It's worse in lawrence batley side (I lost track of what they call it now?). I sit in the middle right next to the press and posh seats at the very back of the lower tier and you could hear a pin drop. If I shout 'offside' or 'forward' people turn round and look at me funny, let alone when me and my sister try singing along when Big G bangs his drum. The other week I was feeling particularly strongly about something and was having a good old rant - the old bloke in front of me turned round and asked me to keep it down! That seems to be the attitude of a lot of our supporters, these are the same people that walk out 10 minutes before then end when its a draw though.

As has been said before its difficult to get an atmosphere in such a large stadium when the fans are so spread out. However I don't think it helps that when people do try singing etc all they get is funny looks. It used to be a really good atmosphere when I sat at the top of the Kilner Bank but then I got sick of certain ones swearing in chants as I have a 3 year old stepdaughter who went home singing about the ref's lack of a father, that was an awkward phone call!

Basically unless the club are going to do something to get the fans more involved I dont see the atmosphere getting any better. However I will continue to shout and cheer and get funny looks, as long as we are playing our best and winning games I'm not too worried!

exactly DG, and the noise the crusaders fans made, made our lot chant back,yesterday was a great atmosphere in the kilner bank, if the giants fans were next to the microphones as well it would have come across on the tv,as it was any noise from us was drowned out by the amplified crusaders' noise.
credit to the crusaders though,they were a brilliant crowd just a shame we cant have more away fans back in the kilner bank.

I feel very confident that we will also do a decent job when we travel this week.

It's easier for the away fans to generate the atmos and it's the same at football. Away games are better, which makes it all the more frustrating for us given our away following is still poor, albeit improving.

Glad i am using a keyboard for conversing today i have no voice left



despite the frustrations yesterday i genuinely enjoyed the atmosphere in the Riverside yesterday.

Thought the atmosphere was akin to the old days when we used to get some terrific noise in the KB stand, although it didnt come across on the the TV because of the Welsh being sat by the mics the Giants fans made some din for a change ....maybe its a possibility that the club could let some of the smaller away followings back in that stand to help the atmosphere in future

I think we have all learned something.

Next time Giants are at home on Sky we get all the singers together under the atmosphere mics in the Britannia Rescue stand.
