No Atmosphere at Football Grounds

[E1999G]

I read somewhere the other day that Alex Ferguson was moaning about how there was no atmosphere at Old Trafford the other day and that the atmosphere in ground was at a low during the past two weeks. I sort of have to agree with him i went to spurs vs fulham on boxing day which spurs won 5-1 :P but you could hear the players and managers shouting that how quite it was. Did anyone go 2 games over xmas/new year how was the atmosphere?

[saxo1510]

never been to a millwall match then!

[Jacko]

makes me angry that atmophere is poor. it people turning up exping a win so they can ooothe team i support won.

fans who only sing when there winning annoy me alot.

and its even worse when the supposed fans are the ones claiming they support man utd.

[E1999G]

No lol the best atmosphere was spurs vs sevilla last year. Spurs were 2-0 down on the nite and 3-1 down over all for a solid 45mins every spurs fan was chants Martin Jol's Blue and White Army the place was jumping when we scored

[Jacko]

old firm games are incredible for atmosphere. also a united city game is awesome.

[saxo1510]

millwall -sing when their winning (when they actually do)
Millwall- Sing when their losing (most of the time)
Millwall sing all the time!

[Scattle]

Went to United and Everton on the 23rd dec, atmosphere was fine imo, worst atmosphere game at united was when we played sportling Lisbon at home this year in champs league because we were already through it was poor tbh...

Best game I have been too for atmosphere was United V arsenal when we stopped them from there 50 game not lost streak a few seasons back and the game against liverpool at home were Rio got the winner in the last minute :d

atmosphere was immense.

[Peejous]

I loved watching the highlights of the Man ure vs Blues game. When Man U went 1-0 up i thought it was weird how they score yet the blues fans were singing louder! HA!

Keep right on to the end of the road!

[laura_g]

lol you wana go to a villa- blues game hehe

[Peejous]

lol you wana go to a villa- blues game hehe

I was, we were shamefully out sang, out played and out done.

Fair play to the scum, their doing well at the moment. Still hate them though, heard in the news yesterday Forrest Gump is a fan of the Vile too.

[AdamW]

Man Utd is a brand.......not a football team.....Glazers who bought them go to 1 game a season....dedication

Way tooooo coporate now....

Gay seating areas only....cant stand up anymore.....I know they were introduced due to Hillsborough diaster but they ruined the atmosphere...

Dont talk to me you blue nosed muppet :homme: :panic:

[Peejous]

Dont talk to me you blue nosed muppet :homme: :panic:

The thing that REALLY pisses me off though, I dont know if anybody else has this when they go the games.

But...why do people go to the games and just because we lost or draw etc. they Boo! It really gets on my tits and doesnt do the team any good.

Another thing thats pisses me off...why do people leave like 5 - 10 minutes before the end of the game!

[Clouds_mate]

Away games pwn imo.

Amtosphere can be gash at the bridge, as most of the ground aint true fans.

Go to an away game and its soooo much better.

away games are full off thuroghbred fans. the kind that will cut your nuts off if you dont know the songs...love it.

[E1999G]

They are trying to get everyone to sit down now at spurs when they do, the fans start chanting

Stand Up if you hate Arsenal :P

Then they all stand back up and its a waste of time lol

[Scattle]

green street ftw haha

that pisses me off the most. seeing people leave old trafford before the final whilst and im sitting at home watching thinkin id give my right nut to be there.

[Clouds_mate]

Yep. Over running a town and a local pub to the ground. Fucking packed unable to move. Several pints, adrenaline pumping then song your guts out for 90mins.

Better then sex imo.

[Hanuman]

wrong people getting in the stands, most people going can afford, most hardcore fans with be the ones givingthe pubs the atmosphere saturday afternoons, either unable to afford or make the listto go to the games (generally the big prem clubs)

last few months watched a few games on sky and during hte game its dead, liverpool chelsea couldnt hear a thing at stamford the other week it sounded like a training game its crap

maybe people are feeling blue when they realised how much its cost to get to sit in the seat and realise what they are watching is poor

[Hanuman]

agreed worst thing EVER is nob heads leaving early when the team loses, its so childish like we pay money we demand you win.

[Clouds_mate]

I wouldn't go that fair mate, but it is such a rush!

Is to me, nothing i would rather do in life, be half cut at a football game.

Best buzz in the world.

i can get tickets for a good few games a season, its not them thats the problem, its affording a trip to manchester every weekend.

[Scattle]

Agreed, away games are great, been to a few at cardiff, community shield against arsenal a few years back was good.

There is a weatherspoons pub near the millenium stadium, united fans took it over something else tbh.

[Clouds_mate]

Wish we could.


Chelsea.

A member to get home tickets. still not 100% able to get them

An Away member to get away tickets. Still not 100% able to get them.

Only games i get to are the big games, cup semi and finals or sheilds. As i know people in the FA who can source me tickets.



Me and my dad enquired about a season ticket for this season 07/08. They said we needed to be a memeber for 2 years and got so many points from going to home games.....

fucking bollocks imo. Rather just sit and smash a pub up instead now jokes

lol. its the bigger games i cant get tickets for. would seriously consider moving to manchester if i got a season ticket.

[AdamW]

Me and my mates were down in Cardiff when Liverpool played Man Utd in cup final or summit.....Cardiff fans were waiting outside stadium for them.....mad as fuck tbh

[Scattle]

At united now, with the arrivals of Glazer, they introduced the "cup" scheme, basically in the season ticket you get 19 home tickets included in the price for prem games. But if you can't make any of the home cup games, e.g. Champs league, carling, fa cup you will still be charged which is a load of bollocks, meaning this year 6000 season tickets were not renewed at united.

Glazers need to be rid off.

In 2/3 years season tickets have gone up by 44%!! in 2004 i was paying 450ish, now there 700ish.

[AntDoGG]

I went to Leeds Vs Oldham on New Years Day..and the atmosphere was terrible, but the attendance was something like 25,000..but it felt as if only oldham fans had turned up.

[Jacko]

Me and my mates were down in Cardiff when Liverpool played Man Utd in cup final or summit.....Cardiff fans were waiting outside stadium for them.....mad as fuck tbh

for both sets of fans? surely united+pool fans would have tore them apart and then half murdered each other?

[Clouds_mate]

Man utd are cunts.

Remember when i went to the box? Well my mate who owned that wanted 4 season tickets instead of the box. They said he would have to go on a waiting list.

He had just spent 40k alone for the box for 9 months. Not including the drinks he used to spend every week for 6 people.

best part of 50k at least and they wanted him to wait for a season ticket? hahah please.

[Jacko]

readily available? how much?

[AdamW]

Hahaha Man Utd season ticket is like 1k plus.....

Villa £350.....

[Peejous]

that's awful, considering theres 5,000 at least still for sale...:n:

they cant have the entire ground as season ticket holders only though because they need to keep some tickets avaliable for those cockneys Man-ure fans.

[Scattle]

readily available? how much?

Well that was at the start of this season, and currently there being bourght individually every match by members...
I'll find out.

[Clouds_mate]

Dont worry he got some in the end, hes a powerful guy lol

[Scattle]

Top one is 750ish;) still not bad compared to arsenal.

[Jacko]

Dont worry he got some in the end, hes a powerful guy lol

[Clouds_mate]

He pwns.

[E1999G]

My uncle pays £2k for two season tickets at spurs

[Clouds_mate]

My uncle pays £2k for two season tickets at spurs

Yeh was going to say that.

IIRC Spurs have the most expensive season ticket in England followed by Chelsea and ARSEnal.

[AdamW]

Spurs bore me....

Mighty Villa destroyed them in the week.....I was singing from my sick bed tbh....

[Jacko]

its my mrs, sisters partner.

He pwns.

what does he do? and how does he do it?

[E1999G]

I you could be bothered to work it out you go save money but spurs tickets are over priced. I had tickets for spurs vs sevilla and they were £71 lucky i did have to pay for them

[Scattle]

Wacko ring up the club, 08704421994.
Just a few weeks ago the website said they were still selling them.

[Clouds_mate]

what does he do? and how does he do it?

Cant really say but he now works in property he also has spends about half the year out in Dubai with his brother (they are a couple of companys out there)

[laura_g]

its only like £19 for me when i go watch the villa consesation (sp) ftw

[AdamW]

its only like £19 for me when i go watch the villa consesation (sp) ftw

Where do you sit when you go to watch Villa Laura?

[E1999G]

its only like £19 for me when i go watch the villa consesation (sp) ftw

It was UFEA cup quater final tho but still £71. Spurs have different prices for different teams which i rubbish cos you will have to pay more to watch them lose against man u etc and less to watch them win against low teams. They all pay in the same league should be the same

[laura_g]

holte end usually

[Scattle]

Same with West ham iirc, top dollar at WH is 60ish. Top single ticket price at united is £44.

[Peejous]

holte end usually

"you'll get it you'll get foot and mouth, you'll get it you'll get foot and mouth, just like the SCUM standing in the Holte End, you'll get foot and mouth, YOU'LL GET IT!"

and repeat.

[Jacko]

sounds liek the kind of guy that carrys few grand in his coat as pocket change.

[Peejous]

does he pay for everything with 20's and tell them to keep the change because it weighs down his pockets?

[laura_g]

"you'll get it you'll get foot and mouth, you'll get it you'll get foot and mouth, just like the SCUM standing in the Holte End, you'll get foot and mouth, YOU'LL GET IT!"

and repeat.

My old man said be a city fan
I said b*llocks you're a c*nt
We hate the blues and we're gonna show it
We hate the blues and we f*cking know it
With Spinksy and Birchy Alan Mcinally there the boys That's gonna do us fine
Cos if you support the blues you're a bluenose bastard and you aint no friend of mine.

[AdamW]

Some say that St Andrews is a wonderful place
To the boys from Villa park it's a fucking disgrace
They say they've got showers but we know the truth,
there's a hole in the roof where the rain pisses through
Sing up, we hate oh we hate the city, we hate the city, we do,
Oh we hate, oh we hate the city and we love it when them bastards lose.

why do you actually want to be known a a blue nose by the way

why not? jus cos you play football in pink

thats how it should be mate, why should he have priority over anyone else wanting to get a season ticket, just because he can afford to pay for a box doesnt mean he should be able to jump the que

[laura_g]

why not? jus cos you play football in pink

erm its actually claret :homme:

[Clouds_mate]

thats how it should be mate, why should he have priority over anyone else wanting to get a season ticket, just because he can afford to pay for a box doesnt mean he should be able to jump the que

part of taken owner hip of the box was he would be guaranteed upto 6 (as thats how many the boxes hold) season tickets the following year.

[Jacko]

can you only rent a box per season?

[Hanuman]

not sure how it works,

so does that mean he bought a box that holds 6people, and was told these 6 people would be able to get season tickets to stay in the box nextyear? or does it mean that because he buys a box hes allowed to get 6 season tickets for in the stands next year as a bonus/benefit kind of thing?

[Clouds_mate]

You buy the boxs season to season.

When he got his box. He was told, either way, if he keeps the box or not he was entitled to 6 season tickets at normal price without a waiting list.

That shouldnt be the case IMO. you should be 'able to jump the Que' the treatment you get from the boxing service is second to none. He was getting taken out on meals all the time end of the season was they tried to butter him up for another years worth of box.

Im sure the club has a certain amount of tickets allocated to things like this. Your telling me, David Beckham would have to wait 3 year to get a season ticket? Nahhh they would just give him the priority.

When your dealing with high end cilents in bussiness, as he was to utd. they should give out a little bit of priority, after all thats how a bussiness works. I understand what your saying and agree to a point, but thats just how it doesnt work.

Why would they (if he doesnt renew) just kick him outa the box? and not offer him a season ticket. hes never going to buy a box back then in the future is he if they treat him like that. Its not like most of the other boxes there ran by companys to sweeten cilents. He went with 6 boys all die hard utd fans. so his interest was very high in the game, not like other people who just go to rinse the wicked services they supply.

ITFC season ticket ftw!!

unbeaten at home. can't win away :y:

Ive been to millwall twice and i didin think it was intimidating at all like people told me it would be. There wasnt much atmosphere but i think there isnt much atmosphere at most grounds in the country. When i started goin Turf moor (Burnley) the atmosphere was always amazing it would make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up, but now it is as flat as a pancake. I blame the introduction of all seated stadium BRING BACK THE TERRACES

[Scattle]

Agree there mate^^^, still the big games at big stadiums e.g united v liverpool/city and arsenal still are bloody excellent.

[JohnPartridge]

Well I Support Torquay United (Blue Square Premier/Soon to be promoted back to where we belong in the football league) :) their is always an amazing atmosphere at those games :) Cant beat Lower League Football!

TORQUAY TILL I DIE!

[claret-vtr]

Derby games are better but not the best. When Burnley played Preston a couple of weeks ago there was a bit more of an atmosphere than normal but it wasnt brilliant but when we play Blackburn thats a different story. Hopefully we will make some noise this sunday against Arsenal BBC 1 2oclock dont miss it.
