They were more subdued 2nd half with bouncing up and down. I'm never particularly impressed by some dope with a megaphone organising what you should be singing next. All very contrived.

It’s just a different fan culture but as others have said just doing organised singing and dancing routines is a bit K pop for my liking. I like the slightly more ebb and flow of the English way as it tends to reflect what’s happening on the pitch a bit a more.

I know everyone hates them but the atmosphere at Newcastle the other night was amazing, and it felt pretty natural too. No idea how you go about replicating something like that but still have it be natural.

I would guess that Villa Park would be jumping if/when we're beating PSG 4-1

Agreed. I'll take some criticism of the atmosphere being a bit flat over some nobhead telling me what I should be doing every minute of the game. God forbid drums are involved too.

The criteria are consecutive. The 1387 includes the 576 in the top bracket so there will be 811 people maximum going for 409 tickets. Considering the events there last night and with West Ham, I imagine many won't be too keen on it and that anyone in the second bracket will be fine as long as they are quick.
As we sold all 1700 for Warsaw to STHs the numbers don’t make sense, unless 300 didn’t turn up.

Worrying that the first category is over subscribed for the allocation. Fingers on the buzzer at 5pm Monday!
It's unlikely to be the same 950 people who did both.

The atmosphere was good before the game, before they scored, before they scored a 2nd etc. etc.

Similar to when we twatted them last season then. It's not that surprising that the atmosphere fell a bit flat after a first half when we laboured against a team everyone was expecting us to beat. Yes both matches were European fixtures but they're not really comparable beyond that.

I'm not comparing them, really. It was part of a conversation about a flat atmosphere vs scripted ultra chanting. The atmosphere at Newcastle was good from the start and it spurred the team on early which led to goals which spurred the fans on even more. And it all felt very natural. Obviously it's just a bit more exciting to be playing PSG in your first home champions league game for 20 years than it is to be playing Zrinjski in the Europa conference. But the Newcastle crowd just seems to  be naturally very good at creating an atmosphere.

Correct. They didn’t turn up. Approximately 200+ tickets were bought but the travel forms were never returned, so those fans had no intention of going. Just another notch on their history. There were plenty of empty seats in our end. Six in our row alone.
