Dreadful atmosphere as usual

Re: Dreadful atmosphere as usual

All this nonsense about drummers and swapping ends… We need a side with attitude that doesn’t allow a team in disarray to waltz around all first half without putting a glove on them and barely cross our own halfway line. 3 years of rubbish and still not putting in any effort until behind.

Does anyone like the drum? Anyone?

I didn’t think that the drummer was there today

Re: Dreadful atmosphere as usual

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.

I doubt anyone has the kind of profile that would get thousands more flocking to see us. As things stand we're a Championship side that has avoided relegation for the last two seasons.

No. We need a string quartet.

No. We need a string quartet.

Yeah, a bit of Mantovani never hurt anyone.

Atmosphere won’t ever improve until the away fans are nearer to the home end

Song book is absolute tragic. Couldn’t tell you the last time I heard I’ll be there which is one of the only songs individual to us

It is a vicious circle as flat performance leads to flat crowd which leads to an ever flatter performance and so on

Bulut must have been shaking his head compared to his time in Turkey atmosphere wise

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

I was there with my son. Such a massive disappointment.

I think the police and city council insisted that the main home end was not next to the away fans or there would be issues with granting a licence?

Every club needs a winning side and of course we can't win every challenge and score with every chance but crap lifeless performances need to be few and far between

If I was a QPR fan and CCFC got a draw with a late goal I would have been pissed off big time

I doubt it. For three of the four teams he managed in Turkey 5,000 was a bumper crowd.

1. Swap the Canton and the family. Not going to happen unfortunately with the current people in charge.

2. Bin off the crap drummer. Hinders the atmosphere more than it adds to it. Get a group of fans up on the gantry starting songs instead.

3. Add the rails to the entire Canton stand. Which I believe is in the plans anyways.

Those 3 in that order would be the most beneficial imo. Only no 3 will happen anytime soon I reckon.

4. Most importantly, get the players to provide something on the pitch in the first seventy odd minutes of games to get supporters who want to back their team, like most do, engaged. All we’ve tended to have in the last three seasons is “grandstand finishes” which are nearly always unsuccessful in turning around a losing cause - you could tell it was going to be yet more of the usual dross at Cardiff City Stadium after about ten minutes yesterday.

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. Im not sure what can be done to remedy it but im getting a bit ****ed off with being outsung by 500 away fans every other week

Players set the tone, if Liverpool served up that kind of dross for three years on the trot the crowd reaction would be the same.

But probably made more noise than the fortress CCS

Re: Dreadful atmosphere as usual

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?

I think Dalman & Co, along with a sizeable chunk of our fans, really under-estimated how poor a squad we have and how much actually needs to be done to build one that can compete comfortably at this level. It's my old bugbear I know, but just compare our squad to others in the Championship. Probably 10 are out of sight, another 8 or 9 considerably better all round, and we're in the bottom 5 or 6. Who are worse ? Rotherham ? Sheffield Wednesday ? Certainly not QPR, who despite getting thumped last week look to have players who can move quickly, pass quickly, and look comfortable on the ball. They weren't great and probably will struggle to get close to mid table, but their players made ours look like waxworks.
