HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 The cool kids spend the first 30 minutes checking each other's gear out And it doesn't help when the away team bring virtually no support for them to point at Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.

Guest Arnold Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 (edited) Just looking at Jeffers Wikipedia and his goal scoring record was horrendous. I also thought he was much older when he signed for us Edited December 6, 2016 by Arnold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james o connor Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 People can waffle on about the match being dull etc etc but our atmosphere except for one offs like the play offs or arsenal last year is always dull. An antiquated ground that's half full is the main reason Its poor in 99% of matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what do I know, I've got a dishwasher. Anyway, we're not dull. Thats the second thing I have learned on here recently. Someone corrected my use of "lob-sided" to 'lop-sided". I might not be enjoying one winger and 3 CMs, but it is belatedly improving my education. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AwokenGiant Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Things were all new last year, fans were up-beat week-in-week out. Fact is we have become acclimatised to good football after many years of shibosh, thus the novelty of our good passing game has somewhat worn off. I watched the Leeds v Villa game the other night and it reminded me of Hillsboro last year, they are buzzing to see a rise in fortunes on the pitch.

Geedee Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 To have a great atmosphere at Hillsborough several things have to be present 1) a minimum crowd of 30k 2) a decent vocal away following 3) exciting rather than percentage football 4) an important game There are exceptions eg the Wycombe game did not have any substantial away support but it did not need it, we were effectively playing Sheffield United that day not Wycombe. Mid season second division football is never going to achieve the above. If we are still involved in March there will be several good days. We need premiership football.

Miffed Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Whether you like the band or not, have a listen at the next home game and try to be subjective. Listen how many times they play over people. There were quite a few times on Saturday especially when people started singing 'Barmy Army'. Bear in mind sometimes when people start a song like that, there may only be 4 or 5 of them to begin with and they have to keep being patient and persistent for a few minute's waiting for others to join in. People did join in and it got louder as it spread across the Kop which sounded great as it almost got to a crescendo of noise and then.....bang bang bang! Completely out of time and then silence. Its like a battle sometimes and when it happens 5 or 6 times during a game you end up wondering what the point is in even trying. You can't compete with a bunch of blokes with drums and trumpets, so they dictate the atmosphere (of lack thereof) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume because people kept getting it wrong! Like how the word 'literally' has come to mean 'not literally'. Anyway, the day 'like a damp squid' becomes acceptable instead of 'like a damp squib' is the day when I officially give up hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beholder Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Do people really believe complaining about lack of atmosphere will make the atmosphere come back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only way is S6 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 It was quiet between the first goal & the FF sending off because we stopped attacking, at pace, when Preston were there for the taking. Again! It became boring & it was freezing. Like a morgue, ironically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabba Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 For me it's about expectation. Last season the crowd in general felt we were over-achieving, particularly as the season wore on. Hence the jubilation. Now everyone expects us to be at the same level or higher than last year, so the crowd are sat there, waiting for us to be good rather than revelling in the moment. Add to that the fact that Sheffielders are mostly pretty negative in their expectations and there goes the atmosphere. Maybe people need to start putting some planning together for non-cringey crowd activities during the game. Sorry for stating the obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonesy87shef Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Band killed it for me. Need more original songs too. Just made this up in 5 minutes to the Little Man Tate song, man I hate your band. Would fit perfectly with all the moaning we do. Don't talk to me about money, Don't talk to me about pain, I'm a Sheffield Wednesday fan, it's always been the same. Don't get me started on the prices, or those pin striped flipping shirts At least we've got some grass now, instead on playing in the dirt. New players signed pre season, can't even get at game, We're starting Atdhe Nuhui, I'm really glad I came. At least there's one thing that we all understand, oh there's one thing that you gotta understand. Man I hate our band Man I hate our band Man I hate our band Man I hate our band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
