A Nottingham Forest fan’s rant about modern atmospheres in Premier League stadiums has gone viral, and many supporters will likely agree with her… 🗣️ “They don’t want us. They don’t want loyal fans. We’re cheaper, we’re worse behaved, and we’re not just going to sit pretty and clap. We’re fans, we’re real. It’s our life, it’s our community. These are just excuses and we can’t give in to them. And I don’t think it’s a countrywide issue, I think it’s a Premier League issue. The Championship—I don’t want to go back down, I don’t want to jinx it—but the atmosphere was so good, I miss it. The banter between stands, the fact that we were actually singing. You go to—no offence, and you’re not going to like this—but you go to Anfield and it’s dry. You can hear things through the tannoy. All we hear when we go to Chelsea or Arsenal is one song, because it’s just tourists. It is just tourists. We are the product. We pay the wages at the end of the day. I know literally it’s not us, but why do broadcasters want to broadcast football? Because there are fans. Without fans, there is no football.”
