Atmosphere

[djg145]

No atmosphere without the supporters in the Grandstand

 

[IJN]

I doubt whether a 32 piece orchestra playing with the Foo Fighters would create an atmosphere today.

The team didn't inspire any excitement really did they?

 

[Cobi Budge]

Conclusive proof that without a drum, the home park atmosphere is non existent. Don't give me the "the players didn't give the fans anything to shout about", it was dead at kick off.

 

[Fergy]

I was forced into sitting in block 9 today and hardly anybody there even attempted to get behind the team vocally. People criticise the Devonport End but without them you would be able to hear a pin drop in HP.

 

[Balham Green]

Atmosphere is generated by the fare provided on the pitch, and there was precious little of that today.

In England yes, but look at other countries where the fans are non-stop regardless of action on the pitch. If only it was like that here, sadly a load of people around me seemed more intent on checking the progress of their accumulator than getting behind the team.

Really? So how many 3rd tier games have you seen abroad?

Criticise the Devonport End for what?!

Dynamo Dresden twice and St Pauli once. YouTube them then maybe you’ll understand my point. They’re both in the second tier now but have had spells in the third.

So they are second tier. And not good examples of the typical 3rd tier experience.hMost 3rd tier games abroad get very small crowds. Even 2nd tier

You really don’t understand what I’m saying do you? I’m saying Dynamo’s atmosphere was superb even in the third tier, therefore some third tier crowds are boisterous and incessant. Also 40k attendance for Kaiserslautern against 1860 Munich in the Bundesliga 3 the other week. Granted Germany is on the whole the exception rather than the rule though.

We moved over from the Grandstand into Block 10 and there was only a handful of people singing and chanting then giving up because it wasn’t getting picked up.

 

[Presto]

An appalling display from Argyle of misplaced passes, hoof ball, no shape, no movement off the ball. Is anyone surprised at the lack of atmosphere? I have had more interesting days watching ants in the garden at least they seem to know what they are doing.

We survived in a game because of Macey in goal yet beyond belief some posters on here thought he was poor - awarding him a 4!!!

On another day Southend would have gone home with a 5 nil win in their pockets. If this is the fair Argyle are going to serve up then someone is welcome to my season ticket.

What was the official attendance yesterday? Looked about 9-10k

No you don't understand. You suggest the atmosphere is much better abroad when it isn't generally. Ok there may be 1 or 2 exceptions as you have mentioned (tier 2 usually anyway) but that is not the norm.

Just under 10k

Looked more to be honest. Not very many empty seats

 

[samjones]

Was the Devonport end closed off yesterday as well ? It was a lot quieter than usual and it normally sounds like a library.

Ahhhh but the kids are still on school holidays of course
