Ouch, that was below the belt . Wait to you get to our age laddie, or lassie, unless you’re already there, then you won’t be so clever dick! 

If it's any consolation I'm in my 20s and I get up to piss about 4 times every night

But on the flip side they already have a 3000 strong standing section with queues round the block to get in it.

If we lose, it doesn’t get toxic and if we win it’s just a placid round of applause. 
 

We’re just an East Midlands Reading. 

Harsh on Reading tbh, they swapped their ground round to get 2000/3000 young lads behind the goal and it's worked a treat for them.

Agree with the concourse banterlads who belt up the moment a ball's kicked being a huge part of the problem.

 

That said, I can't get my head around the excuses being rolled out for people who've followed us for years and allegedly used to sing at games, but now feel they don't need to. Like, you still support the same club you did then? In other teams' ends you see young and old alike singing.

 

If you feel the younger generation ain't stepping up then set the example!

For anyone under 30 atmosphere is throwing ale about in the concourse, videoing themselves at the game, and 'limbs'.

 

For anyone over 30 atmosphere is pissing themselves, Bovril, and silence. I think I've got that correct.

[CyprusFox]

Want to hear a real home and away end, watch Cardiff v Leeds. Puts us to shame wherever we play.

This is the direction football is headed.

 

75 quid one off events like concerts rather than hardcore supporters.

 

It'll take a few years but it'll get there I assure you.

And yet people on here think we can drum up the vitriol to upset the chairman.

Not very often I’d say this, but that kid deserves a battering 😂

Isn't our expansion going to lead to things like this? The stuff on here about making it very corporate and aimed at upper classes etc.

God knows the future of the club.

 

The last couple of years have revealed how little I know about both the running of the club and the attitudes of the supportership.

I’ve followed us for years and used to sing, reason I don’t bother anymore, shit songs and a drum ffs. You put the choirmasters in charge and nobody wants to join n, you end up with what we’ve got.

Aw diddums. Well, if previous generations hadn't muted up in the first place then there's be no need for a drum or "choirmasters" in the first place would there?

 

Which songs that you actually like do you think should be sung?

[adam]

Never ever should a drum be used at a football ground.

Your original point about the game being even more sanitised in future is correct, though. The Super League creators disparaging remarks about legacy fans was telling. It'll become more of a show, the football more incidental, older fans attempted to be moved on and a social media friendly audience in their place.

Did you say this 16 years ago when it first went in L1 btw?

Though I don't like to look it directly in the eye I see it happening down the city.

The team are evidently in a slump, and need us to try and lift them more than ever. Instead, when we went 1 up yesterday, there’s a rendition of ‘how shit must you be, we’re winning away’.

 

Team must love hearing that. Those in the vicinity of me yesterday seemed utterly miserable and almost wanting us to fail.

My immediate thought was that haven’t we won more games away from home this season?

I posted elsewhere on another thread the exact thing you state.

 

I really try hard now to avoid being surrounded by the miserable ****ers (and it's very hard to) who just want to moan at, and slate literally every player, every decision, pass, play and tactic. It's like they are just itching for the next little thing to go wrong just so they can berate, slag off and criticise everything LCFC to both themselves and everyone around them within earshot.

 

I swear to God they really do hate it when we score as it just shames them, although not into silence, they are soon back up to wanting us to fail, probably just to make them right and justified.

Our support is full of weirdos though, surely we can admit that. 

[Lcfc098]

Look at that Leeds end when they scored a last minute equaliser. We’d be lucky to get that for a winner in a champions league final

Had the strange experience at Hull a few years ago of two blokes next to me, who'd moaned all game, walking out when Mahrez scored the winner. Wish fvcking morons like that would just keep their misery to themselves in their own homes.
