Yes and no… atmosphere is infinitely better under RDZ, compared to GP, as his football is far more exciting - which the crowd.. & especially those less inclined to sing for 90mins… respond to..
The choice of playing style / manager of course down to the club (Bloom)
You mean….. what happens on the pitch actually matters?
totally agree!

Absolute rot. There is no problem with atmosphere provided the match provides a decent level of opposition ie Newcastle (sorry Luton) and we play well. Engineered atmosphere, no thanks, I love the organic nature of our crowd, unlike the rubbish at smaller teams like crystal palace who sound dreary, boring and repetitive.
Hate the term organic - but that's how a great atmosphere is generated. Thought it was great against Newcastle. Same against West ham until we were sucker punched for the second and third time.

Noddy little clubs like Palace had zero atmosphere, nothing. They had to create one, a false one like everything else about that club. Colours, nickname, badge, history etc. Pathetic from top to bottom.

To be fair they have relaxed and seem to be letting everyone stand in the North this season so it basically is all standing.
No idea why it took them so long. Pathetic approach for the first 5 years, slightly better for the next 5. Here's hoping they've finally realised
Perhaps PROBEs head is finally emerging from his arse on such matters

Atmosphere is down to the fans not the club or PB!
Atmosphere affected by the pathetic approach to the hard-core fan base by him/others. So desperate for new fans that spend over a certain amount and do exactly what they're told when they're told.

Maybe he's beggining to learn, adapt and accept that perhaps he's not always right. It's a development that all humans go through, most do so earlier but....

Good for him - didnt particularly like him when he was playing, not sure why. He's a decent guy though, so much to deal with in his life and comes across really well - shit experiences develop rather than break people sometimes I guess. Looking forward to seeing how his son develops with us

North Stand should be for the young at heart. The loud ones. The ones where football is camaraderie and belonging and having a great day out. You’re a fan not a customer. It should be the stand where no corporatism exists. It should be about right of passage for any creed, colour or sexuality. It’s a place where the kids in the family stand aspire to be, especially the ones just reaching puberty. It should look like it’s a real laugh and VERY different to any other part of the ground both in look and feel. Needs to be self-policing to root out dickheads. Quite a f***ing brief!

The self-policing is bound to go well!

I think the theme days at the beginning of the Amex era were a rip roaring success. I definitely think further days require further thought, Vicars & tarts would be tremendous fun and also tackling the issues of our times such as a cultural appropriation and climate change day.

Don’t get me started on cultural appropriation ! Adults should be able to wear whatever hairstyle they like or dress in any way they like without fear of being ‘ told off ‘
