MrBibs Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Not sure if it’s been mentioned elsewhere but feel the magnificent support today is worthy of mention. I took a non City fan and he was hugely impressed with how the fans supported the team and the atmosphere created. He asked at half time whether the fans would keep up the level of support if we went behind. Well he certainly got his answer. The fans stayed with the team right to the finish. What a moving moment with that young Blues mascot getting great applause and a big cheer from the City fans and giving a thumbs up. Not ashamed to say that brought a tear to my eye. Extra proud to be a City fan today - well done lads and lasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marina's Rolls Royce Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Well bloody posted and well said- thanks. 100 likes to you. The match day support particularly our amazing away supporters just goes to show how, sometimes, some of the sofa based OTIB fans are out of step with the real fans.

That Louie Donowa goal Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Thought we out sung them all game bar one song when they scored. We think Ashton Gate is quiet at times but didn’t hear a peep from them apart from goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he say he likes us more than he likes the Rovers? He did, didn't he? I'll bet he did. Say he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Horse With No Name Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 But that song they sang when they scored was just awe inspiring. Every single one of them, the noise was as loud as any I have heard from a home crowd. Just shows how a club anthem should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny you should say that, I had a gander earlier and one of them is worried that if crowds get much lower, the atmosphere will be like Ashton Gate. Which surprises me. Not being someone who has been to the Mem in many, many, many years, I have no idea what the atmosphere is like there, so I can only assume that the Gate is full of Fewers doing some sort of noise assessment. Either that, or they are talking out of their arses again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You genuinely couldn’t tell when they were playing at home, the extra cars parked outside would be the only give away. They really aren’t as loud as they think they are.

Well their fans post match on RB were moaning , about a whole number of things , about how crap and flat their support was And Coughlan is already getting pelters on their forum Happy Days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
