Why does nobody sing beyond block 18?? (1 Viewer)

[Travs]

Of course we shouldn't no other fans in the world would dream of showing the owners what they think of them.

Fucking disgraceful City fans at it again.
Maybe all those singing should stay away and then all the shitfields supporters can feel at home and crow about how good it is to have silence. And all the rest can moan about our shit support.
Fuck me can't win sing and we are putting of the team off or we are singing an embarrassing song.
well if you don't like it take some ear plugs.

What an arsehole.

Shitfields? Not heard that before. Let me tell you the reason I went to Shitfields... Because the side I supported were going through their lowest period and needed the support, in what was hopefully a temporary absence from Coventry. The second it may have been made permanent would be the day I stopped going. And for that I got started on by 4 Cov fans on the hill (who I should add I've not seen home or away since)

Weren't you the dickhead who drove all the way to Shitfields to run up and down blowing a whistle outside an empty stadium.

Anyway back to the subject in hand. Most people don't join in, I feel, because singers have always been in the minority. At Highfield Road it was the West Terrace and to a smaller extent the East End and Sky Blue Stand if things got heated. Embarrassingly the Singers Corner is now our West Terrace, it's just been eroded away over the years.

It's not only us with the problem. I was at Birmingham v Wolves last weekend and the only consistent noise came from a Singers Corner populated by a similar bunch, although in general a smaller, but older group than we have at Cov. Apart from a few renditions of Keep Right On, the rest of the ground was pretty quiet, and that was for a tasty local derby. Incidentally I though the Wolves fans were pretty awful, considering I feel their home support is up there with the best. I know that Cov at St Andrews would be far noisier, passionate and numerous.

It is definitely a shame that our West a Terrace has now become a joke, made up of a couple of hundred generally teenagers, singing You're Fucking Shit repeatedly. But a more pressing problem is probably the division between the fans (as I've probably exemplified here!), and the fact that as a group we don't get behind the club in any meaningful way. A look at social media comments generally produces comments such as "not paying x pounds to watch that shit".... Well we have some of the cheapest tickets in the division and can't sell them, so how can we expect to have a top budget to bring players in.

When I have sat in quieter sections of the ground I have wanted to join in with the support but felt too stupid to be the only one in the block singing. If about 5-10 people in each block started I'm sure more would join in.

Must say though, when I have sat in quieter sections of the ground I am grateful to those trying to make an atmosphere. The game would be a lot more boring without them.

To the idiots saying singing is embarrassing, I actually think it defines the club.

I am sure there will be players that would choose to play for Liverpool (by way of example) over a similar sized club because of the fans and the opportunity to walk out onto the pitch with the Kop singing "you'll never walk alone" and be part of that tribalism / belong to that gang.

Breaking news, you shag haribos.

Forgive me, I now know you're mentally retarded. We'll move on.

I thought the atmosphere was better than I've heard it for a while today tbf. fair bit of singing going on down in block 23 today too. Just gets lost and doesn't come across over the massive cavernous empty bits of the stadium

You could hear SISU OUT chants from my corporate seat near Mr Fisher, so it was/is worthwhile as the wanker could hear it too.

Errrrrr. ..no Harvey...its a job & they go firstly for the readies, secondly for the opportunity to gain honours (& more readies), thirdly location, then probably a few other things that I haven't thought of before the fans & atmosphere come into it

...onwards & upwards PUSB

The guy you're calling an arsehole as far as I
Know and I should has never been to a game with CCFC not playing in it. So while you were at the Birmingham v wolves game he was supporting HIS team in Bradford.
As for the four guys who abused you I've not seen them before or after either and I'm not going to go into the two way abuse either.
Oh and by the way I was the dickhead.

I have to give no justification why I happened to be at the Birmingham game to anyone. Have followed City home and away enough over the last 24 years to not worry about that.

Perhaps you/he should travel to the odd game occasionally. Watch a match in France, Greece, Italy, Spain. Gives you a perspective on things. And also blows the notion that English fans are the best in the world right out of the water in a lot of cases.

Italy in October beckons, and I have no hesitation in saying that a couple of weeks watching Milan, Torino, Genoa, Atalanta, Brescia, will be the highlight of the season.

Oh by the way you don't have to justify anything to anyone same as I dont
