Ram a lamb a ding dong Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 SS being South Stand.Not been able to get to all the games this season due to work commitments but i ask the question and mean no disrespect to Tom E and the 1884 team but have things taken off as hoped for? And no silly comments as the 1884 guys deserve at the very least for a serious response Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomBustler1884 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 As put above, probably best for the 1884 thread, but my take in a nutshellFirst 10 mins is great with flags, banners, singing then everything else depends on the quality of football and scoreline.Improvement will only come when every individual takes responsibility for it and we work out a way of trying out new songs.Suggestions welcome.

It's not the guys fault though, can't fault their effort.Just as a fan sat in another part of the stadium - I think this is a bit harsh and the reason I ask is what are you genuinely looking for?I think Brighton two seasons ago and Forest games aside (Although day matches against Forest especially at noon are not great) its almost impossible.Pricing of tickets means the fans that are more likely to shout and scream cannot afford to go regularly. However I also think it means its safer outside the stadium as the fans more likely to cause trouble don't go.Name me one club in England who genuinely do create an awesome atmosphere every game? Certainly every Championship ground I've been to (Roughly 15 of the existing teams) I've not come away from any of them bowled over and would say most if not all are worse than us.So I'd say two things:1) Well done to the continued efforts of the 1884 group - I think you have made a difference and I do see more noise, albeit in spells but it has got better.2) Until ticket prices get better which is close to guaranteeing a full house every game (Twenty is plenty for home and away!), we will never reach this peak. I find it sad that when we give 3000 tickets to away fans and they can only sell 1000, that 2000 empty seats impacts the atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CornwallRam Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 I would say that the South Stand have been a bit quieter this season, but the majority of the football played at the iPro since last March has be pretty rubbish. We (well not 'we' in the West Stand, but 'we' as crowd in general) sing a lot when we're winning and are also pretty noisy when the game is exciting. When we're losing the South Stand joins in with the nervous shuffling - but they just don't have charisma to pull it off as well as we do in the West Stand.

RiddingsRam Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 atmosphere shocking ??? christ what do people expect ? It's English football not European! We don't all sing and bounce all game it's just the nature of our game ! You can't have everything if you want it to be a place you can take your kids and feel safe but still have a good atmosphere then it's just about right ! I'm friends with a lech poznan supporter and he tells me the atmospheres insane every game ! But you couldn't take the mrs and kids ! It's about getting the balance right !

Ramkesian Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 PSG have one guy that co-ordinates the chants and songs via a mic and sound system, he sits in the lower section of the Boulogne end stand and starts the fans off. PSG give permission for the sound equipment to be used.Works very well but re RR's point the Boulogne boys are PSG's ultras so not a family friendly end to sit in.

rammieib Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 If its a choice between a club full of ultra's or a family run club which kids can be safe and go to games - give me the latter every day of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ariotofmyown Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 What was atmosphere like back in the old days at BBG. Not in the mid 70s when we were winning the league, but before and after when we were more at the same level as today?Was it a cauldron of noise with 100s of unique and new witty songs? Or was it still loads of moaners and a home crowd that only really got behind the team when we were winning?I presume the atmosphere was a lot more edgy as it could kick off at any moment, but did that translate to supporting the players on the pitch?

Smyth_18 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 How anybody can say the atmosphere in the south stand is **** if they sit in the west, East, North or at home is beyond me.No matter what you think, it is the best stand in the stadium for atmosphere. Simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheron85 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 I like the quietness in the west stand personally... 1) It means I can tell if something good is happening from my usual position curled up in the foetal position whenever Shotton comes on/the opposition moves towards our defence at any point...2) I like to think it makes it easier for the linesman to hear me yelling obscenities in his/her direction when they're turd...

Day Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Been in there three times now, don't think I'll ever go back in. I never thought the atmosphere in here was great, I thought I'm surrounded by knobs constantly groaning and berating the players. Heard more chanting but each song never lasted long before fading out. The standing is great but not worth going in over the other 3 stands for.Saying that, Curtains is in the West and that worries me slightly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevor1946 Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Supporting Derby County in the late 50s and early 60s was a labour of love ,and a 12000 crowd was a good attendance.We travelled up and down the 2nd and 3rd divisions and the ist division was a distant dream ,no disrespect to the club but we were just journeymen in the lower league s.All noise came mainly from the popside,it could be a dismal place to be.To a rams fan we called it a proper football ground,after all it was our home.Little did we know it was to be our theatre of dreams,and the magic a certain Mr Clough would bring to our lives,and how the gates would swell ,with history being made.On reflection it was a dump,but the atmospherewe created was great..The ipro is a modern stadium of which we can be proud,and to me i think were we came from on the clubs journey.The South Stand puts fans behind both goals ,this is our popside.And when inportant games are played theAtmosphere will be great..History makes a ground ,and our s on Pride Park is on going.The south stand is our s and long may it continue,hopefully safe standing next.
