Away support...get behind the team!!

Watching the game in a Sunderland box today I thought our support was awful...

I know the team need to give us a reason to sing sometimes but we also need to get them going. I'm afraid we do only sing when we're winning.
 
It's not just our away support is it.....?! Those there would have heard the Sunderland fans, constant chanting, in particular those to our left in the corner, and the whole ground got going towards the last 20 minutes when for some reason we got rattled.
We stood there, yep we stood again, so it will be 1600 tickets next season like the Rags and Dippers.
With the football being served up we should be cranking up the noise with constant chants, lets have some new ones as well, blue moon sends me to fookin sleep... Maybe that's it, we are all asleep or too pissed to bother..??!!
We don't travel away any more and make a constant noise, we have many visiting supporters at City who outsing us, as Delia said, 'Where are you, lets be avin you'??!!
Make a name for ourselves, be passionate, be vocal but most of all, be proud and supportive ffs.................

i said the same yesterday,


i actually heard a bloke ask for a gin and tonic at the bar!

what the fuck???
 
Too many of our fans are still obsessed with the 6-1. Now the songs are funny, but save them for the rags not the other 18 teams. At the arsenal home game a lad next to me was singing the it should've been 10 song and pointing to the arsenal fans, he did the same at stoke, and others at west brom and yesterday, pointed to the other teams support! Why point at them, what's it to do with them? Leave the united songs for Derby day, but for other games sing about city!

Or that yes Haha. But yesterday the united songs were sung louder than any others. I love the faster version of Bluemoon, but a handful sang it yesterday and kept it going for a bit.

i miss the old days were we would just sing, didnt go yesterday, but went against west brom and nobody was singing at all, not many regulars their and a lot of families their ( from what I could see) where were the young lads singing shaven headed mad people that we youst to have, not saying people who dont look like that dont sing, but the fact our away support was so different then usual

btw if the blue alliance were their I did not hear you

I was sat near the half way line and cant say that I heard that much singing from the Sunderland fans. When the away fans and the vocal home fans are near to each other, those in there get a distorted idea as to how much noise they're actually making.

They did make a fair bit of general noise near the end though, which I think creates a better atmosphere than singing. I thought that the City fans were fairly subdued but no more than a lot of away fans that I've observed at City.<br /><br />-- Mon Jan 02, 2012 12:19 pm --<br /><br />

Yes, sitting with the Sunderland fans, they just thought that was bizarre, And it did come across as small time.
