Some Of Our Fans

[nijinsky's fetlocks]

Agree with the OP. We have some absolute scumbags supporting us, the kind of Neanderthal thugs who wouldn't even be welcome on the Jeremy Kyle Show.

Yes we do - the kind of scumbags who spend 99% of their time on this forum spouting racist bollocks.
The kind of scumbags who have started over 30 racially motivated threads in two years.
Any of that ring any bells with you?
All clubs have daft fans, and we will get more of them as our success is exponential.
This is hardly groundbreaking news, and I'm not entirely sure that the day after winning a trophy we should be donning hair shirts and flagellating ourselves just because someone had an al fresco piss.

Very true, we've come a long way, however no-one deserves to have their day ruined by morons, especially with the costs involved - but the FA and Wembley also have to share the blame for supplying alcohol in the way they do. I bet they're just counting up the profits this morning rather than discussing their part. Perhaps they should close the bars before the game allowing fans to only drink during and AFTER the game to celebrate/console themselves. This way, they can try to catch those too inebriated before they enter the stadium.

I can't believe you posted that

Why? It's only a suggestion - but in my eyes you can drink what you want before the game away from the stadium (even at outside bars like at home) and if you're too drunk to enter the stadium that's your fault. You then have the option to drink during the game and half-time and celebrate after.

Don't get me wrong, I've drunk my share down the years and been a tit with it, but I don't remember being a nuisance to others. If someone told me to shut up, I probably did. But that's me.

hang on- are suggesting pubs outside the ground like the Green Man and JJ Moons should not serve alcohol before the game? If you are thats fucking daft.

Also don't understand when you say people have the option to drink during the game, erm not if you plan to watch whats going on on the pitch. I think there is a tendency to blow these sorts of thing out of proportion, we are talking 30k+ city fans, and probably a dozen (?) people that caused a bit of trouble. The vast majority (probably 99.99%) of people were absolutely fine. Shit happens

Saw loads of aggression between blues but beer and football has caused this for ever, eg, shouted at nasri to put his laces through it first half, guy in front of me jumped up and asked WTf I had called him, soon apologised though.

 

[wythenshaweblue£££]

This topic fails to reflect that there was a crowd of 85 thousand who did their clubs proud. Get it into perspective.

My observations on the day were that Sunderland fans had taken over Wembley Way when we got there. I thought at the time that there was double the amount of Sunderland than City, but when I got in the ground it was obvious why. City fans turned up in the last 15 minutes before Kick Off

I couldn't hear SAFC during the game. The build-up was destroyed by that ridiculously loud P.A system. Got used to that, but don't like it.

I was amongst the first City fans back on Wembley Way after the game because of the location of my exit, and was surrounded by Sunderland. Got to give them a lot of credit for the way they took the defeat.



A lot of them misinterpreted the lack of joy from the City fans present as not being able to enjoy the win. I was just trying to be respectful and not try and rub the win in their faces, that and not wanting to start a riot, but it gets misinterpreted. Had comments about this on Wembley Way, and on the Tube.

Always liked the Mackems. Everything I saw yesterday just confirmed what a great set of fans they are. Really hope they stay up.

Pretty much well said

In the interests of balance I'd be grateful if any of our female posters could let us know if there was any sink-pissing going on in the ladies.

Very little sink-pissing. Lots of clothes swopping and a couple of pillow fights but generally correct usage of the toilet facilities...

Whilst I'm always supportive of pillow fighting and clothes swapping, like a sausage and egg butty without HP sauce, they never quite hit the spot the in the absence of widespread sink-pissing, I'm afraid.

Re: Our Fans

We slag off the rags for having scummy fans but ive never seen anything on par with the fucking dregs of society we have following us today. Coke being sniffed in full view of kids, wankers kicking off with other blues over fuck all, i even saw some little kid have his drink poured all over him by some fat wanker in "celebration". This was even before i had my face twatted in because some prick couldn't find his seat and thought i was sat in his
Im not soft either, i know what comes with football but today was a different level

Saw some of this myself. Our support is changing.

In my considerable experience surely this is an example of an element of our old core fans? Sure some of them might have been in the woodwork for a few years, but our changing support is all those camera-clicking tourists and Chinese web followers now so apparent?

 

[IWasHere]

How tedious and boring not just every Wembley trip but every other away game it seems we get these threads.

If people pissing in sinks, doing coke and calling people out for using the "M" word is our worst then we have some of the best behaved fans in the country.

Wtf's the 'm' word?

[lordloverocket]

Yesterday was all a bit strange, great goals,great win but some blues wanting to fight everyone!
Even on the coach home had one bloke tryin to give it the biggun really made the trip back shit.
It could of got really nasty as i vaguely no one of the lads he wanted to fight's brother, the guys an armed robber i was just hopin and prayin that the lad didnt get on the blower, Had visions of the coach being held up!!! And the lad dragged off!
Back to the game though still cant get over how good our goals were, absolutely topdraw.

Re: Our Fans

Other than some harmless big mouth on the end of my row I didn't encounter any aggro today,its a huge shame others have though.

Same with you. Was sat next to someone who said the first goal was kolarovs fault. Just because its easier to say that then komoany could of possibly done better but apart from that it was a class act by hs blues I thought. Ohhh and the handbags in 544 I think it was with the mackems

 

[marshymcfc]

Had some arseholes taunting Sunderland fans at Watford met station after the game, then kicked off when they had a word back. No class by some, it's wrong to taunt a team after defeat like that unless they were giving it first.

 

[Maintainin]

Anyways ...Block 141 down the front was friggin boss, good as gold :-)

 

[Bozzie]

I think you've probably got to try and look at the bigger picture, 35,000 City fans and 100 or so make twats of themselves, all in all, not too bad really. Unless of course, like St Helens Blue, you're stuck in the middle of it and have to protect your lad. All of us with kids would do the same and I hope he's ok and could al least enjoy the win. For me, the real disappointment is continually having to read about trouble at games and then seeing that it's City fans fighting each other, what is that all about. A very small minority have no respect for anyone else and no doubt the way they behave at football matches just reflects the way they live their lives. Unfortunately those few twats completely ruin someone else's day and they need to be identified and stopped from attending matches.

 

[PistonBlue]

Wembley days do seem to bring out the empty heads don't they?

I like a drink before the game, tend to have a few beers in the car on the way down there and then a few more in the pub. This has never caused me to kick off with anyone, to make a little kid cry, to chin someone because he wouldn't stand up or sit down or sing songs or anything. Snorting coke in front of kids? I mean what the fuck is going on in the brain of someone who thinks this is ok. I also don't get the aggression, the 'Ill do what I want' attitude'.

The truth is some people are scum, and unfortunately quite a few of them call themselves Blues.

 

[Ducado]

I don't understand this over generalisation, it's a very small minority of our support that behaves this way, can people stop all this hand wringing and thinking that this is what we are becoming, because it's not true

It looks like the consensus is that it was a good day all round and the vast majority were well behaved - I certainly didn't see anything major - but it isn't right to ignore things like drug taking and violence that you wouldn't tolerate elsewhere, so surely this forum is as good as anywhere to discuss it.

 

[The Northern Baptist]

You throw large amounts of alcohol and a mainly working class tribal fan base into the mix and problems will arise.

You have different types of people mixing together you don't normally get at any other game. You've got family standers in with south standers/singing section.

The behaviour that might be acceptable at home games to the people around you every game might not be acceptable to the family in the north stand or the older couple in the Colin Bell stand, for example.

It's rare as rockin horse shit to see infighting at home games as every one is in a suitable seat for how they want to watch the match. You see it on the odd occasion at away matches but it happens every time at wembley.

As someone posted earlier, a few family friendly blocks wouldn't go a miss when we go to wembley. Can't be too hard to sort out

 

[Chloeisabignegredofan]

Was in 137 and it kicked off a couple times with a lad and then later on as things hadn't been sorted. At half-time it started up again with a bloke joining in ( his dad?). Wasn't nice to see with young lad and girl in tears as they were terrified as to what was going on around them. Security staff came and chucked them out. Hope it didn't spoil the day for the youngsters.

I was in 137 I was crying I don't like seeing it because it scared me and I am 21 years old and my dad was there to cheer me up but I am fine now x
