Stoke’s ‘Be with you’ players entrance song is a belter. I wish we did a hymn too like Albion fans, sounded great on Saturday.

Oh when the saints, repeated several times during a match. Does the club have a role to play in this? Not all the time, but having a bloody big drum being played by a really good banger of drums would be a step in the right direction.

I quite like the fireworks and resulting smoky start etc
Resembles something you'd see in Turkey
Portsmouth similar - 'Blue Army' and 'Play up Pompey' literally all they had in their locker when we played them. Best atmosphere in the league my arse.LAST.

To be fair Evo, I am recovering from man flu, and had the mother of all throats yesterday. Still mouthed and made vague noises for some of the songs, and aggravated my throat by shouting at the events on the pitch (despite promising my wife that I wouldn't) Normal service to be resumed at Southampton (hopefully) and in Singers Corner on Boxing Day. I do agree that it's got worse, and if the drummer gets 'bored' it seems to have a knock on effect with the rest of the crowd,Gradually but definitely getting worse both home and away
Fans shushing and singing football in a library to mask the lack of singing ourselves etc .
You wouldnt think the club were top of the championship by 12 points
At this point the excuse book has been played out ..the atmsophere is just shit now

Yesterday I took my Dad and eldest up to the game, usually I’d be in Block 13 but was in 24 for a change, and I thought the atmosphere was pretty poor with the exception of the first 5/10 minutes after kick off.Atmosphere yesterday was dreadful.
Yep it’s nervousnessYesterday I took my Dad and eldest up to the game, usually I’d be in Block 13 but was in 24 for a change, and I thought the atmosphere was pretty poor with the exception of the first 5/10 minutes after kick off.
Bristol’s fans I thought were okay overall, but I was surprised that when they were singing stuff like “top of the league and still don’t sing” there was no response from Singers Corner at all.
For a team that is top of the league you’d think the atmosphere would be bouncing most games, but it seems to of gone the other way, there is a real nervousness from the stands which makes the atmosphere very dull. Not sure if there is a solution to it really, but makes me concerned if we start to go on a bad spell as I don’t see how the atmosphere can pick up to help the team.
Here’s my take.. we are not playing like we did a few weeks ago, the fans know what can happen when we have a small squad.Gradually but definitely getting worse both home and away

Lots in the corner trying but also lots in the corner standing or sitting silently. Seems like every other part of the ground sits and waits for EMC's chant to start. Bored reading folks criticising the atmosphere. Do something about it or shut up, FFS!
Thought it was noticeably quiet yesterday but I think the issues are partly to blame- lack of beer and people in a bad mood.
We’ve also lost the air of invincibility we had, and stopped scoring for fun. You can see from the forum that most people just want us to get through December with a decent points tally.
Bristol really played up the library chants though, it was nowhere near as bad as many clubs in this league.
Challenge acceptedNo amount of beer changes that.
Its not as simple as "do something about it" though is it? Sometimes when the crowd/atmosphere is flat, its flat. And no amount of trying to start songs works.Lots in the corner trying but also lots in the corner standing or sitting silently.

The lack of away fans doesn't help, Ipswich and Leicester will be different but not as good as if they were to bring 3000. I think it helps with a boisterous away following
I actually think the scoring for fun is the problem in a weird way. The place is almost expectant and doesn't feel the need to drive the team on to score because we almost feel that we're going to score anyway?Thought it was noticeably quiet yesterday but I think the issues are partly to blame- lack of beer and people in a bad mood.

I think this is part of it too, Singers Corner has become renowned for being the best part of the atmosphere at the CBS, it gets mentioned in the Media, it’s where The Enemy wanted to play WLADITT, etc, it’s going to attract fans who aren’t necessarily interested in making the atmosphere as much as soaking it in. That’s fine by the way, people are paying their money to be where they want to be.The people criticising are trying.
There's not much you can do when thousands of new fans turn up and don't join in. That's not a pop either, I'm glad we have new fans but they are never going to be a noisy as those there in the tough days.
We miss the back and forth with away fans. It was a huge part of why the atmosphere was good. Unfortunately people didn't move over and now the section closest to the away end is a mix of families, general admission fans and a hardy few who want to stand.
It definitely plays a factor the away fans being so far from the corner.
Atmospheres are always better with back and forth but Bristol city fans may as well not been there yesterday.
They all had the chance to move over but didn’t for a strange collection of reasons that basically amount to stubbornness for the sake of it lol.The absolute biggest reason.
There's a reason people loved to the corner in the first place.

More definitely moved over this season but you can't always hear the drum and the songs from there.
We were never going to move in large numbers, people have various reasons for not moving and the gaps were just filled in with people who wanted to be close to the "atmosphere" but don't want to be part of it.Big opportunity missed with singers corner not moving behind the goal. I’m there now and it’s relatively quiet and there’s no chance of anyone moving there now.
Exactly this. Stubbornness, that and a daft idea of nostalgia about "singers corner" which isnt even as old as the ground. The "atmosphere block" has moved several times. Its not like its the old West terrace or anything! Like you say, the chance has been and gone now. Opportunity missed. And I dont see any chance of rectifying it now, unless we do a Luton and do back to back relegations and end up in L1 again (praying this never happens).They all had the chance to move over but didn’t for a strange collection of reasons that basically amount to stubbornness for the sake of it lol.
We didn't move as my mate still buys his dead brothers seat and didn't want give up that seat yet. Is the stubbornness for the sake of it?They all had the chance to move over but didn’t for a strange collection of reasons that basically amount to stubbornness for the sake of it lol.
