That can't be true, they sell out everywhere they go, and it's only about 90 minutes down the road. Bet the M5 is packed with blue and white scarves flying out from the windows......

Most probably stopped at Bridgewater services and stayed because they felt at home in that Sh*thole

Personally believe that Downsy needs to shut up at least 5 mins before kick off. Especially when its a big game, both sides are singing their heart out and you cant hear fck all because hes shouting.

Get rid of that crap galvanise song before kick off aswell

Just to clarify, the word about rails being installed was me PRIVATELY messaging the owner of the ‘ABLOCK’ instagram. His exact words were, and I quote ‘Rails getting put in’ suggesting the obvious. He has also suggested that the group have had several meetings with the club regarding this. This is not official news.

All kicked off tonight then

All seems to ultimately be a great example of club and fans listening to each other and working together to accommodate things.

Yeh true. Especially considering the group who started the movement are in there late teens I believe.

I was thinking along the same lines, whose Instagram?

Owner of the page, not actually the ABLOCK instagram. However he has confirmed privately now to me that they have reached an agreement with the club for the rails to be put there.

Who's Instagram? 

Just seen the instagram, safe standing rails being put up in the block. Interesting considering in the FAQs they mentioned no persistent standing

Does Weimann offer anything apart from running and pointing at the same time?

George tanner in the england squad please

Think that kaba is gunna keep them up. Ngl they are still an awful team but think Lambouchi plays some decent football and has enough to keep them up imo.

No. I don’t accept that. I don’t have to deal with it. Are you saying all forms of discrimination are acceptable within the context of a football match or just casual sexism and misogyny? 
 

What an appalling statement. 

Dont think he quite meant it in that way mate. Bit extreme

Naismith back in? Scott and Kalas? If tomas comes back in, does Dasilva get dropped after 2 very good performances?

Thoughts?

Im in S82 and the decent chants about gas ie ‘My old man said be a rovers fan…’ dont get sung enough as they are only really known to the older generation, not the 500 15 year olds that are in there! That tractor one is abysmal. I do like the chants where there is a tune to it, like scotts or dasilvas, especially when the whole section is bouncing.

This one gets wheeled out every week from the corner of the south stand and it’s an absolute embarrassment that has no place in football stadiums…or anywhere else in fact. It’s abhorrent. 
Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy some of the more good humoured chants levelled at the opposition, but this goes too far for me. Have I sung inappropriate songs at football before? Yes. When I first started attending games as a teenager back in the early 90s I was influenced by what I heard around me and joined in. Do I regret that? Yes. But I was a product of what I was surrounded by…I didn’t know any better.

I now take my own son to watch City and whilst I accept there will be plenty of colourful language for him to hear, I make a point of talking loudly to him when chants like this are happening, in attempt to drown it out. I don’t want him to think it’s in any way acceptable to repeat that chant or think it’s ok to level that accusation, whether in jest or otherwise, at a woman. He is taught to respect women and he calls out misogynistic behaviour when he witnesses it. 
 

As a club with a successful women’s team and a large number of female supporters, isn’t it about time we stopped this chant? 

It aint clever but they got one about nige being a pedo

What we're the rest of the words to that song? Love hearing that he's getting some love from the stands

Something tells me im into to something good

It's a fair point. They don't seem to make a song and dance about their signings either. Their purchase of Jamie Bynoe-Gittens from Reading was a little under the radar. 

Came from man city after a spell at Reading I think

He’s capable of playing anywhere across the front line decently, and a viable option. That makes him a good utility player no?

Barry Bannan would get in a lot of people's top 10 Championship midfielders let alone League 1.

 

All 33 years old of him

We need to make sure we dont make the same mistake that we did with Webster in selling so late. We 100% need an attacking minded midfielder, and in my opinion 2 defensive ones as Williams is very injury prone, King is unlikely to stay beyond this year as a player, and James needs legs ideally next to him. Really like Oxfords Brannagan and Bird and Knight from Derby
