| Portman road atmosphere 07:20 - Nov 23 with 4066 views | LegendofthePhoenix | Whose job is it to generate positivity and noise at PR? Is it down to the players to start off by playing great and scoring to get the crowd into the mood? Or is it up to the fans to just sing and create noise that lifts the players to greater heights? Because the Wrexham fans were right it was football in a library yesterday. From the SAR, we could barely hear a squeak out of Block A and the SBR. I'm an old fella with a failing voice, hence sitting in the SAR. But in my younger days, ebven when the football was not great the North Stand would generate noise and help the team. Which is how it should be. It just seems now that way too many fans seem to think it's the team's job to get them excited, and only then to join in. If the fans can't help the team, we will get what we deserve like yesterday. |  |

I'm fine thanks Joe. Nope, no nerves touched here. If you read what I've written on the subject I've said I didn't really notice it good or bad yesterday. Not sure why it would touch a nerve in any case, it's not like the singing is all down to me! |  |

| Portman road atmosphere on 16:18 - Nov 23 by The_Flashing_Smile | Given you live in America, how often do you actually get to Portman Road? Not a dig, and the atmosphere could always be better, but I rarely notice it as a problem. Maybe I'm just hyper-focused on the game, but I don't think it's particularly worse than anywhere else. Again, I've not said it's *just* acoustics. But they don't help. There have been numerous occasions where I've thought we were really loud in the North, only to read away fans afterwards saying they couldn't hear us. |
Usually 2 or 3 games a year at home. I also know multiple ST holders who sit very close to the North. I’m not having a pop at anyone paying their money just think it’s been a bit rubbish for a while from games I’ve been at, what comes across on TV and what others tell me. Ipswich of course are not alone in this. It’s just a shame, as a few clubs do have a real home advantage but we are a pretty reactive crowd that have just abandoned our old songs. Away support is very impressive in terms of numbers and noise from what comes across though. [Post edited 23 Nov 16:31]
