What is wrong with some people, I'm all up for an atmosphere with a bit of needle but who thinks it's a good idea to weight a plastic glass full of coins an throw it.

Sure this can be merged elsewhere, but I couldn't find the typical bctv thread.

 

Does anyone else have issie with the pictures v sound. For weeks now the commentators are telling me what's going to happen 1-2 seconds before it actually happens. It's to the point at times you can hear goal celebrations before the ball is in.

Is this just a general issue or something i can change in settings (not literally the delay but the cause)?

I get it a fraction of a second not 1 or 2 seconds, it’s enough to be off putting.

Thought this comment from a Luton fan was interesting:

”I knew as soon as the talks for Bristol City were there he would be gone. Bristol are ruthless and get what they want”.

I wonder where that comes from, I don't recognise that in us.

It has made her mental health so much better. 

If she keeps going then that will have to be treated as easy come easy go.

Seriously though glad to hear it's working for her.

Agree with your concept, only exception is Morgan Gibbs White, I haven't seen enough of him to know how AS compares to be honest but Scott is just a special standout talent so my gut feel is he has to be at the top end of your bracket if not above

MGW moved from a prem club to a newly promoted prem club for £25m? that type of move wasn't explicitly covered but seems to fit close enough to a lower prem team buying someone.

I’m worried someone meets our £25M asking price. Time for a rethink 

Let’s wait a bit longer and take the £100m 

If only it worked like that. £100m to a prem club selling to a top 6 prem club, championship club selling to prem probably has a ceiling of about £25/30m post COVID.

Thought A block was pretty... meh, today. Sat in B block, or 32, whatever it's called, and thought it was a lot of nothing (+ in Ribbers defence the tannoy is awful).

Only 27 myself but the 'kids' are crap imo, sing the first line of each song and then give up, too interested in blowing kisses to the away fans.

Fundamental problem, they have no staying power which means no one outside there area learns the song.

I mean, if he hadn’t scored against Blackburn we would have lost, didn’t score against Swansea in the FA Cup we would be out, didn’t score against Cov… yep we would have lost…

Current form doesn’t look too rosy then does it?

Bit of a weak argument, if he wasn't playing someone else would have.

Why are some people talking like Semenyo was some kind of super star and single handedly keeping us in the championship?

What ever happened to fans taking in air horns , great for atmosphere 

Vu vu zela which ruined a world cup.

But if this was imminent why let Bajic go...not good in only the only appearance I have seen but if on 3 Yr contract he needs to be part of first team squad after Bentley. Another lot of dosh not giving the returns we wanted? 

We've got Wiles-Richards and Buse is in the under 21s. That might be enough until Bajic gets back next year.

Imagine replacing our most successful recent manager (Steve Cotterill) for Lee Johnson. Nepotism 

Could someone argue that LJ has had our highest finish in the last 15 years so even if it was nepotism it was relatively successful?

How widely read, known, representative this place is who knows but it might be worth trying to get someone from there onto here to debate the issues, answer a few qs and try to.assuage concerns or similar of other fans.

I guess the juxtaposition to this is why would they give a shit? This place is (at a guess) 30, opinionated, mainly blokes, that are upwards of 40 years old that chat to each other on what is somewhat outdated medium with probably another 100 or so chipping in and maybe a thousand watching when something interesting happens like a manager getting sacked/player being bought/sold.

IMHO if anyone really wants to ask them questions they should go and ask them questions where they are (twitter, Instagram, Facebook ect) not bekon them to us like we are the royal OTIB. Especially as the concerns (valid as they are) seem to being raised by small minority that haven't been affected some of which don't even go to games - I'm not sure what the outcome would be, probably something like "officially they don't want to upset the existing people in the A block and don't support people entering without a ticket but they don't control everyone entering the A block, that's a club matter who they let in"?

You dont ? Why then is there no process in place ?

Please identify any dialogue you are having with the club in this regard. I doubt there is any but please confirm otherwise.

I wonder if anyone that is part of the A block ultras is actually on the forum. Most people on the forum seem upwards of 40 and the average in A block is probably 16 - they probably don't even know this forum exists to answer your questions @BigTone.

Someone who I thought was making up the numbers and not a competitive championship player last season goes on to become a top performer this season.

Yep. I’m not in any way slagging off the move to A Block. I’m all for it and always have been. Just saying that our stadium can be a bit weird at times in terms of what you can and can’t hear depending on where you are. 
I’m pretty much equidistant to A Block and S82, but both the last 2 games I’ve only heard S82. 
Which again is odd, because for the previous few games prior to that, there was nothing coming from S82 at all! It’s all very odd! 

I didn't take it any different to what you just said.

The corner has been noisier since the A block lot moved out, I think there are 2 parts to this, less competing songs and a bit of competition for the noisiest area of the stadium.

2 minutes ago, Harry said:

Another odd one today. I sit in the family stand, level with the 18 yard box at the south stand end. 
I didn’t hear the A Block at all all game, but the sound coming from S82 was loud and clear. 
S82 certainly looked much more populated than last week too. 
Clearly there was sound coming from A Block as others have heard and witnessed, but from where I was I didn’t hear a thing, honestly.  

So basically what we already know - you will rarely hear fans at the opposite end of the stadium.

Don’t understand why , us and Cardiff seems a little dated , there are far more problems with Swansea in recent years . I speak to a couple of the older Cardiff lads and they say they just treat city as a normal game nowadays . Perhaps there just getting older like us all I don’t know .

The buzz of Tinnion park is just a memory for them, Cardiff has been successfully gentrified with large influxes of students and "professionals".

Request by the welsh police it says! But they allow 6,600 Leeds fans on a Sunday afternoon!

I prefer 12:30 on a Saturday to a Sunday afternoon, would you have preferred a Sunday afternoon?

I don't mind singing the tractor song to clubs that sing it at us as long as we sing it louder. Teaching it to other clubs that don't sing it at us seems pointless.

Possibly the funniest thing ever on TV. Its really not subtle!

I mean it doesn't matter what we say here as im yet to see a song for a player that has started on OTIB haha but I'll chuck "Travis - Sing" in there as its probably the easiest song to remember 

 

We've got Cam Pring, pring, pring, pring, pring, pring 
For the love you bring won't mean a thing 
Unless you've got Pring, pring, pring

If your judging OTIB by things that have actually progressed to happen within the club then we should probably sacked .

Good tune, though I lack faith that we will be able to do a pause. second line "running down the wing won't mean a thing".

Head back to the corner and sit in silent protest. It would make some on here happy for a game but will prove the point, it will be dull!

Not that I care but wouldn't that damage how many away fans we can hold? Thus impacting how many tickets the club gets for our travels? 

Why don't we put away fans top of Lansdown, move the family section to a different part and put the ultras in atyeo... 

Would love to see the away fans try and get an atmosphere going all the way up there

And when they do because that's what away fans do everyone will say that because the roof up there slopes down it gives away fans an advantage and we all need to move up there so we need to kick the family stand out.

I still think the Atyeo should be divided half away and half home, get rid of those stupid black sheets that go from halfway up the Atyeo to the goal as well, looks tinpot. We must be one of the only clubs in the Country who are really concerned about two sets of fans being in close proximity.

Spurs vs Arsenal yesterday was divided by stewards.

But also enforced seating, you sit in your ticketed seat. Would we go for being in the same stand but having to sit in a designated seat?
