It wasn’t very good before it happened but the creation of Unita has in the end made things even worse. Unita and the the top corner Boothen lot never sing in unison and neither are loud enough to get things going for the rest of the fans. Obviously the dogshit standard of football in the Championship combined with our efforts don’t help. The Franklin stand is an elderly zombie apocalypse wasteland, the loudest noise is the residents coughing… Be careful 🤣🤣

They should be pleased those of us that turn up do so on a regular basis. Never 19k in there today. It’s only going to get worse.
However- the lack of atmosphere is caused by the shite on the pitch. Us singing ain’t going to make a slight difference.
Such shite recruited again. They looked off the pace and totally disinterested.
Also hard to get behind a side we all know is going to concede soft goal after soft goal simply due to the abysmal lack of quality in our defence. I genuinely think this is the worst set of defenders we’ve had since 1999. They’re new levels of pathetic.

I can’t agree with the “us singing ain’t going to make the slightest difference “ because it definitely lifts players when the crowd are behind them.I agree it’s a two way street but it’s as bad as it’s ever been lately

I’ve just accepted that is the way it is, it’s poor but there you go.

I find this absolutely derelict. What a pointless finger pointing at people who have less than a 5% impact on the outcome. Today's performance and result were nothing to do with the fans. Good players and teams perform because they have a will to win, to be better etc. Our lot don't have that. 'ambition' someone once said... Who was that again?

To me it’s ridiculous to blame the support. It’s amazing people after 5 years of abject failure continue to go.
Not much atmosphere at Brighton but the team do ok?

No singing Shite atmosphere Toxic as fuck Groaning at every little fault Groaning at Joe Bursik even after his dad has sadly passed away a couple of days ago and is still playing Booing at a new manager These things aren’t when we are 3 or 4 nil down either.. at nil nil and when we are still in the game No wonder we are so shite at home, must be horrible to play here (For our own players!) So much pressure, no wonder our own players shit it at our home games. We need a singing and standing area ASAP and stop being toxic cunts.. we are where we are so face it, either back the players or hold them back I'm sure the players must think its horrible taking home tens of thousands of pounds a week 🙄 Nothing but a bunch of fannies. Give 100% and fans will be reasonably happy win, lose or draw.

The players look terrified of playing at home, which says a lot about their character. I think on the whole the support has been very patient given the team has been hopeless for five years, but you have to feel a little for some of the younger players who have been thrown into a club where the relationship between the fans and team is so fragile. It's hard to see how that relationship gets rebuilt given this is a team without quality and bottle, and a supporter base already stripped of all hope.

The atmosphere’s shit, the footballs shit, the whole matchday experience is shit.. if it wasn’t for the 🍺 and meeting up with mates I quite honestly wouldn’t go. How that gets turned around I have no idea. It’s worrying to see numbers dwindle and the kids look bored shitless. Just hope he can turn things around

Lose 4-0 in a pedestrian fashion and things will get testy at a lot of places. You're getting paid to play football professionally. All this other is a load of cack - Man up FFS!

we need a serious kick in the arse after these last five years. ever since hughes was sacked it's been utter shit for stoke city. i don't think it's right to blame the fans for being disappointed in yet another embarrassing performance on the pitch.

Four consecutive bottom half championship finishes since relegation, wank players, wank football and just no urgency or ambition and on todays showing we’re certainties to drop into the third tier. But we should be cheering the boys on. Fuck off. well maybe if you support them they will give us something back. It’s flat as fuck from the first till last minute, your right, no urgency or ambition THEY GET PAID!!!! We PAY to watch… You must be completely demented to think fans should motivate the players and not the other way around. Pathetic…

Are you one of the Zombies? I wasn’t but I’ve been bitten by the voiceless ones… Perhaps for your personal safety (preventing further bites from the voiceless ones) and your obvious desire to participate in vocal support (or otherwise) I’d suggest you need to consider relocation to a safer/noisier area of the ground. After all It’ll save you getting into the habit of taking a blanket and flask for the forthcoming winter months.

Sweet Jesus. I have had to sit and watch that rubbish today which has been preceded by god knows how many years of rubbish I have sat through before, to come home to be insulted by fellow supporters for sitting in the Franklin (or what ever they call it ) stand and having no enthusiasm to chant and enthuse about a spectacle as exciting and equally as boring as strictly come dancing and all the other crap I find myself having to watch.
I am so fed up I am not going to another match until next Saturday.

90% of the football served up in the last six years has been utter dogshit. And I'm probably being generous. What do you expect from the fans? The only time we had something to generate a bit of atmosphere, was when we were in a relegation scrap, and that's nothing to be proud off. Like I say, the rest has been shit.
I would agree with you if this was our first season after being relegated, but it isn't. It's like Groundhog Day. Season after season of mid to lower table mediocrity, with only a handful of players who look like they give a shit.
We have zero identity as a team and as a club. Which means the fans have zero identity. If we were a united squad, and we're giving it our all, creating chances, actually scoring goals, but losing games like today, then the fans would still get behind them, but we're doing neither. It's shit, and that generates a shit atmosphere. The fans don't care anymore. Gain some identity, win games consistently, look like we could actually contend for the top six, and the atmosphere will turn in an instant.
This is all on the players and the club. Nobody else. Blaming the fans is bollocks.

I hate this argument any time it crops up. We’ve just been tonked 0-4 at home at fucking midday on a Sunday, on national (international) tele no less, and somehow the fans are culpable!? It’s the sort of shithouse argument that gets used in politics; where the people suffering are somehow blamed for the ills caused by those in power. And some morons lap it up and tear each other to pieces instead of uniting and storming parliaments.
Our home support might be bland and shit these days, but we are the same supporter base that received international acclaim and fame for our hostility not so long ago. That’s something that only less than a handful of clubs could theoretically ever hope to achieve.
The fact that we are now bland and shit is not a reflection of us. It is a terrible indictment of all those at the club in positions of authority over the last however many years of shit; who have been sat on an amazing resource but have been too visionless and inept to tap into it.

I genuinely think Twitter hasn’t helped. It’s full of idiots calling out other fans often unfairly, I saw one post from a young fan calling one of the more calmer heads on there a prick for instance. The divide on that platform is huge.

The fans react to what is being served up on the pitch. The players have got to give us something to shout about but it hasn’t happened in a long while. well the atmosphere was still wank for that dominant 2-0 win over blackpool
