Well unless you try to make an atmosphere at the Showgrounds your self you shouldn't criticize. But I do agree with you it should be like thatQuote:

Fair play to the derry supporters, they brought their own irish drum thing and the support sounded excellent (and irish)
and dont forget they had about 4-5000 there
Great atmosphere, there was alot of expletives heard on Rte all the chants were coming through...
In 1994 we had an atmosphere to rival the best in the Land. The novelty of the floodlights, the large crowds & the fact we were been convincingly entertained on the pitch week in-week out allowed supporters to be in a confidant mood & this reverberated around the Stadium. 2005: The crowds are not coming back yet & the Fans are too nervous to be excited. If we were beating teams with more conviction then the confidence would grow & the showground’s Buzz would return. I am sure of it. Cause I have never seen the Buzz as Bad. At the Dublin City game a few weeks ago we had two groups singing (one with a drum) one crowd continuously abused the other, Silly carry on!
There is a mini civil war among some of the fans and it effects the atmosphere in the showgrounds. Critisising each other over the best way to make an atmosphere. very petty..
I couldn't give a buck about getting up other fans noses I pay my entrance fee and say what I want during the match. I'm not a big signer but will give vocal encouragement to the players during the game.
I hope our supporters aren't going to start acting like PSG fans :(Quote:

At the away games all Rovers fans who have travelled seem to be more willing to sing and shout.
Now with the bigger crowd at the home games, because Rovers have the largest home gate in the division by far, it would be great if there could be some effort at getting an atmosphere - like the Dublin City away games or the Galway United away games.
agreed,more of 'us against them' attitude on the roadQuote:

I could be lynched for this observation but my opinion on why our away support is better that our home is because it's the real die-hards that travel to the away games and usually they congregate in the same part of the ground. In the showgrounds each have their own vantage point.Quote:

At the end of the day supporters will now go to the vantage point they have become accustomed and because of this the away support will always be better.
What we need is a leader, a father figure that people will be attracted to and want to be beside at games. Frazer Browne was such a character in bygone days, is there such a person now following the Rovers? Recently I watched a program on Sky Sports on supporters that travel to away games across England and an elderly man from the south-east of London was the character they focused in on. He supports Milwall and the other supporters know him as grandad. He starts off all the chants and the songs, he's a real character.
Do we have such a character ??

I have a feeling that the atmosphere against Pats is going to be very poor no matter how many is at the game :(Quote:

Now I don't know their personal situations but why don't those lads stand together and sing in the Showgrounds???? The whole inter necine stuff is ridiculous. We're top of the league, pushing for the title and the atmopshere is ****e at home!! It should be a 12th man like it was back in 94...
i actually meant between Rovers fans and the opposition fans :(Quote:

Hopefully we'll have a bus up to the showgrounds in october and i guarantee if were there we'll get an atmosphere going with the drums and a bit of colour. ;)Quote:
