I've been to most away games this season and have to say that the away support at Huddersfield and last night at Wembley were particularly quiet
On the whole it's good but I'm constantly surrounded by people not singing at away games, SING up or don't come you morons!

We could create a better atmosphere by rushing a fire exit, injuring a few stewards and setting off flares and fireworks throughout the game, whilst all wearing black and covering our faces.
I’ve also noticed at Away games this season there are far more small kids attending than ever before and there are a lot of faces I’ve never seen before at Away games
Kids are alright but parent's, please don't stare at me when I swear, it's a football match and I'll f***ing swear whether your little brat is there or not, don't like it, don't bring them.I’ve also noticed at Away games this season there are far more small kids attending than ever before and there are a lot of faces I’ve never seen before at Away games
Having been to all of them I'll try an away fans performance rating:
Leicester - 6/10 - not helped by the early goal
Watford - 8.5/10 - excellent, right behind the goal, low roof, in the game due to the sending off
Bournemouth - 7/10 - good for 75 mins
Arsenal - 7/10 - good but gets lost in a big stadium, performance was OK
West Ham 8/10 - only thing which stops this being higher is the mammoth gap between the two sets of away fans
Swansea 8.5/10 - Great result, ok performance, but a close exciting game. Scenes at the final whistle
Man. Utd - 9/10 - brilliant, helped by a good team performance, and a low(ish) roof to keep the atmosphere in, away fans aren't spread too far wide apart
Huddersfield 4/10 - Brilliant home fans, useless away performance, drum and some first time away gamers
Spurs 5/10 - away end is massive and playing in a half empty stadium with no attacking threat
Conclusion: What you need is a close game, behind the goal, attacking options and some excitement in a full stadium.
Bournemouth League Cup game?
20 of us in the club area bumbed into couple of friends on the concourse before the game started and some more clapping brighton subs and when I was leaving a Brighton Fan in the middle of a load of Spurs fans starting singing 2 nil down who gives a Fxxk we are staying up I gave him a cheer. It was a shame they did not give Brighton about 5-7000 would have helped with the atmosphere.Last night put Tottenham in a very bad light on several counts. 46,000? Seriously? I was sitting there last night looking at all the empty seats, and that after all the seats covered and not available, and wondering how on earth you can justify denying away fans the chance to attend. 3,000 out of a capacity of 90,000 when you get 46,000 is a complete joke. And I strongly suspect a good few of those 'home' fans were (like me) quietly supporting Brighton.
Away section was the only full and noisy section yesterday. Atmosphere in rest of ground nowhere near as good as our home games currently.
Because there are about 3 times as many going on average ??
We only averaged about 1,700 at Away games last season, so that makes another 1,300 appearing from somewhere?
ok, "day-trippers" may be the wrong phrase. not knocking anyone who has built such incredible loyalty points to be able to attend. my point is the away crowd for the big glamour games seem more like home fans, sing a bit, watch a bit. Whereas bha away following is usually sing a lot, and then a lot more! The games against teams outside the top6 will always come with more belief of a pleasing result.
the home fans though during some of our away games just seem a bit flat. doesn't take away the brilliant experience of going to the games to follow our team.
Acoustics at wembley were incredibly poor though.
We are blessed with the amex.
Atmosphere last night was awful.........but as above the acoustics or whatever just didn't work. Stadium is too big. Our away support has been pretty good most of the time I reckon - Swansea, West Ham, Man U, Leicester at least were all noisy.
The stadium was built for for the top matches and we are hardly in that group
It had absolutely nothing to do with the acoustics which were far worse at the Olympic stadium for example. We were just shit.
Wembley has been silent the entire season, ask any spurs fan. Nothing to do with the stature of opposition.
