Finally a good atmosphere at the AMEX

[withdean board snacter]

Finally on Friday night a team with a decent away following will come down to AMEX and hopefully a good atmosphere will fill the stadium from both teams, i cant help, due to the quietness of barnsley and Cardiff fans, that a decent atmosphere hasnt fully kicked off with our new attendances hopefully friday it will, what are your thoughts ?

You say you can't help "due to the quietness of barnsley and Cardiff fans". Do you have some kind of phobia?

Potentially it will be better than those games but the Cardiff one wasn't helped by the fact it was a tense affair whilst Barnsley was all too easy. Neither games were conducive to a great atmosphere. The Sheffield following may help but a lot depends on the nature of the game. The Leeds match atmosphere last year was helped by virtue of the flowing attacking football and most importantly GOALS!

Or we need two players to get sent off, to create a banging atmosphere.

Or the West Stand to finally make some noise.

To be fair, I think a couple of others have already nailed the reasons why it hasn't been particularly noisy (yet) this season. I've no doubt that Friday night will see the noise levels increase somewhat: especially if some blood & thunder antics on the pitch are forthcoming.

Its been a lot quiter since the price of beer went up.

More than one song, might help.

I thought the Barnsley game had a brilliant atmosphere, so did many people here

 

[Worthingite]

The Barnsley game seemed ok to me!! Cardiff, admittedly was a bit quiet, but then it was a Tuesday night game so not many youngsters

Not sure how you categorise "atmosphere". I thought Barnsley was pretty okay but I don't rely on opposing fans outsinging the home support to feel that I've had value-for-money noise-wise. As others have said, it is events on the pitch that will generate atmosphere

very true, but often singing back to shut up away fans does spice the game up abit,along with on the pitch events, maybe if macca, replicates hes goal from the other week from outside the box things may get abit wild

We need the north stand to FINALLY step up this season! All I've heard so far in the last 2 games is the West!

Come on North stand, give us a bloody song!!

I've always thought the atmosphere at the Amex excellent, compared to most other similar grounds I've been to. Don't know what people expect really - Barnsley were hardly going to bring thousands were they?

 

[ferring seagull]

Hard to say because it is a Friday night so actual turnout, given children and visiting fan numbers.

Until we know the final number of away fan tickets sold we will not know whether or not there will be substantial 'unsold' areas we just won't know. That is what will truly create an atmosphere.

Hopefully it will turn out to be a bit special.

 

[Tooting Gull]

I am looking forward to seeing what the new away area looks like full, because it's been pretty pitiful so far. Not sure if that will be Friday, but should be better at least.

 

[catfish]

Nowt wrong with atmosphere at Barnsley game.

 

[Gazwag]

Aren't these threads getting a little tedious now

Portsmouth last season was good.
