Huddersfield support is the twelfth man, whole ground singing one song. Knocks our home support into a cocked hat.

Thanks to the Brighton fans for your kind words ref home support and atmosphere ,the whole experience of being a Town supporter has changed in the last few years ,not just by promotion or being top end of championship, the atmosphere and feeling of being one with the club came during a 2-0 home defeat by Middlesboro when we were near bottom of league ,we absolutely battered them and it was David Wagner's first home game in charge ,the crowd could see the belief he had installed in the club in only 2 weeks and bought into it ,ally that to a top chairman who was on terraces with ourselves a few years ago ,hey presto atmosphere.

Fair play hudds . Good club , good fans . Good luck to them .

We can generate good atmosphere but the acoustics at the Amex are proper strange . Have spoke to 2 Liverpool fans who said they couldn't hear the north at all the other day , said noise cane from the left .

The west often has different songs at different ends , combine with the speed we sing and everything rarely catches for long .

Lot of very middle class fans at the Amex quite worried about standing out as well .

We can be very good but not consistently

Indeed, they all sing the same song, at the same time and at the same tempo.

We don't.

ahem....hate to say it but a drum, a cheerleader and clackers (possibly with the words to songs printed on them?) help!!

It's OK for you to have a rest from that now and then though.

Yesterday would have been a good time for a collective rest from singing and drumming.

At the moment every Premier League club has stronger home support than we have.

You win my nomination for most ridiculous post of the season so far.

I've been to all games this season and I would say Arsenal, Man Utd, West Ham have been miles worse than our home support. Bournemouth, Swansea, Watford about the same, Leicester and Huddersfield better and louder.

I don't buy this thing about The Amex acoustics. Huddersfield's ground is four separate stands as is Selhurst and they generate a fantastic atmosphere. Our problem as has been mentioned on here before is two parts of the same stand singing different songs at the same time.
We need a conductor............

I thought it resembled a Hitler Youth rally or maybe X factor. I wonder if the more usual football fans were to the left of us whilst the karaoke teenagers were to the right.


Hitler youth rally? Was that trying to be funny?

Bit odd knowing that town have a german manager and Somme back room staff a small well sam german players.

This...

I agree the atmosphere yesterday was amazing with all 4 sides of the ground singing the same song at the same time was incredible to witness, No doubt the drum and clackers had the required effect of keeping the tempo up even if they were so annoying. Having a decent drummer does help.

Not really. It’s the best way to describe a bunch of people chanting in perfect unison as if to order. If you prefer I could describe it as a zombie rally being marshalled and controlled by an irritating drummer. I like Huddersfield as a place and enjoy watching their team play football but it’s safe to say I’m not keen on what they call atmosphere.

I ****ing hate drums but their support yesterday was immense, led by a well-timed drummer who kept them all going. All their noisiest singers are in one place, together, all wanting to sing. At the Amex, we’re disparate, dotted around in small clumps, so it’s difficult to get the atmosphere going. Whoever decided to stick the Udders’ singing section next to the away fans should take a bow, because away fans can’t compete with that incessant racket. Huddersfield home support shits all over Arsenal, West Ham, Man Utd...

I don’t hate anyone old chap. Just expressing a preference for a more traditional football atmosphere. I enjoyed my day immensely yesterday in the fine town of Huddersfield. I’m afraid there’s no controversy to generate here.

Apart from referring to it as akin to a hitler youth rally. Ah well. Have. A lovely Sunday

Their singers were moved to that stand five or six years ago, so away fans stand no chance against the noise they make. Occasionally, the away fans get something going, which then prompts the home fans to start again.

I can see why the comment about Hitler Youth would raise eyebrows but I do agree completely with the gist of what you're saying if not the way you describe! It is all too orchestrated. If another fan fancies a go at starting a chant he's got no chance at all. One bloke calls all the shots.
