last season liverpool at home a woman turned around to us and said 'be quiet its only a game of football'.....fucking disgrace
Im a Liverpool fan, and I have a lot of respect for Uniteds hardcore element, they are some of the best fans in the country. Without doubt united and Liverpool are the 2 biggest supported teams, and our fans could drive a protest forward. Lets get standing sections introduced and get our atmospheres back! Respect from LFC ... Northerners should stick together despite our differences.
Been to a few games this season in both scoreboard and Stretford end, actually got a good atmosphere going in the scoreboard, stood up the whole time, singing etc. And have been in good atmospheres in Stretford end right side. However, recently sat Stretford top tier for the first time in a league game against Bournemouth, the area I was in was just filled with grumpy season ticket holders, the bloke next to me turned up 5 minutes late, left 15 minutes early, didn't sing any songs, and was angled away from the pitch in order to chat to the other grumpy season ticket holders, absolute dead wood. Made me feel like I couldn't sing, even though it was only Bournemouth, I can't help but feeling people like this should make way for younger lads and go and sit in one of the quieter seated stands, Stretford end should all be made standing, less families and more young people, less grumpy old season ticket holders just there to chat
All stadiums have no atmosphere this happened when the grounds became all seater I'll stick to my memories of the 70's and 80's
It doesn't take a lot to get an atmosphere going, all you need is like 10-20 guys to start chanting, and keep them going for 90 minutes, gradually more people will get involved, then you can bring flags and drums etc, instead of waiting for someone else to do it, go and do it yourselves, you don't need the club's permission to sing, just do it..
Top video, Darren n co - we've RT'd + given it a like so hopefully many of our subscribers will come here and watch. Loved the views of fans who've done it for decades
Great work!
Borussia Dortmund have a section in there stadium called the 'yellow wall' where every fans are dressed in the teams colour, non stop singing/chanting, massive flags and banners, flares, synchronized jumping etc. All this creates a unique and monstrous atmosphere in the stadium which shows how much the club means to them. If the Stretford End was like this MUFC would have the loudest and most passionate fans not only in Europe but in the world but right now, Old Trafford is just a library.
Top top documentary. Quality work. Hopefully, sometime in the near future, the Stretford End will be re-united with its standing areas in the form of Safe Standing and then from there on, as fans, we can reclaim its former beauty together. Something that will never be achieved while there's thousands of red seats there! One day, Red Army!
Used to get the match bus from Langley every other Saturday and pay three quid to get in the Stretford End fucking great times!!
I think the problem is the exclusivity of getting a season ticket, I tried to get one but failed for a couple of years and now its not possible due to other commitments, they need to make a system of getting young kids to all get season tickets together for a cheaper price, somewhere like the Stretford End tier 1 or next to the singing section so, as Pete said, they can "aspire" to get in the singing section or into Stretty tier 2 and they can move together. This way the supporters can have a sense of belonging where they sit instead of just being with a load of strangers.
Absolutely brilliant! Hopefully progress will continue to reclaim a solution for a great atmosphere..
Start supporting FC United.
At Elland Rd we have achieved a singing end in the South Stand ( which is the opposite of the traditional singing Gelderd End ) but it look several years of problems with the Stewards ,Police ,Club and safety officers opposing it culminating in a ban on ticket sales in the end after a major altercation with fans Police and Stewards . Its now been unofficially accepted that its a standing and singing end and the tensions have gone. Its avoided by families and older people and the younger lads now buy their season tickets for that end . Our problem now lies away from home as we have away season ticket holders who are mainly alcoholic over 55s who stand there with their hangovers already kicking in from a 4 hr pre match drinking session with their arms crossed and unless there is huge allocation the singing types cant get a ticket . Your comment about Acoustics at OT is very relevant . At ER the South stand roof slopes down towards the pitch while the Gelderd End one slopes upwards so the sound is less channeled in the latter . Also 2 tier stands with the top one overlapping the bottom one makes it very hard to coordinate the singing between the top and bottom section who can't see each other. Thats why Spurs deliberately designed their new ground with a proper big one tier end .
Brilliant video and some great points made.
Good call. We should take a leaf from the book of the homeland of our club's owners - the NBA teams have cameras going around the crowd and then hand out prizes for the most enthusiastic fan. Great attitude
Slightly different situation at the London stadium, it’s not that the hard core local lads are being replaced by tourists (no tourist would wanna come and see our shite team), but it’s the stadium itself. Corporate soulless bowl completely unfit for football but it keeps the money rolling in. Nothing us fans can do I’m afraid, the game has moved on and we can complain all we like, but we are mere customers to the business that is (it was) once our beloved football team
I was going to write a long comment because this is a subject that hits home hard with me but I've said it all before on various You Tube videos and it all boils to one fact - football is NOTHING without atmosphere. All seater stadia certainly started the ball rolling but modern society and the people it has spawned mean we'll never get the glory days of the 70's and 80's back whether people are sat down or not.
Definitely. All these ideas put together will create a fantastic atmosphere.
Brilliant video.
