How can anyone suggest that the east stand minus E1-3 yesterday was as loud as last season? Add to that posters on here sat in the south stand saying east stand was louder than the north. My conclusion is that the atmosphere, despite a dogged rousing performance by the team was poorer THAN WHAT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN before the move. Don't forget we have had the 2 Wembley shot in the arms, who can forget the atmosphere in the first half v Arsenal so I think the atmosphere was always going to be better this season with or without the move. I honestly believe that if the move had not occurred it would have been louder and my dad agrees.
Not that this board's any yardstick, but I'm not even out of step with the majority on here, who seem to claim there bit was noisy and others need to join in. I watched it again on TV, followed straight away by the Liverpool game highlights. The Liverpool game noise pissed all over yesterdays. The danger of thinking this is right, is we go even further backwards.
The liverpool game was unique. Winning against a big side with the added off the pitch problems. Yesterday was vastly improved from recent seasons and I was in N4 where it was quiet at points but the large majority of the time it was noisy. One of a minority in claims it was quiet as lets face it the atmosphere in recent years has been ****
Supporters decide what the club's song is - not the shower of **** that are in current ownership. Don't play it over any tannoy.
The only way we will have a better atmosphere is if more people sing for longer I take it the block nearest the away fans in the North stand aren't season ticket holders ? Apart from them the North stand did mostly contribute I'm expecting the Lokeren fans to be up there in terms of away fans making noise at the KC
Couldn't make the game yesterday but managed to escape from Galtres Festival into Helmsley to catch the game in a pub, and the atmosphere sounded great, especially the "East Stand/North Stand" chant. Both parts of the chant were loud and having it coming at the away fans between them is great. A big improvement on previous years.
This is my last post to you, as I've decided you're a ****, but I've never said that I wasn't interested, I've made it perfectly clear that I thought moving home fans into the North was a good idea.
Correct, another colossal **** up by the club, our most vocal fans are now 'trapped' behind a block of muted day trippers.
If I'm a **** for not blowing smoke up your arse, I can live with that. You said in PM to me you didn't reply at the meeting it was raised at because you weren't interested. Your iddy biddy ego aside, the move has happened, it's far from perfect even according to those that think it's a good idea. The mistakes were made because of poor fan liaison, something else you confirmed via PM along with additional comments. As it is, your agenda and ego could well compound the problem. Fans and the club both want the same thing, but it needs clear communication lines, not a bundle of individuals or people seemingly representing different groups as the fancy takes them. We also need someone that doesn't poke their bottom lip out at constructive comments and observations.
I've certainly had disagreements with Olm on here but i respect his position and the things he's done. So i'll say thats a reet load of old bollocks.
DMD can you please stop touting your opinion as the opinion of everyone, you clearly don't agree with the move and that is affecting your opinion on other things. You felt yesterday was a quiet atmosphere, fine thats your opinion, i would hope thought you could distinguish between your opinion and fact. On the subject of the atmosphere as a complete neutral i would think i can offer a fairly reasoned opinion. I sit in the west stand, i am not bothered about the change from east to north, it doesn't affect me and it never will as i don't plan to move. Firstly i thought from an aesthetics point of view, seeing the City fans behind the goal was brilliant, hopefully they will be allowed to stand up as they where in the east stand. Personally i think we should be shooting that way in the second half as imagine shooting towards the North Stand when we are 1-0 down trying to score, i think the atmosphere will be exceptional. I thought the sound yesterday was as good as, if not better than anything last year. From the west stand it sounded as good as i have heard for a number of years. The north stand was as loud as anything last year, some of the east stand definitely got involved and it made a cracking atmosphere. We where dead a number of times last year, so first game of the season i felt it was a great start. I think as people in the North stand get used to been there hopefully it will get louder to. Based on one game i would say the move has been a success so far, yet that's the first game and i think it will only get better. However this is my opinion and not fact. Please try and disprove my opinion DMD i can't wait.
This is like your mum and dad arguing. I'm off to hide under the duvet till they've made up. Or killed each other. Whichever one happens first. Do we have to pick a side/team? Like when celebrity couples break up. #teamdmd #teamolm
I can't stop doing something I haven't started. It's my considered opinion I post, I've not claimed anything else. I've no intention of proving or disproving your opinion, but you have at least supported the main crux of my position, in that the atmosphere can, and should be improved, and open dialogue, rather petulance or denial's one of the best ways to achieve it. Trying to claim the move is a success is negative and will be detrimental in the long term. We need to learn lessons from the mistakes that have clearly been made.
It shouldn't be about sides. We all want the same thing, and we're all pretty much in agreement over the key issues and where we are. The atmosphere should be improved. Mistakes were made with the stand move. We need grown up, open dialogue with the club. The rest is mainly noise.
