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'd have sung my heart out today but was sat watching it on Sky, be thousands more like me I guess. I hope fans do remember this in future when getting up the queue and buying up for every tom dick and harry in their phone book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igorlegend11 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Burton Ram totally correct. Our support was woeful. I never once heard Lampard at the wheel song clearly ( an attempt behind goal in first half was nt even half hearted ) I can only conclude lots of fans got tickets who don't normally go. I also know lots of fans who don't go bar one or two games who went. The way we sold tickets ensured non attending fans could get tickets. Club can sell however they want. But every action has a consequence and today the support was abject in comparison to Villas support Shame but true Leeds away fans supported all game long even when begind on the night and in the face of loudest home atmosphere I've ever experienced around a whole ground. Today was as expected Only thing is it's unfair to expect fans who rarely go to games to have lasison to sing and offer vocal support. Villa fans in middle tier section mostly stood in the TV side of ground. We nearyl all say.....and when some fans remained standing after our equaliser they were asked to sit down repeatedly by our daytripper fans.

He's correctly observed our support was very poor today We had a comparison to make .....and villa were twice as loud as our fans throughout the game.

Igorwasking Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Who cares! I watch for the football - not for the songs - otherwise I would watch the voice (which I don’t)! I understand atmosphere helps crowds and teams - but seriously - I will not be convinced a louder Rams contingent would have seen Roos’ actually punch that fecking ball!

There were pockets of us I think mate. The problem was that we were met with looks that suggested we were laughing at a funeral. 13 minutes ago, Nuwtfly said: 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... I think the least you can expect in our biggest game in five years is that we back the team even if we go behind. We’ve shown time and time again this season that this team has the heart to fight back, but their ability to do this is hampered when the fans are creating a funeral atmosphere.

Van der MoodHoover Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 The chap next to me left on 60 mins to get some food. He hadn't stood up once. And we were right at the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes absolutely, the goals were gifted by our defence and this seemed to drain the enthusiasm from the supporters. Also agree on the team sheet. Didn't look like a team to take the game to Villa.

wingfieldram Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 We were totally outsung by the villa fans. We couldn't seem to get a song going. Pathetic!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramshankered Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 More appalling than the lack of atmosphere was the number of Villa fans in the Derby end. My entire row was Villla fans! How the duck can you get a song going when you’ve got 10 stoney faced Villa bois camped in the Derby end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not lying, he's right! Most certainly weren't quiet in 223, in fact, with villa fans behind the barriers behind us cheering their goals, fights nearly broke out, drinks thrown, couple of fans clambering over chairs to get to the villa fans, stood outside their boxes. Derby fan behind me didn't shut up all match, think he had come to a football match by mistake, wanted the boxing, endless shouts of hit him when villa had the ball and a Derby player chasing. But yes, definitely not a quiet /boring one where I was sat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van der MoodHoover Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 There was a decent bounce at one point. But what was that villa song they kept breaking into? Sounded like the whole end was singing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not the reason we lost of course but it was pretty poor during the game getting moaned at for standing up and in the whole block I was in only a handful of fans getting behind the team. I was shocked after the atmosphere all morning. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaaLocks Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Know what I do when I go to the football? I watch the match. You lot are obviously cleverer than me coz I ain't got the brain cells to be able to sing my lungs out and analyze the game - so I leave the singing to others. You can moan all you like about me and others who preferred to do this, I'll be there next season, still actually taking in the match and not singing - whether you like it or not.

It's about fans to create an atmosphere. Football historically created a good atmosphere. Less sonin modern grounds. To not create a loud atmosphere in a massive game at Wembley is more than odd Its a massive disappointment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not down about the game but what a poor effort from our fans. Mmm, I was in 212 and me and the missus tried to support and encourage. So not everyone thank you very much. No idea what was going behind and to the right of us, some fighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irobinson Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Me and my son were in 523 - I was the only one who really got up - I always shout a lot and pretty vocal. My son calms me down sometime some lads came in at half time - and they got up singin and tried to get everything going / they were great shout our to ginger lad in tweed jacket - immense guy but I’m not sitting with clappers in upper tiers again. Some of them I don’t think were footie fans. Embarrassing - have to sort this out loads of fans missed out - who we need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club need those cinema goers next season, irrespective of the atmosphere. Every £ will be a prisoner. Thats just the way football is nowadays.
