Crazy Diamond Posted 22 December, 2012 Share Posted 22 December, 2012 Agreed, not great. The fan who walked down the steps and shouted to us all 'I can't believe I bought a season ticket to watch this sh*t, f*ck you all' and made w*nker gestures at us, that was interesting support.

I just think the vast majority of the games where Block 43 is open to home fans and the away fans are stuck in the corner the atmosphere suffers.

They're probably the same embarrassing types who used to sing 'your support is f*cking sh*t' to the likes of Carlisle fans who had made a 12 hour trip.

Rebel Posted 23 December, 2012 Share Posted 23 December, 2012 The Sunderland fans didn't make much of a noise until they scored! Then they were loud-but it's easy when your winning! Your mate sounds like he was just trying to p*ss you off - you should just dump him! Also sounds a bit like jealous - have you see Sunderland - it's right down there with Middlesbrough.

As you say, Sunderland and Middlesborough must be two of the ugliest cities in the country. It must have been refreshing for them to be able to breathe relatively unpolluted air for a few hours. As for their fans, credit for travelling such a distance but I'll excuse their quiteness because they probably had to get up quite early to get here and most were probably suffering from coach lag.

jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 23 December, 2012 Share Posted 23 December, 2012 the team did nothing to encourage the fans to raise the volume. the team was so flat which meant the atmosphere followed suit. yes teams can have off days and fans can be the 12th man to drive them on but when the team create **** all and never look like scoring it is likely the fans will stay quiet. to be honest even had sms been loud and rocking today still dont think the team would have raised there game sadly.

the stain Posted 23 December, 2012 Share Posted 23 December, 2012 I'd imagine that met people just don't know what to do. If they sing a song there'll be someone saying "oh what an embarrassing song", if they wear their replica tops, there'll be someone telling them that they've ruined terrace fashion, if they dress up Christmassy they'll be told they're gimps. It's probably safer jus to go and stand there quietly, without moving or looking at anyone else. what was your reply? Im sure dell days would have agreed.

saintchris23 Posted 23 December, 2012 Share Posted 23 December, 2012 I think we're missing a bigger point here. Why is the lack of atmosphere being directed towards The Northam? There are three other sides to the ground and it ****es me off that relatively little noise comes from anywhere other than The Northam. Granted, Kingsland North makes some noise but often they're singing a different song to The Northam and it's like they're trying to out-do The Northam which only makes the atmosphere worse. Itchen North does have a few singers but it's not large enough to create and atmosphere, only adds to it when we're winning or it's a crunch game. I'd love to go to a game where the WHOLE stadium is singing......unfortunately we can't play Pompey and Man United at home every week. But yes, we were shocking in The Northam yesterday.

ant Posted 23 December, 2012 Share Posted 23 December, 2012 the team did nothing to encourage the fans to raise the volume. With that sort of attitude I doubt the comeback against MK Dons would have happened. I really do miss there being a proper atmosphere Tried to get chants going all game and eventually gave up because I was on my own. Utter sh*te, from team and crowd.

Wilko Posted 23 December, 2012 Share Posted 23 December, 2012 The Sunderland fans weren't exactly noisy. Most of them appeared to be sitting down, which is odd for a team with that sort of fanbase.

adrian lord Posted 23 December, 2012 Share Posted 23 December, 2012 Where can large numbers of menfolk gather nowadays to celebrate their tribal allegiances and be hostile to another group, in order to let off steam and burn excess testosterone? This is an instinctive, basic bio-social need of males. Modern society is so emasculated, passive, risk-reduced and feminised that there are fewer and fewer opportunities for discharging collective and individual aggression safely. If that need is not met and sublimated in a relatively civilised theatre, it is certain to be forced out somewhere more damaging to society or individuals. It certainly ain't Premier League Football.

Viking Warrior Posted 23 December, 2012 Share Posted 23 December, 2012 well I was singing my heart out. And until sunderland scored there was hardly a sound from them.
