Dan LCFC Posted 5 May 2015 Share Posted 5 May 2015 Ditching the clappers imo would be a serious mistake. They create noise accross the WHOLE of the stadium. They have 'enabled' (rightly or wrongly) the majority to get involved with the chants, songs and enthusiasm that's being generated where I stand in SK1. Pre - clappers we struggled to get the Kop involved at a lot of games (the drum has been a great addition also) but now the Kop, East & even West Stand are getting swept along. The purists may prefer that the masses didn't need the clappers, but that really should be secondary when we are now achieving what of us wanted - a fantastic, intimidating atmosphere that pushes the lads on. Don't mess with what's working. Don't see them staying though personally. Don't get me wrong I see exactly what you're saying, but I'd like to hope that these last few games have actually made a bit of a lasting impression on some of our fans, to keep up this kind of atmosphere every game. Appreciate that's unlikely but you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl the Llama Posted 5 May 2015 Share Posted 5 May 2015 If £10000 is correct, it's a shade over 30p per clapper going on a home attendance of 28500-29000! Shocking maths in this thread! Closer to 35p per clapper going on the numbers you've given, who's maths is shocking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cc_star Posted 5 May 2015 Share Posted 5 May 2015 Manager and players all coming out and saying about how good the fans are and how much it helps them. Makes you wonder what it would be like if we could do it in tough times too, although I agree with Pearson when he says it's up to us to give the fans something to cheer about I also think the players could do with that more in a poor run, than a great one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just cos we are bottom but in any game we go a goal down. The standing kop at filbo seemed to step it up when we went behind no matter what our league position.

Livid Posted 5 May 2015 Share Posted 5 May 2015 Whatever the cost it is a drop in the ocean compared to the amount the club would receive for another year in this league. Agree about the aptmosphere, hope we can crank it up another notch on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

promised land Posted 5 May 2015 Share Posted 5 May 2015 Atleast we haven't sunk as low as New York City FC. Dear oh dear http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/32589780/new-york-city-football-fans-given-chants-to-sing-at-mls-games Did that club just spring up then? No coming up the football pyramid like we have. Also the colours and shirts, surely they could've been more inventive than just use the sister club from Manchester.

I'd obviously be grateful, I wouldn't judge them on spelling though, it's irrelevant. This is football forum where we discuss stuff. if sumone talks lyk this and carnt spel anything ryt then I judge the value of opinion. It's not really a coincidence that the people that do this or type in all capitals or some stupid size 20 font for no reason often have extreme or in my opinion stupid posts. I don't know these people, it's just something that I do based on the little amount of information I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume there must be local amateur leagues, but there's no chain linking them to the professional tier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There'd either have to be 50 divisons per tier or amateur teams would have to travel thousands of miles to play each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Izzy Posted 5 May 2015 Share Posted 5 May 2015 Ditching the clappers imo would be a serious mistake. They create noise accross the WHOLE of the stadium. They have 'enabled' (rightly or wrongly) the majority to get involved with the chants, songs and enthusiasm that's being generated where I stand in SK1. Pre - clappers we struggled to get the Kop involved at a lot of games (the drum has been a great addition also) but now the Kop, East & even West Stand are getting swept along. The purists may prefer that the masses didn't need the clappers, but that really should be secondary when we are now achieving what of us wanted - a fantastic, intimidating atmosphere that pushes the lads on. Don't mess with what's working. Well said. It's great to hear pundits, commentators and other Managers talking about our superb atmosphere lately. I imagine we'll never get safe standing or ever return to the old Pen 3 days, so we'll have to make do with clappers to generate noise. Just a shame some other fans on social media have sussed us out and royally taking the piss because it's artificial. But I can live with that.
