I couldn't hear them from the Atyeo in 2007 just like I couldn't hear them from the same stand at the JPT match in Jan 2002 and the Christmas Derby Dec 2000. In 2013 I couldn't hear the ***** and I was stood right next to them across the netting in the Eastend. Most of them looked terrified, obviously they haven't been used to that sort of atmosphere in the last couple of decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also presumably City would pick up the police bill. Would they also get a share of gate receipts? All in all I would personally be happy to see them sunk without trace and for that reason I don't want to have City share the same pitch with them ever again. I accept I hold the minority view ! I share the same view. Its a no win fixture for us these days and has been ever since our owner started pumping money into our club. After we beat them 2-1 in 2013 they were all over social media celebrating the fact that we only beat them by 1 goal after we'd spent billions upon billions of pounds on players blah, blah blah.

wendyredredrobin Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 I think we are so quiet, even the sags would probably out sing us. Cant understand why our fans are so quiet really compared with other clubs. Been supporting City for 50 years now and have always been disappointed with the noise we make. We seem to sing much more away from home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want to generalise of course, but in my experience those standing up and singing aren't of retirement age. Even so, it's not that bad at AG. I'd say we're far better than average actually. On it's day, Ashton Gate can be up there with the best in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1bristolcity Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 So we are even obsessed with them prior to a 2nd round draw possibility that is such a long shot that it is really not worth thinking about. Perhaps we ought to 'worry' about our main aim the League not Willy Wonker and his football factory debacle and the possibility of beating them at their place that I understand is going to be their home for the foreseeable, Ahh the thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually you're right. On the few occasions that did try and make some noise there was that garbage about Irene and the 'we've got our stadium song'...that was it. Bradford made more noise with less than half the fans a few weeks earlier. To be fair to the Gas, they were right, they DID have their stadium and still do. Not sure why they were boasting about this shithole though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppyDAZE Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 Really cannot see the appeal of playing the Gas . It's not our fault there are no derbies.

Strange that, one of the blokes I manage supports Bournemouth and he told me today he thought they'd get us at home. Shame really as we'll both be 5000 miles away that week. If they thumped us he'd be coming back in pleb class on the worst airline I could find, and via Tashkent or some other craphole, and with an overnight stop.

They obviously would rather focus their efforts on the league so there's a chance we could beat them I think. They seem to sign similar sorts of players to us and we clearly try to emulate them/Stoke a bit I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
