BP seating arrangements and improved atmosphere

[yarddog73]

i think it pretty obvious with so much left to do, january was being muted but it may well be longer who knows.

[disjointed]

Is it official that the stand won't be ready for the new season?

We should get one of the ballboys on that side tonight, to ask hard hat and vis man when it will be finished. Get him to report back on here and then we can debate whether the ballboy is telling us the truth.

[brierleys555]

I thought the hard hat vis man was corney doing his bit to save money to help get in another 1 month loanee. so he wont spill the beans.

It's comical. Standing away fans peer down upon home fans forced to sit.

 

Treat your fans like :censored: and they don't turn up.

 

and they wonder why there's no atmosphere...

The fact we're :censored: and have been for years?

[ghostofcecere]

I'd love to see a decent away following put in The Chaddy so the doubters can hear that 300 signing away fans in there is quieter than 300 home singers in the RRE. I sat in the main stand for years and I can assure you this is the case.

[IceStationLatic]

Bring it on....

Hence the trial...

I'll be one of those 300 any day.

But the point is that the scenario you mentioned isn't the point - we often bounce off a good away following. It's when we play teams that bring 50 fans and a dog - and frustratingly they are all that the players here and there's no atmosphere from the home lot.

Stick them in the shed and give a few of us the microphone, different story. Nothing dramatic, it won't inevitably produce 6-0 wins but it might help. The players will hear more of us.

LJ started this so it's pretty clear that's the opinion of him and the players.

That seals it for me.

[HarryBosch]

What's been lost or ignored in all of this is that many of us really don't give a flying :censored: how loud we are or aren't.

 

All I'm arsed about is success on the pitch - when we have that, even if it's just for a ten minute spell - the atmosphere is fine.

 

I don't buy this line that louder home fans will mean a better team - I remember several easy 3 or 4 goal wins when we were really good under Shez against the likes of Hereford where the place was like a morgue the whole 90 minutes.

 

If LJ thinks the players need more noise to help them play better that's yet another reason to get some better players to me.

 

What a load of old bollocks.

[IceStationLatic]

Okay. We won a game when it was quiet once. Shock.

So no point in trying to improve things, at all.

To be fair, it's working well at the moment isn't it.

And just because a slightly louder crowd won't guarantee success, yeah I'm not arsed either.

Loving it.

It would've been eerily quiet at the RRE end of the ground & the lookers side, I.e. Half the ground, had the clubs (cost saving) plan not been met with hostility.

 

How does that fit with the better atmosphere argument?

I agree with everything in this post.

[SholverBlue]

Every time a mate has come and there's been a good atmosphere, they've wanted to come again. And whilst the effect on the players is debatable, there's surely a confidence boost. If I was a player, I'd want vocal fans.

The lady who relocated to the back of the RRE today. Please go back to your usual stand next week. That is all.

I'm not all that bothered about how successful we are. A good day out is what I want. Some people might get that from watching nice football....me, I'd prefer us to be playing fast, attacking, exciting and winning football, of course....but the atmosphere probably matters more to me. I find it boring going watching us at the min hence why I'm being a :censored: fan and finding excuses to give it a miss.

None of which means it isn't better when there's a decent atmosphere as there was in the Chaddy today

[Tommy_Fent]

That today was like the Chaddy End I remembered from a decade ago. It might not have carried but it was still a lot more enjoyable being a part of it rather than not being

[brierleys555]

my arms and throat are killing me.

changing my ST to the rocky for sat and there is a good number of fans who are going in rocky just to try and make an atmosphere.

KTF

[brierleys555]

[SavageTheBeast]

Hopeful of seeing fans in the RRE for the next game from the chaddy. Don't count on it though
