RL may have had a little more in mind than how the fans were yesterday in his remarks on the official site:


"It was excellent,” the manager said, about the fans.

“I could hear them in the dressing room; we must have been right underneath them.

“They were loud and proud from right before they got in here.

“Then obviously the two goals give them something to keep cheering about.

The manager laughed: “Can we not just put them 1,500 somewhere at Deepdale? Maybe right behind the goal? I’m not too sure, but they were all fantastic so thank you from me and the players because it means a lot to us.

When it comes down to it, the atmosphere at home games comes down to one overriding factor - the performance of the team.

Give us something enjoyable to get behind and we'll shout like fuck, even if we go behind. But expecting us to keep going after such a poor run of performances and results at home (and not just this season either) - its just not going to happen.

Team and fans have to be connected. Away from home, where different attributes are often required to get a result (which this team has plenty of) is a different matter. But at home there is now barely any two-way relationship at all now. Properly take the game to teams, play with far more attacking intent (and a bit of flare and skill would be nice) and we will respond.

An away game is a different experience too - the travel, the different pre-match venues, the grounds, there's a lot of novelty there to enjoy even before the disappointing football starts.

Attending a home game is utterly routine in comparison. Same rituals every time. Nothing about the experience is exceptional (especially when you hit the tent and concessions). The football has to do a lot more work.
 
He's got a point tbf and I don't agree with him often. Home atmosphere has never been good at Deepdale as far as I can remember, nothing like an away game anyway. It needs all the fans who want to be vocal to be stood together, close to the away fans to create a decent atmosphere.

The club need to make it easier to switch to the Kop, most people can't be arsed ringing the club to swap their seat and then having to collect a paper ticket before the match starts. IF you could do it on MyPNE and it just switched your seat on your season/member card then I do think there would be a much bigger take up.
 
The atmosphere lacks this season at deepdale because we have been served up shit show after shit show!
Some truly gutless home “performances”
The Norwich one was the worst I’ve seen in a long while we showed virtually nothing in terms of any fight / passion

Sort it out Gaffa!!

Definitely doesn’t help but I don’t really remember us ever having a good home atmosphere other than for big games.
