ZiderEyed Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Discussion on here seems to be very varied, so I'd like to see what the opinion of S82 is at the moment after a season. I would like to say I think it's a brilliant idea, and that I hope it will go from strength to strength next season. (Bare in mind I've never done a poll on here, so if it looks retarded blame me!)

cityexile Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Yes from me. Got to cater for all of us choosing to support in our own ways. As for moving, open minded, if it was with their agreement/discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 There are varied replies and attitudes because there are posters on here with very varied age groups. Personally I don't care one iota but many years ago I used to care about such things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glynriley Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Don't see why anyone would want to get rid of them. They support our club in the way they want, there's room for all types of fan at AG. It's not personally my thing, but as long as they enjoy it, crack on. Could probably lose the c#nt chants though!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I would consider myself in the older age group, I sit next to their block and next season I will be in front of them, I think at the core what they are trying to do is a great thing for us all. I have one caveat however which is that so often good ideas are hijacked by others who have a slightly darker idea of what match days are and can hide in those areas all too easily. I think if they are going to be successful in what they do, they have to be prepared to accept that the stewards will have to be firm with some of more extreme behaviour and perhaps even police themselves to ensure that they can be allowed to continue to grow.

Chitterlin' Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Ashton Gate needs Section 82 for the atmosphere. What is doesn't need is the Neanderthals who turn up looking for trouble giving all the lip by virtue of half a pint of Thatchers inside them. Having spent this season in the Ateyo, the atmosphere has been electric and 95% of those in the stand are friendly and are there for the right reasons. It's just a shame that some mistake the carnival frivolities to want to go into battle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedBrizzleRobin Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Section 82 is a great idea, its typically just a minority ruining things for everyone else.... the main problem though, as others have pointed out, is usually the louder, more boisterous area of stadiums attract the 'Neanderthal' type. Unfortuantely it only takes a handful of tools to tarnish and give a bad reputation to the 1000+ who are decent and making Section 82 into what was hoped for. Based on what's been posted a few seem to already tarring be all of S82 because of a small group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeepUpLino Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Yes they should stay but **** me section 82 is a totally shit name... Rather embarrassing like some of their chants... **** me i must be getting old!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Of course they should stay, Ashton Gate would be a morgue without them. Surprised it's even being debated! What's a shame is the club going back on their original proposal to put them back in the South Stand and give them a terrible choice of displacing other fans in the Dolman or be shoved in the corner of the Atyeo.

BRISTOL86 Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Daft question but if a minority continue to use it as a way to direct abusive language to fellow City fans then it needs to be weeeed out pronto before it gets (even more) embarrassing.

Spoons Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 so many people getting on the section 82 band wagon, this rubbish Ashston gate couldn't survive without them is laughable. I've never wanted to get out my seat and fight with my own fans so much, but if I get called the c word one more time by these so called saviours of Ashton gate so be it. All the years I've been going to football section 82 is literally the most cringe thing I've seen. The name is awful and the people organising it can't decide if they want to be ultras,holligans or happy clappy fans!! U go from calling your own fans the c word to holding bits of red tin foil in the air which my 5 year old finds funny. But the worse is the clingy follow on fans , many on otib , who claim the club needs them etc. do one club was here a long time before these lot and when they have had there 5 minutes of fun or run out of cash the club we still be here and section 82 will be one of those things we chat about in the pub in years to come and laugh and just say why!

From the clubs point of view, would you want some of the recent behaviour next to their much valued family section? And before you say it, you couldn't fit the family section in section 82's current area, and you wouldn't want to put them next to the away support.

Bowie Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Find The whole 'Section 82' is a bit pathetic personally. If you want to sit in the corner creating an atmosphere but the cheesy name. WTF feel to have a section for fans to make a lot of noise but this self important group have grown tiresome very quickly. its not a situation where they are crying because they were being moved out of a stand they have been in for 10minutes. they are now costing the club money staying in that stand due to the potential for less away fans and also getting their discounted season tickets for reasons that are beyond me...and to boot they are now abusing the rest of the fan base. If it continues into next season the dolman WILL turn against them and the club will move them into the main stands. personally due to the mentality of some fans I confidently predict next season Section 82 will probably kill them self off due to their own behaviour. Personally I saw move them into the Atyeo end of the Williams and charge them the same as everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put their family section in the Williams or something, there's loads of space. In a bigger area, like the SS, more people in that stand would join in. I'm of the opinion that the club want to gradually erode groups like S82 whilst appearing to accommodate them. The club basically 'forgot' we have vocal support in the rebuild, the bodged solution of a tricky Atyeo compromise is a poor one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't just think it's the club who want rid of section 82, fans are fed up with them. And please don't put section 82 in a bracket of being a vocal group, they are a confused group of people at best who are sometimes vocal but most the time act like children who have stolen a tin of beer of there old man and can't handle it. They are embarrassing to listen to and watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atmosphere/fans attract more fans including the young into lifetimes of support. We are all part of the club sat, stood, families or corporate. The Atyeo reflects that.

You seem to be very upset about them calling other fans names (that's exactly what it was... they called you a name), yet every post of yours I've read on the subject consists of you calling them children, chavs, embarrassing, cringe worthy, people on benefits..... and then saying you want to punch them!! Yes they shouldn't of called the dolman rude names, but you need to grow up just as much as them reading some of your responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Section 82, 82 City played in a red, white and black kit, is that right? A cool thing. kids liked it as well. Do you know any of the individuals involved?
