Atmosphere at Exeter

[hairy j]

I posted a picture in a thread recently and I remember the day very clearly - the atmosphere was great that day - probably the best day I've witnessed at Home Park. The reason for this was that we were already promoted, the stadium was sold out, we had players we were very proud of, we won the game and the league, our manager was a hero, we scored goals, the end making most noise (now a family enclosure) was full of supporters who didn't have folders on internet forums where they decide on songs and flags and streamers and the entire club was successful from top to bottom, we didn't have a PASB, a fan as a president, supporters sitting in the director's box, fanfests or Forze Verde back then.

Amen brother! But the world turns and you can never go backwards.

If we were top of the league like we were back then with players like we had back then, we'd have a full ground and an atmosphere like we did back then.

Our last league game vs Exeter had an awful atmosphere as all the 'singers' were spread out. This time can all the singers stand together? In the corner by the Flybe stand?

Why don't you all sing?

And there, in a nutshell, is the flaw in the whole FV 'orchestrated support' thing. Singing and chanting is supposed to be spontaneous, if folk want to sing, they will.

It'll be like walking into church......"will sir be singing today?, would sir care for a hymn book?"

Pathetic, let it be organic. And if the atmosphere does turn out to be sh*t then how's about blaming the many lame defeats and awful entertainment on offer this season rather than the chuffing seating arrangements :doh:

Abso-bleddy-lutely! :clap:

People WILL stand, cheer and sing IF they are being entertained, excited!!

It may just take a few seconds of a player doing something positive or even a decision by the Ref to start the ball rolling.

But mostly it's down to the players, the atmosphere in general reflects the match.

Atmosphere at SJP crap today until we scored

Best atmosphere was in the police escort.

Agree with the above, absolutely brilliant.

From where I was sat, halfway in the Flybe stand, the GA were very quiet today, hardly heard a song

How do you create an atmosphere in probably the worst away area set up in the country? Spread out to a few deep, back way from the pitch, no roof to transmit any noise. It's if it's any consolation we heard nothing from city either apart from when they scored.

 

[Mason2011]

By grouping the vocal fans in a meeting point outside the away end so they are all together maybe.

Exeter are loud when they come to HP

But yeah as said on here the away set up is pretty bad

We've done it before, with bells on

That ground is a total crapshack. And all the empty seats in the home end :facepalm: :facepalm:
Give us two sides of the ground next time Chinos. Torquay used to. We'll fill it no problem.

 

[PASTIE]

agree. it is an impossible ground. couldn't make out a word from the city end either.
