Really? Looked quite contrived to me, with all the stadium announcements, more akin to a nazi rally than football fans.
Im sorry that is just really poor taste and something that I really hate as it is pathetic tbh and the stadium announcements were before the match and you have similar shit in every country

Well, not being able to understand what the announcer was saying, I felt it unnecessary to think the worst. At the very start of the clip, I think it was pretty clear that the announcer was simply announcing the names of the players selected for the team, then the crowd cheering after each name was called out? The same thing happens around grounds in our own country but I think Nazi rally's are not so common over here?

Sorry if you think I'm being a dick, I just decided not to judge what I could hear because I had no idea what was being said. If anything, I'd suggest that you perhaps open your mind a little & remember that it's no longer 1943.

EDIT: Just noticed 'beats' response, nice to see I'm not alone in my thinking.

Always enjoyed Nazi rally's myself. We used to go for pizza afterwards. Didn't really agree with the views I just like pizza and adolf usually paid. Say one thing for him he wasn't tight.

Have I just gone weird again?

o f course its not just the stadium design that creates this, its also the unity and passion of the fans

I feel England has lost a lot of this in recent years, and i guess we can partly blame new stadiums for it. But quite how to install that unity in the fans, to not get on the players backs at a moments notice and keep an electric atmosphere, backing the team for every minute, is something i'm not sure we can do

German clubs have a closer bond with their fans, always have, well, over the past decade certainly.

English fans have long been treated as customers, customers that can consider themselves lucky to enjoy the privilege of premier league football etc

It's much cheaper to see your team play over there and the players are more likely to be "local" lads who came through the ranks ( they always get better treatment )

I would like to see concessions for all games, for this relatively new group of young fans ( 1882? ) who's aim is to support the team 100% all game long. Maybe the club can help set them up as a proper unit. Provide membership cards and other benefits etc? I know what some might think, 'the club won't do that for nothing' but its little things like this that can make a difference.

Anyone out there got any news on when they plan to start work on the actual stadium? Have the finances to pay for it been sorted or is that what we'rewaiting for? Bloody hope not or this could all be a pipe dream.

Sorry I though you knew. Daniel made the announcement last week that we have come to an agreement with wonga to pay for the stadium. We will have to pay 1bn% interest and if we can't pay Daniel will have his legs broken and Bale will have to work off the debt by sucking off Japanese business men while dressed as Amy Winehouse.

But isn't that illegal? Especially with cats!

Also that bird on the phone has massive hands.

Doubt we'll hear anything much before September. We already have some of the finances in place, hence the building of the Sainsbury's and offices, also we've cleared the land already.

I think it's more to do with fan demographics, there are more older and or wealthier fans now, the cost of going being so extortionate, that we seem to have lost alot of verve and vigour of fans in their mid teens to their late 20's early 30's. The fact that since violence has more or less been eradicated inside grounds, we seem to get a more sedate 'family man' 'audience' rather than a young, raucous energised 'crowd'!!
