FTG Also that they are not good with maths. Has it occurred to them that the lower their home gates get, if their away support remains constant the ratio goes up? Effectively celebrating those shite home gates then. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is that this is a thread aimed entirely at ridiculing that lot, there is no need for self-appraisal. Just wave or wiggle your willy at them. It seems healthy enough. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we have fans that regularly say we need a bigger Stadium even though we rarely sell out? Maybe just me, but they do seem to be properly obsessed with the numbers, and now they are being shown up they say "ah, yeah but look at the percentage up against our home games", and as stated on here, that just proves how shocking their home attendances truly are. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearing in mind they're nailed on for promotion and will be Prem league in 2 years I am a bit surprised, but I guess there's problems with rail strikes and weather and it's difficult moving 10s of thousands of people in and out of Yorkshire on a Tues evening so I think the mocking is a bit uncalled for. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that every one of them had a totally miserable night, watching their "heroes" get rinsed by a team, who, were barely good enough to be described as abject in the championship last season. All this coming a few days after their manager stated that "everything they do is championship standard" - lovely stuff! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, it was the first time in 4 years they get to play Barnsley away, and only the 2nd time in 20+ years. There should be extra interest. In that time we've played there 16/17 times.

Absolutely. At least we only lost 2-0 to a team who were barely good enough to be described as abject in the championship last season. I shall have to come back to you with a description of our level when we lost 2-0 back in March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only ever see the opposite from our fans. Don't think I’ve ever seen a City fan claim we have amazing away support in that w@nky way Gasheads do on a regular basis? City fans will either rage on Social Media about us taking 600 somewhere OR try to give a reason why the numbers may be low for particular fixtures. Gasheads will celebrate taking 600 away and claim they’re the envy of clubs up and down the land with such ‘huge’ numbers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies, although it wasn't clear reading my post, I did mean it for the "stay in the kitchen" comment in the post I quoted.

In the same time we've travelled to Oakwell 17 times, It's a new ground to a whole generation of the Blue Few yet we generally visit there most years so the idea of a day out at The Tarn is hardly a novelty to us! For me any fan that travels away on a Tuesday deserves a round of applause as it takes a lot of commitment with time off work, travel cost etc! Edit to say i've just saw @1960maaan made the same point earlier! Edited August 19, 2022 by HIGHRIDGE BCFC 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does make a difference Exactly 1960 alot of the places they go to when they take 20,000 and above are either new grounds to them or grounds they rarely visit , also unbelievably there club is on the so called up so there’s a feel good factor about the place of course there so called great support is exciting the poor darlings . here’s the difference Portsmouth away to them and there all creaming in there pants , 20 years ago Pompey for us was decent use to enjoy a little chase around the terraced streets , if we had Pompey now wouldn’t be that high on my agenda , not bad but wouldn’t be lording it like the gas are .
