There was a piece in The Times today (not the first and it won't be the last) about how fans are finding the London Stadium experience souless, unwelcoming (etc). Results are clearly connected. Why, apart from being tightwads, did Sullivan and Gold not redevelop the Boleyn Ground? Sounds like a complete mess.

It's a fecking football pitch. The players should know how to play on it.

True.

Agree with @Marmion, though I think there is some truth in @StuAff's article. Obviously a different scale, but Rugby Park's utterly crap atmosphere has long been cited as one of many reasons for our dismal home form.

The main one, of course, is that we are pish.

Oh I don't know, you've got at least one vocal and lively fan - the absolute bellend who went mental at our players during the play off before being huckled out and leaving his young son bawling his eyes out.

The twice I've been to Rugby Park, our end was sold out and it was bouncing. Pity about the results though.

It wasn't possible to expand Upton Park significantly without demolishing half the neighborhood, so I don't blame them for the move. They've also put a lot of money into the team this year, and there are far too many expensive players under performing.

Ah, Gordon Sawyers. An absolute balloon. He's been banned until January.

Too true. Seems to have worked out as rotten both on and off the pitch though.

Exactly. Play exciting football and the atmosphere will take care of itself no matter what the ground is like.

I can't see Bilic lasting the week out.

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

Not a good day.

Hibs got beat 4-2 by Sellic.
Forfar got pumped 5-0 at home by Ayr.
In the amateur game, our game was called off due to a waterlogged pitch.

Look how decisive they were with Avram Grant!

We are so screwed.

Koeman must be under severe pressure now after today's debacle

Agreed. Though I've kind of thought that since he signed last season's worst keeper for £30m.
