Oldland2 Posted August 5, 2023 Report Share Posted August 5, 2023 (edited) Do the fans in the Landsdown stand think they are above everyone else, I noticed when the South and Dolman were applauding Chris Garland on the 9th minute, hardly anyone in the Landsdown were clapping, remember if it wasn’t for players like Chris you snobs wouldn’t be here R.I.P Chris and thank you for all you great moments and sacrifice Edited August 5, 2023 by Oldland2 Spellcheck 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol_South_End Posted August 5, 2023 Report Share Posted August 5, 2023 I've sat in the Lansdown since it opened and everyone around me was clapping during the tribute and the minute's applause. Slightly less so during the 9th minute but I think it's difficult when the game is on as your attention is also on what is happening on the pitch. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Cardy Posted August 5, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 5, 2023 (edited) It could have been as simple that the tannoy is shite & the screens miles away. I sit in the South Stand and didn’t hear anything but started clapping because everyone else was & then looked at the screen. I really don’t think this has anything to do with ‘snobs’ that you refer to. Infact I think you are simply trying to provoke a reaction & writing this is probably a waste of 2 mins of my life.

Bristol_South_End Posted August 5, 2023 Report Share Posted August 5, 2023 I'd argue that the Lansdown Stand probably has a higher number of older fans who will have actually seen Chris play. No lack of recognition from where I was. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm too young to have seen any of the AG8 play but I know what they did for the club and also what players like Chris meant to my Mum and Dad, and will always acknowledge that whenever tributes are held. Think that's the case for the majority of fans young and old. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that the Lansdown especially the upper section would be full of kids, it’s a bit moronic to think that they would be doing anything other than watching the game. You had the minutes applause at the start which most people seemed to take part in. As for snobs, that’s just pathetic really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red DNA Posted August 5, 2023 Report Share Posted August 5, 2023 Everyone around me in W6 responded 100%. Sounds like someone has a problem with more mature supporters, who may not be able jump up and down as much as they used to years ago, for some reason, but are still there supporting the club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dolman Pragmatist Posted August 5, 2023 Report Share Posted August 5, 2023 To be fair, we’d already had at least three rounds of clapping for him before the match kicked off. I think the 9th minute was one too many and people were just clapped out by then. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse With No Name Posted August 5, 2023 Report Share Posted August 5, 2023 Two things. Part way through the 9th minute applause Nahki Wells had a good scoring chance, which resulted in the clap obviously stopping , then spluttering up again. Secondly, after the applause before the game when Chris's highlights were shown, plus the official minutes applause at kick off, maybe many thought the third applause to be unnecessary. Just maybe.

Very odd thing to get worked up about & even more odd to put it down to "snobbery" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leveller Posted August 5, 2023 Report Share Posted August 5, 2023 We clapped the tribute before the game, we stood and clapped with the players during the minute before kick off. I was completely unaware there would be a third session on the ninth minute - didn’t hear it announced. Tbh the third one was unnecessary and was sporadic because we were watching the play. Frankly I think having these during the match is a bit silly. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphindevon Posted August 5, 2023 Report Share Posted August 5, 2023 I was in the Lansdown, about 10 meters from the Garland family, and everyone seemed to be clapping but it is true it didn’t last long. As others have said we’d paid a great tribute to a great player already, not sure of the point of that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
