I have noticed the older fans are quieter these days unless it's the SB song.

Doesn't seem to be many groups of young lads willing to make an atmosphere. You get those when there's 3000+.

If you want an example of what expectations can do, this Leicester game is a prime example. Silence and now getting toxic. A world away from how we backed the team during a difficult spell this time last season. We really have very little to worry about.

Don't think we should distribute away tickets based on how loud you are.

Can the audition be “write a chant for this player in four lines or fewer”?

Yet again 110% effort put into WLADITT pre KO and very little immediately after culminating in total silence when we were behind.
Albion tearing us a new one for it as well.
Slightly unedifying if I'm to be honest.
We're not really great volume wise when the chips are down are we?
Cue excuses: 'Early KO', 'Rain', etc.

No one is.

I've said this a million times on here. We aren't special one way or the other.

90% of fanbases would behave exactly the same as us if you make their circumstances the same

Oh behave, there was a 10 minute lull. What do you want, a endless array of adapted pop songs without a pause? The lull didn't last long. Plenty of noise at 2-1. I don't know if you recall, but we've had plenty of times when the chips have been down over past couple of seasons. Last season against Luton and Sheffield United we roared them back into those games. This hand-wringing when we get a few minutes of quiet is weird. I maintain, I'd take the CBS atmosphere over any other in the league, bar maybe Pompey.

For a few years we were probably the loudest and most consistently noisy fans in the country.

We're now pretty average really.

Which is a shame. We were in that 10% for years.

As I've said many times, there's no banter between fans anymore. It used to be what made the corner so good even when games were shit.

Don't know, could have been a bit longer. A bit of shell shock that wore off once there was a spark, a couple of chances and that incident in the far corner got people back up again, it's just the ebb and flow.

Atmosphere over the past year or so has been decent but nowhere near to what it was 2/3 years ago.

Away atmosphere also has been poor compared to recent seasons, I’ve always said the atmosphere is better with 1000 away fans than 3 or 4 thousand.

Nothing above is a criticism, just my opinion.

We'll just disagree on that. I don't think we're anywhere near average. The current situation breeds expectations, it plays a part. At 2-1 down the backing was excellent.

It's the drop off that disappoints me. We were so so good 2/3 years ago.

Nothing will ever top Blackpool away in 2021(?) when the Gustavo song first got a run out. There was not a moments silence for the entire 90 minutes. The best support I've ever seen/heard. There were many good atmospheres that season and the ground was half full.

That's what happens when you drop thousands of people into a stand that don't actually want to stand and make an atmosphere.

It's a very weird dynamic in that stand. You've got lads in Stone Island boozed up next to mum's with children.

Re the incident: I presume the lad in the green bobble hat who was led out by half of WMP in the second half was the object throwing culprit?
If proven, that's a lengthy stadium ban.

There isn’t a 10%.
5% are better than us, 5% are worse.

Some great away days in that spell I agree, but I'd also say two of the best away atmospheres of recent years have been this season (Derby and Stoke).
