TBF the North Stand at the Goldstone was much louder than the Amex.
Yes are you right though, the Goldstone was never a bastion of noise unless we were doing well.

It must be a posh southern thing although you don't see a good atmosphere at any championship grounds these days...Many grounds are far worse than us.
There are very occasional exceptions to the rule, I doubt they'll be any others this season.
But, 300 coming down from Blackpool knowing they are proper proper shithouse, supporting an asset stripped club, being made to applaud Nile Ranger, don't really need to be turned on by us.
If feels like only yesterday I was up there for our 'last ever away game' prior to the selling of Beeney.
I don't remember the Blackpool fans being a***holes then.

Well, quite a selection of reasons and there was me thinking that the atmosphere's poor at home because so many fans would rather bitch on about it on here on thread after thread rather than showing their commitment by using their voices at the Amex to sing and shout.
Actually they're not reasons, they're excuses; the atmosphere is nearly always great away from home because the majority want to sing and let the team know we're supporting them.

No exceptions pal...All this lovey dovey stuff is pointless as we've played them numerous times of late and they're not in the shite,they're in the championship regardless of off the field issues.
They don't have any assets bar their stadium and they don't have debts

Your argument may, or may not, have carried some weight until that point. We don't.
We do, certainly by comparison to the norm.
It always has a feel of 'oh that's what we're supposed to do'.
Not to mention the fact we can then hit them with the truly pathetic and cringe worthy 'nice to know you're here', after they've shouted the place down for the previous 20 minutes.
Come to think of it, how many of our 'songs' are a direct response to the opposition fans?
It would go some why to explain why we don't make any noise when they aren't there.

All the games at the amex this season have gone the same way.
Our fans only get on the referees back , when he makes one mistake and then appeal for absolutely anything
Secondly, the slow clap!!!! Now and then its useful but every game it makes me cringe. Along with some people counting seconds when the keeper had a goal kick. Ffs learn the rules! !!!!
Finally, I think the Amex is becoming more and more about advertisements!! And selling! All the kiosks are newly branded with meal deals etc. Outisde the ground they have the merchandise stands. Its just all getting a bit too much about selling

As opposed to what exactly?
Would you prefer if the club made it as difficult as humanly possible to spend money, on the 24 revenue generating days a year it gets.

Yes. I don't want to club to maximise its income; the fairies can provide the money it needs to keep funding all the players that we demand the club sign.

No , but it just seems to be too much. Adverts on big screens and the electronic boards around the ground. I know its an income generator but just a little bit more subtle might help.
What next an advert on the big screen when there's a break in play. Its becoming a bit too americanised

I wouldn't wipe my arse with that , if that's what it's coming to these days you might as well fill the ground with crash test dummies

The atmosphere is rubbish as there are only very rubbish songs to sing. None that get sung are any cop at all. Very poor.
