DarkFruitsRam7 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 No, not the players. The performance on the pitch wasn’t great, but it wasn’t terrible. I can take the loss. What I can’t stomach is how embarrassing our fans were today. I’ve seen more atmosphere in the North Stand for a pre-season friendly. When the boys needed us most in the second half, we let them down. A couple of us in the ‘singing section’ were trying to get things going but we were met with dirty looks and disdain. I was absolutely fuming for the majority of the second half because our ‘fans’ offered the square root of duck all. I don’t care who this pisses off. I don’t care if I lose the respect of those who I hold in high regard on this forum. What I care about is representing my ducking club, and I felt ashamed to do that today. At the very least, we should have given the loanees a proper send off to thank them for their services, but the majority ducked off to beat the tube traffic. I’ve never been as down after a game as I was today. And it’s got absolutely nothing to do with how the team played. Embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Tibbs Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Correct. Embarrassed by block 212, no support whatsoever. Not down about the game but what a poor effort from our fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldstar Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Couldn't agree more. Started off well but was dire for the majority. Abysmal, was a dead atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheltenhamRam Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Wembley just isn’t the best for atmosphere, huge chunks of the game were very quiet from both teams ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a frustrated North Stander. I’d love to be in the South Stand but I have loyalties to those who I’ve been sitting next to for 13 years. But in our biggest game of the season, when we’ve been bigging up the unity around our club in recent months, you expect more than the pathetic load of piss we got today. I’ve seen more life in a ducking graveyard. Wouldn’t want to be in the trenches with many of our lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomBustler1884 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Thought the same. I was so positive about the match in Covent garden and going to the game then I got to the stadium and it just disappeared, all that atmosphere vanished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomBustler1884 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 I dont think anyone is playing a "I'm a better fan" game, just pointing out we were quiet today. He's not lying, he's right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmarklewis Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 You’re right, I was in the singing section and we tried our best but noone else would join in ?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree a lot of our fans peaked to early singing and drinking from 8am and plenty of day trippers who go to a game and not make a sound today but what can you do you can’t make someone sing ?It’s not the reason we lost today though.

Nuwtfly Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Atmosphere outside the ground was amazing. Was surprised by the state of it inside. Think the second half atmosphere was dictated by the scoreline, though (especially the second goal). All well and good to wag your finger at those in the stands, but we're human beings. We react to what we see. People around me were just straight out gutted. Some even were from the moment they saw the teamsheet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colm Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Atmosphere was great where I was in block 122, could barely hear the villa fans at all second half... and we were right next to them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomBustler1884 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 For clarity, not blaming a loss on lack of atmosphere, and nobody is obliged to sing, but it WAS quiet today, and it was a bit disappointing considering how it was outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramchop Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 You shouldn't criticise the fans on a public forum. Some fans read this forum and you'll just knock their confidence. Instead, you should blame the players like Huddlestone, Cole, etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not lying, he's right! He may be right but the tone and timing of his posts leave a bit to be desired "hang your head in shame" "pathetic load of piss" "wouldn't want to be in the trenches with many of our lot" "felt ashamed today". I've always been told to never reply to an email when your emotions are high. Perhaps the same principle should be applied to posting on this forum.

i-Ram Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 My ticket was in the non-singing section. No song sheets or conductor to help me along. I hope I am absolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
