Barring the derby games there is rarely any atmosphere at the KC. You get the occasional game that the crowd lift for, but it is a rarity these days.

The Agar era will take a bit longer to fade from the memory, and even though the decrease in crowds since say 2007 has only been 2-3K on average, that 2-3K can make a big difference in the KC. Generally with 13/14K in the ground the South and East stands are full and this increases the noise.

I hope this year brings the fans (and the teams) confidence back, and Ellis' signature should result in big pass sales next year.

Oh dear,another with selective memory loss.

The atmosphere at the boulevard was diminished significantly when the 3d stand capacity was reduced in the 1980's. It was further reduced when the 3d had seats put in it.

Apart from the derby games, most games against Leeds and the odd important game (certain cup games, the Sheffield game at the end of 1999). The atmosphere was non existent at the boulevard.

To even suggest it was chanting from minute 1-80 is a plain untruth.

Completely agree !! Recovering from Halfwit Agar's era will take some time, even though he had a couple of blind unconditional "friends".

A really good sign of Fubar's miserable tenure being totally removed from recent memory will be when Wolfie admits to removing Agar's photo from his bedroom wall.

You also have to take into account at away games we are mostly stood or sat together so are going to generate more noise.

KC we are in three different areas!

The score on Sunday was 58 - 10 So the Atmosphere would be flat .If a score is close that when fans start to
cheer and sing .I go to away games and the fans get behind their team plus most times we are outnumbered and the players need our support .Let face it even the ref had an easy game on Sunday, he couldn't get much wrong

And some of those days of sub 5000 crowds gave us better atmos than 12000 at the KC.

Singers stood together, there was history and soul at the Boulevard.

Yes the first piece of Threepenny being pulled down for seats ripped a hole in the atmos, but the last wooden bit and its replacement were still special times.

Teams used to hate playing away at Boulevard, it was both "least and most fave ground" in Q&A

Now the KC is fave due to the pitch and facilities.

Yay, we dont put the s up anyone anymore

And as for singing for 80 mins, we didnt. It was longer, the noise would crank up 20 mins pre kick off. (anyone remember "bring on the FC"icon_wink.gif

All we have now is a gimp telling us what stand we are in

It would probably help if they didn't play crappy pop music at full blast for an half an hour before the game.

Anyone else hear the Hovis music while reading that?

Anyone who thought there was an atmosphere at the boulevard in the late 80's and the 90's was presumably not around pre the valley parade fire

I've been on here loads of times moaning about lack of singing at kc. What gets me is instead of everyone complaining why not just stand up and sing- whats the worst that could happen. We are the only ones who can change this. As for no singing at the widnes game because of the score-line whats the excuse for the same amount of singing at the wires game.
Tbh I think the atmosphere declined rapidly after the old theepenny came down and think we've not it got back since.
Your correct about the ammount of different songs we had, There was a song for just about every player. We've now got Yemo Yemo, Horney Horney and thats about it pretty crap really init?
Maybe its just a bottle thing and people are scared of looking daft if no-one joined in.
We seem a different animal away from home and sing more than anyone does when they come to us, although alcohol could be the key factor there. I know it is for people on the bus I go on

Cheap and patronizing. People rarely get nostalgic about things that used to be worse.
