I appreciate this may not have prevented what happened yesterday but I've said for a long time now how difficult would it be to put up signs to let people know there is going to be a minutes silence?
There's often people coming in late or in the concourse who are unaware it's going on.
Of course if twats are going to start shouting deliberately that's another issue but often I think it's just people who don't know its happening.
Say that when Sunderland visit us in Feb.Give over. It's not 1983.
Condemn the arseholes yesterday of course, but not buying this hand-wringing that it is 'every week' or that it's getting worse.
Is it? Only missed a couple of away games and yet yesterday was the 1st time I've seen anything approaching genuine trouble. Saw more last season.
You get obnoxious pricks in the away end, but that's always been so, but we're taking bigger away followings now so there are just more of them and issues like standing in gangways become more apparent. Seeing nothing now I didn't see 15 years ago.
Say that when Sunderland visit us in Feb.
In the 2 years / 18 months since lockdown ended I’ve seen more incidents than in the previous 30 years of watching us.
When I say incidents I don’t mean full on fighting but pockets of trouble / more aggression. I’ve certainly seen more people actively taking drugs with no care of who is watching
Maybe before I was naive and didn’t see it - maybe threads on here have made me more aware so I see it
The fact that the cub (and other clubs) are making statements about behaviour says it all
What are you actually suggesting is going to happen?
Nothing will happen when we play Sunderland, just like the last 3 times we've played them.
I can’t believe someone thought that starting a tweet with “One of the few good things Hitler did” was a completely normal way of beginning a rant
They’ll come down on coaches, drink somewhere outside the City Centre - Probably Hinckley or Nuneaton, claim they’ve “taken owaaaa man” then scurry off after the match, as alwaysNothing will happen when we play Sunderland, just like the last 3 times we've played them.
We've always been impeccable at silences and shown great respect.
I remember being at Old Trafford for the 30th anniversary of the Munich Air Disaster in 88 and you could hear a pin drop. Alex Ferguson publicly praised us.
Too many walkers travel away nowadays and make away days a lot less enjoyable.
Honestly I'd have another think about the labels you wear. You aren't going to change the association alone.Not everyone who wears the labels is signifying they want trouble, I do and hate fighting at the football, never done coke either, unfortunately I recognise that that is the association but pl don’t generalise it as everyone.
I wasn’t there today bput hoped it was people coming in late, disgraceful if it wasn’t but as we know morons are morons and we have had it at city, even the apparently higher educated wasps fans who made cheap jibes at Coventry being blitzed to try and look clever…cock wombles the lot without manners.
Absolutely nobody has said it’s just Coventry fans. Yes, the obnoxiousness from a growing number is getting worse and just because you don’t see it doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.
Football fan can’t enjoy himself without being a pits of society c**t.
You're also allowed to agree that Coventry fans doing it is wrong but then also recognise this isn't just a football fan thing. These people do it at darts, boxing, horse racing and cricket.
Are these incidents not just more signs of a growing confidence amongst the youth to flout law and order and show very little respect to anyone. It seems endemic right through Schools and in society. The police become powerless because the courts are pathetic and too soft. There is always some do gooder coming up with excuses as to why they behave like they do.
As for the drugs , how do you stop it ? It’s hardly difficult to smuggle in a tiny amount of white powder to stadiums.
As for Burnley, home of the BNP etc , I doubt they are all angels either .
How many City fans were up there ?
Didn’t say it was, but labelling cov as the only disrespectful team in the world is a joke, what would you like me to do about it? Track them down and hand them to the police for singing ?That's not a justification
I went to the loo yesterday before kick off and there was a queue out onto the concourse. Imagine my surprise that there were about 10 lads waiting for the cubicles and the urinals were all free!Drug taking at games has always gone on and is nothing new.
GrassIt was a f****** disgrace and it’s getting worse.
Too many coke heads following us. The bogs are full of them at home too.
FFS the police must monitor this forum. Time for the heavy hands of the law to round them up.
And if twats try to stop the arrests kin give em a good slap, and arrest them as well.
AutobhansAlthough I'd not like to hear any more from Burnley fan Doug, I'm a little curious about the other few good things Hitler did.
Yesterday was the first time I have been since I was very young - It’s so easy to see why the BNP got in there, massive small town mentality vibe, every pub very cliquey (the sort where you are the centre of attention as you are not a local) not a particularly welcoming place at all - Cov gets it’s stick and rightly so but I’m proud of its diversityAlthough I'd not like to hear any more from Burnley fan Doug, I'm a little curious about the other few good things Hitler did.
Mate you must have been at a different game - the announcement was clear.I'm not defending it but there was no PA about a minute's silence and the noise was fans coming up from the concourse
You couldn't hear the PA in the concourseMate you must have been at a different game - the announcement was clear.
Agreed that the noise was originally from the concourse but then once it had quietened down some starting singing that Burnley is a shithole.
I get that and I can understand why some people coming up from the concours wouldn’t know - totally appreciate that pointYou couldn't hear the PA in the concourse
