Seriously embarrassing
Leeds support "is this a library" over & over
Valid too
I've never been to CC, it's on the bucket list, but I've always wondered this - how loud does it get? Are there Fulham chants even sung anymore? Seems like the place only gets loud when we're doing good or losing late. Genuinely curious!
Shush.....don't tap your keyboard so loud.
According to several on here this is a nothing game. I'm away on hols or I would have gone but obviously a lot of supporters also are the view that this game doesn't mean much.
I used to a loud Hammersmith end but on TV it sounded like we were ilent - acoustics are awful.

Hammy is half empty, not a murmur coming from the Fulham support
One could argue that Leeds supporters have nothing better to do with their lives
Cracking game tho, really enjoying it and wish I was there
Our support is a joke tho
Having gone to these types of games so many times, its seriously annoying.
There's probably 50 Fulham fans that live in West Yorkshire but there is probably at least 10'000 Leeds "fans" that live in London and Home Counties. This will be many of they're only game of the season. Its the same as Liverpool, Man U etc.
Its basically party time for them. For us, there is no glamour in playing Leeds, we might as well playing Milton Keynes, its about exciting as that. In fact, there's almost certainly 100 fans in the Leeds end that live in MK and this is there big night.
Having said all that. I do feel bad I didnt go as the Leeds fans are seriously annoying. That orchestrated singing stuff is naff.
Thing is mate. Proper Leeds fans won't be singing about our support as they will understand we're on a hiding to nothing.
Also, proper FFC fans wouldn't be slagging our fans either.
Plus most of em London whites so it's their big day out
Probably half of em have never been to Elland road

Its worse on TV as the singing is at the back of the Hammersmith end mainly. Trust me, they will be making noise up there. Its just not as big a deal as it is for the Leeds fans, for reasons explained. Our away support is really good. Away support is traditionally far better than home support

Thanks, yeah I've always thought the away support is brilliant. Home support, in terms of what I can hear on streams, just doesn't ever seem loud - or any type of chanting going on. Maybe it's the audio balance of the presentation, but I was genuinely curious.

Not at all. Our supporters and especially the Hammy End make some decent noise. Not the very loudest, I'd agree, but as good as the home support at plenty of away games I've been to over the years.
I did hear some Fulham chanting when we were attacking, and the Leeds fans had gone a bit quiet, in the second half, but, yes, it's true that Fulham fans are comparatively pretty quiet, and two, away fans are the most committed fans - look at the noise made by Fulham fans at Birmingham the other week, you couldn't hear the home fans.
Also Leeds have a lot of fans in London - people who are working or studying down here , and long term exiles, a lot of fans.
Not really like the Man U and L'pool London fans, who've never even been to these cities, for Leeds aren't in the glamour league of these clubs.
Though, I'm sure Leeds do attract a few random fans, with their Prem status, and manager, and their history - though how many remember that now?

It's weird because the atmosphere was fine in H5, guess the CC acoustics aren't up to much. And I agree 100% with 70's Pimlico, pretty much every Leeds fan will probably live within the M25 - every northern team has a hugely inflated away following when playing in London

Pretty sure it's been sung at every home game this season (speaking from experience as an attendee at most of them)
That's a myth you lads are on about —- most of the Leeds fans being local to us , you obviously never saw all their coaches on Fulham palace rd. I was in the hammy end and our bunch were making a noise just not as loud as them .

The Hammy End went missing tonight, both in numbers and in voice.
The loudest noise comes from an empty drum.

No. They have great support, of that there is no doubt. I obviously have no idea on the split but my guess would be about 50:50. That would make about 2500 hardcore and 2500 "locals". The average away attendance when they went up was 2900, which kind of backs this up.
I have no problem with it other than as a home fan its a bit of a wind up being the host to someone else's annual party. Liverpool are the worst for it though.
I didnt go, so I have no right to moan anyway and well done for those that went
For a packed out Putney end I thought they were mostly quiet, also enjoyed the hammy end noise and support. Don't believe everything you hear on TV.
Some reasonably decent noise from the back of H5 and adjacent side of H4 but that's never enough to reverberate around the ground.
There was an increasing number of empty seats in front of me 2nd half as people moved away after obtaining headaches from the noise I generated. 086.gif

If all our supporters were as negative as you we definetly would be a joke!
As someone who did bother going last night, I don't appreciate being called a joke or embarrassing. The Hammy End were fairly noisy but was never going to be noisier than the Putney end packed with Leeds fans.
It was a decent game too.

We're trying to compare the back of H5 to the whole of the Putney End.
I don't know if anyone has noticed but maybe someone sitting in the Puntney end could confirm, I'm pretty sure that the TV companies place those sausage like microphones on the ground in front of supporters for atmospherics, I've never seen one in front of the Hammy end but I wouldn't be at all surprised if there's one in front of the away fans. It seems odd that in my opinion the away fans can be heard louder at nearly all home games that are on the TV.
We had season tickets at the back of H6 until last year. Even though in our mid 50's we stood all game and sung and chanted with the yoof, as we always have. When speaking with the mainly lads, they advised that some were not able to attend mid week cup games as not covered by their season tickets, others because of travel costs and difficulty. Maybe this is a reason it was quiet, plus the Mrs and I not being there singing our hearts out!! 🤣🤣😂

Let me get this right....You haven't bothered to go and yet you are calling those that have gone a joke ???? Have I got that right ?

Our home support is up there with one of the quietest. I'd say Reading have worse home support, though. Probably Millwall too unless it's a big game with all the billy big bollocks turning up. I sat in the Putney end for the Reading game; first time I had done so in many years. Could hardly hear a peep from the fulham fans all game.
Our away support, however, is underrated imo. We have never really traveled well, but when we do, we tend to make some good noise.
We can make the place bounce on occasions,Hamburg,Juve and Derby play-off for example.Mind you we did have lots of vocal fans in the Putney End on those occasions.The new stand when the corners get filled may help the acoustics in the Hammersmith End.
Maybe it's time to make the Putney End the home end and put the away fans in the Hammersmith End in the blocks near Stevenage Road where the big gap is.

Well I had to miss the Reading game but we were singing it to the away supporters against Stoke.
To be fair most atmospheres are generally low key in league cup games
Is the lack of noise the reason MAF brought in clappers? I've sat all over the ground and I can only remember proper noise when I was a kid. As the years have passed we have less vocal support? Is that down to having better educated and respectful supporters now? lol.

Absolutely. Always thought the singers should set themselves up for one season in the Putney end right by the Cottage.
Its a win win. It would end the reputation of being quiet straight away and I think they'd enjoy it far more than stuck at the back of H5 and the view is far better
It would then encourage singing from all the other parts as well. The JH stand is ready to rock...it just needs some encouragement

Thats like asking Man u fans to move from the Stretford end. UNTHINKABLE Mr 70's
Someone mentioned those Europa games- against Hamburg and Juve (bar first ten mins) I don't think i've ever been in as noisy an atmosphere as those two games- including England matches, hundreds of aways and overseas games.
The new, sanitised, sit down formula of watching football doesn't exactly lend itself to noise or pockets of noise as well as terraces used to.
Dempsey's goal against Juve and Gera v Hamburg are without dought the best noise I've ever experienced at any football match in living memory. THE STUFF OF DREAMS.

Sitting miles back against galvanised steel sheeting where hardly anyone can hear you and you can hardly see the other goal, or standing proudly by our iconic cottage cheering the boys as they enter the pitch so they know we're behind them, creating huge noise heard by all parts of the ground that motivates all over parts to join in.
As I understand it, it used to be the home end back in the day. Mind you, I think both ends were home ends at one point as you just used to change at half time

That's less than both QPR and Brentford. If you take into account the huge Leeds following, it was a pretty poor turnout really
I cannot see it ever changing unfortunately, unless we rent a mob of a couple thousand very passionate singers with very loud voices.

Not sure they are better educated because if they were they would remember how to sing as it should be mandatory. Then again it has to come from within. Unfortunately we are never going to match the likes of Leeds, Palace for instance but we should do better at home.
Clearly the desire and appetite to sing your heart out for many is no longer there at home games, but I don't think it ever was compared to other clubs, although my memory tells me we were certainly louder than we are now.
So perhaps we come across as being a little aloof and stuck up.
Because what other reason is there for the lack of real vocal support at home games.
For me the positive is that there is a charm about Craven Cottage and our support that run in conjunction with each other, almost like cartoon land, cute and harmless in some ways, and to a certain extent it can calm hostility from brainless visiting supporters.
Whereas like many clubs away we are a completely different animal, far more battle hardened and passionate with a desire to make ourselves heard.
Reading at home are pussycats compared to ourselves so we cannot beat ourselves up about it.
It is what it is, and nevertheless the sight of Chelsea Rangers and Brentford fans at our ground will automatically raise the atmosphere to more volume and hostility to these rivals.
However, last night was a little embarrassing with hardly a murmur excluding the supporters who do their best to drum up some singing but a lot of our support are sleep walking in a comma for some odd reason and can't really be asked and that really should change if it were possible.

Have to say was disappointed with the attendance yesterday, loads of empty seats in Hammy End which is the noisiest of the ground so no surprise it felt quiet.
I always find away supporters are loudest, when I have been away we seem to make far more noise than some home fans so no surprise that with the entire Putney end filled they sounded loud. Had the ground been full it would have been very different.

So that was overdubbed then your telling me ?
Fans today seem often more like detached consumers, than the passionate fans of old who supported their club through thick and thin,, which I think reflects the way that football has changed since the advent of Sky money and the Prem, and co-current changes in society too.
Some of the things i read on here amaze me.

People gazing at their phones at a football match for example
What a strange thread, I'm not sure many of us follow FFC due to the amount of noise generated from the stands?
For the record, from someone who was sat near the Leeds fans, they were good value but certainly not singing for the full 90 minutes. I could hear the occasional chant Hammersmith End FWIW.
I should also add that the Enclosure started a couple of chants which is quite unusual.
I have a friend, ST holder, who didn't go due to the £20 cost which for such a game is rather high IMO.
