Brilliant! Our Trust leader and wannabe board member enhances the notion of some fans being more equal than others with sweeping generalisations (and btw I'm a s/t holder but can't stand all this hierarchical bullshit) Nice to see that you represent ALL City fans!

You've gotta be kidding !
The useless buggers behind the bars are unable to cope when just 5000 people show up.
They'll shit a brick when nearly 30,000 are there!
i totally agree...they are clueless at the best of time and never seem to have enough of anything to cope with the few that decide to eat or drink. its not like they didnt know this was coming or anything.i just hope they are well stocked and staff up accordingly.

I don't like when people moan whenever the ball isn't hurried forward in a frenzy and we actually have the temerity to pass it around and keep possession, but this happens at league games also.
Someone coming to their first game of the season has as much chance of knowing their stuff as anyone else, it's not as if watching glorious League One football every week gives regular matchgoers more insight into the beautiful game. (How to overhit a cross though, that we can wax lyrical about)

Spot on! Totally representative of how the club is run too. There's clearly a problem when engaging with the community beyond the core support so rather than try and understand why that is and encourage them back let's just dismiss them, mock them and send them packing with their tails between their legs. Then we can get on with moaning how empty matchdays are :jerkit:
Never understood why some people struggle with the idea that if you put thousands of people in the same place at the same time, you are going to get loads of differing opinions. If people groan at an over hit cross, so what, what difference does it make? Fans have hardly got on the players back all season, I only wish they were a little more vocal at times
Sheffield United were booed off the pitch at half time the other night for the umpteenth time this season. If that happened at the Ricoh, this board would go into meltdown and the hystercial superfans would be out in force. It won't tonight BTW, fans will be right behind them from the off.

Tesco Stand, Block 19, Row NN, Seat 15.
You can come and ask me, but I don't think you will like the response.

Thanks for the compliment.
You do realise though I am being very tongue in cheek here. We need a packed stadium and to get a packed stadium we need new blood and fans returning who haven't been for some time.

Well true, but there are a percentage of fans who up and off at the first sign of failure or lack of good football.
Then, when we are having a bit of success, come back and expect the football to be really good and for us to win easily.
They therefore then get pissed off again really quickly and really easily and can have a lack of patience towards the team.
The end game here is to get to Wembley not turn on a show of great fast flowing football.

They'll also no doubt snap up all the tickets for the CL semi at the Nou Camp in 2016.

"Same old City, not coming to watch this shite again"
How about
I hope you dont come back, we want to keep the attendances down
Last night Cov had a chance to keep some of these "New Fans" and hopefully the first half performance will encourage them to come back
And if one of them is lucky enough to sit next to you, you can tell him that Marlon has left or even direct them to the nearest toilet.
A great man once said "Football without fans is nothing"
UOTE=Otis;356497]I'd ready and am expecting one or more of the following questions or comments;
1. 'You're in my seat!' (this despite me being an ST holder at the Ricoh since its opening and in this same seat all season long)
2. Is this Block 18/19/20/21 etc. etc.?
3. Is this the Ricoh Arena?
4. Why isn't Marlon King playing?
5. Do they have any toilets here?
6. Are we the ones in blue?
7. Andy Thorn has lost a lot of weight hasn't he!
Any more to add?
Have certainly encountered the first and second ones before (Chelsea) and have seen number one happen on a number of occasions to others too.
Seems some people who have hardly ever been before or even never been before seem to know an awful lot more than you about the stands and blocks and seating and which seat is theirs despite your protestations and reasoning!
The other thing that will make me chuckle tonight will be the amount of people who go down to the malls for food or the toilet and they come back up the steps into the stands and completely forget where they were sitting and stand there puzzled for a couple of minutes scratching their heads.
Am also expecting to see me having to get up and down out of my seat several times when people are late, leave early or find they were in the wrong seats/rows.
Really don't understand these people who just sit anywhere either. At the Sheff U JPT game one bloke was sitting in the wrong seat and clearly in the wrong seat. The correct ticket holder came along and this bloke simply would not move. Even when the steward came up to the seat he refused to budge. Took the steward a good little while to get him shifted!
Glad to have new people here, but it does carry some complications with it for sure![/QUOTE]
