redm Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Did I say that? I started the Twirly post and strongly think we should be doing it more and improve the atmosphere as a whole inside the ground There is so much vile towards our own players I sometimes think we should welcome back the young team. The longer it continues the team will only head one way unless they are fully backed Never lambasted a Hearts player in my puff and it is embarrassing how fans get on the back of the players Support the team with passion A lot of the time it's the "I paid my money I'll boo if I want" folk who moan the most about the "lack of atmosphere". They'll tell you that drums and chanting are important because making a din and supporting the team can make you the twelfth man, and has a positive effect on the players. They'll also insist that booing is a brilliant idea and definitely doesn't have a negative impact on the players. Logic, you see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redm Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I'd love a singing section to really take off. I think it could really add something if it was done well. Rangers sympathising tweens who think banging a drum for 90 minutes and stealing chants from Motherwell constitutes 'atmosphere' probably aren't going to get the buy-in they need from the rest of the support though.

Rangers sympathising tweens who think banging a drum for 90 minutes and stealing chants from Motherwell constitutes 'atmosphere' probably aren't going to get the buy-in they need from the rest of the support though. A properly organised section allowing fans who want to sing and chant would be a good idea. Provided it's not full of pluke faced wannabe sevco fans. This is why a safe standing area should have been looked at imo. It's not forcing anyone to stand or join in and gives people choice, standing also creates a better atmosphere than sitting it's just an instinct thing I think.

maroonlegions Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 All those hardcore fans that go to all the away games and create an atmosphere should all just clump together and start the singing at home games. Dedicate singing section for all those who attend away games.?? Special STs discount seats based on loyalty points from purchased away tickets or briefs if paying by cash gate.?? FTH.

cammyjc Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Best atmosphere I've seen in a long time was the home game against Rangers. It would be brilliant if it was like that all the time, completely intimidating for the away side and fans. It's a great idea, I'm all for it. Gorgie Loyal HHGH.

Marooned Abroad Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 The question I was asked earlier:- "Can you tell me when Tynecastle was "rocking" on a regular basis outwith "big" games ?" Rangers 2-0 this season - I would class as a "big game" Celtic, Aberdeen and Hibs I would class as "big games" Other than these "Big Games" the place is like a morgue with fans throwing vile abuse at our players as mentioned by others on this thread. Not the atmosphere that some people and TV pundits kid on Tynecastle is. Particularly the vile abuse, that has reached a new low point this season. The way Sammon was treated during the Maltese game and then in the Gorgie Suite after it - shocking I understand it is difficult when the football on offer is not very entertaining at times, but someday soon, hopefully we will get a team that will encourage passionate support from the stands. I am not a racist, homophobic, sectarian or abusive language sort of person, and I also understand that there are lines/boundaries that must not be crossed. The Male Voice Choir comment was just a bit tongue and cheek. I just want the team to do well, and to help that, having a "12th man" can only help That's just my opinion though, each to their own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norrie1952 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Atmosphere at Tynecastle .I am one of the lucky ones who has experienced it through the 60s and later years.IMO there is no easy answer to creating it.Its spontaneous .In the days I'm talking about we went in and just created havoc.Im sure there's still a few of us about.If you look round in the stands we look like old men(not fat wasters).My personal opinion is you will never get what we experienced cos there's no real terracings.Im afraid these days have gone.Still I had my days.Good luck to you all in the future.HHGH.

Marooned Abroad Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Totally agree with Beige Jambo on this. I've been a staunch supporter since the late 50s and have seen and heard a lot at Tynie. If I was starting out now I'd think twice about going to matches if I had to put up with the sort of vile abuse being bandied about from certain quarters. Sure, we're entitled to vent our frustrations when things arent going right but there is a line which any reasonable person knows should exist....particularly when young kids are in the crowd.

Call me an old f**t if you like but that's my view! Started going to games in the 80's every week , home and away and would say that the abuse and sectarianism has reduced greatly from then. It's probably been a change of around 30 years to get to this point , perhaps in another 20 years we will have eroded it out eh door at our club, whilst managing to produce a fantastic atmosphere each week.

Totally agree. First went to Tynie just 3 months shy of my 7th birthday in Feb 70 for a league game against St Mirren. Crowd just over 8000 (checked on London Hearts before posting). Although I was in the main stand with my old man, my memory is of the unbelievable noise generated by the singing crowd who in those days stood at the half-way line underneath the pie stand and TV gantry. It might have been my first game but even at the age of six, I knew that was where I wanted to be. When you look at Tynecastle (or probably most grounds now), does anywhere have that same, "that's where I want to be atmosphere?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something needs to change, whether this lot are the ones to do it i dont know. I agree with you to a point. I am one of those supporters who thinks 'Since I was young' is a shit song though. That's just a personal opinion though. I do think it's sad that nobody can get any good new songs of the ground. Timeless classics like: The Hearts Song South Morocco European Song etc... All good songs. Something a bit more imaginative like that. I mind speaking to a guy in Dickens who pointed out some boy in there who he claimed made up the European Song and a couple of others. We should get that guy on it imo, because a lot of the recent ones have been a bit poor. Again, all imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, my defence would be that I think it's a song that is in a style which active football support has embraced all across the world, where we are somewhat behind the times. It's a stepping stone if you like, to a different type of some, more melodic, that last for longer. Some of our support is very backward and outdated in this respect. The style of support in describing is the polar opposite of the type of support that would endorse Red Bull. Could not be more different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
