Plenty of people talk about it “getting toxic” but it rarely does and that needs to change IMO. Thought the reaction at the end today was a small sign tbh, at the Dolman/South End. It could get toxic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underhill Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 Been going since 1967 & season ticket holder for more than 30 years & the current performances are some of the most dull, boring & turgid I’ve ever seen. It’s about excitement & goals & we deliver neither. I’m done until there’s change at the top 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't go to support the Lansdowns, i supported before they arrived and will support after they have gone. But at the moment I don't enjoy going to AG to watch that drivel so I'm not going to go for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some pockets might be mildly vocal then flounce off to the concourse for a mediocre pint in a plastic pot. Im not sure the matchday crowd has it in them to be toxic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not entirely true, empty seats make a visible impact. I'm a season ticket holder and haven't been going for a while. Not a protest, haven't even got better things to do necessarily.

Going to AG is an important part of my lifestyle that’s been in place for several decades and I plan to carry on in the same fashion. For as long as I’m able I’d never stop attending regardless of what level City are playing at. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dredd Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 What happened at the end? I saw the Dolman/South stand corners telling Joe Williams what they thought as he approached, and he put his hands up apologetically. I disappeared down the stairs after that but could hear more booing. Did it continue as more players came over? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being part of a crowd supporting the same thing. If there’s more than the football that takes people to AG, it doesn’t make the football less important. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the toxic point I guess it depends on where you are in the ground and your perception of what that means. Where I was there was loads of booing, anti Lansdown chanting, fans arguing with each other and that leading to scuffles and punches thrown.

There has been other threads in the past re sheets/protests/walk outs ,obvious one would be to not buy ST`s and just go when you wanted to not easy choice for thousands with them and would effect clubs income.

Kid in the Riot Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 Quite simple. Direct action. Sadly the only way. Someone launches a petrol bomb at HG offices Monday morning then that might bring Steve to the table. It's what they'd do in Italy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superjack Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 Haven't given the Lansdowns a penny of my money since NP was sacked, and won't ever again. No games, no merchandise, no Robins TV. Nothing. It's either that or old school protests. And that will never happen with our fanbase. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2015 Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 My biggest concern is BT has stated previously they want a playing style throughout the club. Well if this is the style of football they want it is absolutely MILES away from what I consider watchable and entertaining. Seriously very worrying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t turn up or buy a season ticket, they won’t listen to anything you say if you are still paying the money. Empty stadium will soon make them change their stubborn opinions on what’s best for our club. Edited March 2 by LoyalRed 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll take more than this to put me off, I'll just sit there in a grump instead. In the past there are usually a decent group of players I'm pretty sick of when we're playing awfully. I actually like most of this group a lot. Stick with the manager then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just look at the present day ST takings...thinking this will blow over Disagree with this, the Lansdown do not want empty seats, buying season tickets means you are accepting this crap. Better to stay away, that’s the only way change will happen. Loss of revenue is the main push for change with these idiots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledAjax Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 Tell you what I'm doing. Going to away games. Being a member of and working with the SC&T to try and get the Club to be more transparent about it's operations, finances, and governance. A futile battle sometimes, but it's a little bit of something. Giving managers and players a fair chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difficult as JL is so thick that by attending he will think you are backing him. Let’s face it, SL has pretty much retired now and JL isn’t going anywhere. The Lansdowns don’t like to admit defeat so have always stuck longer than they should with managers, nothing will change by filling the stadium.
