I go to a football game to watch football.

The good old days of atmosphere!

BED.

May aswell watch it on the tele if you want no atmosphere at all

Don't you like a bit of Russ mate.

To be honest I much prefer to go to watch Rugby live.

No Segregation = Great Banter
Drinking In Stands = Drunk Banter

Also never have any fear of idiots causing trouble.
No corralling by pumped up coppers.

But it involves watching a load of ruperts sticking their heads uo each others bottoms.

Crystal Palace is the best example of this.

That moronic chanting is incessant and doesn’t stop even in tense moments when the natural reaction of someone engrossed in the game is to stop chanting and either hold your breath or yell random encouragement.

United’s away games are unbearable at times when they just chant nonsensically for minutes on end.

It is the “look at me” generation in full voice.

Generation is completely the wrong word but I get what you're saying.

Same here. I'm quite happy going to games with mates. If you're lucky you get to see a good game. And if someone gets spanked you're not in a grump because your team isn't involved. It's also nice to take in championship and league 1/2 games. Getting away from the Prem bubble and watching 'proper footie' is quite refreshing.

I've been going to Evostik league games this season and will carry on next season. It's usually £8 to get in and you can get a pint in the clubhouse and take it on the terracing or in the stand.

I am from Nortern Ireland, most of the games I go to watch have less than 1000 people at them. Many have considerably les. The atmosphere is created by the players doing something exciting. The deal is I pay my money to be entertained, I don't expect to have to be the creator of the excitement otherwise the players would be paying me to attend.

People want atmosphere. Not the fake moron SOccer AM atmosphere

But most of the time there isn't any atmosphere so at some point something needs to be done about it

 

[part time fan]

Would rather be around people singing and chanting in a designated section instead of standing in the middle of some bores whinging about a miss placed pass.

Especially when Everton are never gonna get the whole stadium excited over anything they do on the football pitch.

Why exactly?

 

[marsh]

Why exactly?

Like minded fans spread out across the stadium?

 

[goodisonopheliac]

Organised singing sections like the palace ‘ultras’ need shooting . An utter embarrassment to English football . A gang of southern weasels pretending they are on a curva in Italy is pathetic. Most of them don’t even look like they watch the game .

On a similar note, that bloody band at Sheffield Wednesday can get in the sea.

They were grim back in the 90’s
