Todays Pitch Invasion. City v Swansea

[jrb]

Harry.

Have you been to Wembley lately?

Searches outside and inside the stadium, painted lines on the walls to measure banners, escalator stewards, groups of stewards walking around the concourse keeping an eye on fans, announcements to tell fans to take their seats as kick off is 10 minutes away, little plastic flags to wave placed on your seat, pre-match entertainment, acrobats and dancers, an Opera Singer for the national anthem and abide with me, full time, pop music so loud you can't hear yourself think, never mind sing City songs.

These things have been brought in by the people running football in this country who are apparently going to punish City for a pitch invasion by City fans. These people running football in this country don't want football fans, they want robots watching football.

They want people like you Harry.

The Prem won't say 'Alright lads, your team plays such sublime football, so we're going to do nowt - that's the rule...... if a club can convince us the fans were so emotional because of the team's brilliance then we'll allow it'.

The pitch invaders will find that too complex to understand- after all, they’re only having fun - it’s the “nobody tells me what to do” mentality. Fuck the rest of the fans who wanted to enjoy the win by applauding the players off the pitch.

Our fan base is now made up a higher percentage of Harry Enfields Old Git types than any other premiership team.

But I bet they are good at applauding quietly.

Nailed it.

I won't insult fellow City fans. Don't know why some do. Been going since 67 and believe me, our crowd was louder and livelier and more hostile towards visiting teams in the 60s, 70s and 80s than it is now. I don't have a problem with our happy pitch invasion. But me not having a problem with it is totally irrelevant.

It was different then Harry.

Football has moved on.

But something's never change.

It's a shame you never got the opportunity to speak to......

And those 1000's Hereford fans on the pitch.

Look, go and live in your PC football bubble, along with the Dinasours who run football in this country.

In the 60s, 70s and 80s, our fanbase - the ones who went to games were largely from average or socially deprived areas. But with seating and current prices we have far more middle class types from Hale, Bramhall etc than in the old days. They tend to be quiet in the stadiums, apart from the half hourly 'C'mon City'. But it's the way it is. The Old Toilet - with 70,000 plus is like a library.

Youre obviously just on the wind up now pal and starting to look a bit daft or desperate for a row. See jrb's post.

Oh dear. You think you’re so right don’t you. What a wonderful fan you are. The rest of us are put to shame by your edifying views. Were you on the pitch? Or watching from your sofa

Yep, correct.

I was there but not on the pitch. But I wouldn't criticise the fans that were. Not sure if that makes me a wonderful fan, or makes my views edifying, You decide I guess.
