Just watching the Dortmund destruction of the arse and the support is amazing , apart from Palace so many English games are dead now in terms of vocal support wheras lots of games abroad seem to have much better vocal support from fans .
Sad in my view and making the match day experience a little dull at times .

all-seaters ruined it. We need a 'singing section' unless of course we are able to introduce safe-standing again.
it really is embarrassing watching the atmosphere in English football as opposed to the bundesliga

Money. In England it is no longer a working man's game. For Dortmund you can get an adult season ticket for £80.

It is money.Not enough young lads can afford to go, and they are traditionally also the most vocal.

Money.
Pure and simple. Money has ripped the guts out of English football and I don't think it will ever recover.
I currently work in a warehouse where there are probably 100 or more lads in the eighteen to thirty age range and even though lots have a passing interest in football absolutely NONE go regularly (that I know of) to any team (bar me)
I reckon the same demographic thirty years ago would have seen a good majority going regularly to matches. It's even quite rare for football to be talked about it is so so different to howe it was when I was younger and football was the ONLY topic of conversation.
Most people feel totally alienated from football and frankly the sons of this current lot will have even less chance of ever getting an interest. Football is no longer the working class game where people with fire in their bellies shout their guts out for 90 minutes. Not in this country, and sadly it probably never will be again

Reduce the prices and get the youngsters in, safe standing and bouncing/singing all game, it's not rocket science. Plus at my age if I sang and bounced around for half an hour I would need an ambulance and an oxygen tent in that order  . |
