What can we do to have a better atmosphere

[RossingtonBlade]

The atmosphere has been dross all season and we are top of the league, as soon as you start of a chant you get dirty looks like you've got a pig shirt on, start one chant off on Gangway E on Kop, it travels down to G then after 1 go it's over, beyond terrible

 

[Ricky]

Sing more.

Or maybe we'll be one of those clubs who have to advertise on the internet for a drummer.

 

[larkymasher]

Win promotion to the Championship.

People are not singing because the majority are shit scared we balls it up again..... IMO

League 1 Fatigue mate. It's a culmination of six years of tasting defeat at the death rather than victory so that is the main reason the atmosphere is a tad flat.

However, this will all change when it becomes a more than distinct possibility that we ARE about to get promoted as we've dreamed so many times before. Reality will set in and every fan will actually realise that it's truly happening and the Kop will find its voice once more.

The South stand boys will also do likewise and with a few games remaining near the end of the season the buzz and atmosphere will certainly become more electric.

UTB

Wait till we're beating Scunthorpe in a couple of weeks......

 

[Stretch]

In fairness it's been dross for several seasons bar the odd exceptions such as our recent cup games. I think it is improving but will take a promotion and a competitive, battling attempt at consolidation next season to fix it in my opinion. Even then I don't even see it getting back to how it was in the early noughties, for example, never mind how it was in Bassett's time.

 

[SwissBlade]

Adkins killed it

Get rid of them red plastic things

I think the best opportunity to improve it at home short term is the lower tier. You'd like to think the atmosphere will take care of itself in the bigger games but it just won't. We'll all be too 'nervous', bless us.

I'm pretty sure the club will keep the lower tier open and it would be easy enough to arrange moving over there. We've got 2 weeks before the next home game so it would be a good time to start spreading the word.

Failing that at least we've still got away games which are occasionally decent. Although it's even disappointing away from home most of the time.

Topless barstaff.
Topless flag wavers.
Topless Gary Sinclair.
Lesbian mud wrestling at half time.
Norwegian horse porn throughout the game shown on the big screen.

That should sort it.

They should do "Today's Latest Details" on the big screen and show the scores of the teams nearby and the local teams. This would get the crowd going a bit.

Nah. Get that bloke back who used to walk across the front of the pavilion with the wooden numbers under his arm. Much more exciting.

Wooden !
Metal I will have you know, I took one at the last home game when they were getting rid of them.

 

[CarlMcBlade]

Just forget it this season. We should get out of this league with nobody in the ground.
Keep yer powder dry for next season. Where the Pigs, Scabs, Seatsmashers, Sheepshaggers, Dingles, Woofs, 2 sets of Carrot Crunchers and 2 sets of Brummies Not to mention Neil and his Taffy headbangers..... All sat waiting for us.
I'm sure all these will get the Blades juices flowing again.

Dont know if the atmosphere will be any better but I cansee us selling out every week.

 

[west_yorks_blade]

Topless Gary Sinclair would be too much like having Tango at the match.

I'm up for all the other initiatives though.

I'll never forget the day the pigs were 3-0 up against Derby and Derby scored 3 late goals, the 3rd goal on the scoreboard was celebrated like a cup final goal !

And good on you for admitting a love of beastiality

when the pigs had conceded a goal,word used to get round, you would hear the noise building then the scoreboard would flash LATEST SCORES the noise would build up to a rousing cheer when pigs score flashed up or boo's if they put another score up.

Wooooooooooahhhh.... yessss..... Sheffield wedn*sdays f***** it up again !! The scoreboard only showed when they'd conceded if I remember rightly. Do they even show the latest scores anymore during the match? I've not noticed for years.

And I was just hoping the Bladettes would make a comeback!

Some good suggestions there pal - but this Desso pitch doesn't lend itself to lesbian mud wrestling - that's an issue I reckon. We could put the sprinklers on and have a wet t-shirt competition though - Gary Sinclair excluded though?

 

[South Bucks]

Last home match I went to I was also shocked by how quiet things have become but I just don't buy all this denial stuff and its "cos we are nervous we might not go up". Over the decades united have more often than not been in a relegation or promotion scrap each seaosn, and probably always will be, next season probably, so to blame this is tosh. We used to thrive on being the under dog, being in a scrap and making the 12th man count so lets not make weak excuses folks. Disappointing that anyone who points this out is "negative", just tellin the truth. When I see the vocal support other teams of our size get at home its now embarrassing.

A few thoughts

Saga Stand G & H
More often than not when we go away we get a stand behind a goal and most vocal home fans are in side stand up close to our lot to give us sme grief. Make G & H unallocated seating and allow our lot to do the same. A similar unallocated zone on the kop maybe.

Age Demographic
Maybe I'm wrong but when I look around BDTBL I see lots of good people that have been gooing for donkeys years and the average fan's age creeping up. As someone else pointed out recently, those fans that were vocal in the 70's and 80's might not be able to do the same these days for 90 minutes so the club maybe should try harder to bring in more youngsters to fill the ground. Sell a few thousand to youngsters for peanuts before each game but not via the cumbersome club ticket office but by things they use like e-bay.

Bramall Lane Upper Tier
Should be for utd fans for all matches where the opposition can't sell out the lower tier, let the away fans have the poorest view. Get utd fans on 4 sides of the ground again.

Away Support
I used to love the atmosphere at BDTBL but now prefer the atmosphere when we go away, much better, and we are the ones who make it that way, its our choice and not something somehow outside of our control and inevitable.
