Cahill to Tompkins, Tompkins to Cahill, Cahill to PVA, PVA to Cahill, Cahill to Guaita… it's like watching a re-run of Hodgson's England, and is hardly going to get the crowd going

Arguably a necessary part of the game these days, but when a team hardly crosses the half way line and has no attempts on goal there isn't much for a crowd to get enthused about, wouldn't you say?

Yes, indeed. Teams let us play a bit in our own half but as soon as we try to cross the halfway line, they press and either:

In the old days of terracing you could just go and join the singers. Not anymore. So put 400 people together in the middle of the homesdale and that’s your lot. Edited by florence (08 Feb 2020 1.05pm) Edited by florence (08 Feb 2020 1.05pm)

Not helped when the HF now sing songs only they know instead of songs everyone know and join in with.

I think we've got complacent; we've had a few years of commentators raving about the noise at Selhurst and now a lot of people don't think they have to try anymore. Watching disappointing football doesn't help, but also I reckon a lot of people have got p1ssed-off with the ultras and won't join in with anything they start.

One only needs to view games on television and witness fervour generated by positive events on the field of play.Crowds respond passionately as their team gets on to the front foot, asks questions of the opposition,and dominates and score goals with the opponents "pinned against the ropes". Sadly, us supporters do not witness any domination by our team, and week on week endure dour abject football with a earth of goals.Watching the team at 'Selhurst Park' is NOT a pleasant experience and the performances are not conducive to supporters rallying behind the team in a vocal and passionate way.Maybe this will change if we are in the Championship next season.
