This comment is also quite funny, what did this 'benefits chav' do to upset you so much? All I saw him do on Saturday was have a good time and enjoy himself like 99% of the others in the stand.

Guest Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 In all the time I have supported City there has been an element of support that has wanted to sing and chant. All clubs pretty much have this element amongst their support, how those clubs, and our club in particular manage this element is really what this discussion should be about. I believe there is a distinct leaning amongst the clubs hierarchy to move away from the apparent organisation of vocal support toward a more general kind of support that manifests itself for instance when we score a goal, or are attacking for a sustained period, and that vocal support comes from pretty much all of the stadium. there is no question the club has sought to control where the 'singers' are placed, and since the demise of the EE that has been so far as the club is concerned where they can be easily policed and out of the way so to speak. Firstly stuck in the corner of the Williams where amazingly they were permitted to stand, probably the most dangerous place to stand in the entire ground as it was then. Now numbers reduced and shoved into the furthest corner of the ground as far away from the prawn sandwich brigade and family section as possible. The next move will be to give the whole of the Atyeo to away supporters, something that on every level would have been the sensible thing to do when the ground redevelopment was completed. The reason that wasn't done was simply because the numbers that would have needed to be relocated were too large, and there was a danger that moving the group to another part of the stadium may have encouraged others to join them, something the club doesn't want. As it stands some members of the S82 group are doing themselves no favours with the rest of the supporters with some of their behaviour, and it will only take one or two incidents next season when away supporters take up their full allocation for the club to be able to justify handing over the stand wholly to away fans the season after on the grounds of health and safety, the S82 group will then be dispersed amongst the other three stands and that will be that. It will be interesting to see how the club plays things if we are drawn at home in the FA cup, will they allow standing anywhere in the stadium, or only in the top tier of the new stand? Or will they strictly impose a no standing rule, something that they won't be able to do with the away supporters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think as adults who are responsible for looking after the welfare of children we all have a duty to protect them from older people who are unable to refrain from using unacceptable language and or threatening behaviour. We shouldn't wrap our children in cotton wool, neither should we expose them to excesses of language or behaviour unnecessarily. There would be no need to explain away those excesses if the young people weren't exposed them, presumably this is the reason for the club promoting the family section.

Overreaction?…well, I got up and moved and a couple of days later posted on here. So no, not a massive reaction of any sort. I travel a 100 mile round trip to watch the football…to watch Bristol City play…not dodge screwed up paper pellets being flung about by grown men acting like naughty kids in a classroom. And this football ground vs library nonsense…dear me…I'm all for a bit of noise to encourage the players, but I actually like to follow the game, which requires some concentration.

cidercity1987 Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 As an Atyeo season ticket holder: The name is shit, really cringey for many reasons. I want to be part of a group who sing and support loudly. I dont want my language censored but calling your own fans Tuesdays is a step too far and I dont fancy being charred with that brush. I would take my (admittedly non existent) child in there, good parenting will see they dont copy behaviour. Wondering where in AG fits that criteria? Maybe the away end.

They seem to be doing ok as they are. There's quite a nice little atmosphere going on in the SS now which will hopefully continue to grow next year.

Webzcas Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Section 82 from my spot in the family section s25 in the South Stand, have helped generate a good atmosphere this season. The only thing I don't like is the very audible chanting with the C U Next Tuesday word in it, especially when my 8 year old boy has been with me. I don't understand even the point of this thread.

WTMS Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Webzcas it seems to be that a group of fans have got themselves together. Improved the atmosphere and made a stand more colourful. They have not been involved in anything negative and somehow are getting slagged off for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingcider Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 In the old East End you would have chants of Knowle West ,replied to by another section of the East End with ,Fowl Pest,this is one of the printable ones ! I think people worrying about the c chant are being a bit precious. The idea of going to football is to have a good time,if some of the younger ones in the Atyeo are a bit exuberant,good luck to them. Anything they do to improve the atmosphere has to be a good thing. We all support City in our own way,stupid slagging each other off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who are you referring to and what have they done that you find objectionable? The individuals I know involved are raising money and then spending it on supporting Bristol City via the Atyeo stand. Is that worthy of being labelled a bellend, or are you referring to somebody else? What appears to be happening is that a small group are being blamed for very little due to another small part of fandom chanting a naughty word, and then a thousand are condemned.

Probably will find myself in a minority, but I wish we eschewed flags of St George when choosing designs and styles of flags and banners to wave.
