Maybe when the weather picks up it will lift the atmosphere in the stadium. very disappointed with the noise generated by the home supporters.

It was deathly quiet at some times, I have to admit. However, I think that will pick up as the season goes on, a lot of people seemed to be in awe of the occasion which I think stopped fans getting fully into the game. There was a lot of looking around at the stadium and analysing what people saw.

Dont mind someone putting them as a wallpaper for their own PC or saving them for their personal pleasure though.

Just dont try to make money out of them, as then you might get a letter on your doorstep from THE VAMPIRES icon_smile.gif

In all fairness, his post about the atmosphere is true from some points in the match. I remember pointing it out at the time.

The atmosphere was non existent. The crowd made no noise at all. Having the 'noisy' fans behind the sticks is a big mistake in terms of atmosphere.

I know people on here will implode with fury at the heresy, but our fans aren't passionate enough to create an atmosphere. We don't get behind the team unless they are playing well. Knowsley Road was like a morgue until the likes of Wigan, Warrington and Leeds were in town. When they were the atmosphere was great, the low roof and having the singers on the half way line helped a lot. At the new ground, they are at the end of the pitch with the roof twice as high and a huge hole where the noise will drift out rather than bounce off.

Hopefully that will improve once the extra cladding is added.

Everybody within the Saints club fully understand that if the team play crap then the fans go silent. It's our way of telling them to get their bleedin act together. The atmosphere was fine in the second half when they actually did stuff like play for us to respond to.

Besides, we are in our second game. It took most of the season to build an atmosphere at Widnes. Why should it be any different at Langtree?

You should go to Widnes! The atmosphere is zero. They're passionate about the game and their club. You only have to talk to them, especially the older ones, but nobody sings (they have no songs, just chants). A few young lads in the middle of the North Stand think banging a drum will create an atmosphere. It doesn't. New stadia don't seem able to generate an atmosphere in the way old ones did. I suppose it's a trade off. Comfort for atmosphere. When you get to my age, comfort wins!

Pretty noisy where I was stood in the West Stand! Granted there were quiet parts to the evening but show me a home crowd that doesn't go quiet at times when they are losing and I'll wake you up from the dream you're living.

The atmosphere, like the bar service, ticketing issues, weather, and everything else people are finding to have a whinge about will improve as the season progresses.

I was in the North Stand and I could hear the West Stand well enough.

The atmosphere was absolutely fantastic when we got into it, having fans in all 4 stands really made a big difference. It's just the 20 minute or so period when Salford where dominating that it sounded like everybody was whispering. Granted, that usually happens when teams are losing or on the back foot, that with a combination of the stadium not containing the noise is probably the reason why.

I can't comment on the presence/lack of atmosphere at all having not been there, and being unable to motivate myself to bother watching it on Sky, but how can you expect any crowd to get excited over a game against opposition they have no particular rivalry with, and where the scoreline simply has no influence over the outcome of their season even slightly? I'm amazed that there would be any atmosphere at all at any stage under those circumstances frankly.
