Fair enough point WS. But the latter pic is five yards away

I know, I tried to find a similar picture with either this years or last years kit. For some reason there weren't many :thinking about:

There is a significant change in shade though.

Not really. If you look real hard you can see a couple of city shirts in the crowd

cyril · Nov 4, 2012

Not really. If you look real hard you can see a couple of city shirts in the crowd. And it was last year with bigger crowds

Otis · Nov 4, 2012

This season's kit is very wishy washy and pale.

Otis · Nov 4, 2012

Just like the football.

If that was the case every home side would have the same problem.....empty seats or fans wearing their own colours.

Precisely. Ridiculous thread.

Why don't they just try the Brazil one and see??

Why? Did you not read what I said?

How many teams play in just one colour, the same colour tops, shorts and socks and have all the same colour seats and have as many empty seats as we do?

Do you think Robins is ridiculous then?

I see no problem whatsoever with looking at all the problems and every possible solution.

Otis · Nov 4, 2012

Leeds play in all white but many of fans wear the colours of their scarf, white, yellow and blue.

Just think we should look at other clubs and see if they play in one colour, with that same colour used for all their seating and if they do, whether or not they are play to more than half empty stadiums.

It is certainly at least worth looking at rather than just dismissing it as ridiculous without any analysis.

Nick · Nov 4, 2012

What about teams who play in green? Do they blend in with the grass?

cyril · Nov 4, 2012

Has anyone ever played football? You never really focus in a split second that you have to pick out a team mate

Maybe that's why Plymouth haven't had the best of times recently!

cyril · Nov 4, 2012

Glance at the pictures. Just glance and see what collies jump out

Pretty sure that unless you are Jay Tabb the grass isn't at eye level.

cyril · Nov 4, 2012

Go on Otis. You're on it. Good to have you onboard

Tonylinc · Nov 4, 2012

If this really is a problem (I can't see how though) then the answer is simple......use a yellow/green/pink/whatever ball.

cyril · Nov 4, 2012

Are you stoned Tony??

Not yet mate....but I'm working on it!

Didn't we use a Yellow ball yesterday ?

Otis · Nov 4, 2012

The fact was on Saturday that, that was a very, very empty stadium and the passing in the first 20 mins was nothing short of shocking. Never seen so many passes go behind the player aimed at and straight out of play in such a short period of time.

I don't care if anything sounds daft or not, we should look at anything and everything. We are in no position to do otherwise.

Tonylinc · Nov 4, 2012

I agree Otis, we should look at anything which can give us an advantage, but don't you think that our poor passing could be down to the fact that we have poor players!

cyril · Nov 4, 2012

Yeah but think about it. All our players can't be that bad in this league. You might say mcgoldrick dont have a problem but he's only looking at the goal

Well, would agree but as the game wore on the passing got much better.

I have a suggestion and it's not as daft as it sounds. Cover the empty seats in black cloth as they do between the home and away fans by Singer's Corner.

Or ... and I know it wouldn't be too popular, play a game (JPT?) at the Ricoh and let the City team play in our away kit and see if there is anything at all in this.

It might well prove to be ridiculous but if we don't try anything to see if that makes any difference we'll never know for sure will we!

Let's just try something different and see if it changes anything.

cyril · Nov 4, 2012

Absolutely Otis.
Can robins be our new JH?

praveen1 · Nov 4, 2012

we are the sku blues

cyril · Nov 4, 2012

And stoners by the looks of it

Only from 1962.

We have had sky blue before, but many other kits over the years and no sky blue at all for 40 years between 1922 and 1962.

We are the Sky Blues, but haven't always been. We were the Bantams for an absolute age.

Astute · Nov 4, 2012

How fookin ridiculous? ManU players can be seen becauae they wear white shorts

So we can't manage a top 6 finish because we play in Sky Blue? How the fook do Man C manage? When you are on a pitch you are not looking as high as the fans or empty seats. If this were the case then the best results would always favour the away side as they hardly would ever have a colour clash. Get real. Our problems go much further than the colour of our kit.

cyril · Nov 4, 2012

You really saying the players don't look up to see a pass?

Otis · Nov 4, 2012

Do Man U play in a one-coloured kit and in front of a stadium full of empty seats in the same colour as the kit?

Do Man City play in a one-coloured kit and in front of a stadium full of empty seats in the same colour as the kit?

And players do look up. If they don't it's no wonder our passes go awry.

cyril · Nov 4, 2012

Would it be worth getting them to warm up in sky blue??

Astute · Nov 4, 2012

Look up how high? Billboards are at eye level. Players are at eye level. So why are away wins a lot lower than home wins where the majority of the fans are wearing the colours of the home side? Straws and clutching to me.

So the Manure players can pick out each other easily as they can pick out each others shorts straight away? No white in the stands?
