Atmosphere and pre match yesterday (1 Viewer)

ccfctommy · Feb 17, 2026

Was something else IMO. It felt like a proper 'big' game and our fans didn't disappoint. A proper atmosphere which hasn't been heard in a while and I go as far to say as one of the best since we returned to the CBS.

Also, I get we wont do the fireworks and flame thingy's every game but it got everyone in the mood - Did anyone notice they switched up the pre game music aswell? I thought it all made it better. More of a siege mentality thing.

So glad JD didn't talk over we'll live and die. Thats killed any atmosphere in recent weeks for me.

skybluecam · Feb 17, 2026

Hope the away end at WBA matches that. Norwich and QPR were absolutely crap

It sounded like a different guy who read out the team.

Nah it was still him I think. He was on the mic all night.

There was a “sky blue song” about 15-20 mins in which was probably the loudest I’ve ever heard it. Even the West Stand jumped to their feet and joined in early.

My sister came with us last night for the first time since league 2 days. Couldn’t believe the noise (and said we spend more on fireworks now than we did on players back then )

Watching on the tv fans created a fantastic atmosphere , so loud and passionate .

QPR was one of the worst away support in terms of fan noise I've seen from us in recent memory

Ashdown · Feb 17, 2026

I keep hearing about one of the best noises at CBS but it must make a massive difference as to where you sit. We were having a rare venture last night into block 9. Right by the away fans you are hearing them a lot more plus I have to say….there were a lot of tourist types around us who didn’t sing and were up and down to the concourse way too much. Whereas our STs last year were in 17 and it got very noisy in there

It was a dreadful performance from us to be fair. Nothing really to shout about other than Eccles header.

i used the recent season ticket holders feedback survey to ask them to stop talking over the song and also to stop the PA from trying to drown out supporters chants in the run up to KO. idk if the survey has closed yet but if enough agree and submit it might get a bit of traction with the club.

Skybluecov1 · Feb 17, 2026

The fact it was on ITV and Sky Sports and we still had the support we did was amazing. Can't say I'm a fan of the fireworks, but its entertaining for the kids.
Now we are at the business end of the season. Expect home games being sold out when they become available!! Look at the end of last season! When play offs were calling, every man and their dog was turning up!

I love the Fireworks, That night against Sheff United, was the best pre game atmosphere I have ever witnessed

I emailed them and said that too. Hopefully it was deliberate that he didn't do it then.

Absolutely spot on. It’s one of my pet hates. I said it in the survey as well.

I dislike the fireworks. Don’t need them.

mmttww · Feb 17, 2026

Reading out the home side before they came out was a good tweak. Hope it stays. Miss cheering along with it.

It’s an entertainment business.

Ccfc_Addy · Feb 17, 2026

Turning the lights down and flicking them up as the names were read out reminded me of going to the basketball in the USA, in the best possible way. Pre-match was great last night

Why would tourists come and watch us?

We're Coventry ffs, not Barcelona

Thought the pre game music was shit and sounded like a German school disco in the 90s tbh. Also don’t like the WLADITT being done after the game. Keep the Specials and the player songs. Big fan of the proper reading out of names tho. Bring back cheering each player (and Jay Dasilva riding a tiger)

Yeah I hate fireworks generally but it really adds to the atmosphere

By that I meant students and a big posse from Coventry Blaze.

I hope you're not calling Justice German school disco music

Wait until we play Liverpool or Arsenal next season. It will be like a tui advert

Our atmosphere got a shout out on the what the EFL podcast this week

TV coverage does not give an accurate account of the sound level, because they have commentators commentating on the game so any microphone's around the pitch are turned down so you don't get the full audio levels.

I can assure you the sound in the stadium is a lot louder than you hear on the TV.

I rewatched it on ITV and didn't hear the Middlesbrough fans much at all so it depends where the commentators were yet I heard them a few times from block 22
