Where do the glory hunters sit?

[TCIB]

Work and life has kept me away, unfortunatly keeping a roof over my head is more important, only just but still more important. Which required me to travel extensively and some times outright live abroad.

I'll get to as many matches as i can do, seems like work is gonna be here a few months so thats good.

I myself welcome new fans, i dont care what the reasons are i only need care about myself and my relationship with the club.

Also remember ffp, i had this with a rag yesterday, he always has a nibble about how we are coonts for sticking the v's up at uefa (which i don't beleive we have) then has a crack about new plastics.
I reminded him of his own clubs "fans" and the fact we need this for revenue. He cant have it both ways, moaning we are not playing by ffp then saying its a disgrace we have new plastics.

Dumb rag

Fuck me!!!

I'm not calling anybodys 'blueness'

Ahhh fuck it, I'm on a loser anyway.

If it was your first season, now that we're good and all that, your hardly going to batter your keyboard in reply are you?

All the best.

You're getting to wrapped in reasons why people do/don't go to games mate and it always ends the same.

Simple facts show that we've had plenty of seats for new fans and have done for quite some time. If they fill them then it's 'club full of plastics', if the seats stay empty then it's 'City have no fans except shit ones'. Either way, we're fucked.

There's blokes who've been going 40 years but do nothing but sit, piss and moan for 90minutes about anything. Plenty of sub human arseholes around the ground too, I'm all in favour of new fans, those empty seats won't fill themselves and hey, maybe one day blues can go to COMS without some half arsed hooligan wannabe questioning their previous attendances.

I'm not a violent man but I would slice the throat of anyone stupid enough to question my allegiance.

Besides, check the dates of when a lot of the older posters got in to City, most coincide with MCFC being fucking brilliant. It's not just the kids who are glory hunting but the silver streaked piss balls in CB stand!

This is a shit thread.....have never had the money to attend on a week in week out basis and dont mind admitting it (still havent).....does it make me a glory hunter....er no. I went to every Europa league match last year at home and plenty of others, have a ticket for Sat and Wednesday.

Listened to all the games on GMR I didnt attend when we were in the third tier of English football (attended around a half dozen), went Wembley for the play off final without a ticket and could not afford a ticket off the touts. Watched in a pub next to Wembley with some cockney red watching the champs league final replay in the background - screamed the place down when Dickov scored and weaver saved those pens... was at Hillsborough watching Keegan's army destroy Wednesday with the new Ali B ruling the pitch, chanted ALI ALI ALI, hands waving up and down in the air...

So when I turn up to watch my beloved blues on Sat in a seat I ve never sat in before and probably will never sit in again, do I really have to sit around self trumped up tossers concentrating on negative bullshit instead of being immersed into a carnival of happy bubbly blues???

If this unwelcoming atmosphere is what our club is going to become then I might just not bother trying to introduce my nephew to the blues as this is not what I remember from the spirit and passion that used to exist in the KIPPAX. ctid - shit thread, sort it out!

Fair play never judge anybody in a blue shirt not everybody can afford every game.

Do you know what mate, I started this thread, and your absolutely spot on.

Glory hunters = Global domination

Stop battering them.
We need them!

I suspect that for those of us who have endured the last 4 decades as City fans our future success will feel more intense.

Welcome all new fans and stop this nonsense!

Yeah my mate who I have known for the last two years is from Malta (man u land) he's a Juve fan as in Malta you either support an Italian team or man u. Over the past two seasons he has started coming to a few city matches with me and he is now pretty much a blue...should have seen his passion when we were both at the charity shield....even I was pretty shocked and I like to shout and sing as much as anyone. All this is nonsense and credit to Gaz for admitting as much. Lets welcome new blues and create a buzzing atmosphere that we can all enjoy ctid :)

Fuck me and hang me by the balls, I was only asking where they sit!!

Oh and as a side note, post counts and registration dates on a forum does not make a 'bigger blue.' ;-)

 

[TheMightyQuinn]

Mate, I'm the last one to pull the bigger blue bullshit that's so popular on here. In fact I keep a lot of things low key so most have no idea re my attendance habits etc.

My post count on here is nothing but a magnet for every new cretin wanting to make a name for himself. It's how I earned my chops, I had to routinely humiliate numerous posters until I was left alone!

There have been instances of late where blues have had their allegiances questioned simply for entering a part of the ground that they've not been in before. Or to be more precise, a section of COMS that certain dick heads haven't seen you in yet which automatically makes you a 'new fan'. As such, this was always going to be a hot thread.

I see the bigger blue stuff on here on a daily basis, it makes me laugh where it once rankled. I've learnt to deal with it and quickly realised that the 'biggest blues' are full of shit and the quiet ones are the ones who are the 'super fans' yet they do not want/need any recognition.

Real blues move in silence.

New ish fans wanting to look cool start shit with newer fans.

 

[ste.sully]

I sit in CBL3 by default, if there is anyone sat further back then two rows behind me then I reckon they could be. Although TBH I don't think we have real glory hunters yet, I think most of them are old supporters coming back

At the moment, yes.

You have to remember the first season at Eastlands, we pretty sold out for every league game, so its not as if the fanbase isn't there.

Like I said, I have one new fan near me and he is made very welcome.

The only thing is that he has a beard and short hair, oh and he's on the large side.

Who shall I report him to? Was thinking Garry Cook but after all this 9/11 stuff on the telly I was thinking maybe Custis or the FBI

 

[Yelloways Army]

I had a season ticket from 1984 to 2008, but had to give it up for a couple of reasons. Since then, managed to attend about 5 times a season, I am sure the people around me wouldn't recognise me as I get a seat where I can. Didn't think I would be labelled a glory hunter/plastic. I will be sure be bring my 1984 season ticket with me for the Napoli game!

Beards are good and should be encouraged.

Jesus, Geoff Capes and Carlos Tevez are all proud, bearded men.

 

[bluecapi]

I think I must be a plastic fan then.

I don't go to games - I can't. Not enough money and I'm the only footie fan in the family. Although I've tried to get my daughter interested, she's still not fussed about the divine game, and I can't justify either the money to go with a disinterested child or the time to go at weekends on my own (single parenthood has its benefits as in I don't have an idiot of an ex husband around, but it also has its downsides).

Should I trot out my Maine Road credentials to justify it though? Used to go week in week out with my dad as a child and have been to matches since before sprog came along. Does that make me not plastic? Or should I just hang my head in shame that I have to watch matches on tv?

I think I'll just say fuck it to anyone who is mean spirited enough to doubt the fact that I'm a fan of this club and will be till I turn up my toes. I don't have anything to prove and as a female, at least I don't have to get into the "my dick is bigger than yours" type contests that go on ;-)

 

[kinkysleftfoot]

I know most of the people who sit near me.
For the Swansea game there was one new face near me.
So my question is this:

Where are our new plastics going to sit?

Why call them plastics?.......I would welcome any new supporters, if we wish this club to grow lets welcome them all and teach them the history of this great club, remember when we are gone they will be the old breed!

At home, safe and secure with their TVs

i really find the second paragraph quite offensive and the first the opposite of the second, have they been here forty years or are they glory hunters?

no bigga blue shit here but i'm in my fifties as are a few of my mates who are regulars, i don't go and piss and moan, even on here
and like a few of us old gits we weren't perhaps into internet forums as some of the younger guns were
dates of joining don't have any bearing on length of supporting city

i'll take my silver hair to CB today as i have before, i'll have a piss but not moan, except about the shit half time service, then i'll ask me kids to show me how to get on the internet thingy again

i just think you have a thing about oldies

 

[am333]

Aren't these topic getting a lil old now days...any club that is in a decent league with awesome players and CL games will have supporters that are not local... comes with success and being mentioned in news....consider even having ppl buying shirts and stuff, and probably never attend a home game for as long as they live. (me included...although i did try to get a ticket for Bayern game which means going over 5 country borders)
So yeah don't worry m8 ....many plastics sit at their home watching games on telly from different time zones. Deal with it....or don't
Your call...

Chelsea didn't get glory hunters. Their crowds are no bigger now than they were in the past. I think it will be the same for us. We'll get the odd ones here n there - like that father and daughter in the Family Stand last season who weren't celebrating AJohnson's winning goal, they were just sat there clapping and they were clear to see on screen - but it's still the same faces home and away, in the pubs, on the trains, on the coaches, in the stands.

The difference here is that he's a City fan. He hasn't got a wrdrobe of Liverpool shirts from the 80's, United shirts from the 90's, a Blackburn shirt, the odd Arsenal shirt and a few recent Chelsea shirts and has now decided to be a City fan as they has a chance to win stuff. There will be a shit load if these fickle fuckers around the world - even some in this country. Usually these are losers in life who attach themselves to a good team to get some reflected glory in their lives. It's not the same as being a life long City fan who hasn't been in a position to have gone to all the games down the years!

I was just using the age thing as an example. I go to most games with my dad who's in his 50s so I've nothing against you old timers :)

I meant also that a lot of blues who've been fans for 35/45 years did indeed come to the club at a time of great success. 1967's glory hunter can turn into 2011's hardcore fan just as a 2011 new boy will hopefully stick it out and be an old timer come 2040, trophies or not!

As for the stuff re the forum and when we joined, I absolutely agree and I'd never use someones registration date against them unless I was trying to wind them up.

A blue is a blue is a blue.

I've already taken photos of Chinese with their new city shirt inside the stadium, and that was 2 seasons ago! Must be plenty more daytrippers now.
