Liverpool FC Forum

[thegreenred]

i keep going on about the good old days in this forum, so i'll make this the last, were the hell has the atmosphere gone from anfield, the noise in the kop in the 70s and 80s sent shivers down my back. I understand since the ground became an all seater stadium its harder to generate the atmosphere of yesteryear but surely sitting down dosent stop fans singing, the semi final 2nd leg v chelsea in champions league 2005 was electric a wonderful night,but i not witnesed anything like it since, id be intrested to hear your views on this.

Yes it has, tbh its awful for most league matches, theres too many day trippers now blah blah blah..

[PureLoneWolf]

I have noticed this a few times over the past few years, especially on a wet wednesday against Villa etc.

That said, it does occasionally lift the volume....just ask Chelsea

[simic_ie]

Because weekend games have a lot more "day-trippers" and corporate seats than the mid-week matches... and when I say day-trippers I don't mean non-scousers ok.... I'm talking about people who just go because it is a thing to do while in Liverpool, e.g lads who go to a match and bring their girlfriend along who has zero interest. They're just there for the day out There are a lot of ooters who go to the mid-week games as well but the atmosphere at them is always a lot better.

[Anfield Kop]

It's no more like the old days, but this atmosphere will come back little by little with the progress we have made since Rafa Benitez's arrival.

Because ive been priced out of football because of the ever increasing demands of the players (a thread ill be starting soon) i cant get to see Liverpool as much as i would like. when i do get the chance then its very rarely that ill go home and still have my voice intact, it is baffling why someone would pay the money to get in and the travel to go to a game then sit there and just watch the match, christ the whole idea behind having a crowd is to show the team support. for me its part of the whole experience and untill you do join in then your missing out on what it is to be a supporter, we as fans should never underestimate what an impact we can have to a game.

This might just be my experience from the limited amount of games i can get to but ive found the singing comes from all parts of the ground now and not left to the kop alone, also the singing of you`ll never walk alone from start to finish and in the right key is something you`ll never forget once you hear it, sends a shiver down your spine.

The last game i attended was the Benfica defeat and the atmosphere was fantastic even Benfica fans were gobsmacked by it, you cant beat Liverpool fans when there up for it, its a pity we dont get it every game.

Leon!! Where are ya lad!!

[Billy_5_Times]

Anfield has lost it's atmosphere but I put that down to the fact that the players are further away from the fans. The fact that they are sitting down should have nothing to do with it. They seem to make noise during European nights so why not for the league, even if it is against poor teams. Every game counts so every game should get the same sort of noise as the European games do.

the atmosphere will comeback when the fans of maccabi haifa get in the stadium
