How to improve the atmosphere at OT? (self.reddevils)

alee1994 が 投稿

Jose has been very vocal about improving the atmosphere at OT in his last couple of interviews and has asked the fans to help him make OT a fortress again.

We can argue that our atmosphere is very good as compared to other top clubs in the league but for the past 3 years other than Stretty, the voice has died down.

The prices of the tickets haven't helped too. The introduction of J-stand was to help build the voice again but there hasn't been much of an improvement.

So the reason of my post is to help chip in suggestions as to how we can improve the dying atmosphere at Old Trafford?

Are there any fans representatives for the club in this sub who we can pass on the suggestions to?

Our atmosphere compared to a lot of big clubs is second rate. Celtic, Liverpool, Barca, Real, Bayern, Dortmun, Atleti, Juve even the main Turkish teams to name a few all have absolutely electric atmosphere's. We lack that totally, well sorry, on occasion we do ourselves proud.

We don't need representatives we don't need a meeting. If a fan goes to a match and doesn't know to go there and sing and shout their hearts out then what are they doing there? Yes some people like to be quiet during a game to focus on it, but singing doesn't take away from watching the game. In fact it is easily my favourite part of going to OT.

You are there for 90mins - 2 hours. The players don't need fans intently watching them in silence, the players need the fans to drive them on and if you go to OT then it should be your duty to give the players that, to drown out the opposition fans and unnerve the opposition players.

The problem for us unfortunately is that too many of our fans don't understand that.

But the problem is coordination too. Too many different people in different sections singing different songs. There needs to be a way to coordinate the singing. Maybe a leader in each section with a wakie takie allowed with clubs permission who can coordinate with people in other sections as to what song is to be sung etc

Old Trafford is just like that, the acoustics aren't very good. The singing section will be shouting about one thing and the Stretford End would be shouting about another. The only way to improve the atmosphere, without telling day trippers to stay home would be to improve the acoustics within the stadium and making sure chants reverberate round the stadium well.

Come on man that is such an embarressment. Do you imagine what other fans would say, seriously? Celtic doesn't have a co-ordinated crowd either do Liverpool, the Milan's, no one. The problem again is this, the fact that people have to ask how we make it better.

For all those who are lost - just listen to the Stretford end and follow.

Generally I agree with the statement, but Barca, Real and Liverpool's atmospheres aren't that good. Especially Liverpool's, it's only half decent when they sing YNWA, even then it's only like twice a game.

Realistically?

You can't. Tourists are such a huge part of the OT attendance these days that you can't simulate the atmosphere that you get in away sections or cup knockout crowds.

That comes as part of being one of the biggest clubs in the world I'm afraid.

Not everyone is a tourist. We have 75000 inside the ground if we somehow get 10000 to sing simultaneously the atmosphere will change drastically. That 'somehow' is what we have to find.

I think its little bit with culture too, Germans and Turkish people i have seen enjoying and celebrating massively for each goals, atmosphere at dortmund and bayern is great just like International, colourful and loud, and players also very expressive in their celebrations. Germans clubs away support in UCL also very louad and colorful. They always light up the FInals. We have some amazing electric atmospheres at OT over the history, like Ronny's rerturn SAF final game etc.

Yeah but we should not need a special occasion to be loud. Also there are plenty of great atmosphere's in the UK mate, it's not a culture thing.

there's another problem, we need big money players for the fans to sing.

Cheap tickets for under 25's. Usually the most vocal lads there.

Safe standing. More people = more noise and better atmosphere. It's been trialed at Celtic and has gone down quite well.

Last but not least: American-style choir sheets. Always welcome at any football match.

I should add realistically. Ticket prices will only go up and I can't see safe standing in near future. Hope celtics experiment goes well.
