Drop down banner at the front of NSL2 next season.

You'll never take the vol-au-vent and Canapé End

Our fan base summed up I thought it was shocking we are getting giddy from where we come from totally entitled these days

Bollocks..for teams from a lower division it's a big day out..they sing because they are excited to be playing us and know that realistically they have no fucking chance if beating us.
Moving us from SS3 kills the atmosphere..we should shove away fans in SS1 and 2..they wouldn't make that much noise then.

That isn't practical. The club would have to accommodate 6000 away fans on L1. The club would have to give them all of SSL1. And additional blocks on ESL1, maybe.

I did say level 1 and 2 mate..
It's crazy giving them SS3..

It can easily be done for PL games as that would be the same 3,000 seats they got before the SS3 was added.

Watching Newcastle v Brighton and it has to be said that the atmosphere was pretty shite in the first half.

Plymouth fans were brilliant yesterday, didn't stop singing, but gotta remember this was their biggest game for years, an away game at the current Premier league holders, they travelled in numbers for their big day out and they enjoyed it, fair play to them.
I thought our support was subdued.

Their biggest day since Drake played bowls & Adolf dropped bombs.

A visit to the Wembley of the North, home of the four times & current Champions,Club world Champions and Charity Shield Champions.

It'll be another century before they have such a privilege.....and their team was shit.

"Oh Manchester, is full of tits,fanny & City" !!

 

[Gone for a Burton]

often thought this myself, only presume its the police

....less risks, no compromise, same arrangements.

City just don't think about City fans,improving atmosphere or putting the team at an advantage.

Money,tourists,merchandise,corporate, £££ rinse & repeat.

The upcoming EGM will be a critical tipping point for the club and fans....past,present and future !!

Just bumped into my Plymouth mate in the hotel said Thats the worse home support all season I tried to make excuses but failed miserably

Tell him to fuck off back to their relegation battle in Devon whilst we'll relax as four times champions.World Club Champions and Charity Shield Champions.

They are a shit team.

poor effort at wumming that Must try harder

TBH I’d be chuffed to see more local Asians if they were proper Blues. I just don’t see it tbh. If they were singing, wearing City colours, non half and halves, then maybe. Anyway, my point was I don’t think you’re getting anywhere with your theory.

We now have three home game fan bases -:
1) PL. Mainly core regulars with a growing number of young, local newbies & a few transient 'tourists'

2) CL. Less core regulars,thousands of transient 'tourists', a smallish number of young,local newbies.

3) FA & CC Core regulars and thousands of young, local displaced fans and newbies.

When the Club hold the EGM next week I hope that they analyse the age demographic of the supporter base, factor in mortality rates and establish a long term commitment to rebuild our local fan base, or it will disappear in two decades !!

We have 2 different fan bases.

Those fans who are bothered about the match day ticket and season ticket price rises and either pay it begrudgingly or don’t pay it.

Those fans who are not bothered about the match day ticket price rises and pay it.

The latter are increasing in numbers. The former are either giving up or have given up.

Loads on here sneer at people who have to give their season ticket up because of cost, and almost congratulate tourists for being able to afford a £200 ticket for even a league game,

We can all see what that has done to our home support and home atmosphere. There is no argument that it isn’t linked.

Unfortunately a better atmosphere doesn’t drive match day revenue.

We should have a chant where the Kippax Corner chant for a bit, then the SSL1 chant back at them, and have it going to-and-fro over the away fans.

Thought Plymouth doing it yesterday really held up well for ages. Just that the actual chant they didn’t (‘left side…right side’) is a bit cheesy and overdone.

Maybe bring back ‘WE’RE CITY WE’RE BARMY WE’RE OFF OUR FUCKING HEADS’ or ‘CITY TIL I DIE, I’M CITY TIL I DIE, I KNOW, I AM I’M SURE I AM, I’M CITY TIL I DIE’ and have each side chant it back at each other for a few minutes.

We should.
But how do we get that started so everyone joins in?

Did you sing for our lads throughout the game. Yes or no??

Always love it when we get going and start giving each other shit. Usually starts after a half arsed poznan attempt. Away fans just look confused as we give it back and forth

Yeah, good point.

I suppose it would be on the off chance that people on one side were mates with people in the other side knew what was going on. Other than that, or walkie-talkies, haha, I have no idea

So....they are shit seats and no roof to bounce noise off.

No segregation, logistics issues.
