Couldn't disagree more. I was brought up watching football at BP, and like at all the old grounds it was a fantastic place to be for youngsters. The smells, language, *** smoke and noise made it what it was - a football ground.
I had a conversation after the Ipswich game, with someone who was saying football wasn't the same any more, that they weren't enjoying the match experience as much as they used to and they really missed the atmosphere of Boothferry Park. The only surprising thing about this, is the fact that I was talking to a 16 year old.
I thought a nice dusting of rust down the back of the neck whenever we scored just added to the matchday experience.
Everyone had to start supporting the team at some point so everybody has been a newbie. Whats the problem with that. If they go week in week out they have as much right to an opinion as anybody. It would be a sad world if everybody had the same opinions.
The atmosphere was good for a long while after we moved grounds, much better than it was during the last few years at Boothferry. The KC atmosphere has only gone downhill since the PL days and in fairness, there hasn't been much to cheer about in home games during that time.
I have to agree with a few of the posters who don't care when someone turned up to watch City. Just because someone has been going longer than someone else or go to more matches etc, does it make them any better than someone else. What about someone who has been going home and away for many years, then for one reason or another can only pick his matches, does that suddenly make him a crap supporter. Everyone has the same thing at heart whether they got on the bus before it left the depot, or if they got on at the last stop the bus visited. Why some have to make out they are far better a supporter than someone else is beyond me.
Just my opinion but I think there's only a couple on here who think they are the only ones who support City and the rest of us are 'plastics'. Just about everyone else sees us all on an even keel. Not going down the road of naming names, just saying like. Lacoste can do one as well. Store 21 on Hessle Road do La Sharke, jumpers, jackets the whole shebang. That's what I'm talking about!!!!!!! Even Chaz would struggle to out do that bastard.
I heard he was all Lonsdaled up. Either way the boy has class. Just off to buy a La Sharke bubble jacket, I appreciate it's a bit out of season but there's no way I'm missing out on one of those bad boys.
That's true to a degree, but someone that's being going longer could well have a better in depth knowledge of things because they have more to compare events to. They can also claim to be a part of what kept the club alive and helped create the environment that has attracted the more recent fans. To ignore that is disrespectful.
That's a fair point but it doesn't give them the right to think every opinion other than theirs is wrong. Neither does it give them the right to call everyone who has the temerity to question a certain tactic or one of our players actual playing ability a plastic. Like I said those who actually think like that are pretty thin on the ground on this forum.
Agree with this. Always annoys me when people moan about the West Stand fans & South Stand fans too. They're all City fans at the end of the day, with their own agenda on how to support the club. There was a small section of crass fans at Blackpool chanting "if you're watching on the telly you're a C***" - Trying to proclaim themselves as the superior fan I think.
I don't disagree. There's also the argument that football today is very different to the event that got people of my era hooked, so perhaps our views are less valid. I certainly wouldn't have kept going had my formative years been the same as the current experience. What I object to is people claiming it means nothing to have been going for decades. It leads to the ridiculous scenario where long standing fans had missed out on tickets to be replaced by someone at their first ever game or people making suggestions that have been seen in the past to be destructive for atmosphere.
I got verbally abused at the Posh away game for sitting down for ****s sake. If my son had been a bit older we'd have stood but under the circumstances decided to go in the seated area. The bloke was complete bellend in any case.
