What is the current obsession with atmosphere?  As if Old Trafford and Anfield and any other ground aren’t deathly quiet plenty of times during a season.
The thing is it was so good in the last season in the Championship and first season back up, it's easy to contrast that to how it is now.  The difference is huge and it's natural for people to want that atmosphere back because it was fucking brilliant.

It's because for the first time in yonks we were resurgant and had genuine target we were striving for, on the one hand an unlikely promotion, then a battle against the odds to survive and not waste what had gone before.

It will come back on it's own, spontaneously, like it always does when that happens again. Next season, if we start well and look like were really at it, the place will be rocking again.

Whenever I've watched Arsenal at home this season it's been raucous, bloody Arsenal, the byword word quiet home fans. But they're 'back' from the relative wilderness in their terms, and that's what happens.

If we're still in with a shout of qualifying for Europe come May, the atmosphere at our last couple of home games will be louder than anywhere in the league this season.

Exactly. With a fucking drum there, it would kill it stone fucking dead.

I wish they wouldn't play songs at the final whistle either.  Let the fans show support with songs we choose.

You're right, I'm just wary of tempting fate by saying it.

This would be ace, make it happen! Preferably with more drums and trumpets, and right next to Lee.

The guy on the Holy Trinity podcast was saying that the loss of atmosphere was attributable to the increase in ticket prices. Whilst I understand this line of argument, he hasn’t ever been to VP, so isn’t really in a position to judge whether or not the atmosphere is any better or worse. I also don’t think it’s as simple as saying that people who can afford higher ticket prices make less noise. Is it children and OAPs for example who initiate all the chants? I do think that people in corporate hospitality make less noise. I suppose this would be a risk when general admission tickets become corporate hospitality.

A lot of people on social meeja seem to have a lot to say about what proper supporters should do.

Sod free scarves etc, what would be ace is if the club put a free tambourine on every seat before a home game. What an atmosphere that would be!

If anyone suggests 'clappers' then I'm coming out swinging.  And no, not in a car keys in the bowl way.

The flags as well, absolute shite. An weird hollow swishing sound as thousands of grown adults stand there gurning away like a bunch of 8 year olds at a Jubilee party.

Oooh, alternate seats having tambourines, clappers or flags. All 3 on the go at once would be amazing.
