The name sounds like something from a kids TV programme so I think I know what a lot of the answers will be but I'll ask the question anyway. Is there stigma attached to travelling to away games on Tiger travel? I'll just clarify that I don't go to many away games, 2 or 3 a season. When I do I usually go on TT so this thread isn 't meant as a way to start a tirade of abuse at the fun bus users as I'm one of them. That said the chant of, ' if you've come on Tiger travel you're a ****' on Saturday got me thinking. Looking at those singing it I personally wasn't a bit bothered, water off a ducks back to an old bastard like me but my son was with me and he asked me why they would sing that. The lads who were singing looked like backward tramps with poor dental hygiene and cheap, fake 'designer' clothing. A few appeared to have special needs as well and some of the worst hair cuts/ do's I've ever seen. One had a wet look perm for ****s sake. I was reliably informed they were all off the same 'cool' coach. I may get criticised for slagging off this bunch but they basically were calling me and my lad a **** so it's justified in my eyes. He also asked what that swear word meant as he only ever heard it at City, I didn't give him a full explanation. After the game and on the way back he brought it up again and said he didn't understand why City fans would call other City fans names for using an alternative mode of transport to themselves. Those were not his exact words but that was the gist of what he was saying. I told him I had come to the conclusion that it was to do with the Huddersfield ticket/ transport debacle and was probably a one off. Would I be right in saying that or is it a widely held belief that those who use TT are like the nerds at school, social outcasts, if you like,who should be avoided at all costs? Whatever the consensus is rest assured I'll still use if it suits. I'm out and proud. I also wonder if any other clubs fans actively seek to cause division between themselves at away games? Like I say it might have been a one off but I'd be interested to know what others think. Apologies for typo's as sent on my phone.
I don't ever remember a chant of 'if you've come on Tiger Travel you're a ****', so I can only assume it was referencing the Huddersfield situation.
I was surprised by that chant, mainly through it's moronic nature. I know football chant aren't renowned for their intellectual value but that one was just plain embarrassing.
It was in the concourse prior to the game on this occasion and I was stood right next to the lads singing it. I've never heard it before either, hence why I think it's to do with the Huddersfield fiasco.
Were these the lads fighting amongst themselves? I would hope they were referring to Huddersfield in that if you don't boycott the game then they don't approve of you!
You can't win with these types, one day your a **** for watching a game on telly, one day your a **** for being a bus ****er, and another day you will surely be a **** for actually going to the game instead of watching on telly. If I ended up standing next to one of these in the bogs, I would surely urinate up their leg and remind them I'm a **** and therefore cannot aim properly or efficiently.
Your most welcome. As much as I'd like to claim it as my own, I must confess its not original, you have that whipper snapper by the name of Jay to thank for that, as I'm sure you're already well aware, football friend.
I was near them in the concourse, but far enough away to avoid the beer explosion. There was a rather comprehensive list of things you could do (or be) to qualify for such description, as well as 'go on tiger travel'.
Tiger Travel is ****e to be fair. Everytime i've used it, i've sat next to someone who hasn't a clue about City. The last time was against Liverpool at Anfield and on the way home, after we'd just been stuffed and performed abysmally, the twat pulled out a Liverpool scarf which he'd concealed under his jacket all the way there.
Tiger travel may or may not be ****e (I've never used it) but that shouldn't be a reason to be classed as a **** if you used it?
The thing that amazed me the most about my fellow bus ****ers on Saturday was that two, not one but two were ladies with beards. They looked Amish. Quite impressive I must say.
