yeah, it was the one we lost 4-1

it started playing after kick off or half time i think and went for about 2 mins. i think they wanted the fans to start clapping and stomping to it.

haha yes i remember this, and i swear the attendance was like 27,000 no?

yeah but you go once not 20+ times
You go to each new film.... Because you are a fan. The same as fans of bands will go to watch their band, even if it's the same songs.

It's the same as fans who only go to games based on opposition.

I thought footy fans supported their team through thick and thin, If as many people put as much effort into supporting the team (not owners) rather than being angry at sisu we might get a good atmosphere?

Maybe you could start us all off with some James Bond themes
Nah I'm going to wasps instead, doing it to prove a point to sisu they shouldn't move people's clubs about!!!

You can sit at home and read match reviews before deciding to go or not to support your team.

Listen here Mr 007, I have a season ticket I don't miss. OK

If you were a James bond fan you would go and watch it no matter what? Especially if you were acting like your world ended when they talked about not making any more?

But if they replaced James Bond with Ken Dodd and the villains were the Chuckle Brothers you might reconsider.

During Euro 96 they were reinvented and were made of some sort of synthetic rubber material that adhered to health and safety regulations..............waste of time.

I used my wooden 1960's one on the hill once !!
Got worried about the little kids in front of me as I relived the 60's.

Great memories. Before the Colchester game that saw us promoted to Div 2 in the 60s a friend of my Dads said that if we went up as champions he would give me his rattle. He was true to his word. Still got it.

It must be noted, that despite our atmosphere been criticised on here, it's probably better than most league one grounds..

What ground realistically have we been to this year with any atmosphere.
There wasn't a song sung all game at Bristol City, Doncaster and so on.

Not much they can do this year, but next they really need to consider ticket prices. I would do a Norwich, free or very cheap ST to say U16 or those in full time education, yes it will take a few years but get people hooked and they will come back again.

We need to get more people in the ground, not middle aged gits like me but younger kids that want to sing, allocate blocks 14/15/16 to them, reopen the top bit by scoreboard, warn the people, then trust them (Ties in with another thread earlier treat people as adults and 99% will act like them), anybody causing trouble out and named and shamed, should in most cases be self policing.

Yup, can't understand why students don't get v. cheap tickets in lower divisions where you can't fill the ground easily, makes sense in long run.

Don't close off whole stands but close off the highest tiers and compact the support around the pitch. It's what 1860 Munich did at the far too big Allianz when I went and it kept a good atmosphere going around the ground.

Funny, I found the atmosphere at Walsall a bit underwhelming for a local game (perhaps it was being right at the end - sound didn't really carry from one side to the other). Felt at times like people were there mostly for a day on the piss, which they probably were given recent form!

No point closing the top half of the stands, you're better off closing the bottom.

Since the drum has been moved to the bottom of block 15 the atmosphere has been poor.
I agree and was going to make this comment.it seems as if Singers corner has been mostly netted off and the young ones moved down the front.cant hear them and the atmosphere has gone.not sure why so much has been netted off .Get them at the back to at least try to create an atmosphere.

Or move to back of block 15, to the side of the scoreboard.

That's because you're all still sitting at the back .

Came across loud and clear to those of us sitting low In block 21.

The simple truth Is as those Chesterfield fans Incorrectly reminded us ," Our Ground's To big for Us ".

The more I think about It the more canny It becomes .

Keeping the team roughly In It's location IE WU but franchising In the fan base ,genious .

Nope, I'm in the very un singing, very civilised and much cheaper block 36. (I mainly sing and swear loudly on my own). Since the change in seating arrangements in block 15 hardly any sound reaches us. Can still see all the jumping up and down, clapping and merriment but NO volume. Was sooooooo much better when the block was filled right to the back. Wish we could add to the effect but it ain't easy over here!!

Ditto, I haven't heard much from them, in fact I moved closer to them in the second half of the Chesterfield game and couldn't hear them from a few rows behind.

The problem is the distance from those in the bottom rows is so far that the noise drifts away like it would at a stadium with no roof.
Time for those near the front to move further back.
