I've been picked off at Forest and no city fans wanted to know. Yet the same era I recall City fans offering out every bar in Nottingham they went past when it was Notts County. Poor stuff. Edited to add that's not a call to action for city fans. But my original post was generally just Summing that City fans have been an odd, inconsistent lot over the years.

The singing during Andrea bocelli. The galatasary singing at Leeds fans. Playing 'the big I am' at Notts County, Orient, Charlton and Southend but go AWOL at Forest, West Ham etc. the occasional glimpse of brilliance was at Wimbledon in the league cup semi. We were very very good at 'doing' Wembley. The great escape season too. Totally, the biggest disappointments have usually been when we travel in large numbers, Cov, Forest & Derby a few years ago in the cup. I get keyed up for it only to find most aren't really bothered about vocal support. Even at Stoke (relegated to League 1) when the players needed us most the support was abysmal for the entire match. Those Wembley appearances in the 90s were absolutely brilliant though.

Well, if your point is that fans "give it large" somewhere nice and easy, and not so much at rougher places ...then that applies to most fans. If you'd said, City fans have gone AWOL at West Ham or Chelsea ... I would agree. Not Forest, Derby or Cov.. (well, you can get "picked off" anywhere if you're unlucky. I've had trouble at places, but it doesn't necessarily mean we were AWOL)

City fans all over the city centre barging into boozers offering out the punters- mainly shoppers, pensioners and old working class smokers) drinkers watching the racing - v Notts County. Following seasons v Forest, not a dickie bird in Nottingham city centre. Presumably as there'd have been many willing to take up the offer We didn't exactly act with any class in either situation.

I'd agree that Derby in the cup a few years ago wasn't very good. Most of the trips before that to Forest/Derby/Cov have been reasonably ok - with the exception of the odd crap game. But I'd agree that our support is hit and miss. As you say Stoke away 2007-08 was terrible - especially in the 2nd half when they needed us most ...although our support at Barnsley a couple of weeks earlier had been very good.

I take your point. But we've taken right mobs to Forest on numerous ocasions over the last 50 years, so I wouldn't use that as the best example. But Chelsea or West Ham in the 70's. Yeah, I would definitely say turnouts there were pretty lousy (although we did have a fairly decent turnout at Chelsea Boxing Day 1979 ... when it kicked off big time afterwards)

K1FOX Posted 1 February 2020 Posted 1 February 2020 Decent today when we’re singing ‘we’re on our way’ other than that nobody wants to know still. But better than before

whetstonefox Posted 1 February 2020 Posted 1 February 2020 Loads seem to leave early today, quite embarrassing to hear their fans singing ‘is there a fire drill’ especially with it being 2-2 and all to play for

OadbyBlue Posted 1 February 2020 Posted 1 February 2020 Today was weird, dead for first 15 but alright after that especially from our first till their 2nd

Unabomber Posted 1 February 2020 Posted 1 February 2020 Fans were chanting **** VAR! But then towards the end were chanting VAR VAR VAR! I don’t get that, you can’t have it both ways ffs. Also loads were streaming out from 88 mins which was weird, as it was 2-2 and we were looking pretty good. Also it was an early KO so can’t have the usual excuses for leaving early.

Was bound to happen really. Supporters will love it when it goes for them. Hate it when it's used against them. Fickle and hypocritical bunch.
sdb Posted 1 February 2020 Posted 1 February 2020 89 mins on the clock 3rd vs. 4th Last home game for 3 weeks Desperately pushing for a winner Entertaining and engrossing game Fourth official has flashed up 5 mins injury time!!!... ...let's leave now and avoid the traffic.

Poor form from us all game. Yes I do sing but surrounded by non singers doesn’t help atmosphere. Might be time for me to nip to Wilko and get a flask and tartan blanket.
LinekersLugs Posted 1 February 2020 Posted 1 February 2020 I was embarrassed today for first 30 mins , was the worst atmosphere since liverpool at home in Dec 2014 I have been to better funerals than the first half hour today

Silly ain't it, proper fans like you an I remain for those final minutes, watching two tired and defensive teams playing keep ball in the middle of the pitch for 5 minutes...then, to be stood on the stairs waiting to get out, then to be stuck in the queue getting out of freemans Common and then on Aylestone Road for about 3 days. They should be banned these early leavers.
