gamon Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Like if we get a replay up at theirs the teams will run out to a rousing chorus of "DRINK UP THEE CIDER, DRINK UP THEE CIDER" They did in their pub before the last game at their ground.

zider'ed Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Can see a pitch invasion before the games even kicked off followed by a game of smash the bubble machine up, maybe thats what the scarfs are for, hiding our faces?Now that would make better viewing for the bbc!

Somerset Red Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 You can shove your ******* scarves, shove your ******* scarves etc etc or, for scarves insert 'Bubbles' I thought we were getting over cock-ups like this. Obviously not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinmabbuttshair Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Come on City, don't be bleeding stupid, just cancel one of the most stupid ideas you've ever had. Listen to your support for a change or continue to alienate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CotswoldRed Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Problem is, the management seem to think occasion and atmosphere can be manufactured. This is core of what's wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cider Queen Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Sorry my scarf is being worn and waved with pride tomorrow along with singing and backing my team... having said that...

beaverface Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 There isn't even split opinion or 75% of people against it on here...............it's unanimous that US fans don't want it. The club really need to back down on this. Remember there was a survey conducted last year to judge if the club were out of touch with the fans, well this well and truly proves that they are out of touch and don't listen.

Somerset Red Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 I wonder what Steve Lansdowne is thinking about all this? I can't imagine him being too happy!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semblar Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Sounds like the City faithful are going to be fired up now. Silver linings & all that. Precisely this.... USE the anger over this to get loud and proud behind the boys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Ferret Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 "the manager wants an atmosphere and was more than happy to grant permission for one bubble machine." Which manager?...there are a few at BS now. Or is he referring to Steve Cotterill? This is actually quite an important question...is it really Cotterill who wants this? Or someone else?

Guest Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Got to be honest I still find it unbelievable that WHU asked for this, they are quite a traditional club and think they'd have too much respect to do so. It doesn't add up for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which manager?...there are a few at BS now. Or is he referring to Steve Cotterill? Surely can't be SC, not in his remit to 'grant permission' for this sort of thing surely? Why would it ever have been put to him in the first place, the idea should have been dismissed out of hand by the first person at the club to have been approached.

Kid in the Riot Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 I heard we're going to give them a 1-0 head start too. Just out of respect, like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelRobartes Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 The club should have splattered 'Hug a Hammer Day' over all their ads for this game. I don't mind the home team playing the away team's song or whatever after the game if they beat us, that shows class, but doing it before the game is absolutely bloody mental. Weren't Bristol Sport talking about improving the atmosphere recently? You couldn't make it up. Sometimes people on here get overly wound up about silly little things, this is not one of those times.

cityexile Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 What? Really? This has got to be some joke or April Fool surely. It's not about disrespecting them but recognising WE ARE AT HOME!!! Do we play thier bloody song as well when they come out as well? If TV had insisted on it, well, some excuse, but dear god how tinpot does this make us look! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRL Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 :laugh: you can tell they are running a business not a football club. So out of touch with the heart of the club it is unreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted January 24, 2015 Admin Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 West Ham wouldn't have asked for it, they don't do it at ANY other away ground so would not have even crossed their minds! Fully expect it was the same person who decided giving everyone a free scarf was the only way to generate an atmosphere.. Aka someone completely out of touch with our fan base Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The manager" can surely only be referring to SC. Why it was left to him to make such a decision god knows, like you say shouldn't have been given the light of day.
