Stellaboz Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Why do people go on an away game (in general my gripe here), sing in the pub but then get to the ground and don't transfer that boisterous atmosphere to the game unless theres an early goal? Is it a Pars thing? We have loads of people that will go to away games and the pub will be absolutely bouncing, for it to immediately deflate as soon as the game starts. It's like people blow themselves up before the game has even begun. In Germany there's always a hefty atmosphere in the away end despite the scoreline it seems. Why can't we have that here? Don't tell me seats are a reason, that's a pish cop-out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superhursty7 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 No for team that has been at the top of the league and have a fantastic away support that normally sing for 90mins some time the atmosphere at Somerset feels realy flat, normally I'm in the family stand so maybe that's why.

TBH I don't get to many away games just the 2 this season so only going but what read online, going without my daughter on Friday so will be interesting to see if the atmosphere on the terrace/SRE is any better, after Friday I doubt it though.

ALOREBURNE Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 We don’t have the biggest crowds but fair play to the young lads who sing there heart out for 90 minutes. They’ve been excellent this season at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Well that’s clearly not true. The atmosphere at home is dire however the away atmosphere is very dece. I would say the two games down in Dumfries and Dundee away in the cup were pretty good. The home games are always pretty shite until we start winning.

Why can't we have that here? Don't tell me seats are a reason, that's a pish cop-out. Simple answer to that is that we just don't have the same culture. Germans (and Italians, Serbians, Austrians etc.) take themselves and their ultra groups very seriously, and you wouldn't be allowed to just go and stand with them. It's all very choreographed and, having been to a few games, frankly repetitive. Half the time they're not even responding to what's going on out on the pitch, just bouncing and singing. At a certain point, it must just become background noise for the players. In Scotland, people are more self-aware/don't want the piss taken out of them for bouncing up and down for 90 minutes.

1nickydevlin Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Usually a great atmosphere at ayr away games .I think alcohol has a part too play in it . As for home atmosphere shooting second half into the sre needing a goal the atmosphere can be electric.you hear a lot of people on various forums moaning that it's flat and want a big sing song .but don't bother there arse too sing .if it's not the usual 20 ,30 boys starting songs you hear nothing .

Aye I'd rather take part in spontenous and heart felt response to what's going on during okay than being shouted at by some coke head with a megaphone.

DA Baracus Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Because too many fans here are shit and are entitled posers who don't have the heart to get behind their team in a decent way save for select moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scosha Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Ours is shite home and away. Funeral levels of atmosphere every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet of the Macabre Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Maybe because the quality is absolutely dire? The atmosphere at Starks was amazing until about 5-10 minutes in when everyone remembered how terrible we are. The crowd were pretty supportive at Tannadice last week as well, despite being given nothing to cheer about. I'd probably be a lot happier if I was paying Bundesliga entry prices for top quality football. Instead we pay the same or more for absolute garbage most weeks. Scottish clubs are lucky there are so many of us idiots left paying these daft prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Chuckling at the mental image of a County fan with a megaphone trying to get 80 fans at Alloa to do some choreographed routine in the glorified gazebo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latapythelegend Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Despite being absolutely shite. Our away crowds have been great this year. When you have nothing to cheer all season then the rare occasions that you can go baws lot mental, those are all the more satisfying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Man#1 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I think also it’s mostly down to numbers. Clubs at our level (and about half in the level above) have fairly small supports, so the comparison to the Bundesliga (or even the top two tiers of any of the big European leagues) are a bit irrelevant. Easier to get a good atmosphere in an away crowd of 5000 than 500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Atmosphere at Thistle games was great home and away in our last promotion season, and then for a few seasons in the top flight as well. Singing most of the games. It's all died right on its arse these last couple of years, though. Which is totally understandable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
