54-46 Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 Pretty sure our fan base is no different to any other I think it’s human nature to be quicker to moan about things than give praise - people are quick to write to companies to complain about poor service etc yet rarely return the compliment if something goes well Similarly, Mrs 54-46 all to frequently let’s me know when I’ve done something that displeases her yet hardly heaps praise on me when I’m well behaved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it you monitored every league clubs forum every week for a season to be able to make such a revelation. theres as many moaners as happy clappers.....and no different to any other football club Quite right I have lived in a number of British cities and trust me every football club has its glass half full and glass half empty brigade. City supporters are no less loyal or more loyal than any others. I'll even amaze you when I tell you the most loyal fans in the world, BRFC, even they are moaning at the moment! The only difference comes with massive overachievement or underachievement I.e. Sunderland fans have been very low for 2-3 years, Bournemouth fans have been high as a kite for 2-3 years.

AppyDAZE Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 Call me a proper eggplant all you want folks (no names, no sod it Emissionimpossible).. but you are well wrong if you ever think I want Bristol City Football Club to lose a football game to justify my forum comments about recent form being shite. Because let's face it, they HAVE been awful Tonight is the happiest i've been in ages and I send out a big thanks to LJ and the boys today.

It's been the same for as long as I remember, City fans seemingly love to moan. It's incredible really, but you're right. I don't even come on here when we lose anymore - always the same faces on here moaning... It's nice when we win, a quiet forum with opinions from people with a sane brain Blimey - you have the time to monitor the forums of all the 92 league clubs and all the non-league clubs in this country every day of the week after all their games to monitor every single fanbase’s reactions to every result?! Fair play, you must be able to do this to come to such a watertight conclusion as that.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just putting other things at the top of the pile. It's called "Prioritising". Although we can all do the Shankly joke, football isn't quite that serious compared with many other situations. As an aside, I was at Weston v Bath yesterday and some of the slagging and moaning from Barff fans as they slid to defeat was a joy to hear. We're all the same at all levels of the wonderful game. Have a good day Bob. @Bob Bob Super Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East End Old Boy Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 To be honest, I probably spend more time on here when we don’t win, to read opinions on why we failed to get 3 points. When we win it’s not so important to me to see opinions, except to laugh at the dustbin thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You did say there’s a negative reaction on here whenever we don’t get three points though....I think we aren’t that bad as a fan base when the team is struggling....just look at the campaign Newcastle fans launched to oust Alan Pardew as their manager....they had a dedicated website and actively campaigned through events and demonstrations to get him out...we ain’t that bad...and have a look at how fans react in Italy if you wanna see negativity! Which team was it over there that had to be rescued from their training ground by helicopters when angry fans besieged a training session?! Our lot have it easy really, Bristolians are pretty laid back as a rule and that largely applies to supporting their team at the moment too....good grief, we went through the worst run of defeats in our history recently together with seemingly never-ending runs of games without a victory....we just booed occasionally....it ain’t that bad to be a Bristol City player or manager....the natives just get a bit restless every now and again....

FFS. Another super fan post. It’s a ******* football forum FFS, people have views different to you. It was a very welcome win, I suspect the Brentford forum is saying, we should have been out of sight if we had taken our first half chances and then you would’nt needed to have posted at all.

Different from "moaning," which we are uniquely adept at. Apparently. Funny this, because when I listen to Radio phone ins on national radio, it is always chock full of supporters of all sorts of clubs moaning on and on about their team, their club, their owners, their manager, their keeper etc etc. And it never seems to be Bristol City fans on the wireless, unless it's @Curr Avon or someone. And he only moans on Radio Bris, not on 5 live! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
