Ska Junkie Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 1 hour ago, JBFC II said: I'm imagining us being 3-0 up and a certain @Alan Dicks booing when the 4th goes in.... Then you would wake up from your dream I expect. 4 nil up? I mean come on?? The problem is, IMHO, that, as mentioned earlier, our fan base is tragically split, more than I've genuinely ever seen in my 40 odd seasons. I am firmly in the Johnson out camp and don't apologise for that. Anyone who thinks the atmosphere on Saturday will be anything but pure vitriol towards our useless head coach is, with all possible respect, a bit naive. Passions run high and are undoubtedly really high at the moment and to ask people to surpress that? It's not going to happen is it? Let's be honest here? It's only the last few years that this has been an issue TBH. In years of old, the level of derision pouring down from the stands was pure hatred, much worse than we have seen thus far this season. Personally, I am going to choose to stay away on Saturday as I really want us to win but cannot abide the utter garbage being served up by 'our promising young head coach' and would be howling my displeasure if I did turn up. That, I appreciate would not help the team. I hate missing matches but have chosen, for the right reasons, to show my displeasure by not going. A token protest on my part I appreciate but I have nothing against the players, just the useless oaf in the home dugout. If it wasn't MY / OUR team, I would be in disbelief that a coach was still in a job given results but, as it IS our team, I am extremely angry about the whole debacle.

A load more empty seats would get the message across to the board without affecting our players who need all the encouragement they can get. Yep. That's my plan until there is a change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of kids go to football now and many people less into forums etc will not realise the overwhelming feelings expressed on here - they have a life So they will bring their sweet little ones blissfully unaware how very quickly things could turn Saturday. In my more shall we say care free days I have been arrested by West Midlands finest and walked 2 handed to the away end trying to get in - the point being I was drunk, fiery and had no consideration for anybody else - but in those days it was the norm. Now I would be embarrassed if I thought my actions scared children but there is far too many at the gate who are like me back then and so will not consider that they are fans too and have the right to feel safe within the stadium at all times. Without doubt some kids can handle it as you say but society is not as hardened as it was in the 80s and 90s and some will be terrified if it turns ugly. I predict at least one terrace fight this Saturday if we go behind - too much alcohol and too many idiots !! I've warned both my boys it might be a bit lively on Saturday so the nine year old has decided to give it a miss. however the six year old can't wait but then he does have a habit of singing city songs when we are surrounded by home fans at away games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To see him get 3-4 more games and no one be on his back? That my friend is the way to league one. Depends how they react after a 4-0 win, go on to take 6-9 points in the next 4 games then its something that to build on. Would I be happy with that, damn right I would be. Hypothetical of course and I'll guess we'll have to see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Army 87 Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 people seem to be seriously underestimating the impact that these chants would have on the players, and also suggesting a loss against a relegation rival would be a positive thing is beyond me. we need a big atmosphere and to make Burton feel like they've walked into the lions den so to speak.

The consensus is we are more likely to drop if we don't change with all respect Colin. I wouldn't trust the present incumbent to run a bath without cocking it up if I'm honest. He's hopeless! Yes, change cannot guarantee survival but at least it would give us a greater chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never mind who's to blame just fix it. When this guy speaks BCFC should listen, he has worked tirelessly for this club and its fans; LJ and his boss should man up and do the right thing and NOW.

foghornred Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Saturday should be a celebration not a wake, at the game we should get behind the team before and after we should vent any negative feelings not during the game when after all the players need our support more than ever after this run. PS 3 points would be great anyone wanting less is not a real fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bs3 Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 It all depends how we are playing whether or not the fans boo or get behind the team. I'm sure if we going a couple up people will get behind the team and may get a little nervous. If we are playing well and its 0-0 I could see the crowd really being vocal, roaring the team on. On the other hand if we are playing poorly and losing by more than one goal, I'm sure the crowd will react even with more toxic venom than the Fulham game.
