The player's have the ability to affect the atmosphere. Last night they couldn't be arsed so neither could the crowd.

The Judge, for the record, was in the centre of the north last season - but moved somewhere else after something happened.
As for the atmosphere, if the action on the pitch isn't that great, then your in for a quiet match.

The roof has nothing to do with it, the away support at the Amex doesn't have a problem with being heard there. Likewise our away support normally out sings the home sides.
Exactly this. The away fans last night were superb. Clapped us when we finally started our first loud song on 30 mins. Shite

Maybe because it's a weekday dosent help and less beer had been consumed, but it isn't all the great in the north atm, except after tha 5 minutes agasint Bolton.

Did you actually watch the game or stare at your mobile the whole time.....
Without going into how we played, at no stage in the game were we outplayed.
I was sat in the North and I must say there seemed to be fair few people around me more interested in checking the Chelsea score on their mobiles.
Footballers are at the end of the day entertainers, and not until the second half did I feel entertained and then in turn sang as I felt they did not deserve my effort if they were not making any.

This does get tedious. As others have said, the players and the crowd feed off each other. When things get exciting on the pitch, the crowd gets stirred and more will sing than just the passionate minority.
In an ideal world, the whole stadium would sing their lungs out for 95 minutes, regardless of how the team is playing or any other additional factors. In the real world, that doesn't happen. Anywhere. Not even in the first season at the Amex. Or the golden years at the Goldstone.
Away support will always sing more consistently and effectively because they're bunched together, have a much higher proportion of keen singers and up for the occasion because it's an away day.
We do our bit in the north behind the goal and to the left, and start more songs than many. Sometimes the atmosphere takes off and the place rocks. Often it doesn't. Last night was one of those. Live with it.

Well that shows how much you know about football then doesn't it. We were outplayed. Fact.

You could read every mobile screen? Wow I wish I had eyesight like yours. I looked at Twitter a couple of times on my phone to see if others had thought the same about Kazenga's diver for example.
As for Chelsea, I still don't know what their score was, as it doesn't interest me in the slightest.

We don't want any of that European shit! I'd rather sit in silence then moan about said silence than try new things.
Nsk and Judge have turned the nw corner into a great place if only we could get them in the middle.
Also found a lot of strange goings on. A big singing lot to my left rarely join in with me and the people around us but will then start the same song on mass a minute later.

I sit in N1H and I'm always wanting to sing but most of the people around me, don't get singing until someone starts it up.
Anyone else in N1H wanting to get a bit of noise going? I try to a lot but it's hard to get everyone going.
I love it though when everyone sings. Such a good feeling.

I sit at the back of the north and thought it was a poor atmosphere last night.
Two things spring to mind about the lack of atmosphere.
Firstly we need to stop singing that "Have you seen the muppet show" song. Nobody likes it & nobody sings it.
Secondly, we don't seem to be a united bunch. It seems like if one group start a song others dont join in because of who started it and vice versa.
That's the impression I get anyway.

It shouldn't matter who starts the songs as you say. We should all try and do it at the same time. Also everyone should be happy and pull together and get it rocking.

Utter utter b0llocks. We had virtually all the posession in the first half and in the 2nd half both teams were total shite. I was a close gaem, hence the 1-1 scoreline.
