It's certainly spreading round the ground. From my vantage point in the Arthur, I swear I could detect movement in the Main Stand when Gayle equalised. Wife beating may be socially acceptable in Sheffield, but it is a different matter in Cheltenham

Let's hope the new fans self-select as people that want to add to the atmosphere rather than just observe. I was in my seat on Monday and at Chelsea just where I have been for the last 16 years and yes the atmospheres were great. I just think in general the atmosphere this year hasnt been as good. I think its been a shame that when its been hard going the atmosphere hasnt been as good as only 3/4 years ago we were in admin, playing dreadful football but atmosphere was always good. Like I say, we have had games this season where the atmosphere has been very good, liverpool especially was extremely loud but just consistently I dont think it's been as good that's all. ...and it's up to all the fans in the ground who want to keep that noise to actually do it and not just sit there and wonder where it's gone! The above 2 posts correct, the atmosphere has dipped to previous seasons overall, anyone compairing the atmosphere when we are winning matches to previous years to me aren't getting whats special about Selhurst matches Last season think back to how we came from behind against cardiff and burnley, remember the sheff weds game, that was the turning point for me at selhurst, awesome support. Against Liverpool I felt it for the first time this season on that level, our fans were on it as soon as the first goal went in for us and looked what happened. Its the soul of the club, it would be a sad day if we dropped off but im confident the AW and HF will keep the noise going we're the Arthur, we're the Arthur, we're the Arthur over here! Positive!

I can't imagine it will be an issue for sometime to come. We have a nice balance of youthful fans and old timers. The HF will probably grow older and less vocal, but be replaced by new young fans. We'll never be a team that expects to win, or a 'fashionable' club ala Fulham etc. "One Nation Under God, has turned into One Nation Under the Influence of One Drug" [Link]

It will be my 30th year coming to Selhurst next year and the atmosphere has had it's ups and downs along the way, some games have been exceptional this season as mentioned the Chelsea game and in particular the end of Liverpool. I have a season ticket with my 10 year old boy in block X of the Arthur near enough where I stood when I first came to Selhurst. I sing my heart out much to the annoyance of the tourists who sit near me for the odd game, I don't understand their attitude it's not that I am swearing all the time or being abusive, that is the only negative from this season. Have to say the HF have been superb getting things going and my boy Nathan thinks they are the best thing since sliced bread lol. Hope the atmosphere can keep growing next season. Just love where our club is on and off the field at the moment ...

I've sat in the Arthur three times this season, and the most recent game I went to - against Villa - was the loudest. Hopefully that's a sign that the atmosphere will continually improve. So long as the newer/more casual fans don't dilute the Holmesdale/Arthur, which are the main sources of atmosphere, we'll be fine.

My 'gripe' will be if we do start attracting 'new' or have returning 'old' fans that it limits the opportunty for tickets even more - commitmenst mean I will only get to around 10 games a season at home - 12 if I am lucky so season ticket not an option Its hard enough now and a bit of a scramble Loving Block Y of the Arfur this season though Edited by The Sash (07 May 2014 1.03pm) As far as the rules go, it's a website not a democracy - Hambo 3/6/2014
