[Albion] Atmosphere for the run in - starting with Huddersfield Saturday

[Bold Seagull]

I get the tongue in cheek nature of this response but I really do fear us sleep walking into relegation and a poisonous home atmosphere a la Burnley could be contagious if we don’t nip it in the bud.

Blimey, I don't remember it being poisonous. I think we were furious at the penalty decisions both given and not given, however even though it was massively disappointing, I really couldn't describe it as being poisonous.

What I would say is that if you do a league table from Dec 28th till now, Burnley are 3rd only scoring 1 point less than MU and 3 points less than City. They've scored 3 more points than Spurs. 4 more points than Liverpool over the last 8 games.

They are without a shadow of a doubt the inform side outside of the Manchester clubs. Perspective for any fan that did turn on the team.

The atmosphere will be crap - too much nervous tension - unless we at least create several chances and score. Gawd help us if Hudds score first.

Crank them up BARBER..

Probably depends on where you sit. I’m WSU block D and there were 3 separate spats from anti/pro CH brigade and some general slagging off of the team or subs. Got quite heated.

What bothered me more was the apathy of so many people, half of us trying to rouse people into displaying some emotion and they basically sat there on their hands! So frustrating.

CH and the players always set the tone.

Start off as they did against Burnley, and it will be tense, quiet-ish.

What we need is a daft ref that will get the crowd stirred up

Is it celebrity ref Mike Dean

We should also start Knockaert given how good he is against Championship teams

No 1901 pyro, no party.

I'm E1B next to the North stand. Didn't seem as bad as you're describing. I've always thought it was a funny lot that sit in the West Upper.

Exactly..........we need the team to go at Hudds a la Sheff Wed in the play off, the atmosphere will then follow.

Time for bog roll and balloons.

What exactly are we allowed to take to the Amex. Genuinely concerned about waving a scarf these days let alone a flag with a stick attached to it. Wouldn’t we all be prosecuted for big rolls or confetti not to mention whether even be allowed to take in I.e. wouldn’t such items be confiscated? It’s a bit annoying given Dortmund fans were allowed to recreate their yellow wall, poles and all, last week at Wembley yet our rules prohibit such items so we’ve no chance of ‘doing a Dortmund’ or even a Dagenham!

Yep. I feel they have misinterpreted anger at the ref with anger towards the players.

I agree, real anger with the officials, when I’ve sat in WSU and NS. But I’ve definitely heard loads of annoyance and more against Locadia in recent PL home matches ... when his decision making or execution is shite.

 

[doogie004]

I'm gonna boooooooo Bong, Stephens, March, Groß & Locadia.

I hope this helps.

Count me in

I'd listen to the soprano over the cringey Ring of Fire any day.

No ring of fire against Derby and we won. Time to drop it.

 

[Gilliver's Travels]

Clackers!!

We need clackers.

I believe several thousand boxes of lucky blue and white clackers (some slightly distressed, remainder totally foxed) are being listed on Ee(bahgum)Bay.

Oh yeah we've all got six fingers and toes and our mothers are also our uncle's sisters etc.

Yes there was of course lots of that going on but like I said three separate incidents of fans calling each other out for conflicting opinions.

I've heard lots of increased frustration against various people not just Locadia and it needs to stop. Im guilty of getting frustrated like anyone but I also know when to just try and stay positive and vocally so as well.

Hear hear. When has it ever helped a team to get on any of their player's backs? Yeah, never.

We have pockets of passionate fans around the stadium but with so many old and middle class fans attending to their children’s hot dog needs, it’s never going to be a cauldron of noise. Especially if we go a goal down and the moaners take over.

This is the rub. Locadia is just a bit shite. People naturally get frustrated with too many poor performances after a while.
