I spent most of the second half last night watching someone in the front row of the east stand vomit repeatedly into a bucket between his legs.

Grim, but couldn’t turn away from it. Resolutely stayed in his seat, people everywhere around him, persistent convulsion spewing. People just left him to it. Pleased to say I was in the south stand.

He must have got the same katsu/madri ‘deal’ I got.

Along with the match, created a truly harrowing atmosphere.

Did you think it wasn't a bug but his opinion on the game?

Home teams usually kick toward its own fans behind the goal second half agreed. Our home supporters have been f’cked around from pillar to post as the club sought a way of improving the noise levels. The East Stand was the place to be when the Stadium first opened and was always the noisiest part but as new Chairmen arrived those who knew better altered this time and time again to what it is now. If I had my way I’d f’ck the away fans off to South/West Corner out of view of the TV Camara’s similar to Bellend Road.




UTT.

Couldn't agree more. Put away fans in the SE corner between S6 and W3.
 
Perhaps one practical idea is to install safe standing. It wouldn't make a huge difference in the north where we all stand anyway, but do it in the north end of the East stand as well and maybe that will stimulate more noise from that section as welp as the north stand.

As the initiator of the thread, thanks for all the replies. I get the argument that if the product was more exciting , the atmosphere would be better, but clearly there are also others like me who think there's more to it than that. I do feel now there's a sort of nervous resignation among some of us (might include myself) that we don't look like scoring and sooner or later we'll concede, and also there are plenty to who I think the result just doesn't matter that much as long as they have an afternoon out. I used to run creative workshops with businesses where a whole range of people would be involved in trying to generate solutions to a problem. I fear there is nobody in our club at the moment who would consider that worthwhile. I also repeat a point I've made before that I really don't know who in the club is thinking about addressing these off the pitch issues. Can't believe it's the Sporting Director's remit. Feels like the sort of thing an Adam Pearson type would have addressed in the past.

Good point about whose remit these issues come under - what happened to the regular meetings between club and supporters' groups? IIRC the Official SC delegates tended to be a waste of space but these are huge issues and are probably best addressed by supporter's groups, or at least fans who have the long term interests of the club in mind.

The location of the away fans is an issue that never goes away. I can understand the logic both ways of where they've been moved in the past, but ultimately they always end up still attacking towards their own end in the second half and celebrating with them as someone else pointed out.

Build a North upper and then stick the big TV screen directly in front of the buggers.

I feel the problem in part must be that the club, team and fans know there is a problem. It inevitably adds pressure which contributes to us not winning at home which then adds to the pressure in a self-fulfilling cycle.

If the pitch gets any worse, which is highly likely (even inevitable), can we apply to play our home games somewhere else, like say York? At least 2 benefits - they would no longer feel like home games, plus they'd have a decent surface to play on.
As the table shows our home form is beyond poor. It's amazing that our crowds have held up, and no wonder the atmosphere is crap.

Well, the West Stand Upper rep said on the Facebook Forum when some asked why we haven’t got safe standing as a lot of clubs have installed it asked the poster didn’t he realise that grounds were all seater and most people wanted to sit down? It was also said, can’t remember if it was him or someone else, when lack of noise in West Stand was mentioned that if people want to make a noise they should go in the North Stand with the riff raff. Another one on there said he was glad that the tickets were expensive at QPR as it would put off the obnoxious (his word) persistent standers who
make a noise and spoil his enjoyment of the game. With reps and fans like these no wonder there is no atmosphere.

Perhaps someone should get him a season pass to Tigers+ and a VPN account. He can then enjoy every game with his pipe and slippers.

The West Stand Upper rep is the dickhead that just removed me from the Hull City Fans Forum on Facebook.
