Funnily enough when Huddersfield used them they were quite effective until our second goal...

Just a few suggestions I have received via PM for ideas to forward to PB for potential matchday themes:
Tudors & Stewarts
Australia Day (in homage to our heroes Mooy and Ryan)
Gay Icons
80's Albion Heroes
Sustainability
Anyone with any other ideas feel free to add on this thread or drop me a PM.

We're in the pipe, 5 by 5
Surely, Vicars and Tarts should be on that list?
I think in the coming weeks we should probably explore the possibility of hazmat suit day

Certainly worth revisiting this as the furore over the lack of atmosphere at one of our most prestigious home games against Liverpool shows no signs of dissipating.
What can we do to enhance the atmosphere? One of the most successful and high quality sides we've ever seen, we should be singing from the rooftops. Certainly think the theme days that marked the early years of the Amex would be welcome back. Themes such as 1920's Circus, Climate Change and P Party would go down well as would some new songs from the club for us to sing.

17th in home league table - atmosphere at home games not great
8th in away league table - atmosphere at away games great.
That's it. Dominate first 20 mins AND score and atmosphere sorted.

Chicken and the egg though isn't it?? Should the crowd wait until they are entertained or should they get behind the boys from the first whistle and might that give us a bit more impetus and momentum?
Miami Seagull
Grandad
. Is the obvious answer. Also gives us fans behind each goal, would be the perfect solution.

Agreed, but you need SOME chicken. At the moment we have egg, generally first half hour atmosphere is decent but it fades as the game fades. The Brentford game had a decent atmosphere throughout, from start to finish.
It does feel the whole pre-match build up has become a bit stale and dare I say a bit embarrassing. Understand the club is making efforts to be inclusive and family friendly but after the I-dont-know-how-many-eth time of watching the same pre-match video, listening to the same songs and cringing at 'fanzone' it all becomes just a bit boring.
I don't know why the club stopped using the bandstand opposite the club to have bands on? Getting some decent music on and getting fans excited before the game would certainly help.

Absolutely this

Not seen such Bravery!
Win a game.
Why would moving a quiet section of fans from their preferred seats to less good seats behind the goal improve the atmosphere?
Bold Seagull
strong and stable with me, or...
One of the crucial main problems I think is pricing.
The club made the North Stand and the South corner the cheapest tickets for adults in the ground with no alternatives. Even the ends of the East and West Lower are more expensive. The North Stand is far from a Kop, so many are in there not for the singing and atmosphere, but that it is a cheaper ticket.
Perhaps could have made some blocks in other stands just as cheap as an incentive to get the quiet ones out. Nothing wrong with being quiet, but you know it's gone a bit wrong in there when you have people half way back telling people to sit down.
