Nothing between city at all. Sorry to disappoint you but also lots of chants in support of our manager. Heard someone was thrown out for filming/taking photos during the match and then the stewards. All stewards I came across were certainly some of the more pleasant ones and friendly enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That or I've encountered more opinionated fans this time around. To be honest, while I think the fan base is very much in favour of removing the manager, I'm not seeing the anger and vitriol I've seen in years gone by. Maybe we've all grown up. I'm a grandad now so it wouldn't show me in a good light if I was outside the directors box with a burning pitchfork! Not done that for a few years anyway...

MarcusX Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 No one should be surprised to hear nothing but support today. If you think travelling all that way to do anything other than get behind the team is a positive use of time then you need to take a look at yourself!

Burnley were singing 'Johnson in' at us which was quite funny, our retort was to sing back 'you're nothing special, we lose every week' Loads of Anti Johnson chat, there were loads of us stood in the concourse til at least 60th minute talking about years gone by and how bad LJ was.

I don't think the "Johnson In" stuff today was very credible to be honest. Yes it did happen and was loud but there is some important context. First of all the "superfan" sarcasm doesn't apply here, it's a very young group that do it and all credit to them, they go to all the worst away games and make a load of effort to create an atmosphere. While I didn't think it would be appropriate for me to join in with a "Johnson In" chant, I wouldn't take anything away from this lot for doing so, they are not trying to be superfans, they just enjoy their City away games and do a lot for the atmosphere. With all that said... some context. There were several pro-LJ chants and I'm sure they were meant, but these culminated in "LJ give us a wave" (and yes, he did). No disrespect to anyone but if your ultimate aim is ever to get the acknowledgement of the manager or players or want anyone to give you a wave, personally I've always found it a bit odd, a bit infatuated with the idea of being appreciated, and as such I'd be less convinced of the thought process or motives for supporting someone. Not trying to over analyse a nice gesture, just trying to write a polite version of "you are a bit weird if you really need to sing to someone that you'd like them to wave at you, it's a bit too much of a transparently self-affirming love in" because those involved don't deserve my sarcasm or any superfan jibes, because they otherwise do a fantastic job of livening up many dreadful away games.

Harry Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 So, let's just clarify - there was NO fighting amongst our own fans, but this thread has been started and we are now arguing amongst each other on here instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
