Atmosphere (7 Viewers)

[Evo1883]

I would say we have to stop singing football in a library , its a desperate song and doesnt really make sense when were also in a Library ourselves currently .


At preston you could hear the preston fans in the far corner sing , and then the cov fans who were shite all game started singing Du dU Du , FooTBaLl In LIbRary

Its just weird

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?

Thats an extreme example and arguibly quite individual and unique .. the corner still has several thousand other supporters .. we didnt move because weve sat next to the same people for years , i imagine thats a bigger factor

 

[Evo1883]

More to the point , why does it have to be about the corner anyway .. there are 20,000 plus other supporters that can chime up

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Here me out for a second here...

Could we veto the people in singers corner. Perhaps have a regular reviewing and scoring someone whos sitting there for the first time? Maybe give them a rating on how well they chant, how good their banter is with the away fans, what kind of gear they wear (Stone island, CP etc)

If they fail, they can't sit there anymore, if they do then they can.

Just a thought.

No different to other grounds having a kop or singing section I guess. Same everywhere.

As mentioned on another thread. Our area as appears to be infiltrated with tourists! Good for numbers but far to premier league like. Thing is - if we do go up- we’re going to have to get that old atmosphere back as we’re gonna need every little help we can.

Tourists or new local (perhaps more fairweather than most) fans?

talking About it yesterday some said it was a better atmosphere a couple of seasons ago with less fans, well it’s still those fans that are there ? Think it’s just a nervous atmosphere at the minute we’re not used to it, and it’s not that bad,get the odd quiet moments in any game,

 

[Liquid Gold]

The club should have been more proactive about it. Said the south stand is the singers section and worked with STHs in the corner to arrange so that they are around the same people. A suggested new seat for example.

Then they make the whole end safe standing. Big missed opportunity.

I’m sure the team need the 12th man just as much now. But they’ll go on City Unseen saying how good the fans were in fear of upsetting them.

 

[Hobo]

Atmosphere ebbs and flows like the game, some times the crowd sparks the game and sometimes the game sparks the crowd. It has always been the same all around the country.

I have been to Anfield and the Kop can be magnificent. I have also been there when they are totally flat apart from a burst of cheering after a goal.

It’s actually very hard for everyone to sing together.

Sitting in the east stand you can sometimes hear a noticeable delay on the rare occasions the north stand tries to join in chants from singers corner.

It would be funny if one of them said the crowd were poor, just for how much of a meltdown there would be.

Tbf, the type of game we just had is never the type to raise din; it's edgy and everyone's nervous.

We will sometimes lose

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.

I’m not inclined to focus on ‘new’ fans anyway. The North Stand was always quieter than Singers Corner and other locations nearby. With many having moved to the South Stand I’d say there’s a fair argument to suggest they are making a good effort there.

Wouldn’t blame them for trying. Can’t always depend on the game to get the crowd going. We’ll need to dig them out of a hole on a few occasions between now and May no doubt.

My cancellable CCFC opinion is that outside of the EMC and Saka chants, all of our chants are kind of shit. None of them get the blood pumping like the Gyokeres, Hamer and O'Hare chants used to. There's also a dearth of Coventry Homes these days, for whatever reason.

Ultimately though, I think that we're kind of the victims of our own success; in the initial post-Covid days we were usually the underdogs and there was a seige mentality from the fans, now we're top of the pack and there's a sense of complacency and entitlement that comes with that. I remember finding the tepid atmosphere against WBA really bloody weird, like we'd just turned around a 0-2 deficit and there was barely a sound around the stadium.

 

[David O'Day]

With regards to the Bristol fans, if a an away teams fans break their own silence to sing football in a library then the home team should be awarded a pen.

 

[skyblue_55]

Was it 3 seasons ago , when beating Birmingham again , the twist & shout was sang by everyone……the stadium was alive , so let’s all get together in our trying to back the lads in whatever we sing ?

Seems like it's sung by away fans at all grounds every week in the Championship

There was a tweet I saw a few months back that said something like, this is every match in the UK:

Away fans: Football in a library

Home fans: We forgot that you were here

Away fans: ...

Home fans: ...

Away fans: Football in a library

We're too good now. That is the simple truth.

Atmosphere is caused by tension. There isn't any tension anymore. There hasn't been a single home game this season where we didn't look like winning.

The reason the atmosphere has dropped can be linked directly to the fact that no one gets on the players backs anymore. Three home games in a row we go behind, and whilst losing the crowd just carried on as normal, because they knew we would win anyway.

God willing we'll be in the Premier League next season, and the players will need all the help they can get. I'm sure in those games the crowd will respond accordingly.

I think everyone should just enjoy this incredible season for what it is. It might be the last time for 34 years that we're in this great division.

And in that game where we finally do it, I think the atmosphere in that game will be unlike anything the CBS has ever seen

First point is a great point (although the Tats chant is a big load of convoluted waffle) and coupled with what @pusbccfc said around fans in the corner being too far from the away end contribute to the meh atmosphere. Feels like we hear PUSB once or twice a game started by the corner which for many of our older fans is probably the only chant they know.

Hard disagree - the Sakamoto song is also shit.

I think everyone knows the chants in fairness (well most of them)

The problem is by the time the rest of the ground has a chance to respond, the corner has stopped.

 

[Ccfc_Addy]

Obviously comes down to subjective taste, but I like it because it has some flair and personality to it. My heart sank to my feet the first time I heard the new Grimes song, put some bloody effort in guys!

There's a really weird shared embarrassment whenever PUSB starts up. TOTTENHAM OR CHELSEA, UNITED OR ANYONE (ANYONE) They shan't defeat us, we'll ...

I don't think its embarrassment. I think its just that its out of sync around the ground by the time it gets to that point.

I've said a lot of times before, Singers Corner has a real problem with tempo. They think its a race.

 

[pusbccfc]

I think the Sakamoto song is fine. Our fans struggle with anything that lasts more than 20 seconds. People can't even finish PUSB.

Fingers crossed if we go up we will be the underdogs in a lot of games and I think we will get that siege mentality back and create a great atmosphere to get behind the lads

 

[Bigelvesy]

Without a shadow of a doubt we need more player
Songs. The sakamoto one is shite. Its basically the EMC and bobby thomas show now.

 

[bigfatronssba]

I think that is definitely it. Robins rebuilt the whole club with a siege mentality, and the fans bought into that.

Post 2023 that didn't really work anymore. Like you say it'll definitely return if we go up

 

[Warwickhunt]

It's all to do with Coventry city glass half full expectations! As soon as we scored the atmosphere went through the roof for about 10 mins and then the crowd started to get anxious again. We need to be scoring again to

I thought the West Brom turnaround was the best atmosphere of the season?

Saka song is fuckin folk song
