Read similar for Dens Park. I was at Fir Park once last season and the atmosphere was average. It's also possible they view a game against us higher than we do against them. And that's before we get into how you even measure something like atmosphere. Maybe it's that you are more critical of our atmosphere because it's ours and you really want it to be better.

Shanks said no Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 When away fans vote for Tynecastle is there not a lot more to it than just the atmosphere / noise in the ground.

Simply put, I think people are never going to stop singing it. I'd rather they didn't and that I'd never have to hear it again, but if they absolutely must (they probably always will) I'd at least insist upon those people to please please please sing the 'hibee' version instead of 'fenian' and without any mention of 'billy'. At the very least, that way it has some relevance to us, as it's rivalry/football based rather than having any sectarian connotations. I'm thick skinned, and not personally offended by it at all, despite being what would be described by some as 'part fenian' myself, but I take huge exception to the message it sends out about our support. We have the best supporters in the country. Fact. What we have done for our club is nothing short of amazing, and rivalries aside, we really should be held up and viewed as a gold standard for all clubs across the country, so the idea that we could be portrayed or perceived in any kind of negative light is not one I'm on board with. I'm really rather proud to support a great club that offers a viable option for supporting a team without all the 'sideshow attractions' that are so deeply ingrained in the West. I'll finish by asking nicely to those who would be representing Hearts the most audibly, whether that be the SSO or others: this is a club that ALL of us share, so please treat her kindly and try your very best not to project your own personal, political and religious beliefs on to the club as if they were that of Hearts themselves. We all love different things and we all hate different things, but the club remains all of ours. No matter what walk of life we are from, on matchday we all love one thing in common. Hearts.

Bridge of Djoum Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I suppose the bottom line here is how to turn Tynecastle into a horrible place to come and play, a bear pit if you will whilst not being ''offensive''. Crystal Palace seem to manage it well. Their home form is pretty good, (I think) always a good atmosphere and as far as I know, no bigoted or racist songbook. Scotland's societal problems to the fore here, I fear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
