UpInTheAyr Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 See McCall mentioned the `subdued` atmosphere today in the post-match interview. Need a drum like St Mirren have to get things going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Why can't us as fans create a new kind of group that gives somerset a good atmosphere , a vibe to enjoy instead of a stale atmosphere. I don't see why we could not do it? We don't really need a group to create an atmosphere. I think the main reason for us being subdued was because we hadn't scored in the first 5 minutes. We knew that Forfar would be tough to break down and the team from two years ago would've struggled in this game. I like the idea of having a drum though.

Not sure the age demographics of our support lends itself to make a whole lot of atmosphere, plus, today the crowd were more spread out from the SRE to the North Terrace, usually when the SRE is more tightly packed you hear a bit more noise.

diegomarahenry Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Greame Miller needs to sort out a fan zone, a bar tent in the car park from 12-2:30, 5-7, get folk pished next to the club shop, better atmosphere and drunk sales cause increased profits on merchandise. Ayr Home crowd 70% sober, travelling Ayr crowd 70% not sober Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUFC 1910 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Atmosphere at away games is superb. Home games it can be like a morgue. If you want to sing, get right behind the goals at the Somerset Road End. If everyone who wants to sing gathers there it's a start. I'm making up some banners etc for each game. I'm no spring chicken now but was involved in starting the Ragazzi as I wanted some noise and colour especially at home. I have a job, a home, a wife and 3 kids. So when I go to the football I want an escape, an atmosphere, I cherish each game and want it to be more of an event. Anyway, that's how I feel. I get that it's not for everyone, but it is for me. Lets do it, let's make it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayrmad Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Usually I'd say the team need to get the fans in the mood to create an atmosphere but I think this side deserve the same backing as the 1987-88 team got, even if we were off it or trailing, we made a lot of noise and it did gain us points. You could quite clearly hear snippets of abuse after 10 or 15 minutes, give them a fucking chance, they're not the same as the teams we've fielded in recent seasons,they can score freely even when they're not near top gear.

Iain Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Every team gets more vociferous support from their travelling fans than their home fans, I'd imagine, but atmosphere is about more than songs. When the crowd is engaged in the game and kicking every ball, like against Kilmarnock, it's a better place to be and you can feel it. I'd imagine as the season goes on and the stakes get higher and clearer it'll make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayrfan1910 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Could also do an away tent as well when we host a half decent away support example Raith. If we do get promoted it would be a gold mine with the likes of morton, Falkirk , St.Mirren , Queen of the south and Livingston (If they don't move out of the Championship ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftk Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Who owns that wasteland on Somerset Road that sells the slabs etc? Surely that bit of land could be bought by the club and put to good use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
