Atmosphere (6 Viewers)

[pusbccfc]

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).

Stoke was very good. Gives me hope!

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.

And then we became a proper, serious club.

I don’t see what the problem is anyway. We’re still one of the most atmospheric grounds in the championship. Most clubs would kill for the atmosphere we have

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.

It's not for everyone - I get that but there is a lot of nothingness.

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.

I'd orgotten about that, I was referring to the opposite corner when EMC (I think) was hacked down. But yeah, that also was a bit of a spark. Missed the missile being thrown but saw there player move it off the pitch. No need.

I think we're edging into the average Championship atmosphere.

We're capable of some proper noise once or twice a game but the majority of the game is no different to going to somewhere like Swansea.

Which championship clubs are better then?

I don't think any stand out currently. That's the point, we used to be miles ahead alongside Boro.

Will be interesting to see how they are Tuesday because they were very quiet last year when their 'ultras' boycotted. Pompey were good last month.

Which championship clubs are better then?

Portsmouth are the best in the division but I can’t think of many other obvious contenders.

People shouldn’t be too surprised. We were a club with a huge siege mentality for years and 21/22 the fans were returning to not just the stadium but the Championship. More off field nonsense followed and the fans bought completely into being a club defiant of circumstances.

We aren’t that club anymore, a whole load of new/returning fans are at games now (which is a great thing) and far from being underdogs in this league, we’re as good as or better than anyone else. If we go up maybe the plucky underdog status will sway it back to how it was before, who knows.

I thought today was very good overall, but I get annoyed (more than I should) by how early people leave for half time and how long it takes them to come back. Does something happen in the concourse I don't know about? The amount of goals scored just before or after half time this season when the ground is only 2/3 full is crazy.

By a million miles portsmouth.

Daylight second.

At one point after we took the lead, I thought I'd gone deaf it was so quiet!!! I know we were strangling the fight out of them, but you could hear the players shouting to each other......... very weird sensation

It happened recently in another game , I just wanted to leave.

Exactly. We're a proper club now

If you can't name more than one thats better, we aren't average

I lost my shit with a father and son combo who have sat behind me since we came back to the CBS. So negative about the players every week for years. At 2 nil down were saying Eccles wasn't up to it and calling Simms a carthorse. Used quite a few words I shouldn't have. I did feel smug when both of them scored. We're top of the league and still they moan. Feel a bit of a knob now I've calmed down though. Sorry not sorry.
