I know we always say what a great job you lot at the RBA do - but I went to watch Swindon today (free tickets!) and when I got there I saw a number of "Swindon Ultra" flags around the ground and thought "this will be interesting".
Bloody rubbish! Only started singing about twenty minutes in to the second half and that lasted for about thirty seconds. With four minutes to go there was a bit of effort from the Town End (where their main group sit) and I couldn't believe the booing of their own players at the end.
I know we've not done great this season but roll on Monday - can't wait to hear and see some propper footy supporters getting behind their team - even if/when (!) we're losing!
You only realise what great loud supporters the shots are when you go see another team with me it was fulham.Shocking I say, a premiership team and literally guys no joke they didnt sing 1 song WBA song about 3 so bad atmosphere!
Theres nothing wrong with the atmosphere at Charlton, well not at least the times I have been there anyway.
A really good team to see in terms of the atmosphere they create is Celtic. I have seen them away from home and at Celtic Park and the noise is unbelievable!
seein as there is only a few hundred of us that actually sing at footie, the atmosphere is incredible. i mean i have been to a few premiership games and most of them dont sing as loud and with as much passion as the eastbank boys.
not to put a dampner on things but the advantage that we have compared to other sides (league sides) is that we are aloud to stand where as in higher leagues they are made to sit it all makes a difference
Exactly, it's kind of hard to create an atmosphere when the ticket you get could stick you next to any tom dick and harry, if premiership grounds allocated a certain are of the stadium to those fans who wish to try and create some serious atmosphere then it might be a completely different story, but when all the chanting fans are spread out around the stadium it's much harder to capture the atmosphere.
