Atmosphere

[TomDavisPonyTail]

I may be thinking out loud, but wouldn't the atmosphere at Clarence Park improve significantly if the 'singing lot' moved to the Coca Cola Stand, where no doubt, a roof makes any amount of noise much louder.

 

I realise that some people prefer to stand behind the goal (inluding myself) but just a suggestion to help make Clarence Park a bit more intimidating. Also we would be closer to the pitch and the away fans when segregated which would spark a bit of rivalry.

 

I also realise that the 'old guard' who usually stand there wouldn't want to move, just as much as the 'younger fans' perhaps wouldn't want to move to the side so thats understandable. It's just any singing done behind the goal, particularly on Tuesday, doesn't make much impact.

 

Anyone have any thoughts on this???

Why not put a cover over the terracing behind both goals, Problem solved

Just the York Road end, Maldini66: screw the opposition <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

 

We had quite a good atmosphere under the Cola Stand against Aldershot last time they game to our place, if I remember rightly.

I was thinking more in the near future such as Saturday and the remaining fixtures of the season. Can't see us improving the ground too much either unfortunately.

Cambridge seemed to make a lot of noise when they were behind there goal, they didnt have any cover?

[Electric ~soul~]

Cover over the terracing could be completed within the week if they wanted to.

The burger van is a little closer to the away end, Bootster! That's why you could hear them.

Yep, won 2-0 with our very own Steve Castle scoring.

Remember the terrific atmosphere as well. Surely we can create that again?

Indeed!

There's rain forecast for Saturday. I wonder what'll happen if all 1,200 (or whatever) City fans decide to crowd under the Cola at the same time.

[Boot CleanerEFM]

Oi Laz, did i say anything to you, no, so why dont u keep your mouth shut ok thanks

[EFM_Costello]

If it rains on saturday I would imagine there will be alot of rather pissed off old people getting wet.

With segregation, changing ends depending on the way we are kicking has been ruled out. I was surprised how few moved round to watch the first half from as close as possible to the goal we were attacking - the terracing past the Coca Cola stand. Perhaps had we been kicking that way in the second half instead, more would have moved round?

[Laz]

Mainly Aldershot fans!

...after wrangling about it with the Council and the nice people of York Road for a couple of years.

[Electric ~soul~]

Wonder if Pinky's making the effort on Saturday?

[Laz]

Bound to be!

 

What about ATFC-Wellard?

[Electric ~soul~]

And the Blazin' Squad!

[Laz]

They'll have all grown up by now!

 

You going?

[GHA EFM]

Nice bunch we are? Says Maldini-take no prisoners, even women and children-66!
