Bernard Lerring Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 The most fun at the Gate for a looooong time. We Don't always show that kind of support (the same couldn't be seen at the forest game), but you could almost visibly see how the crowd dragged the team over the line today. Just seen that the atmosphere at the end got a special mention on the Quest highlights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blimey, other people starting chants. shall we get the medals out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WessexPest Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 I don’t blame the fans one iota for the boos and catcalls halfway through the first half - it was unacceptable. Their support got us over the line in the end - were truly our twelfth man today. Kudos to everyone there from this poor exile. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it certainly made a change that all the crowd joined in with them, rather than the East End shouting them down with their own chants like kids throwing their toys out of the pram. While we're at it, it pisses me off when they ask other parts of the ground to bounce around, and then boo them no matter how well they respond. ******* "superfans". Oh and while I am on a roll, I think they have been responsible for this bad run of results by tempting fate every time we have been winning. You all know what I mean........ "How shit must you be we're winning at home" .......... Cue the equaliser/winner from the opposition. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 That last 10-15 minutes was excellent. Helped massively and probably dragged us over the line. Red Army on loop as others mentioned- always preferred it to COYR for some reason, it's a bit more rousing. I digress, great work by all- if that last 15 mins could be bottled... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slack Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 Can we do this again every time we need to grind out a result? (Not expecting if we are 3-0 up/or down) Hell, we all know it's going to be a battle every game, but let's do it again and again and again. If it gets us home wins. Our home record can be helped by all of us and damn did it feel like we all earnt the final whistle. Red Army 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly rocket science is it, a handful of lads trying in a corner of the ground most games, as you have proven if others make an effort too, instead of being sat in complete silence most games the difference is massive. Not really anything to do with super fans is it, it’s always been the same. Edited October 31, 2021 by S25loyal 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topper 123 Posted October 31, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2021 It’s been said many times on here before , the support is need from the start to get the team pumping but everyone needs to be in right mood ie boring music in concourse before games sending people to sleep .The music as we left was brilliant people all around ground singing ONE STEP BEYOND come on city liven the ground up a few tribute bands at different points of ground ie oasis etc and please please address the awful beer / lager Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFCGav Posted October 31, 2021 Report Share Posted October 31, 2021 I can barely remember an atmosphere like that, we were awesome in that last 10. I’m vocal when the people around me are quiet, it was so fun seeing all fans old and young get totally swept away in the moment. I think yesterday will last long in the memory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"How shit must you be we're winning at home" .......... Cue the equaliser/winner from the opposition. As someone relatively new to the "new" EE having moved there this season it's quite an interesting place and not what it seems from the outside. There's no shouting down of others chants, you can't hear any of them TBH - there seems to be about 5 different places songs start from in the corner and at any one time the EE might have 3 different songs going at the same time, it's really only the drum or megaphone that brings it all together. If your outside you would only hear the ones that get to 3 or more of these smaller groups. I don't think anyone in there thinks of themselves as superfan, that would be something others project on to them because they are the noisy singers, from what I have seen they mostly like having fun, want to create/enjoy the atmosphere and want to enjoy the football (mostly in that order). Booing other parts of the ground is stupid but it's very much part of the type of humour I think - tongue in cheek, self depreciation, gallows humour much like the "how shit must you be" song but in the context of the order of preference of fun, atmosphere then football it kind of makes sense if a bit counter productive, same as the same Joey Barton songs 5 mins into the game. Having moved there from the middle of the SS I certainly prefer it to having some obnoxious moaning old bloke sat behind me that thought he was the next next Andy Gray but knew **** all about football. Despite the results this season I have always walked away having enjoyed myself more if also a little horse. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS3rich Posted October 31, 2021 Report Share Posted October 31, 2021 (edited) Wish it could be how it was in the last 10-15 mins every game for the entire game. Let’s start getting the Gate rocking again! It’s so much more fun..it’ll make a massive difference on the pitch so Come On Fellow City Fans !

I thought so too - slightly more than for the Forest game which I find surprising because a) Forest brought more fans and b) I wouldn’t blame City fans for not wanting to go again for a very long time after that horror show. Wasn’t so very long ago that would have been a full house at AG and we’d have no chance of getting that many for a midseason game against a poor side with low numbers following them away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pezo, you sum it all up perfectly for that area, it’s the same now as it was when the east end was reopened with that “image”. In reality it’s nothing like what people assume, even the booing people take seriously for some reason. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite the results this season I have always walked away having enjoyed myself more if also a little horse. Yes to be fair my comments (apart from the "how shit must you be" stuff) was more of a response to the annoying negativity from other posters. The stuff about shouting down other chants was more about previous seasons so I take that back. I am right on the edge of the singing section but even from there, myself or others around us have prompted some chants. It's something I have often found fascinating, why sometimes an individual shout will become a chant and yet often it can just fall on deaf ears. I'll bet there is a paper somewhere that someone has done for their dissertation sometime on just that phenomena. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
