Atmosphere 12:15 - Oct 30 with 3782 viewsRAFC_1990

Good against Bury poor against Oldham.
- Where was the drum?
- How do we improve the atmosphere at Spotland?
- Does anyone care?

I think it makes the Spotland experience when we get a decent atmosphere going, Its a football ground and I think a decent atmosphere will get fans more excited and coming back more regularly.

I think we need to make it an exciting experience to come to Spotland, I think sometimes especially if its a poor game it can be quite boring and its hardly going to entice people back.

We need to re invent Rochdale AFC, and we are doing it on the pitch. There are plenty of other places and things to be doing on a Saturday afternoon, we need to make people excited and want to come to Spotland.

Poll: Halifax or Chorley? If any which game are you going?

Wins will do that...

We are turning the oil tanker slow but sure!!

Big next home game v Swindon... We need to get every one of the 3200 home fans from yesterday back plus some!!

That's the biggest challenge getting to 3500 home fans on a regular basis...

Been done to death on here, main issue is the singers are spread out across the ground. I don't think that's going to change unfortunately.

If we get 2600 back it'll be good.

How can we lose 600 between yesterday and Swindon?

Do people really pick and choose to that extent?

Oldham were noisy! But lets face it we aren't that great (atmosphere wise) even if they weren't. It doesn't bother me in the slightest - I think a little of it was most probably nervousness from us yesterday - after 2 defeats we were desperate to win and a 1-0 scoreline is never the best to calm nerves. Like I said it doesn't really bother me too much - I'd rather they win the noisiest crowd contest and we win the 3 points.

I never understand why the Oldham brigade go and sit near the Pearl Street. I think the atmosphere would have been a little better if they would have been near the Sandy.

It was difficult to generate much atmosphere in the home stands - at least until the latter stages when the Oldham lot seemed to start turning on their own team - due to the exceptional noise they generated; that's partly down to ground acoustics

I'm sure I'm not the only one who found the constant, repetitive racket bloody irritating, and not just because it was away support but quite simply because it was mindless

Does repeatedly chanting "You're just a town full of paedos" confer a sporting advantage on their team, or add to the atmosphere? Whilst admirable in a limited sense for their tenacity in making noise, what did it achieve?

It's not great having home support drowned out, and we do need to generate more atmosphere - I'm not disputing that. Let's just not think that downing more ale than you can handle and making any sort of noise is the answer.

I liked our drum when it was being banged from the Sandy, but was glad it was the sound of a distant drum. That's fine if that's your stand of choice, and it used to be mine for probably 30 years.

Just to add, when Oldham got the ball in the net and their fans started celebrating, they made themselves look even more stupid than they were because they simply weren't watching the game. If they were, they'd have seen the flag several seconds before the ball was poked into the net as a token gesture. That's sometimes the price to be paid for concentrating on making a racket. No, we don't want a crap atmosphere but let's get that balance right.

Three derbies in which we didn't concede any goals.

We lost about 300 since Bury, so it's clear that yes, people do. This is where the £100 ST will hopefully come into play - maintaining a consistent attendance. Then once more are attending regularly, others will hopefully do the same.

we can accomadate 6500+ home fans, my opinion is shut the away stand and let away fans have pearl street.

Because the Pearl Street stand is bigger and louder when it opens it's mouth.

Unfortunately due to very urgent and very last minute work commitments I was unable to attend the game yesterday hence the absent drum.

It will be back the next home game, my apologies for this!

Wish I'd chosen a different username...

But you could get tickets on the day? They didn't go because they didn't want to queue for a ticket for 5 minutes?

Of course you do.

When I was your age, I used to enjoy the odd game of tennis. Or was it golf?
