Me- I was at Liverpool, Kop End 2 years on the eve of the Kop Disaster anniversary.
Best minutes silence (for any event) I've ever seen and then belting out 'you'll never walk alone'

The best atmosphere I've ever experienced by a huge margin was when we won the division one play off final. I've seen England play at wembley several times but the atmosphere was nothing in comparison. The mexican waves were class. At 3-0 up it was incredible, then back at 3-3 very, very tense then ecstatic when we scored the penalty and just mental at the final whistle.   Nothing really comes close. I remember just jumping up and down on my seat at the end. I fell off at one point but I didn't give a toss I was so happy. |

In terms of Swindon fans making an atmosphere, probably Brentford or Notts County away in 95.
For the whole ground probably QPR away last year.

Mines a joint effort. Stoke away last game and Blackburn away playoff first leg in 1990 were something else. The atmosphere created by town fans was sheer class.We just didnt stop singing. We had about 3000 at Stoke and 4000 at Blackburn. The noise we generated in those games was awesome. It almost brings a tear to the eye just thinking about it. I think everyone knew something special was happening that season. Did anyone else go to those games?
Fucking football league. I fucking still hate them now for what they did to us. I think we may of established ourselves in the top flight if we weren't demoted that season.

vs Brighton, first leg of the play-offs had a brilliant atmosphere last season and Theres allways a good atmosphere in the away end when we go to bristol city To be honest I don't have many memories of games when there has been a really good atmosphere. When I'm older I'm sure I will have. Most of you have been a swindon fan through the premiership days though,I havent  |

The best atmoshere ever has got to be Birmingham 4 Swindon 6. The noise of the home fans at 4-1 to them was unbearable but when we came back, that is truely one match that I will never ever forget. The Tranmere away play off game was very special too, as was wembley. If I had to put them in order in terms of atmosphere though it would be
1. Birmingham
2. Tranmere
3. Wembley
1993 will never be beaten, I wish it could be but that was the greatest season ever.

I saw AC milan v Juventus in 1998 which was quite a tasty atmosphere, but I think you always feel it more if you emotionally involved with one of the teams so I would say
1993 play off final
England 4 Holland 1 Euro 96
England 2 Jocks 0 Euro 96

saw Juve win their 26th title a few years ago, which was a mental atmosphere. conversely, Juve were also my worst atmosphere... attendance of 851 at the Stadio delle Alpi for a Coppa Italia game!!!

Swindon v Sunderland at Wembley in 1990, the way we held on after going 1-0 up was amazing! The sound was incredible!

Don't remember us exactly hanging on we absolutely mullered them...must have been the most one sided 1-0 in Wembley history. Agree about the atmosphere......but I suppose I'd have to go for the 69 final. |

If we're talking Swindon then Brighton away PO semi was immense
The 2 back to back 3-0s at Luton and Wycombe were sweet
