Pretty good considering we didn’t turn up first half. Any thoughts?

[Albion] Atmosphere today

Pretty good. An afternoon of boozing by thousands helped!
Not one NUFC song after the equaliser ... it’s not just Albion fans who get shell shocked.

Like the team: first half bad, second half good.

Lee Dixon, the pundit co commentary on NBC said the bleedin obvious in the first half, the ground is a morgue, it was, don't let the second half blind your views.

Yeah. Why do you think it was a morgue? The fans simply cannot be blamed for that. Start of the game it was buzzing.

There was a better atmosphere in the concourse watching Soccer Saturday and awaiting the impending Cardiff defeat than much of the stadium first half.

Not blaming the fans whatsoever, I'd have been the same.

It was getting quite hostile in the north first half. Thank god we put in a shift second half, reckon it would've got pretty toxic if that first half horror show had continued

The first half was the worst atmosphere I can remember.
You could hear the murmurings of 5,000 conversation rather than any chanting. Reminded me of Stamford bridge until their third.
The second half was different gravy.
Solly changed the mood and dragged the team with him.
I've said it before but when the west Stand get involved it is a hell of a noise.
They started an Albion chant mid way through the second half that was as good as the Sheff Wed playoff.
The players responded to that I have no doubt of that.
Good to see the team remember how to attack.
Significantly better in the 2nd half

Comical
Great at the start, turned to total shit as we had to witness more turgid rubbish before becoming much better again in the second half when we realised we needed to score and were at home.
If we’d shown half of the intent we’d shown in the second half for the rest of this season we wouldn’t be in this mess.

Yes, I agree. Some sloppy passing and widespread cluelessness, yet the crowd managed to remain reasonably positive. The alcohol that a 5.30 Saturday kick-off affords probably helped, and I think the crowd helped the team get a point.
I took my boss and his son to their first ever game.
Back in the car I told them, 'well done you've expressed all the Albion emotions in one game'.
Early excitement.
Total silence.
Second half desperation.
Team and fans lifting each other.
Then most amazingly a celebration.
We have entire games where we don't even have half those emotions

You are a cheerful chappie, the second half atmosphere was great once March came on and the team started to actually string a few more moves together.

Getting a bit sick of fans at each others throat's in the North. Fair enough everybody's got their thoughts on the game, the team and the manager. But said it before, say it again, Your Fellow Fan Is Not Your Enemy.
