Sounded like a library for the most part today from the coverage on TV. Was it that bad and if so why ? Just watching the Stoke game and the atmosphere is superb.

Was very poor but maybe that's what you get when the opposition only bring about 1500 and we can't get an effort on target.

Shat today

Used to get a good atmosphere on the Turf regardless of the number of away fans, shame it's got ****

Think it was the type of play, very scruffy, bitty, niggly. Lots of stoppages, time wasting that didn't help. Crowd can't get into any rhythm as well as the team

It was a definite decline of singers in JHU, not sure if some have moved in to th CFS

i thought it was ok ! seemed pretty good to me .

Very flat on and off today.

More on Mars.

Then you thought wrong.

It doesn't help when the best the CFS can muster is that annoying song about Steven Defour and someone, apparently, not understanding who he is.

I suspect a lot of lads in the Cricketfield Stand are still a bit shaken from the going over they got off the Germans

First time in the cricketfield as it was good.. standing and plenty of singing.. wba were a good laugh too.. problem is it doesn't filter around the ground

you probably need to turn the volume up on your radio, I was there and it was fine

I was there too, and it was flat.

So they let you out for the weekend then?

Game wasn't available here on normal TV. What I saw on the highlights was a number of empty seats. What? You lot not fans of watching Tony Pulis park the bus? Or maybe you've seen too much of it already, like an old re-run.

who's they? and from where are you referring I was let out from.

A poor away following doesn't help. It appears that seven years of being in the Prem has grown a little stale for WBA fans. Either that, or the quality of football Pulis is serving up is keeping them away. I couldn't bear to watch that excuse for football week in, week out; it appears that loads of them can't too.

Watched it on TV and the crowd got behind them when they had a decent spell, albeit not for very long.

Dyche vs Pulis, the only time I moved to the edge of my seat is when I got up to go for a slash.

Not sure what people expect. Fans need something to get behind, a game that poor is hardly likely to have a rip-roaring atmosphere is it?

Same as normal Cricket field stand sing songs and then dies out. The rest of the ground join in after we have scored. We didn't so they kept quiet.

Seemed quiet until the sending off. Then again that doesnt surprise me given how dour most of the game was up to that point.

Rubbish today in the CFS,lots of spare seats as well.

Was pretty flat even in the cfs where I stand but understandable with the game being a yawn fest for 80% of the time.

I know that I'm in the minority but I enjoyed today's game.

Maybe because it was our first home game and you where just a bit giddy,,,I thought it was an horrendous game.

Atmosphere was pretty p1ss poor TBH,Cricketfield,after their obligatory opening 10 mins died its usual death and (again as usual) nothing much for the rest of the match bar the awful Defour song.

The JHU and JHL (3-5ish) do make a token effort but quite simple the CFS has diluted the ground atmosphere considerably .How long we had the ripple and crescendo going down the JH?

I was just watching on a stream online So I can't comment on atmosphere much (though it did seem a bit quiet). I guess I just enjoyed us seeing more of the ball, creating chances etc.

Wile E Coyote wrote:who's they? and from where are you referring I was let out from.

I'll have to look up what we're supposed to call them nowadays.

Loony bin is a bit passe and Un PC.

You need to be at a game to sample atmosphere. Impossible to really know what it was like from a TV screen.

Christ if all the miserable ba5tards on here got tickets in the CFS and put as much energy into singing I'm sure it would be a brilliant atmosphere.

The streams I watch,it looks like they are actually playing without a ball so I suppose it was quite good seeing the ball

No Russ Abbott.

Was good in the CFS, but the problem with TM is it's very cut off from the rest of the ground

I think there were quite a few on today who thought we just had to turn up to beat WBA.

That won't happen against any team in this division.

Thought it was crap in cfs. Particularly embarrassing singing youre effing sh1t to wba at nil nil. A team and manager we never beat too. Obviously they were going to score shortly after.

Tv usually pics up the atmosphere well at the Turf. Other than the odd occasion it seemed very quiet

Makes it worse that you lose points for atmosohere this season as well. Could be down by October unless we all sing.

Seemed to be a lot more "new" people in the CFS who wanted an atmosphere without actually joining in .

Very flat today.

They'd only gone in there to hear from you who our next signing was going to be.

We really need to improve the home support; away it's fantastic but at home leaves a lot to be desired....

Not a lot to shout about today tbh. West brom were in our faces from the first whistle.just stopping any flowing football we produced.the game really didn't get going. It will lift I'm sure.

Decent game poor result.Got told to shut up and watch the game when shouting !!!

Signs tonight - announced Monday

Is Wood the one you were genuinely excited about?

Was that which was mentioned (will have a backlash now saying it wasn't though anyway) .

Still another to come though apparently but waiting on other club to still do some business. (Not as sure on that info though as it can be hit and miss).

Please don't say you're excited about a signing again unless it's a real billy big time. I think everyones sights were set a bit higher than Chris Wood off your post.

Even though you're entitled to be excited by it haha.

Match status/opposition can make a big difference though.
v Arsenal everyone is pumped cos it's a big match. WBA hardly get the pulse racing.

I thought the Burnley fans were hopeless in our support yesterday. No big chants or singing at the outset, to intimidate the opposition and the Longside was a church for most of the match. This is second season syndrome, when the crowd just expect instead of giving everything to support those we know need every bit of help and support, to keep them going.

better wake up or it will all turn nasty!

Apologies to Vegas as I did not see this thread, although I scanned down the page. Posted one of my own, which I reproduce here. The other can be ignored.

Crowd score 5 (being generous)

To be fair I was in Townley yesterday and I thought the atmosphere was quite buoyant. Seemed loud enough.

My wife did comment though that we only sing 3 songs.
