Atmosphere or rather lack of at the CCS?

**Taffy Blue in Berkshire** · 12-11-23, 21:06

First game yesterday since QPR in August.

Was amazed at how quiet it was in the ground sat in Block 111. The place was very flat and pretty soulless.

Hardly a 'fortress Ninian'!

Wtf has happened?

Picking the scab of moving the canton to the family stand again

**SLUDGE FACTORY** · 12-11-23, 22:41

Unless there is 22 or 23 k in there its generally pretty crap let's be honest

**JamesWales** · 13-11-23, 00:27

Better this season than in the last 2-3 in my opinion..but yeah, absolutely nothing what it used to be.

Chants are all pretty dull and formulaic too.

Biggest difference would be to get more vocal home fans in the Ninian lower to replicate the old Bob Bank.

And the age old debate about swapping the home end with the family stand, which I am not sure is totally viable, but would certainly help things.

It was. It's not been bad this season. Saturday was awful but there was nothing much to cheer, despite the 2 goals.

**Dave Blue** · 13-11-23, 14:02

Might be down to a limp start and lacklustre second half. Bristol game was pretty good.

I think the art of inventing chants has died a death.

It has. We were much more inventive when we were shit. Gallows humour i suppose, we could laugh at ourselves and others. That's inclusiveness for you....

**Armitage Shanks** · 13-11-23, 18:43

I thought the tune to rubber bullet would have been used by now

**AlwaysFeelinBlue** · 13-11-23, 21:07

Yep, it's pretty bad unless it's Swansea or Bristol we're playing, or if we're winning. Not sure why, seems like people just can't be bothered? People are really up for it in the concourse before but as soon as we get to the stands we just all kind of give up.

Would the drum doing more help? Would a trumpet or something help?
Doesn't help we're over 100 metres from the away fans but I guess that's how it is, even people in ninian are told to sit etc though I'm sure they want to make a sound! Even with 21k there or whatever it was it just felt, dull

Forget it….like you say unless it’s a Derby game barely a pip. Even the Liberty is pretty quiet these days and they don’t have a Hitler controlling the stadium and can stand/sing right next to the away fans…..

Ah yes Adolf Hitler, famously against mass gatherings and antagonism of other groups

It was good for Leeds, but it's not been the same since they banned the bottle of p!ss
