Chivs Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 2 hours ago, Blagdon red said: It's a fan initiative and they're charging 1900 cents, as 1900 was the year that the club was founded. All profits are going to charity and the cut-outs (made of 'Forex' not cardboard) will remain in place for as long as games are played behind closed doors. Thereafter the fans can have their cut-out as a souvenir, if they wish. They've currently sold nearly 10,000 and are hoping to eventually fill the ground. Personally, I actually think it's quite a cool idea. But while the talk here is of playing games on neutral grounds, it would be a non-starter for us (although I have had the concept priced up). Fair dos, but will you charge 1894 pence or 1897? #Controversial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're reading a lot into one flippant post here. Frequently when I go to AG - I'm not a season ticket holder as I'm in London but usually sit in the South Stand when I do go - there is a middle aged man sat behind me loudly and inaccurately critiquing the performance of whatever player he has picked out that week. At away games this season (notably Brentford), the same has happened too. That was literally the beginning and end of the meaning of my post.

I hope Rovers are given a handicap if that is the case. It's not fair if others are adapting to a situation they've been used to for years...

If it happens with ten minutes to go in the match and half the Dolman stand cut outs quickly vacate the arena, it will definitely add to the realism.

But if they can get an audio recording of a moaning middle aged man loudly berating a randomly allocated player every single week then we're in business.

Floatn Over Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 How far into the post match interview before.... "We just couldn't get going today and that resulted in the atmosphere becoming rather flat which didn't help" Also who pays for the cardboard cut out stewards ? An interesting idea though.

City oz Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 23 hours ago, The Horse With No Name said: On the news this morning, a German club is filling a stand, or the stadium with cardboard cut outs of people, but they are inviting fans to send a photo of themselves so that it can be enlarged and placed on the head of the cut out, to make it appear that you are there for the behind closed doors games. Would anyone buy one if City did similar, and how much would you be happy paying? They should get a bulk discount price. After all dont they all the look the same any way in Germany.
