I can honestly say that the type of atmosphere there is absolutely brutal, and if that was my local club I’d be absolutely gutted. 90% of the people around me just stood recording everything on their phones. When the goals went in it was barely as if anything had happened, basically no celebration. Then at 2-0 up and coasting all you could hear were people complaining about not hammering them. They were actually fuming at winning a game comfortably 2-0. I’ve said it before, but supporting a smaller club, where it’s actually passionate, local people attending rather than day trippers is far better than that plastic shite. The feeling these people get from winning the league is what smaller club fans get from scoring a goal. Thank Christ I don’t support a “big team”. That's what happens when you sell your soul for an extra dime. English top flight football is nigh on passionless in the stand, City, United, Arsenal, Chelsea stadiums all seem fucking dire to visit. Anfield has one rendition of a forced song at the start and that's it for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away you go the grounds are packed every week and aye it’s hardly bouncing 90 minutes every week but what grounds at any level in the Britain are? Just the ones up here are 3/4 empty.

No hint of irony though in having a dig at empty grounds up here when you (and me) are the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are infiltrating away sections through sponsors as well but the majority are still real fans with season tickets etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sign of those posts then. No wonder. Still, as you can't find something that doesn't exist, I'm amazed you just didn't do your usual and make some up.
