They sell the football club but keep the stadium?

There's 1 Queen song that I like and that's Too Much Love Will Kill You. It's the only one of their songs that has an emotional truth to it, although even that cranks up a bit on the chorus. They went for showmanship and commercialism over expression and artistic merit. On the contrary...

I was gonna post 'Hahahahahahahaha' but thought I'd bettercheck to see if you're being ironic first. So, are you being ironic?

Yes I'm sure you could argue that there isn't a good atmosphere. But, my point is about negative atmosphere's, not good atmosphere's, which, incidentally, was rarely achieved at The Ricoh.

They're not incapable of generating an atmosphere. However, they do choose not to generate a negative one.

Wolves 2008? (the one where Westwood saved a pen in the last minute) Blackburn in the FA Cup when Best scored? There are a few and it stretched back to Highfield Road too

Haha, okay, harsh, and needed an explanation but I see where you're coming from. I'd say you could put forward a compelling case for apathy, but none of the others.

Centre half he was classy. But I could never understand why he would never win headers (as a Striker!) until the last ten games of the season or the final year of his contract. McAllister was worse for me - a four year contract, shit for the first year, okay in the second, injured for the...

Yeah, of course they would. Look, I'm not saying conclusively that there is a definitive cause and effect, just that there is correlation and I'm interested to watch it develop. If you ever go to Sixfields, it's remarkable how little negativity there is. Compare that to The Ricoh and...

Yeah I always thought Dublin and McAllister were massively over rated for us too. (Although I realise I'm in the minority here). Both had one good year for us before their contract ran down and then went elsewhere!

I love a good atmosphere at games, but if I was the only person in the crowd (and I don't sing) and we played well and got three points. I'd be happy. But regardless of that, our normal atmosphere at home games has been full of boos, negative comments, chanting for our own players to be sent...

Did you mean to quote me on this Astute? Can't see the connection with what I was saying and what you're saying.

I always thought he was shite. I'll never forget the 97 season v Derby when he jogged back against their winger and almost sent us down!

Okay, that's conclusive then is it? Debate over? I'm not saying it's fact, I'm just saying that for a long time we've had A LOT of fans who've jumped on the backs of players, and the team at every opportunity, and now, at home games, we don't and it's worth monitoring whether this has affect...

I don't understand your lobotomy comment. Your statement was a misinterpretation of what the fans at Sixfields have been saying about the atmosphere, but I'll take back enlighten as obviously it's riled you (which wasn't my intention). And finding 'an excuse' in what I said is a stretch.

'We all dream of a team of Gary Breen's'

Well it's not a positive. But what could be argued is a positive is that there is no-one berating the players at all, and perhaps (although it remains to be proven) this has a greater effect on the performance of a player than 15,000 fans who are likely to explode into a series of boos at half...

That's the point Uwe's making but I was enlightening RPHunt on the point he was making about it being how the home fans like it.

Any songs that make your blood boil when you hear them? Mine: 'Your support is fucking shite' Only ever sung by the losing/smaller team. Whenever I hear this on TV I know exactly which team's fans are singing it. 'He does what he wants...etc' (not to be confused with 'He scores when he...

Yes.
