No , too many constantly shouting get rid of it, kick it forwards etc to our midget front line of Trossard, Maupay, Connolly. Booing at the end of the game too. Pathetic

First half was really good atmosphere , North Stand singing as one but please those in N1C corner just join in with everyone else instead of signing over other songs .

I don't condone the booing, but surely if you pay your money you're entitled to an opinion.
What's worse ?
Fans leaving on 82 minutes, or those who stay till the end and vent their frustration.

Fans leaving a big premier league game at 1-1 in my opinion. And they are fans, not supporters.

Thought it was better in North then normal. The rest of the ground is a joke. Sat in North for 6 years now and have only heard 1 chant from another stand started.

I go to watch football and support team. applauding good play,goals etc. Not there to chant abuse at oppo,ref or lino.

Bit better than recently in the first half but only a bit. Agree with the comment about the police box lot. You can see them from the WSU ploughing a lone furrow when songs are started anywhere else in the North. They probably think they ARE the atmosphere but, in part at least, they're the problem.

Why ask us - just PM Swansman

He won't be answering for a while.

Big premier League ?? I thought it was relegation struggle today!!

Exactly. Much more crucial than watching us play Liverpool / Man City etc

It's grim oop north
Most home games these days are BORING atmosphere wise.

Away end so far from north stand, no standing allowed, etc etc all just dampens atmosphere.

In europe they bounce all game (with flares) and the places are rocking

Flares are gay.

If you want an improved chance of a decent atmosphere at the Amex, move some of the 'family' section away from the southern end of the east and tolerate standing in that corner and down the side a bit. Claiming to be 'northstander' now just doesn't cut it. If those that wanna engage with the awayers and make noise move there it would be good.

Don't quite get this. The family section of the East Lower is about a block and half at the North end.

I am not sure that a small group 'engaging with the awayers' would help much. The Amex only rocks when the whole ground gets going.

No its further up that that. I had a ST in line with the 'D' of the south penalty area and it was zero tolerance there.

The point I am making is that fans engaging with awayers generate noise. Its not just BHA that say 'is that it?' when leaving up the road. The away fans there cannot hear the AU as they are so far away, hence the 'where's you famous ..' chant.

In our bit of the Lower West we have a few ‘get it in the mixer’ types. They are beside themselves with rage when the ball is not sent immediately forwards and hate the ball being played out from the back. I can’t help thinking that they would be happier watching their local pub team (or Burnley).
