FLAGMAN Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 thanks for all the replies guys, definately carrying on the athletic ultras, the drummer and his group are moving their seats down to the chaddy end, so fingers crossed its going to get better, it will become more organised and planned and will slowly develop, but for a first game i thought we did really well!

Delfer Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 From the main stand it sounded a bit louder than usual; the RRE sounded similar to be honest. Be good if the sound was all in one place - the RRE has better facilities and no stanchions. Surprised at the younger ones choosing the Chaddy but I'm 50 so an old fart I guess.

Fruitygoo Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 has to be done in the RRE - am up that side of the main paddock, and to be honest, i could barely hear it am afraid.....looked like plenty of effort went in though so fair play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh Heck C-Beck Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Well done and keep it up!!! A great first effort and me and my dad really enjoyed being amongst a positive atmosphere. All I would say is keep up with the traditional songs for now, more people joined in, some of the new ones are sung a bit fast for older fans ;) Is the same being organised again on Saturday?

Will work much better in the RRE I suspect, and the added banter with the away fans should help too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuyGermanLatic Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I think I posted this idea about 3 years ago. Glad to see fans are really starting to pump up the atmosphere a bit, bring a bit of continental tune to BP. Have a look at Sankt Pauli's Ultras if you want some more inspiration.

biffo1960 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Does it really matter if there's loads of kids, surely the more people joining in the better. This needs to be in the rre if it is gonna have any affect on the while stadium, if the rre is rocking, its more likely the main stand and chaddy will join in and sing along, as has been said, when the chaddy sings nobody past the half way line can hear it. It doesn't take much organisation to move when needed, when a big game is coming up, simply arrange to go in the "a" again in the chaddy or just move into the smaller rre section. Great effort last night but let's do it where it will have the most impact, the rre. And the more kids the better, let them bring their flags and scarves its the atmosphere that makes it special for the young uns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All well and good trying to create an atmosphere and posting endless videos of "great" German atmospheres from You tube to reinforce your point but if you only do it from your armchair it does no good. To then moan about you having the idea years later after someone has gone the extra mile and actually put the effort in at a game; whilst your location is somewhere in another country makes you look like a sour grapes looser who is moaning about it being your idea first .

rudemedic Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Also can i say congratulations to those who did the singing last night, every time we've played Chesterfield since I heard the song, the I'm a bar steward song got an airing. I didn't need the embarrassment of my team's fans singing a Yorkshire song about a team from Derbyshire to make me look thick. I was more than capable of doing that on my own last night.

FLAGMAN Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 thanks for all the replies, good support so thankyou, but we've tried the whole rre, and if we had it in the rre it would be difficult to organise it back in the chaddy end, so we'll have to keep it in the chaddy end to be able to have all the singers together, cause many down the chaddy end that wont move Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This ^^ The more people involved the more impact it will have even if they're kids and it makes much more sense to use the stand that has the best acoustics. As much i'd love the chaddy to be rocking every game as out 'spiritual home' it just isn't goign to happen. I was in there on Monday night and it was as loud as i've heard it for years at times but still people are saying they couldn't hear it past the halfway line. I'm assumign they aren't just making that up asthey don't gain anything by doing so. Let's move it to the RRE and when we have a bigger team visiting we can move to the small section or the chaddy depending on what the club decides. It really wouldn't be difficult to organise with the facebook group and this messageboard. REE = more noise and more involved, it's the obvious choice imo. I actually think next season we should get teh club to let home fans have the small section of the RRE as a permanant thing instead of the large section. Easy to get an atmosphere going in there.

To me it seems completely ridiculous to stubbornly hang on to the chaddy, a stand that's falling apart and offers nothing in acoustics. After last night when this idea was a success would they not see this as worth the move. After all, the point of this is to create a great atmosphere in the STADIUM, at the moment we're creating a great atmosphere in the chaddy and about a 3rd of the mainstand, beyond that nothign is being heard of it. If nobody can even hear any of it, aren't we completely missing the point of this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruitygoo Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 the whole idea of having ultras is to be the twelth man...colour, movement and noise to help show the players that the team is right behind them Whats the point if for half the game, the only OAFC player who can hear them is cisak? Lots of noise in chaddy = not much noise anywhere else Not much noise in RRE = noise everywhere It should be the other way round, RRE shouldn't be moving to Chaddy, they should be saying "this is what its like in our stand - come join us if you fancy it" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should help convince any chaddy diehards that the future is the RRE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palmer1 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 From the main stand paddock the noise coming from the chaddy or the rochdale rd end is not all that different it may sound louder in the RRE and the acoustics are better if you are in there but the sound does not travel that well. get a bit of noise coming from both and we might see a difference but it all dissapears into the carpark anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimsleftfoot Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Good effort but it would be a really good idea to have someone or some people (decent) at the front leading the singing. Liked the atmosphere on Monday night but RRE is by far the best place to have an Ultra, but having two singing areas worked very well I thought.

Monty Burns Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Talking to the neutrals at my lads training session last night, they said 1. It looked a decent crowd. 2. It sounded a decent crowd. 3. We looked a good but unlucky team. 4. Is it always like that? What did I say? I agreed and said yep its like that every week. Whoops.
