Atmosphere..

They let me in without wearing my gloves

 

It was hardly a pulsating game.. as soon as the red card was given and we scored the 2nd the game was as good as over. Atmosphere is usually much better when either it's a close game or we're losing and pushing for a goal.

 

Listening to the Leicester game on 5 live commentator said it was very quiet and lack of atmosphere, possibly due to late night and hangovers from Old Years night

 

Agree about feeling a bit flat. I was in J block in the Kop, plenty of noise from K block but very quiet around me. Felt a bit self conscious if I started singing! At first I just assumed I was comparing it against the Rochdale atmosphere which was immense. But comments above re killing the game off early & the sending off probably ring true. Got to give it to the accy fans though, considering the numbers & circumstances they kept going all game.

Can’t wait now for the trip to Oakwell. If it’s anything like the atmosphere at the dale match it will be a great trip. Fingers crossed for the result & hopefully better behaviour from the “no pyros no party” brigade.

 

Don't worry the bellends will be out in force at Oakwell. It;s prime for a nobhead fest!

Re: The hangover thing - anyone else much more vocal, shouty and generally much more beligerent and aggressive when hungover?

 

I’d add that the sending off and withdrawal of O’B was a factor. I think we all thought this game was won and with losing O’B the tempo would slow down by quite some margin. A bit of a perfect storm.

 

Was fine where I was - had gloves, nice new hat, the little lad had his gummy bears (was a bit fractious when he ran out but his uncle sorted some more out) other than that & questions about why folk were lying down so much & who are the guys in blue + are Bradford playing in red..... good game

Missed my half time hot chocolate which I was a bit down about....

 

Remembered my coffee flask and choc biscuit this time, which I annoyingly left in the car when we played Scunny. Hat, gloves, warm boots, thermals and sheepskin coat all present and correct, so I was snug as a bug in a rug. Just as well, as I was going down with man flu.
I managed a couple of choruses of ' David Hopkin's Bradford Army', but otherwise fairly low key.
As you were.

 

You could have done like a City supporter we once saw at an away match at Cheltenham-after no one joined his initial chant he changed it to " Shall I sing a song for you? "

 

No Pyro No Party? (It's a joke before anyone bites my head off).

The game was over as a contest early second half and the team were going through the motions. It's also on the back of a number of games in a short amount of time with a very small away support which doesn't help drum up an atmosphere.

The Barnsley game should attract a following of 3k + I would have thought now and should be a good day out.
