Dont think you would enjoy matches in poland :)Dynamo11 said:Not too keen on Ultras myself, I want to be vocal and show my support for the squad but I don't want it to affect my enjoyment of the match. Funnily enough I do go to the football to occasionally watch what's on the pitch, if there's blue flare smoke in my eyes then how am I gonna do that?
Ok to state what you see a problem or something to improve. better if you could come up with suggestions to better things.ManCitizens. said:On the plus side, our numbers are great; we always turn up when needed and always fill the away allocation.
Unfortunately, in my opinion we don’t earn the team any points. The stadium isn’t a fortress, it isn’t intimidating and we're very quiet unless things go our way. People might not like it but at home, our fans are shocking, simple as that. Today was like an Arsenal game, silence - expecting a goal. If not lets moan, groan and have a tantrum.
The team needs backing, 1,000 fans singing in the corner is not enough.

No, it's them that look like the joke. Hand painted banners, flags waved so that the people attending to the match can't see the game (which surely is what they are there for?) drums banging etc. I am sorry but those photos just made me laugh. The Europeans have it down to a fine art yes and it is spectacular for a one off match but it would begin to grate on me after a few matches. Singing yes, (sitting;-) ) shouting yes, cheering yes, but not that artificial 'look at us we are here for a day out' look. FOOTBALL, FOOTBALL, FOOTBALL.
I've been reading about people saying it's becoming a Theme Park, just for families, etc., etc., etc., and can see where they are coming from, but those displays above are even more of a Butlin's atmosphere than a Theme Park!! IMHO
p.s. Caveman, even Ducado, as a Mod, has a right to his opinion. Again IMHO. :-)

Don't think anyone has got a problem with them but the 'match day experience' shouldn't all be geared towards them.Ducado said:What's the problem some people seem to have with families?

But it doesn't have to be like that.
At this point all I'm after are the basics. Put all those that want to stand and sing in together.(in the current away end) Job done.
If the Ultra scene develops over time, so be it. If not it doesn't matter, as all the singers will be together.
And in all honesty it shouldn't affect you as a fan, as I take you won't be anywhere near that part of the stadium.? And I'm sure even you wouldn't mind constant vocal support at home matches. Or would you?
