sorry about this "rant", but is it just me or is the atmosphere inside the ground at home games getting worse every year. it seems to me that there is more of a buzz around the ground and in town before and after the game. i was at the villa game and all day town was hopping, expecting a right good game. the minute i got inside the ground i noticed it had died down and but for a part of the second half it was truly [oops]. now forgive me for commenting on this cos im an out of towner but i do go to plenty of home games and quite a few away games so when i do go i try my best to make myself heard, which normally gets me a few odd looks from the more conservative "fans".

Far too many despondant old ar5e season ticket holders...

Far too many corporates...

Far too many out of towners (no offence if you are, as you say, a noise maker)

Far too many disbelievers (here here)

Far too many atmosphere soaker uppers, not enuff atmosphere makers.

im a out of towner, i feel mayb the nervousness around the team reflects in teh crowd. When this team is playing great the atmosphere is electric, its almost as though the crowd are like a guage for the moral and feeling of the squad.

Before Madrid, before Juve, before olympiacos, i think it was clear the vide and mood amongst the fans, the sounds. Now there seems to be a bit doubt in the fans minds/hearts after the money issues, the xabi sale, so that emotion i think is reflecting in teh team:) my opinion.

i have to agree about the aptmophere, theres a better aptmosphere in the albert!!

altho im going to my 1st champions league game on Wed so im hoping the aptmosphere will be good as its a european night, what you guys think??

i wouldnt hold my breath. european nights are really good nights. if its against one of the big boys or if there is something at steak. i was at the home game against monaco 04/05 and the ground was half empty. compare that to juve or chelsea later on. im not getting all negative or anything and i know we have all heard this before, it just pisses me off that the year we should be giving the league a right good rattle, we cant create a decent atmosphere

Think fans realise the club is starting to stink and thats why the atmosphere is getting worse. The American Owners, David Moores, incompetent manager, players not fit to wear the famous red shirt, supporters who are losers and settle for mediocrity, Our biggest rivals United that far ahead both on and off the pitch that we probably will never ever catch them and a new foe on the horizon in Manachester City who threaten the whole existance of the english and european game, having to pay more and more money each season to watch Lucas and Mascherano, more and more out of town fans turning up for games and at the same time the loyal local support getting less and less each passing season, Torres last season at the club coming up or if we are very lucky we may get him one season extra, and worse of the lot no light at the end of the tunnel. Anyway Rafa rant over take your pick out of all these which applies to the atmosphere getting worse, most will have more than one i expect.

ouch. and i was being paranoid about being negative. are you suggesting rafa should go? we will never catch the scum? torres is on his way? out of towners should stay away? no light at the end of the tunnel? come on man, lighten up. we go to the game, not to give out about lucas, but to try and get behind our lads. anyone who wastes the money to go the game and boo's one of our own players or constantly criticises every little thing should stay at home. we are in as good a position as possible given the financial situation imo

Yes ged everyones fault but your own, yet you appear to be the one bringing the atmosphere down on here. Perhaps you should ask whether the problem is a little closer to home - heaven forbid and from a loyal local, well loyal in the losest sense that is!

here here. Well said boyo
