054123 Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 One of my favourite videos of City on YouTube. We didn't need a ridiculously loud announcer, needless music, just a packed Ashton Gate. I know it won't happen, as football is different these days, but imagine if everyone was in 10 mins before just beltong out 'come on you reds' with random out bursts of 'bring on the city'. Last time it felt a little like it was against Rovers in the East end. The sininging whilst wiring outside, and just listening to the noise the other side of the fencing.

Hampshire Red Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 Looking e the idea for many reasons: we have time to sort it The Televised games usually have empty grounds 15 mins before K. O so we can make it very different and part of the commentary We all want to be parked very early and in the ground spending money in the ground rather than battling with traffic issues We did a good job v Palace We should make our atmosphere different from other clubs/ grounds eg the bounce, old songs other TV watchers will recognise eg Bring on the City, I smell a smell, if you all hate Rovers clap yer hands, we will follow the City, 90s songs, Walk On, etc Time to get song sheets and a 7.30 arrival out on social media to pack all of the ground We don't want empty seats at kick off on TV We know enough commentators to give us a good Big Up and reference One Team (of relevance) in Bristol etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidered abroad Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 The pre match atmosphere everywhere has died because of all seated stadia where fans wait in the concourse chatting and drinking. Will it return? Unlikely so if fans want an atmosphere, we have to get in there earlier than we now do. And cut out the crap music over a tannoy system that we cant understand.

Mr Popodopolous Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 Bristol traffic notwithstanding, the ideal should be ground as full as possible 10, 15 mins pre game. Sing, chant- make as much noise as you can. The last excellent one was the Bristol derby of 2013 IMO. Tremendous- wouldn't it be great if football was like that every week? And please if you're reading this @Mkelly consider cutting out pregame music, especially for that one. It can really dull, dilute, perhaps kill an atmosphere.

wendyredredrobin Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 15 minutes of "You'll never walk alone" before the match sounds good to me. Back in the days of Gerry Gow and Norman Hunter, it was more like "You'll never walk again" though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Constant Rabbit Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 In addition to noise what I want to see is a City player - ANY City player crash in to the first tackle with as much grunt as possible. A big shin scraping, elbow in ribs clattering that will leave the Manure 'ucker gasping. Worth a bolloxing from the ref. "So mate - you are on 50K a week - you're going to bloody well earn it tonight" Put the fear of god into them, and watch them fold like a soggy pack of cards. Most of their players won't want to know after that. Just the once - but scare the bejesus out of them, and then play the football we are capable of playing. I suspect quite a few of the manure team will be more concerned about not getting hurt, than the quarters of a comp, that if they reach the final, they will be replaced with a much more senior first 11.

Just my 2p Unfortunately, there is no ref these days that allows any hint of a physical game go unpunished. Especially not when you have the fairies of the prem up against it. They'll be like bambi on ice all night if we try that and the ref will buy every single 'foul'. The game will be a whinge-fest and very stop start.

Offside Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 Great video. The noise was ear-splitting in the East End that day. Completely agree that pre-match music, especially at the high volume it’s usually played at, can completely kill an atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
