WTFiGO!?! Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Hmm, well thats opening a can of worms.Making noise involves losing inhibitions, letting go, expressing passion. Not something City/Football's current fans seem particularly comfortable with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not something City/Football's current fans seem particularly comfortable with.There's a sweeping statement. Are you saying that today's football fans are less passionate than, say, the fans of the Seventies?Are you saying that people in general are less passionate than the seventies? If not, what do the passionate people do today? On-line gaming? Surfing? Porn websites? Sorry to be so profound but I'm not usually up this early and I'm all passionate for the online shop to open.

Have you ever been to a rave? This was an integral part of youth culture during the 90's and up to today, emotion vividy being demonstrated physically and vocally, I believe the phenomenon, and the wide introduction of the drug extasy coincided causally with the demise of atmosphere in Football grounds to a certain degree.'Can of worms' like I say.

I think the lack of passion can be attributed to the increased attendance of women and children to football matches (the mummification of football perhaps). When there are children near me I will not swear; when there are not children near me I will swear. Whilst I accept that I should be able to express passion without swearing somehow it just feels better to rant and rave with a bit of effing and blinding.On the whole, I prefer the greater attendance of women and children to the game even if it means a "gentrification". However, if I were younger I suppose I might have a different opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
