You'd think that perhaps the Club could get behind this and mass produce a flag or tshirt or something for every seat to have maximum impact?!... If only![/QUOTE]
Noooooo !! I’m all for the original idea ‘but when clubs mass produce flags or dare I say it Them
bloody clapper things it just looks cheesy, Leicester and Chelsea are two that spring to mind.
Far better if it’s the fans own work, less organised but definitely more of a spectacle, like when
You see it done at Anfield.

Slightly off topic, does anybody here remember a number of years ago on the Danny Baker show, the story of a man who as a child had a bow tie made in his club's colours? The only problems were that this bow tie was 2 foot wide and made out of plywood (he wore it with the use of a leather strap around his neck)!! The next match he attached it to a pole and made it look like he was some kind of Roman Centurion! One of the funniest things I've heard

true, i know what you mean. I was looking at it more from the angle that your, dare i say it "proper" city fans will have a scarf/flag whatever, but the accommodate the day trippers it would at least give them something.

There's many things done at Anfield which I would love to see at the City!!

It was cringey enough when they had to print a fact sheet about CCFC for the morecambe game along with song words.

 

[Ricketts]

I always wear my replica shirt and scarf anyway.

Since when did you need social media to tell you how to be a fan?

Good luck with it however, the facebook generation love this kind of shit. It does make me worry for the future of humanity though.

It's because they can't think for themselves.

That Mr Blobby post has me confused. He's pink and it's 2018, what a weird reference to bring up unprovoked.

not a fan of social media but loads of our fans do not wear colours, some even look down on those that do,ridiculous i know

would be great to have a sky blue wall like dortmund have their yellow wall of fans, instead everyone wears dark colours

social media gets word out, hopefully alot of those that dont wear colours will put on a cov shirt for the day, it will look good

 

[standupforcity]

All I have to say is: Bring Back Rattles !

I've still got mine! Can't bring it though I don't think!

 

[Leamington Pete]

Cool, I only get old faithful out for special occasions .... our first ever play off game surely qualifies.

Bloody hell. Just the scarf will do thanks.

The club should have stalls outside the turnstiles for games like this selling scarves and flags for a fiver.

 

[Specs WT-R75]

Scarf packed for the plane. Roll on Saturday... might be a bit nippy by 9pm so it might end up being useful

The drum is okay but mr drummer man needs not drum to every syllable of a song. Drum the beat rather than the words.

didn't realise Ginger Baker had a log in.

I expect to see some of the chancers outside the ground selling such things

Forest Green Rovers allow a few of their fans to use rattles I hear. As a kid on the Spion Kop in the 60's you weren't a City fan if you didn't have a sky blue rattle. My dad made me one, bloody big chunky thing, the rattle not my dad !

 

[Nick]

Can we get a Lincoln air raid siren?

Yeah, I remember having a rattle, but I used to keep throwing it out of the pushchair, complaining to my parents that I was now 7 1/2 and all the kids at school were now starting to pick on me.

 

[Bumberclart]

I'm going to have to wear my 87/88 Hummel shirt.
Last time I wore it was at Wembley last year, so its now a lucky omen.

 

[bringbackrattles]

Strange having to ask fans to wear something sky blue. I always wear a City shirt to games, and a sky blue bobble hat in the winter. I noticed Millwall fans here at the Ricoh, hardly any of them wore their teams colours, got told its so they can go in pubs and because of their reputation they go unnoticed.

 

[Legia Sky Blue]

In my teen years wearing colours was seen as naff and 'scarfers' was a term of ridicule for those that did. Things started to change when Keegan managed Newcastle & their whole support seemed to start wearing replica shirts. Anyhow I know its ridiculous & times have moved on but I have never bought a City shirt for myself, although I did for my kids when they were growing up & I kind of still think it looks ridiculous for grown, mostly unfit men to wear them. That said the continental thing of fans wearing scarves round their wrists & waving them above their heads in unison is visually very impressive & I would have thought provides a great lift to the teams they support.

The scarf on the wrist is nothing new .
We were doing it at age 14 in 71,had to be silk though .

Remember Wingy the hooligan craze in the 70's of fans nicking rivals scarves ? A few of the West End lads had quite a collection. When I was fifteen I was getting on the coach outside the Hawthorns, when I felt a tug on my scarf, I turned round to see what was happening to be smacked in the mouth by a WBA yob. And he got my scarf Bastard !

I Lost mine to some 6'-6" Tottenham fan on Swan Lane one Saturday, crestfallen.

A lad from my old school Caludon Castle had loads of rival scarves, he'd grab one and leg it as fast as he could. He'd show them off and be really proud at his collection !

Looks like Wayne Rooney after he re signed for his beloved Everton !

Not sure anyone needs social media to tell you how to be a fan, as I emphasised in my OP I have no right to tell fans how to support their team, ultimately I just want to help improve the atmosphere for what is a huge game.

Can't believe he then went on to host the One Show.

*Thumbs up*

All feedback is appreciated, there have been a few different people on the drum this season, not just myself so it does differ in terms of how people play it.

I will take this into account on Saturday though!

 

[CovBurty]

post match. I think I saw more scarfs than usual(and more fans) but not the swinging of the scarfs I was expecting. although we only had the pen to start the wave. maybe saving it for Meadow Lane. wher we can get on the pitch and swinging from their crossbar with our scarfs. if we win that is.
