Banners - all gone for good?

glad they've been taken down, especially that hideous 'were not really here' one. a part of me used to die every time I looked at that. they ended up making the stadium look scruffy. I think if ones were to go back up, they be in fabric. uniteds look a lot more impressive.
I agree with that. We should be the ones to bring the colour and the banners and flags to the stadium in the stands, not to be put up for us by the club.

If you told an Ultras or Barra Brava group that their club was going to our some banners up for them they'd laugh their cocks off at you.

i cringed at that "pre-match entertainment" from those annoying kids to that screeching fucking singer.

who the fuck came up with that.

i'd rather let didsbury dave organise all that shite and i'm being honest.

You could do worse.

I'd sack the fucking lot off. A few videos of old games on the screens whilst everyone but the oddballs are having a beer in the concourse. A tune when the teams run out. A quick rendition of the line ups and shut the fuck up.

Everything is else is just a waste of time. What I earth are these clowns thinking of? Has anyone in the history of football ever gone home and when the wife says "enjoy it love?" Said "yes. Silva had a good game, aguero got a great goal and the Moston Majorettes put on a lovely little routine before the game to 'wake me up before you go go'. Great day".

I can't stand this nonsense idea that people are so shallow, so thick, so lacking that they somehow need alternative entertainment to fill in the gaps around the football match they've paid to see.

And don't get me going on the post match PA discos.Especially that monstrosity after we won the league. If I was the sheikh I'd have had someone's head on a platter for that. When Agadoo came on a small part of me died, even though we'd just won the league. Mike Doyle would have been turning in his grave.

i said it because i already knew your opinion on it and i agree.

it's all fucking bollocks and this club is better than that shite.

Correct Didsbury Dave.

I got there early last night, the pre-match screen stuff was AWFUL! That bird going round reception asking people where they were from and when they said "Russia" "Poland" "Ireland" "Essex" she was like "do we had any fans from Manchester?"...the same bird shouting down the mic...Mike McLean shouting down the mic...the question directed to Wilson about Joe Hart's mistake for England last week while Joe was warming up...the "Agüerooooooooooooo" thing...the bird singing on the pitch...all just dreadful "entertainment".

The track listing after we won the league was simply Cheese on toast: Aga Do, Sweet Carloine. Do me a favour!
I didn't see any of it, thank god, as I was having a beer and chatting. But I did notice when I got in the stadium just before kickoff songs were drifting around the ground only to be killed by the booming PA. It's not really relevant if we have Fulham on a December Wednesday, but the amount of big games when my mate says "turn off the fucking music" because its killing the singing.

I'm quite happy if they wheel out an ex player or let the ladies team do a lap or something. But I don't want some zero-budget equivalent of the Olympic opening ceremony before we play Norwich on a cold Saturday lunch.

I think it's even worse when they try to make it a bit 'hip' with a nod to manchester's heritage. joy Division's "transmission' is one of the finest singles ever released, but it loses its tortured and dramatic impact at half time when you're struggling to break down a stubborn Crystal Palace and some fat bloke in a city shirt is pushing past you with a meat and potato and a coffee. What next? Underground hacienda classics where they expect us to wave our program's in the air and gurn like its 1989 all over again?

I liked the kicking a ball through a tyre game at half time but everything else is bollocks.
 
The pre-match stuff is fantastic. The more it pisses off those of a sensitive disposition, those who embarrass easily, those who cringe because they are frightened they might be associated with it, and somehow it reflect upon what other supporters think of them, the better. :-)
 
Complete fucking shite last night. There was a cracking atmosphere in the minutes before the game and they should have just let us get on with it but at least they didn't play goal music.

While that camera crane was up there, I hope they changed the bulbs on top of the spikes.

Only a matter of time before they start playing music after every goal.

+ Hugh Ferris shouting "Let's see you up on your feet City fans!".

Wouldn't surprise me the way things are going. :)
 
I don't like that the Banners are gone.
Considering many Blues contributed to funding.

Huge ferret back aswell... the man who proclaimed himself a Rag before he got the city gig.

The sooner the away fans are moved, the quicker we can link together and create operation one end, to improve natural organic atmosphere created by the fans... for the fans.
