How to kick your own support in the teeth.

The first thing they can do to improve the atmosphere at Tannadice is to stop playing music that makes your ears bleed as the teams run out at the start of the game and the second half.

Celtic run out to You'll Never Walk Alone and the fans sing along, we play something that sounds like someone sawing a bit of copper pipe.

Ive been saying that to my son all season, why the phuck is Kashmir getting played before we run out?? Even die hard Led Zep fans will admit its hardly a foot stomper.

Maybe trying to spice up the atmosphere.

For a start, filling the ET and GF as much as we can especially getting as many in the ETL every home game as possible, so shutting the Jerry Kerr for patg unless it's necessary

Agree with this and I also think that the singing section, with or without drums, needs to be encouraged more by the club. Why they're not doing more to get a better atmosphere is baffling. For the size of crowds we get compared to the rest of the teams in this league, it's terrible.

The ET Lower used to be where most of the singing started and the younger fans had a bit of a carry on but the stewarding at matches these days doesn't allow standing or any kind of nonsense so the energy is lost and people sit on their backsides with their mouths shut.

A section where people are allowed to stand up, jump around and sing without getting told off or stared at from other fans is what is needed to get the atmosphere back.

When I was young, I sang along with every song that got started in the Shed, it was a big part of the match experience. If we don't get the atmosphere back, everyone's (youngsters especially) enjoyment of the game isn't what it should be and gives people less of a reason to keep going.

When I first took my kids to the game, they talked about the fans more than the match. This changes a bit as they get more into football but it is still a huge part of going to watch professional football.

I'm over 50 years old and wouldn't be in the singing section but it's something that should be hugely encouraged by both the club and fans.

Tannadice is like a morgue these days being in this division certainly doesent help. The yells fae bairns and moans fae grandads is prevelant! Something needs to be done and a good start would be open part of the auld shed for standing and part for sitting ( its good enough fir they eejits the green brigade) make it patg to start with and most important, tell they tossy stewards to take a back seat and let people chill oot! Going to gemmes now is like running the polis/ steward gauntlet terrified to open yere mooth incase dejected fir being pished. No as bad as the glorious ibrox day but defo getting like that.

Just watching the Big Bash live from the MCG.
If you want to see an example of brilliant customer experience tune in to channel 414.
It's the polar opposite of your average Scottish senior football customer experience.
The answer could be giant heaters at Tannadice.

But then all the snowflakes would melt.

Lose 6-1 to Falkirk with 1200 Utd fans in attendance (for an hour anyway)

[LSArab]

Just looked up the average attendances for this year.

We have gone lower than our inferior neighbours

The slow killing of our club continues

[shedka]

Not when away support is removed, still very much four figures ahead on average

Their overall average is an embarrassment for top flight, must be about 6k despite visits from Celtic, Sevco, Aberdeen, Hearts, Hibs and St Johnstone so far which will amount to 15,000 away fans alone in those 6 games!
