4froale Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 tbh the club need to look at the whole matchday experience. Forest away is an example of how well it can be done, they had an announcer and music that pumped up the fans ready for kick off, similar to at Huddersfield. I do hope that when the new stand is built we review the matchday music and announcements etc as we are really lacking and still living in the past.

NewBlue Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 What's better is that he wants a singing section. At last there is some sort of support for a group of fans standing and making lots of noise with or without drum. It shouldn't be the case that a drum is needed to create an atmosphere but unfortunately it is but I partly blame that on a :censored:e matchday experience provided by the club and :censored:e football on the pitch. Anyway, it could be worse, we could play novelty music after a goal is scored like Wigan do....now that would be unbearable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudemedic Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 If he wants to create an atmosphere that badly, there are better things to do. 1.) Play well or play against a big club. The atmosphere against Everton was one of the best I can remember at BP. 2.) Get the owner to put a bar for the Chaddy to access. Alcohol usually helps improve the atmosphere. 3.) If you need to stand to make yourself heard then looking the other way at people standing might help too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats only any good if the fans are up for it though. We only just recently stopped our announcer screaming down the mic 'COME ON LATICS, MAKE SOME NOIZE FOR YOUR BOYZZZ!!!' as the players trotted out after HT on drizzly tuesdays. Used to make me cringe so badly that I used to hide inside my coat and pretend I couldnt hear it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24hoursfromtulsehill Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Not sure where I stand on the drummer (face, back, ankles?). I don't like how you have to sing what the drummer plays, which is usually mundane, but something needs to be done about the atmosphere. Booze is definitely a factor in good atmospheres.

Or an elderly gentleman teaching everyone in the crowd the second verse to Andy Ritchie's magic. When he isn't supporting the nearest team to where he lives, or some team in Ireland or Spain.

beag_teeets Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 So long as they do not bring back MOULDY OLD DOUGH. That really made me cringe.Said it all You're dead to me now. Nothing says "You're at Latics" to me more than hearing that being played. Football is about traditions and in the quarter of a century that I have been attending Latics home games that song has been played, when football loses its traditions it disappears up its own arsehole.

TheBigDog Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 So long as they do not bring back MOULDY OLD DOUGH. That really made me cringe.Said it all 'We are the Boys in Blue' or 'Oh When the Blues' - decent enough chants - no need for a drummer imho. Also - final line in the article - definitely a no to David Worrall - too expensive by far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross2509 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 That pleases me! Get some atmosphere back! One of the main reasons people don't come on a home game is because of our awful atmosphere. Get a drummer in, a singing section and some proper pump - up music and lets pump up the boys. Some of the moany bastards of fans that we have will disagree though and will want to just have a sit down and then are moaning about results not being good on the pitch!

Tommy_Fent Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 going off the atmosphere at Orient I think having a decent boozer next to the ground or even better a bar in the ground would be a good start. Get the fans in and around the ground early to allow for a decent atmosphere to build up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit of shelter, somewhere to rest your chaser, plus an ashtray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross2509 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Completely agree. Would love somewhere to go for a couple of pints before the game, and would love something to be near the ground to do that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 It shouldn't be the case that a drum is needed to create an atmosphere but unfortunately it is but I partly blame that on a :censored:e matchday experience provided by the club and :censored:e football on the pitch. Believe me, it's not the team that's the problem - or the results - it's the vast majority of fans and their lack of participation, their apathy.The league/health and safety rules don't help, but there are ways around it. Many have tried to spice it up over the years, Markoasis, few lads couple of seasons ago, Guy, but ultimately all failed because nobody can be arsed. There has to be a need for the fans to support, if you want to have that atmosphere you have to want to do it. It's got :censored: all to do with the lads on the pitch, or the 'match day experience' the club itself offers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How close to the ground is the Clayton Green? Presumably you are a Chaddy ender, otherwise you wouldn't be complaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
