RUL Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Anyone been to a game before? Was down at Newcastle V Everton, cracking city but what a shit game/atmosphere. Was expecting the place to be bouncing but silence mostly, found more fans standing in the concourse drinking beer than anywhere else Link to comment

Rossshepherd Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I used to like Sunderland, seen them a few times in the Championship under Roy Keane with games against Derby and QPR, place was bouncing for them 2 games. Then went to Sunderland vs Manchester United a few seasons ago when It was 1-0 United and It was much more quiet. Link to comment
fatshaft Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Been to many ground sin my days in Guffland. No doubt the fare on offer is over-rated, and the atmosphere generally Pittodrie-like in most cases. Major exception would be St Andrews, in fact the Brum fans home and away are the best in the league imo. Link to comment
OddJob Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Was at the Riverside in 2006 for Boro v.s Everton, just days after they got into the UEFA Cup final and the atmosphere was shite. Massive disappointment of a game. Everton won 1-0 in the last minute through Faddy, good goal like. Link to comment
ScottishJohn Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Was at Sunderland v Stoke last season. Good atmosphere and a 2-0 home win. Link to comment

Only other EPL game I can recall being at live was Everton 1 Man City 2, Jagielka suffered his horror injury that day but again the atmosphere was shite. I wouldn't even say it was just the atmosphere yesterday but the actual football, awful. Link to comment

zander Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Never been to a EPL game was at a mid week MK Dons vs Charlton game last season, decent enough Atmosphere for a big ground a 1/4 full. Link to comment
Old Wing Stand Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Was at the Wolves v Man City Carling cup game a couple weeks ago good to get a pint at the game, astmosphere nothing special though the 3000 City fans made a bit of noise. Link to comment
OneBeboMaguire Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Witnessed Dean Ashton's last ever goal before he retired against United at Old Trafford, 3-1 United. Also seen United beat Blackburn 2-0 couple years back. Not bad, good weekend of it. Atmosphere at the West Ham game was alright, non existent against Rovers Link to comment
DD1903 Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Been to a couple...chelsea v bolton (free tickets) which was the last game of the season where they had to win and man u get beaten I think. Also, newcastle stoke last year, i think. Again, shit atmosphere - stoke few hundred fans out sung the newcastle fans. Pretty shit football as well Link to comment
vanderark14 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Anyone been to a game before? Was down at Newcastle V Everton, cracking city but what a shit game/atmosphere. Was expecting the place to be bouncing but silence mostly, found more fans standing in the concourse drinking beer than anywhere else been to a merseyside Derby at anfield last season and went to a Bolton v Wigan game at the reebok the season before. both decent games and obviously the one at anfield was a good atmosphere. The reebok was ok as the home side won 4-0 but it wasn't great and for most of the match it was silent. Link to comment
Stoney Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Used to be a regular in my teens but not been down quite as much lately Went to newcastle v wolves last year was my fourth time at st james all have been pretty good. Went to see leeds once there fans were outstanding, best i have heard Bolton was a good day out, went through on a tuesday when united were playing on a weds - nice wee ground Sunderland was poor and in the middle of nowhere pretty shite day all round, also went to roker park - mental place Fuck knows how many united games i've been to over the years was doing 1 a month at one point in the early 2000s - enjoyed them all best one had to be when we stopped arsenal doing 50 games unbeaten, the atmosphere was un-real the whole day!

Bluto10 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Football is for the suits these days all over, hence shit atmospheres definitley.dont know why people are so shocked by this.teams in epl chasing the bucks with high ticket prices and corporate sponsers. esp the southern london teams. scottich teams are a bit less corporate but ticket prices are even more shocking. in general i always thought it was the northern europeans who were more fanatical when it came to football - turning up in larger numbers and a bit more partizan and vocal in support.but then that reflects their society as a whole i'd say. i'g guess that germans, dutch and brits tend to drink a bit more on a night out whereas the itlains and spanish might do things a bit differently. but looking at games these days in the uk not many games generate a decent atmosphere, not compared to the olden days. ticket prices dinna help. been to a few games in holland and the atmosphere can be good but nothing to write home about. oompah bands, flags for every seat and the like, some chanting in dutch. load and lively but nowt to get the pulse racing, but then i was a neutral. would like to sample the germans style. see what teh fuss is about.

ScottishJohn Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Sideshow Bob should have been sent off there against Newcastle. Refs favoring the "bigger" teams as always. Link to comment
King Street Loon Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Sideshow Bob should have been sent off there against Newcastle. Refs favoring the "bigger" teams as always.He is a fucking rank defender.Every game I see him he fucks up. Link to comment
OddJob Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Sideshow Bob should have been sent off there against Newcastle. Refs favoring the "bigger" teams as always.That was a fucking horrific decision from the ref, totally bottled it and it was the big turning point in the match Link to comment
super_al Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Been to see both Man Utd and Manchester city a few times. l also went to Liverpool vs Everton. a couple of seasons ago. I have seen the Dale (hence I saw Mcfartdle) and I have seen Stoke City several times. Can't beat the Aberdeen travelling support at ibrox for singing. Link to comment

OddJob Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 How bad was Chris Foy in the Stoke - Spurs game today. Spurs were robbed.He had a stinker of a game. I for one am breathing a sigh of relief cause i have Shawcross in my dream team and he's a very lucky boy to have not given away 2 pens today. Link to comment
