Manon Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 I've been going a bit 'like' crazy in this thread, it obviously touched a nerve with me. I was umming and arring big time about attending today... Decided couldn't afford it. Reading this I'm glad I didn't. For some, maybe it's just what happens on the pitch that matters, but looking through here it seems I'm far from being alone. Stuff like this matters, and feels like yet another nail in the coffin. For me, anyhow! Ok, the guy's new, and he's shown promise in a tweet. My primary concern, though, would be whether he has the remit to learn, understand and bend his ways to traditional football culture, or whether he is bound by Bristol sport's model of modern football. Only time will tell, but as the voice of dissent are depleted and eroded over the years, as more become disillusioned and turn their backs, the weaker that voice becomes and the quicker it dissolves.

Sorry that you must have got fired after not being up to scratch on your second day @redapple and @KevP. I don't know the guy but on a more general note I really hate the way people like you feel the need to be so belittling in your comments. You'd be a lot quieter saying it to someone's face; get a ******* life. Total crap Can't for the life of me think what the bloke was thinking of trying to whip up an atmosphere during the period when half the crowd were still in the concourses. It made the rest of us look bloody idiots when the Newcastle fans extracted the urine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume the bloke behind me had a different view, as he punched me very hard in the face. In the face! Yes, this announcer has to be more specific next time. Box clever next time. I made a silent protest and the bloke next to me got a kicking. Sorry Dad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is of course,but to get somebody who hasn't even watched a game of football and is not interested is shocking,again not his fault.

Guest Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 Apologies if repeating someone else but for me, even worse than the attempt st orchestrating an atmosphere were the pyrotechnics as the players came out for the first half. That was totally amateur. Let's not feed in to the 'cup game against us' mentality. We are playing Newcastle on merit - that merit being they weren't good enough for the Premier League. Let's not welcome them with Pyro's, we shouldn't feed in to that mentality and we shouldn't treat them as any more than Burton Albion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron-Bcfc Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 Evidently he's never been to a football match (unless at somewhere like Reading as mentioned) and just doesn't understand.

Anyway Robin1988, you seem to be taking things far too seriously, judging by other posts you've got involved with on here, not just this one, and all your *********ing and digs back at people. And the majority of people commenting on this particular post were not happy with the guy on the PA system. If you were sat where we were in W11 you would have see the p### taking we got from the Newcastle fans. That caused many people near us a problem and could have got out of hand. The less the club does to give the opposition fans the chance to ridicule our fans, players and club as a whole, the better. Now lets just move on FFS please?

Seemed very 'cup final' and OTT. Don't get me wrong I love the new stadium but don't want us to slip into Americanising football. By all means let's have a slick professional operation going on but let the players whip the crowd up, not the DJ and flamethrowers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 It will be interesting to see if we stick with the flame burners and wheel them out for a wet February game against Rotherham or just for the Big Boys. I don't mind the flames/fireworks we had them years ago, but as long as it's the same for all. We shouldn't let Newcastle, Villa etc know that we think they are more special than Burton or Barnsley, as someone has said we are playing them as a fellow Championship team. Regarding the constant reminder of the 22,000 plus crowd, it did seem to give the impression to an outsider it was because we were playing the Great Geordies, not the fact that we previously didn't have the capacity to do so for a number of years.

Lanterne Rouge Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Just one thing to add to the above.

Alessandro Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 We had our largest crowd for decades, that is an achievement for us and worth celebrating. He was right to say that, who gives a damn what the Newcastle fans think. Great, they're used to much bigger crowds, but they're in the same division as us now, so who cares?! I personally didn't have any problems with the new announcer, and he is clearly a nice guy and will learn what things the City fans will get upset about or not.
