Dreadful atmosphere as usual

Re: Dreadful atmosphere as usual

Absolutely flat, 21000 fans and barely a noise all. Obviously the shit football didn't help but that's no excuse really.

It’s not an excuse. It’s the root cause. The football is slow and lethargic. The team lacks character. The fans have little or nothing to get enthusiastic about. It’s no more complicated than that.

Re: Dreadful atmosphere as usual

Quite a few fans who are not season ticket holders and saw that performance today are going to have to be dragged back to watch any more games

As are plenty of season ticket holders

And several of the players

What a terrible advert for a new beginning at CCFC

Re: Dreadful atmosphere as usual

As much as you or anyone else wishes otherwise it is up to the players to get to the crowd going.

It is and I dont have any bright ideas as to how to.improve it. Singing sections always seem a bit naff but maybe theres a better way to organise the fans who go away and make a good racket.

Maybe, but then you had 500 QPR fans whove watched absolute shit football for months, had a 4-0 hammering at home on the opening day and still made a great noise today.

As do we, when we are away.

Away fans on a day out tend to make a noise. Particularly when they are winning and comfortable.

Poor crowd today also.

We've got less season ticket holders than we ended last season with and no price increases etc. Very poor crowd really.

Mehmet was claiming we would "sell out" (exact quote) of season tickets due to the signings that were coming in. So where are they or did we see them produce that performance today?

21000 poor crowd.??? Its a brilliant crowd.

Theres a cost of living crisis and that many turn up after last seasons garbage only to witness worse if anything.

Agree with you , terrible first impressions today in terms of performance, atmosphere and attendance.
We really should be getting 25,000 plus for Ramsey’s first game.

Sorry I just meant in comparison what dalman told us he was expecting. I think most here will be happy if we can stay up somehow this year but I wonder what tan expectations are? He sacked morison for being in the bottom half so wonder what he's expecting from this group?

And the season before that and the season before that.

Re: Dreadful atmosphere as usual

I was amazed to hear that there were 21,000 there today. Given the standard of football on offer, that is pretty good. I wonder how many will turn up in a fortnight for the Sheff Wed game? And of course for the (now) ritual humiliation by the Jacks in September.

It's been years of utter shit. Saw how much the atmosphere improved as soon as we had a decent attack.

Nonsense. Aaron Ramsey’s a fine midfielder who’s had a very decent career, but he’s not some kind of a superstar. Never has been.

Those who believed Ramsey’s signing would result in thousands of additional fans buying season tickets and flocking through the turnstiles were deluded. I got shouted down on here for suggesting as much a while back, but the fact is he’s just not got that kind of a profile.

Re: Dreadful atmosphere as usual

The last time we really had decent atmospheres at the stadium was during our last Premier league season.
The hammering at the hands of Watford was decent, helped by the awful ref, as was the Chelsea game. Everton wasn't so great but we did ok against Liverpool partly because of the crowd.
Was it the Warnock factor that helped, or the break and downturn in form and quality since covid that has killed off any really passionate crowds?
