Stoke was very good. Gives me hope!
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).
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.
It's not for everyone - I get that but there is a lot of nothingness.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.
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
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?
Portsmouth are the best in the division but I can’t think of many other obvious contenders.Which championship clubs are better then?

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

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 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.
Oh no! You didn't sing "your dad's your mum?"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.
I am in complete agreement with this. It is fair comment.I think we're edging into the average Championship atmosphere.

If you can't name more than one thats better, we aren't average
Is the atmosphere as good as it was,a,couple of years,ago, definitely not.
Is it better thanmost of the other grounds we visit, certainly.

Daylight second.
Not anymore.
Louder than Stoke yeah, not on the same planet as Pompey and Wrexham in our last three away games.
Boro probably the same on Tuesday.
We were as good if not better than all three of those 18 months ago.
Your basing this on individual games. Wrexham fan I know says it was by far their best home atmosphere all season, said it's been really flat for some games. That's football. Boro on Tuesday will probably be up for it because of the occasion, but run of the mill games? Last two visits there haven't been all that good at all. People are overthinking it. Occasion and the game itself can drive it. That Boro game at the end of last season was about as good as I can ever recall and at any ground. I've also been to Pompey when it's been average. Even this season I've seen posts from fans of clubs like Norwich and Sheffield United staying they wish they had a home atmosphere like ours, and that's us being a bit below par.
Which goes back to my previous point, we've become the average.
It is what it is, I'm slowly getting used to it.
Let's hope if we get promoted some more people can find a way to move over to the South Stand. Would make all the difference.
I thought portsmouth were shite when we went this season , its a mythBy a million miles portsmouth.
Daylight second.
You’d hope if we went up that the siege mentality would return and so would the reliably good atmospheres when we’re half expecting to get pumped every week.
They literally sang two songs. "Blue Army" and "Play up Pompey". Boring as fuck. And half the home end was empty by the time they scored their consolation.I thought portsmouth were shite when we went this season , its a myth
Lol thats the biggest load of bullshit I've heard it's not myth.I thought portsmouth were shite when we went this season , its a myth
Lol thats the biggest load of bullshit I've heard it's not myth.
Wrexham fans have been moaning massively about the atmosphere at home all season.... apart from game v Cov!Wrexham were excellent too.
Again, it helped having their noisy fans next to the away end where they could take the piss.
We've lost that.
Well when i went this year i thought it was wankLol thats the biggest load of bullshit I've heard it's not myth.
You’re right they were shite. But then again we play in a soulless bowl that nobody can get to and will never be filled. We have shit songs that nobody sings. All the visiting supporters who say we have a great atmosphere are idiots. Our own supporters know better.I thought portsmouth were shite when we went this season , its a myth
