Any thoughts on improving the atmosphere at games?
Have been a lot of threads on this..ideas include a "fan leader" with a megaphone, to more scarves, more flags, song sheets, drums etc.
How to increase support
Redesign the stadium.
Seriously, it was hopelessly wrong to start with. Seats too far back from the pitch; lower tier too small and upper tier too high and too far removed from the action. Compare Old Trafford, Anfield and others, where there are huge lower tiers close to the pitch. Critical density of fans is the key.
Since, obvioulsy, the stadium cant be rebuilt, the only solution is to bringback standing in parts of the lower tier.
