He's been doing things to for the elderly for years.

It’s like they have no idea he still went on to concede 5 times!

Well obviously his big moan didn't work..... as they conceded two more goals after that 😂😂

Did Tyler Blackett ever recover from that game? Can't remember seeing him play since. Vardy absolutely terrorised them that day!

I find a lot of the last few pages a bit baffling really.

Personally, I'm not a massive fan of goal music and I'm less of a fan of the clappers. I think they're horrifically wasteful (no matter what they're made of) and although they were once a real benefit, I think at this point any benefit to the atmosphere is minimal and I'm sure at times they may well curtail chants.

 

With that said, I'm so bored of reading posts with a holier than though attitude to fandom that often seem as bothered about the outward appearance of the club as it does about what the club is, and what it means to us. I appreciate that a lot of people put a lot of effort into trying to improve the atmosphere and I have no idea about how bad it supposedly is trying to deal with the club on fan engagement, but I can empathise with how it feels to put so much of yourself into something, only for people who don't appreciate your strength of feeling or your personal investment in it to poo poo it and ignore it.

 

I think it was @Line-X's suggestion that clappers could be handed out on the gates, and people could take them if they choose to. I can completely get behind that. What I think is important though really is simply acknowledging and accepting that not everyone has the same idea of what it means to be a fan. Far too often I feel like that is ignored in the dialogue. I think those arguing for a particular type of fandom do appreciate that, but it often doesn't come across that way.

 

Some people will probably always want clappers. They might not sing. That's their prerogative. This club belongs to all of us and we're all entitled to support it how we want to. And also, since when should any of us give a flying fvck about what other fanbases think? Seriously?

You are far Too clever & wise, to Waste your Time on this topic....

 

Never understand Why we didnt just carry on with rattlers....

He ended up in the Championship with Reading (is he still there I’m not sure 😆) not the first time we’ve done this to people in the game - Tim Sherwood when he was Villa manager and 0-2 up in the title winning season...only for us to win 3-2 and he looked utterly shellshocked after the game, he couldn’t work it out, pretty sure he hasn’t managed since which is quite an impact 🦊

Pretty sure everyone involved should be on the Queen's honours list for services to football because of this

Just been doing a bit of sleuthing on this and he left Reading last season for none other than the mighty Notts Forest.  Doesn't appear to have pulled up any trees there though and has since moved to FC Cincinnati where he's appeared in their last 9 matches, all defeats. 

[FoxyLeon]

I'm not a fan of the clappers.....

But if those moaning about them contributed to the atmosphere, they probably wouldn't have been brought in to replace the silence that was present at most games before them.

 

This isn't a 'Chicken or Egg scenario', the atmosphere was crap before they were introduced.

Theres no need for people to slate him. The chaps a local lad, doing a dream job supporting our club.

Really shite that he gets a lot of stick online. 

 

At a push I'd suggest with having such a polarising figure in Stringer leading the usual line up, which Owynn has modelled his style on, there will always be people who will go at them. Along with how crap social media is in general

Yet another instance of people using their online presence to hurl abuse at a stranger, only realising the serious effect it has on them when the person reaches a breaking point. Reason 1,000 I quit the likes of Twitter and Facebook.

 

even worse because the guy he’s standing in for is away because of his own mental health, it’s almost parody.

People who do this are either weird or angry in their own life. I don’t understand it. This is a young guy trying to build a career. Because he’s started so young he’ll probably rise very high in the profession. Good luck to him.

[coolhandfox]

It is easy to criticise someone for doing something without knowing how hard it is to do.

 

Wonder what they would think of their performance if they recorded themselves doing commentary on a game.

Some of our fans are utter fvck wits.

[filbertway]

I'm shocked that people with access to social media still listen to the radio, I can't believe the overlap is that big?!

What a complete load of shit... 

 

 

... We don't miss Ian at all. 

[RonnieTodger]

Think he's done well, especially for his age. 

 

 I do miss John Sinclair though. His voice along with Bleddyn Jones reminds me of wintery Saturday afternoons as a kid.

[Sharpe's Fox]

If i were commentating most of it would be me saying how shit I think our players are and calling them names. Personally I think it would make for great radio though not family friendly.
