You can take the boy out of Ashton (I now live in Woodley).............................Indeed, how times have changed.
Nobody admits being from Ashton these days ;-)
Agree with everything I have read on here. The whole thing pisses me off. The latest fad seems to be this 'cmon city' bollocks which we now see flags for, on the end of players tweets and Natalie squealing out before every game. Then we have the prematch bollocks of fans saying we are going to win 4, 5 or 6 nil while away team warming up. One it doesn't happen and it's so disrespectful.
Genuinely wish they would scrap all the entertainment and if they want a good pre match experience just get people with a normal degree intelligence who can serve me a pint in a timely manner.
Ive summed up that the entertainment is the reason we seem to all reach our seats later than most other PL clubs like Dippers, West ham, Everton for example.
Exactly mate. Cant say I blame them though cause our "entertainment" is as lame and corny as fuck. Even the likes of Stoke offer more down to earth fillers that is aimed at football fans and not iphone hipster tourists.You might have a point there and they close City Square far too late.
I don't post here very often, and this belongs in about 5 different topics, but I'm feeling quite ranty about the performance of the team, the old fool of a manager, ticket prices, traipsing round foreign cities to collect tickets, and then on top of all that the mindless cheesy drivel they put on the screens before the game like that bloody "we fight for you" video (no they bastard well don't), the collection of randoms predicting ridiculous scores and shouting "C'mon City" into the microphone, Fanzone Danny and Natalie Pike or whoever it was sharing inane memories with us and most of all those fucking bloody plastic clapping hands c'mon City things they stuck on the screen every time we got a corner yesterday, who are we, fucking MK Dons? I wouldn't mind so much if we ever scored from a corner.
I've been watching City for 50 years, I don't need some braindead fucktrumpet with a keyboard sending me messages telling me what and when to sing and shout. With animated pigging instructions telling me how to clap! And if they want an atmosphere in the ground like they keep droning on that they do then they need to pack in with the cheesy American bollocks that pisses off virtually every football fan over the age of 8, they need to pack in with pricing ordinary fans out of going, they need to pack in treating ordinary fans like shite and making them jump through hoops for the privilege of attending a bloody football match, and they need to allow football fans to enjoy a football match and sing football songs like football fans do.
Needed to get that off my chest. Move along now, nothing to see. Or you can print this off and nail it to Khaldoon's office door.
Totally agree, they ever play music after a goal & I'll be gone & they better get rid of those clapping hands sharpish...who thinks up this shit it's fucking pathetic.I would walk out immediately, regardless of when it happened or who we were playing and I wouldn't come back. Sounds petty but the club is drifting away from me in all areas. I can deal with that if I'm seeing effort on the pitch. Doesn't have to be success but I want effort. As it stands, I'm paying thousands of pounds a year to follow my team, as I have done for 27 years now as a season ticket holder and whilst I'm not asking for a badge of honour from the club, I would like a hint of consideration to what my 'match day experience' should be. I'll tell them, as I do every single time they send one of these bollocks surveys out, my match day experience should be a fucking football match. I don't want clowns and balloons, washed up comedians or a circus. I don't need to hear about how some rich bloke won a car after buying a raffle ticket for 500 notes. I don't need to watch a video of our highly paid players telling me that 'they play for me' before strolling around the pitch like they've won the league by 30 points.
That was a new low.The best was the clapping hands on the big screens lol.. What clown thought of that.
Haters gonna.........I hate Danny fucking Jackson & Natalie fucking Pike.
I hate that bald prick with the exaggerated Mancunianisms & his shit sidekick.
I hate how shit they've made City Square, despite the concept originally having a lot of promise.
I hate the corporatism.
I hate how 98% of the playing squad don't give a fuck, and how the attitudes of those players and the suits towards the club is epitomised by the cheese we have to ensure on matchday.
I hate the shit we have to endure at half time.
I hate the increasing middle-class presence in football. In a way it's always been there, just now it's more obvious. It's on par with Americans and football; I really wish those Yanks would just have continued to hate it as opposed to getting on board.
I hate ticket prices.
I hate how we've become a laughing stock to most opposition fans, both matchgoers and plastics, due to how our club's soul is being eroded.
I hate that I've had to make this post.
The Drifters!Next it will donkey rides... seriously though where do you draw the line?
