    Have We Got The Worst Atmosphere In The Country

    In general I don't believe our fan base is much different to other clubs. We are charged a fortune to watch the games, asked to turn up on different days and different times, then more often than not dished up rubbish football. I am a believer the supporters should lift the team, like the Palace...

    Have We Got The Worst Atmosphere In The Country

    I have been to Goodison several times, and it's not much different to our own stadium. I started going to Spurs in the early 70s. Anyone who wanted to sing would go in the relevant pens, the Park Lane, then later the shelf. Unfortunately the people interested in singing aren't all sat/stood...

    Have We Got The Worst Atmosphere In The Country

    I went to watch them in 1995, and they had been around a long time before that. In fact, after a little research I found they were around since 1899

    Have We Got The Worst Atmosphere In The Country

    Some interesting points made, and like I said earlier there isn't a single reason our atmosphere is so bad, but it's certainly something the club needs to look into. The demographic is so different to what it used to be. I started going when I was twelve and funded it using the money from my...

    Have We Got The Worst Atmosphere In The Country

    You will find the loud supporters such as Palace tend to chant rather than sing songs. It becomes quite hypnotic

    Have We Got The Worst Atmosphere In The Country

    The girls also wore short skirts and long socks, and that's what I miss the most about them

    Have We Got The Worst Atmosphere In The Country

    I don't think there is a single answer, but the club needs to accept there is a problem, as I am convinced this has something to do with our poor performances at home. Having the majority of the crowd behind the team is meant to offer an advantage, and this isn't happening at the stadium. I...

    Have We Got The Worst Atmosphere In The Country

    Yes, I have been to Liverpool many times and it is pretty quiet. I refuse to accept that it's the players who should lift the team. Go to Crystal Palace and they sing regardless of score or performance. There have been some good comments made. The traditional male twenty something who makes...

    Have We Got The Worst Atmosphere In The Country

    I have been to both the Bournemouth and Villa game this season, as well as many other games since the opening of the new stadium, and the atmosphere has got worse and worse. You can scour YouTube, and supporters of many other clubs say the same thing about our stadium. There is a belief that the...

    Racism in football

    You know as well as I do the first four examples are down to poorly behaved fans, the last one is antisemitism. This thread is about racism in football, and this is the worst example I can remember

    Racism in football

    I am in my late sixties and have never really witnessed any great racism outside of a bit of name calling. Regards the Villa game scenario. If it were a mass of white anti black thugs preventing supporters of a team from Nigeria, do you think the police would have made the same decision. I...

    Racism in football

    So guys, you all claim to hate racism, and believe it or not I am not a fan either. Unfortunately the worst racism I have recently witnessed in this country has just happened. The local police have just banned Maccabe Tel Aviv supporters from attending the game against Villa in case of issues...

    Racism in football

    We don't live in a multicultural country, we live in a country with many mono cultures, there is a big difference.
