BobsMagicCalculator Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 (edited) Just watched the great Red Star Belgrade great European cup winning side. The captain of that team said he had played under different managers and circumstances. He stated that sometimes they were great because of the CROWD and that is why they succeeded. But he played and had success when the crowd weren't so helpful, but if the crowd weren't onside it relied on the team spirit to get them through. With that in mind do we do enough as fans at home games? Take Huddersfield and their German BOOM band, that appears to be having the desired effect at home...

heppers Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I could come along with my guitar and do an acoustic version of 'Stuck on you' by Lionel Richie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a two way street when it comes to atmosphere, players can't expect fans to be 'up' all the time from the first whistle every game...if it's a big game with a big build up crowd involvement will be good at the start & probably carry on, if it's a cold Tuesday night against a team we think we should beat & the game doesn't mean that much in the scheme of things then the fans will probably take some getting going & the players will need to do something to get a reaction. I think Wednesday fans at home are reasonably OK & on occasion brilliant, though sometimes it can be like a morgue, it's just human nature, even the hordes of Old Trafford are quiet at times & really, what have they to complain about?, whether or not Rooney's pass completion rate is good enough, or they haven't won a trophy for twelve months ffs.

GIve it 5 seasons of the same sh!te. week in, week out and their BOOM band buggering off to L**ds games and they will be as sick of them as we are of the band that makes no difference at Hillsborough.

So they played well when the atmosphere was good and they played well when the atmosphere wasn't very good!

There hasn't been any better backing than that at Wembley for the play offs and we were shocking! Crowd influence is the biggest myth in football Otherwise how do teams like Brentford ever win away? Why don't England win every tournament? Players and managers use it to get supporters on side or use it as an excuse when they don't win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the reason it's dull at Hillsborough is because of the prices. The prawn sandwich brigade effect. The people that have a voice have been priced out. Also those that have paid £40 want to be entertained if they're not I'm sure they don't feel like singing. Maybe the club could could waste less money paying wages for players that will never get to wear the shirt and reduce the prices. It's worked wonders at the stain.

MysticOwl Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Everyone would love a big atmosphere at Hillsborough. But how do we do it? Someone needs to be organiser. Perhaps write all our songs on a website to read. Taking in new suggestions for songs and vote on them. We might get rid of this crappy song for JR then.

pride_of_the_road Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Use to have a song for most player sin early 90s and they were sung from 30 mins prior to kick off while players were warming up. Theres nothing nowadays! Could at least play the old wednesday songs before kick off, the montage that they played before the Wycombe game.
