I actually felt quite sorry for them! I remember that one I think one of the Chester fans was in a wheel chair. I to felt sorry for them even thought they should of moved them undercover, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Humble Realist Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 I've been quick to put people in their place talking about how quiet opposition fans were or 'How loud our fans were ' when it doesn't ring true but last night was excellent. Very loud throughout despite not much to shout out on the pitch. Has been the same mich of the season. Should be a great atmosphere next Saturday as Leeds fans are always excellent and I'm sure we wont dissapoint! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 Thought the crowd were great last night. 18k for a game like Burton is fantastic and we made plenty of noise too, considering it was a 0 - 0 draw. Always prefer to see the away end a bit fuller as it adds to the atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really not that hard, you don't need premiership football, just an atmosphere and some teenagers that they look up to. Again, getting into a club has nothing to do initially with 'football'. This is where modern football gets it wrong by thinking that you will win kids over by making them sit still for 90 minutes and watch boring football. They'll learn to do that in time but initially it's the buzz and excitement. Very true. My young boy and his mate (the mate has only recently taken an interest in City) were in tears laughing at the guys behind us in the Dolman and the atmosphere created by the singing section and the blocks on each side was excellent. 0-0 against a team who came to park the bus and a ref that ruined the game however my son and his mate had a great time and loved it. Fans did well again last night. If only the goal had been allowed as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 Thought the crowd were superb. As @Redcliffe1990 rightly said when there was going nearly 10 minutes with the Flint chant that was brilliant. Best atmosphere of the season to date?

One thing the club/BS can't or won't get right. get a season ticket and pay about £19 a game like the 13500 who took up the offer if you don’t want to pay the £34. The club got that right!!!

I know it is a necessity owing to lack of numbers. Doormen as stewards... Different skill set needed mostly IMO. Seems not to have caused many issues generally touch wood.

In the old standing east end before seats circa 1978 home to Arsenal or before, sometimes they put kids on shoulders. I just loved being there. Used to go into the 'players bar' with my dad. I've no idea how he seemed to know so many people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a night game v Rotherham under GJ when we were flying and they were rooted at the bottom and hadn`t won in weeks. It was pouring with rain and it looked like they only had about fifty in the EE. Needless to say, they won 2-0 - Earl Jean got both IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
