to get angry about things.

If you did you would have some happy clapper Rudkin supporter berating you that your not being forced to buy a ticket.

In a few years the demographic of football stadias will be much different for the detriment of the working class

At least we had Slade to sing along to after the game. Really matched the mood.

Tone deaf as always, 75% of them should leave it be sacked - they’re scum

Slade who are famously from Wolverhampton 

[Harpenden Fox]

Not even any half time ‘entertainment’ any more. Not that it would have lifted the mood today. Feels like the whole club has given up, apart from the e-commerce team imploring me to buy more overpriced tat

It isn't the biggest deal but symptomatic of a poor PR business.

The new tannoy bloke tries far too hard. Cringe.

Them empty seats are getting more noticeable

haha not that there's much to this but the fact they're from Wolverhampton has made me laugh about that.

 

Think I'd have laughed if I heard that. Fortunately I was already on my way home, long gone, by the time the final whistle went.

“… Everybody’s having fun” blared the Stadium speakers seconds after the team got booed off. Ah the irony. Ah the idiots.

Perhaps he's on his probationary period and wants to impress as much as possible..

More and more tickets going on general sale is a major indicator of how shlte we are 

[VERN94]

One thing I really don’t like is the undertone coming from a noticeable number of fans that really don’t seem to be bothered about the result and seem to prefer a cheap laugh from their mates at the expense of the club. 
 

This has been noticeable for a while now, ‘We’ve got the ball/we’ve lost the ball’ while at 0-0 at Arsenal really resonated with me. 

 

Today was obviously completely unacceptable, but the defeatist atmosphere from the support was just as bad imo.

All the half time entertainment has been relocated round the corner at Letsby Avenue

Thats been the case for years with a lot in the support really enjoying chants like that or ones totally different from support for the team.

The last time I remember a good, consistent home atmosphere was Birmingham City last season in the FA Cup, fresh faces, new fans and families all wanting to get behind the team as much as possible.  

 

It’s not just a Leicester problem it seems to be a premier league problem where the majority of home league atmospheres are little to non existent-

We sell out our season tickets every season leaving a very short few tickets for members/general sale every game 

 

That’s the first problem, the availability of actually getting a ticket, 

 

The second one being the cost of going, it’s ridiculous for a premier league game! Someone mentioned earlier £40 for their U16! Sickening. 

In the FA Cup game against QPR with £10/£15 a ticket I think we’ll see a good atmosphere and a good crowd, cheap tickets and I’ll assume/pray it’s gets put on general sale. Get a few of the next generation through the turnstiles

 

Sadly though whilst we’re a Premier League Club/Yoyo club and there’s still the interest there for people to continue their annual tradition of going the football like they have done for many years, sitting in the same seats, same home game superstitions/traditions I can’t see how unless we were go down to the Champ and stay down there for a couple of seasons, things massively improve

 

As I repeat I think it’s a massive problem for a lot of premier league fan bases like us that want to generate an atmosphere, it’s not a problem for the football clubs though, they’ll always be someone wanting to go the game and take your place

Oh give it a rest, we’re nothing more than sound bite for what is happening on the pitch. Look at the state of the shite being served up. 

[CosbehFox]

Oh I forget another Vardy, won more than you chant which was so painfully wide of the mark. Wolves after all three times league champions, cup four times and the forerunners for the European Cup. Some right post PL goons in our support

Trouble is a hundred people singing it for 10 seconds looks like a disgruntled handful of people rather than a good chunk of the fan base, I doubt he could even hear it. Needs to be louder and longer

Next Time you go,  have a look at the average age of the crowd. Was outside sk3 enjoying my free Thai lager( sort of). The average age must be well over 50. Vast majority with faces like smacked arses even before a ball has been kicked. No excitement, no atmosphere and no noise. It was similar to the walk up to a family funeral.

In the ground, old folk being helped up the stairs to their seat. This is the problem we have. The age of our fan base is increasing.and no one is gving up their ticket which allow younger folk the chance to attend.

Also, these folk will be the first to moan about relocation if safe standing is ever put in behind the goal.

Don't mean this to sound ageist as everyone is entitled to attend, however the atmosphere will never be any good with this kind of fan in the kop.
