Atmosphere.

[Napper]

The air doesnt have to be filled with hate but it helps

For atmosphere. That is what the thread is about, that is what the thread title is.

He said "The more hostile, darker, hate-filled the better. Palace away in 2005 midweek was the b0llox...."

And you said he was clueless. Why?

Yeah the atmosphere was cracking, as well as all the other bits that made that day a good one!

i just support my team. couln't care less how other people see us tho would like it to be nice.

Hate is just pointless. Everyone is just a football fan. If you hate them, they will hate you , back, and why would you want that .

well Selhurst was no fun during the 5-0 stuffing in 2002

Or after the game in 85, the one when Gerry Ryan had his leg broken...that was nasty, as was the collection of coins sent in our direction at half-time.

Indeed - i was talking about the "good one" away when McShane scored midweek!! One of the best away games i can remember.... i remember Thorton Heath heaving from about 1pm

Hostile any day of the week. When everyone is revved up and there's bit of edge inside and outside the ground, as if something could happen at any moment is a buzz.

Disagree. Go to Boca or Galatasaray and tell me that isn't an electric atmosphere. To play in that kind of environment must be incredible, and it must effect you as an opposition player. And if the opposition are scared, brilliant.

It doesn't have to carry on once the game is over and outside the stadium, but a cauldron of hate inside the stadium is brilliant. Welcome to Hell.

Gonna be out from midday for the palace.

proper shant that day.

Will you be in the disabled area in the south east corner ?

Agreed. That was unpleasant, their scum poured down those stairs chucking coins indiscriminantly at us. And remember the fights in the top of the Arthur Waite.

As i said football is way too 'fluffy' these days.

Years ago every game was full of tension and the thought anything could happen at any time, these days its just the odd game (palace, west ham, millwall away etc) where u still get some of this.

Probably with the amount of gurning and dribbling i'll be doing.

We owe them for 2005.

Hate in sport is pathetic. You need other teams to play against after all. If the other teams and their fans didn't turn up it would be a pretty rubbish afternoon out.

Banter, rivalry, excitement, anticipation, celebration - that's the atmosphere I love. And a pie and pint.
