Ok. Help me here. With the understanding in this thread of two things to put aside: 1. The chicken and egg. Some think it’s on the players. Some want the fans to be loud. I can’t control on pitch but I can certainly pass ideas on about atmosphere help. So any ideas, preferably neatly laid out, would be appreciated. I agree we need JS absolutely rocking. 2. If CastleHill Terrier works for the club, it’s news to me. And if he does and it’s found out, my guess is that relationship would change quite quickly. For what it’s worth, I’d bet my house he doesn’t, but that’s another argument. So in closing, ideas are appreciated. Especially ones that are doable on shorter notice. As for match atmosphere from the club standpoint- that’s a longer convo. But I would bet that next season this will 100% not be a conversation, there are quite a few things in the works. But as someone else said, all focus is on this season and doing all to stay up. Appreciate as always, I’ll do what I can as a conduit, and UTT How about telling Hogg to play towards the South Stand in the second half if he wins the toss? Really frustrates me when we don't do this. Everyone knows that the best atmospheres in the second half come when teams are attacking their noisy fans behind the goal. Yes, it is a shared stand with the away fans and hardly on a par with the Kop at Liverpool but it's the best we've got. At the moment we seem to prefer to attack the quiet North Stand in the second half so the players can to their families if they score. Worked well under Moore, didn't it 🤣

can't make an atmosphere with £370 pound season tickets and a half-empty stadium... yes you can with ambition and performances on the pitch, the stadium will not be half empty and tickets will start at less than £370.00 the most expensive might be close to £370 but the majority will not be. Again worry about next season once this season is over. Given the dross the team has served up over the course of the last 2 seasons, plus the farce surrounding the recruitment and idiotic sacking of Warnock and the disastrous appointment of Moore, I can guarantee that if you put anyone’s season ticket price up to more than £300 you’ll lose a big chunk of season ticket holders therefore wiping out any financial gains you hoped to make by increasing prices by such a ridiculous amount.

The fans have been overly supportive over the last few seasons. The players have been SOFT AS SHIT, but the fans have rarely turned against them. It's now up to the players to show the fans how much the shirt, badge and loyal fans means to them after two seasons of them basically taking the piss. The fans will show them support, it's up to the players now to reciprocate and give us a passionate, professional, 90 minute performance.
All this 'the fans don't support them enough' is complete fucking bollocks, the players don't know how lucky they are!

I was agreeing and saying I would have the same bet as waggers as in bet that I didnt work for the club, as I dont like i have said many many times, I dont claim to work for the club and never have done. oh I do like winding up gullible people also on here sometimes, but this thread and season ticket thread were created as I think both subjects are really important and the opinion on here is seen by the club. I am fed up with all the negative people, we are far from relegated and we have the chance to help the team in our own little way so why wouldnt we try to do it, I for one believe we can still get the points required to stay up and I will be singing my heart out at the weekend. So it’s just coincidence you created a thread about zoning the ground and putting season tickets up a whole month before the almost identical plan was presented to fans’ representatives at the ATT meeting 3 weeks ago?

Whatever people think about this carnage of a season. The fact remains that we all need to get behind the team for the last few home games. I’m prepared to get behind them from minute 1 purely because I really do not want to be watching lower league football next season.

This could work Can they sing songs about the players too? Do we even have any for our current bunch, apart from Hogg? What are the Roly Polys doing these days?

Appreciate as always, I’ll do what I can as a conduit, and UTT I think at this late stage, ignoring on the pitch, these are the only options and both are proven to help: Maximise the crowd through promotions, free and cheap tickets. Put clappers on seats. Unless we're two down inside 5 mins it will definitely improve the atmosphere and hopefully the team will respond! Ps. Thanks for confirming CHT is not connected to the club. Hopefully the penny will now finally drop with some people!! Don’t know how anyone could even remotely think he works for the club 😂 He got everything wrong in relation to transfers in January & is incredibly coherent. Also, people that work for the club/ITK generally don’t shout about it for obvious reasons, especially not often.

I’m prepared to get behind them from minute 1 purely because I really do not want to be watching lower league football next season. Spot on. The sole point is “what can we do?” As fans it’s torture knowing you can’t do anything, just waiting to see if your life will be a little better or worse for the coming seasons. ( i realise how over the top and pathetic that might seem to some) So anything no matter how small, me, you and thousands of others can do to give just a tiny percentage of being more likely to stay up, then i’m all over it. Right now who cares who did what to get here.

I dont think its possible inside the ground as thats KSDL and not town, maybe in the fan zone it could work. Get everyone drunk and the atmosphere would be electric.

I’m all for the fan experience and I think it’s clear to see that work has gone in to that this year in particular. No doubt it will be a focal point over the next couple of years. Once the game has kicked off the only thing that creates an atmosphere is a voice. Which is directly dictated by the performance. Theres no magic solution to this. No money can be thrown at this. It’s the same for every single club across the country. If the players show fight and commitment then the fans will back them vocally. It’s not even about winning. It’s about falling to your knees after 90 minutes knowing you have give every ounce of energy. To be fair, most of the players are fully committed. We just lack real quality and a bit of luck. Money can be thrown at the quality. Just show some fight.

Worked for Moore didn't it....... Snap 🥴🫣😁 You will remember that I posted a few times about this. Final count: 7 times playing Moore's way, D4 L3, 3 times the usual way, W2 D1. Deserved sacking for introducing a policy like that and not even bothering to review it, see it failing and changing back (and under Worthy we did just that and won the next two.)

Fans back the club simply by turning up! it is then up to the players to create an atmosphere by putting the effort in.Cheaper tickets might = more fans,so will goals for Town.It is quite simple really.

I really think this attitude is wrong, the fans can create an atmosphere before the players even enter the pitch, the club can also help with creating this atmosphere by many different approaches as suggested on this thread (get more people in the ground, clappers, Rambo building it up more, some pre match interviews build up, Music pre match) I agree performances on the pitch can increase or continue the atmosphere in the stadium, but we need the atmosphere before we even kick a ball especially in these last 3 games, this is down to the fans in the stadium to create this atmosphere, along with the club to provide something to get everyone going. The point of the players are paid to perform whatever the atmosphere, this is correct and I think they are putting the effort in but I still believe the players gain an extra lift from a good atmosphere and a positive crowd, and we need any help we can get, the smallest of gains could make the difference, I don’t see why it’s even an argument that people are not wanting to create an atmosphere because of past performances with this attitude we might as well take relegation now without a fight. just top add look at Liverpool, West Ham, even L**Ds the all have a massive atmosphere before a ball is even kicked it created with music and in other ways but it works.

Apologies for not creating a good atmosphere this season, as that's obviously the reason why we've been so dreadful. you really do like to disagree and find an argument against everything don’t you! We had the best atmosphere in the Premier league (many away teams and commentators said this) with a "small" club and "small crowd" your point is not valid with 16k plus in the ground we can create an amazing atmosphere we have done before. I am not talking about the atmosphere this season or the performances so far (which I agree have been "dreadful"), I am talking about the biggest 3 home games for the club in many years the next 3 starting this Saturday vs. Millwall and the fans trying to be extra loud in the build up to the match, and during the match. How can you not understand the point is we can all do our little bit to help the team in these last 3 games, by turning up, by trying to be positive, by trying to sign loud and proud, by creating a better louder atmosphere. If everyone gave a little bit extra this weekend fans, players, management, ownership then we just might see the performance / result we need. Stop being so negative and argumentative and try to give that little bit extra from 2:55pm to around 5pm this Saturday, my god if we can get a little bit of positivity from htfacoaky this weekend imagine what we can do as a collective.

You're like a scratched record. Just because you keep saying something over and over, it doesn't make it true. Anyone that has a different opinion is branded negative and you think that wins you the argument, well it doesn't. I'll be there like I always am and I'll be supporting my team. It's not up to me to get the players up for it, it should be a given that they are up for it seeing as though how important the game is. If the fans can see maximum effort and some intent from the first minute, then the crowd will respond. Whenever there's things to get behind, the crowd responds and it lifts the atmosphere. The Premier League seasons, particularly the first season, were brilliant for atmosphere, but there was a genuine feelgood factor around the club, plus the ground was full and dare I say it, they had the clappers as well, which make a lot of noise. It'd be nice to return to those days, but the players and the club have to do their bit. Keep branding me negative though, like the boring fool that you are.

Birmingham City had a full house on Saturday v PNE, they added an extra incentive with an after match show......UB40 played live, good job they won otherwise maybe only '1 in 10' will have stayed to watch. Aren't UB40 local to Brum though and a few of them Brum fans? Any local Huddersfield bands other than Evile? Not sure many people will stay after a match to watch a thrash band

just top add look at Liverpool, West Ham, even L**Ds the all have a massive atmosphere before a ball is even kicked it created with music and in other ways but it works. Have you been to Liverpool ?! Its garbage, in the main (away from those occasional big European nights or when playing Man U etc), its like we experienced, which is a loud PA version of You'll Never Walk Alone with about 50 people at the far end waving some scarves in time and making no noise...followed by 90mins of silence outside of goal reaction, punctuated by 10,000 tourists silently filming the entire thing down the stand down one side of the pitch on phones and even iPads! There's a lot of people so there's a hub-bub, but comparatively in relation to the crowd size, the atmosphere at our place is BETTER in the main, even when its shit.
