Quote: gazzagiant "Durham I've been following home and away for the best part of 50 years and am getting cheeses off with being bracketed as being part of the past and Don't count now. I'm all for the club trying anything to help the atmosphere but sympathise with the choir who get drowned out. Perhaps it's a lot of the new fans (say last 5years) who deserted after last season and the price increases. I on the other hand am still going! Silly me, me being part of the past and all that!'"
I am not having a go at individuals but the reality is that for the club to survive it NEEDS NEW FANS with NEW MONEY to add to us old fookers who turn up week in and week out.
Many of these newer fans IMHO want atmosphere. If the fans are not providing it dont knock the club for trying.
I just do not see this thing where the music has killed the singers. I cannot remember many good atmospheres at the Galpharm ever. Every memory i have of good atmospheres in the last 10 years was at away games.
My nephew who i dragged along to Giants games over the last 6 or 7 years has a season ticket for Town but prefers rugby but has not got a season ticket for the Giants because he thinks home games are boring. He would rather go to away games that have atmosphere but the reality is that he ends up putting money into the pockets of cas and Wakey and Leeds rather than Huddersfield
