Expected Saturday to be a lot more lively, especially to combat the noise the Utd fans were making, which was really impressive so fair play to them. But with how poorly we played I wasn't surprised with how flat the fans were. Seemed like we were all shocked at how weak a performance we put in.
Hooefully be rocking next Wednesday for the other uglies though.

I don't think the singing section moving yet again would make the blindest bit of difference to the atmosphere for the ground as a whole. It may cost a few players wages for a season or two which could hurt the atmosphere further. Those in it might enjoy it but I doubt that many would gravitate to one of the worst views in the ground, where they don't get a seat and miles away from the away support.
In reply to other posters the emptiest part of the FF wasn't the lower section but the upper right part which the signing section vacated.

I find the fan culture difference between Scottish fans and European fans very interesting.
Evidently, with the push for safe standing, the displays, the marches, there is a drive from the likes of Since 1875, the Green Brigade, Motherwell boys etc to appear and model themselves after European Ultras.
What all the fan groups in Scotland are incapable of doing seemingly is continuing to cheer and boisterously support their team when the going gets tough. Lots of European Ultras keep supporting the team loudly, regardless of whether the team is putting on a horrific display. Since 1875 had packed up and gone, like many of us as soon as the 3rd goal went in.
I can’t stop thinking of Dortmund fans bouncing after getting beat 0-3 by Bayern at the Signa Iduna https://youtu.be/kUrtWli6oWo
Dortmund won the league the year before that video, so can hardly argue it’s just down to them being used to routine thrashings from Bayern. It’s just how these groups support their teams - non stop in the stadium.
I’m unsure if it’s something in our footballing culture, because I couldn’t personally belt out a song to support a team putting in a gutless, shambolic performance, and I doubt rowdy, noisey Hibs fans would have helped turn around our shambolic display on Saturday.
I just find the difference intriguing, and if our singing section really want to be like their European counterparts, they should try and not succumb to the collective despair the rest of us do.

I think as a support we are as passionate as others but we tent to ask for at least what looks like effort ,good football,attacking prowess and ultimately a good result.We as fans rightly expect to be entertained and
When we are not we are vocal or demand better which is fair.Sometimes we can let ourselves down by getting personal with certain players which is not acceptable.We as fans have been disappointed in every single way over the years and these scars are thre to see in our support. It's up to the Players, fans machday DJ's to get an atmosphere going it takes everyone as we are a team.Fact

Football has changed over the years, you rarely get a good thumping tackle, or an up and at them style of play.
What we have now is a game played at walking pace for large parts of the game, and a possession based style that rarely works unless there is a mistake somewhere.
I think this has a big part in folk feeling less enthusiastic these days, and why the need for certain parts of the ground being classed as librarys.

I’ve no real interest in singing anymore and happy to sit there until it’s time to fold and put away my tartan blanket. I’ve no real gripes with the atmosphere. If folk want to sing great, if folk don’t want to that’s fine too and they can have one of my worthers originals. I’d not have a problem with an ultras style atmosphere where they sing and drum all game regardless of what’s going on, other than it feeling a little forced IMO. I do think that events on the park are the biggest driver for atmosphere as others have said.

Don’t post here often cause feel like a lot can turn into a bunfight but here.
The atmosphere at Easter Road is very poor. In my opinion this is for a fair few reasons.
First is we simply don’t play exciting football, in fact we kind of mirror what teams did to us in previous seasons 15/16/17 where we sit down and time waste once in the lead.
The second is the singing section have been chucked about the stadium and really need to be somewhere in S43 or right behind the goals in the FF (I know this opens a can of worms) I honestly think safe standing in the lower FF would be incredible and I would move there if it was implemented.
The third thing is the pre match music and build up kills any potential atmosphere stone dead. That and now the advertisements every few minutes which drowns out anything from the home support at the moment. (This isn’t to slate the announcer he’s great at beg engaged with the support I just think pre match can be a lot softer)
There’s probably a few more things that escape me right now but I agree that many are priced out of the games/season tickets. This is another reason I hope safe standing is implemented, may have an area of reduced prices.
Please feel free to tell me I’m talking guff

Get everybody p1ssed, sounds like a plan to me
I may have mentioned this once or fifty times before but, I still think they should introduce cheerleaders as well

And i don't get the downgrading part? The Aberdeen red shed is still an all seater stand but designated as a standing area. The Broamloan lower is all seated yet has 4000 stood every game....Last edited by Antifa Hibs; 20-10-2021 at 07:54 AM.

I think a dedicated standing / singing section would definitely help.
Condense the FF lower to the 1st 3 sections from the main stand and use the 2 sections nearest the East for singing / standing and watch this area grow.
Something positive will come of this.

I was just reading a press release from Aberdeen where they said that on average, 35% of Season Tickets holders are missing at home games.
I'd be interested to know what the equivalent is at ER as the stadium often looks a lot more empty than the announced attendance would suggest.

How many folk on here moan about the atmosphere being poor but do nothing at the game to make it any better? Go up and sit with the section and help them make more noise and grow to improve the atmosphere. The view from the sides of the East further back are fine so that's not an excuse

Brondby fans look tremendous packed into that corner at Ibrox.
That's what we need to visualise for the Famous five signing/standing section
