ARIS fans

Re: Message to all Aris Salonika fans

The Aris fans were quality tonight, and also at their place too.

Got into town about 6pm tonight just as they were being marched up station approach by the police and it was an impressive sight. Thousands of them.

Kept it going all game regardless of the score, and didn't see any trouble. I doff my cap to them. Along with Poznan, easily the best fans I've seen at City.

Re: Message to all Aris Salonika fans

The Aris fans were awesome and the best I have ever seen. Did anyone see the guy at the bottom who was commanding the chants etc? He didn't even watch the game haha.

He never does. He's a head coordinator of Super-3 (our hardcores).
Watching the game is not really a priority for us, we're just there to
sing our guts out and get the adrenaline rush wherever on earth we play:)
Thank you all for these wonderful comments, much appreciated!

Hello lads

It's a pity our team had such a bad start tonight, one's not allowed to do that kind of mistakes against giants like City.
Edin was clinic in both his scoring chances, what a great player. Give him some time and he'll give you magic.

We're proud of our boys as they fell against a much superior opponent. No shame on this, we've done great things in
this competition and gained so much experience in all levels. Eliminated the EL holders, never lost in our pitch etc.
It's been a great trip, hope we manage to be in Europe next year too if we surge ourselves out of the midtable in our league.

What can I say about Aris fans? clearly the greatest asset of this club... It doesn't matter how well or shite the team performs,
our passion goes well beyond that and I'm sure this was quite obvious tonight. Thank you for your kind words and appreciation!
I hope you enjoyed the yellow support and that we meet again soon!

great post all the best for the rest of the season hopfully we can meet in the CL next season :)

Re: Message to all Aris Salonika fans

it was quality, I'll put my hat on for this but does anyone think that its because the game in England has been diluted somewhat, with too many women (I know I'll get pelted) and lightweight supporters who like a prawn sandwich from time to time. I remember standing in the Kippax with my dad in the late seventies and it swaying whilst in full volume. Its just the crap plastic, no soul atmosphere over here. Also if you go abroad the fans get into the ground hours before KO and drink, sing, smoke basically do what they please and build it to a crescendo for KO, the atmosphere we witnessed tonight doesn't happen by accident, it would be interesting to hear the opinion of a Aris fan to see what they say.

Oi, you will get pelted, I was a seasoncard holder in the Kippax in the 70's too. I don't do prawn sandwiches either, I do Tony's chippy and then Mary Ds!

Quite impossible, it's easier for us to shine in Europe than in our dirty league.
CL qualifying spots "always reserved" for the two big clubs of Athens.
thanks whatsoever:)

It must just be me then because I didnt think they supported their team.

Yes they were incredibly loud and colourful and great to watch but they didnt create an atmosphere it was like watching some cheerleaders do their stuff didnt do anything for the team but its an interesting watch.

In this country we are used to the fans building up the atmosphere as play develops they just kept up a noise and it didnt in anyway reflect what was happening on the pitch........no great oohs or ahhs as chances are created and missed

I suppose it takes all sorts but it was a bit too choreographed for me but City have to do something to help us compete. I have been away and sat in the gods miles from the action. We give the opposing fans our Kippax whilst our singing sections are completely split.

It showed tonight that City have to resolve this because we have to make CoMS an intimidating atmosphere and whilst we continue to allow away fans to have more influence than ours it will never happen

Also whilst having a rant was told that my lad had got the last ticket in Level 1 North stand when there were loads of empty seats what the hell is going on with the ticketing at our ground

Your players don't know what they've got with fans like you. Loud and in full voice for 90 minutes. Brilliant, brilliant supporters.

That's a good shout. I thought that during the game, they weren't really supporting the team and getting behind them or reacting to what was happening, they just looked to me like they were rocking it cos that's what they came to do. Top work though but not as loud or varied as Poznan for me.
