Lord Snooty Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Think evening games often have more atmosphere. Though actually. That might just be in my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonofbert2 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 It's very obvious it's different to what's become normal these days and especially the influence of alcohol etc on the crowd. It's so much louder and better in the build up and start and electric when the majority supported team is in front. Any setbacks or long periods of pressure become very sobering though very quickly and the contrast with what went before added to this really amplify the nervousness. The collective "Fuckme what's he doing, it's going in, it's in - yesssssssss!!!!!" noise last night for Reach's goal was very rare and came across very clearly - almost a slow motion goal celebration. The roar for Leeds' goal was also a good one as they started to make the noise as it left his foot. Much better all round when games are like this and because of the rarity these days are probably worth the bit of bother/hassle that goes with them in a way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNChance Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Good away following usually equals a decent atmosphere, without it to be honest it’s a bit flat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danx38 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 (edited) I dread Friday night games. I like to finish work and chill before going to or watching the game online on a Saturday. I hate that feeling of maybe a loss on a Friday night and then having a crap weekend. So although I have a season ticket I thought about giving it a miss. But I got to thinking, it's Leeds what are you even on about! So I went. Got to say the atmosphere was great. Enjoyed the first half but not so much the second. But satisfied with a point even though I admit we were fortunate. Lesson learnt, support your team whatever!!

OWL1969 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 People say United are our only rivals, I disagree they definetly are our biggest rivals but the atmosphere at the Leeds game is different to any other match than the Derby. Definetly our 2nd biggest rivals. Contrary to the myth some (mainly Leeds fans) like to portray Leeds don't like us either, I worked on the away turnstiles, 4 or 5 different songs about their hatred towards to us, just we/I hate them more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apswfcowl Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Let's not kid ourselves, Leeds don't care about us much at all. Atmosphere on Friday was much better than usual but nothing special. Finally I have to say it is embarrassing when our only response to any opposition singing their anthem is to boo. What we need is our own unique anthem that we can respond with and no, not Hi Ho - even the Leeds fans joined in with that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANDY Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Didn't think Leeds were that loud. Stoke bought half as many and made twice the noise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much better would it be if we were getting nearer 30k through the door every week A Newcastle season ticket holder I know was at the game and they said the atmosphere was fantastic They were sat in the south stand too!! They commented it was a shame the Kop end wasn’t full - I told them the prices and they were amazed anyone went at all!! He said “I thought Ashley was a clown...” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusholme Ruffian Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 As a Leeds fan who is not particularly fond of the Owls, I always think that this is the sort of fixture that defines “Old Skool”, the sort of game that got me hooked many years ago. Hillsborough, like Elland Road, may need modernisation but would you swap it for a modern Walt Disney-style identikit bowl? And it pains me to say it but should LUFC ever return to the “Promised Land” of the Premier League, yes, the atmospheres that we could expect away from home would be very much of the Sky manufactured, happy clapper day-tripper variety, not the edgy type experienced on Friday night.

pgmetcalf Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 (edited) Personally I'd settle for the atmosphere being flatter that a witch's tittt if it meant we got 3 points Edited September 30, 2018 by pgmetcalf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
