Ultra Posted 20 January 2008 Posted 20 January 2008 In Daggers stylee I suggest that the FCC should give up. They clearly don't represent the true fans...
PAULCFC Posted 20 January 2008 Posted 20 January 2008 We have actually got a fairly decent song and it's called"When Your Smilling" We've had it for at least the last 15 years!
PAULCFC Posted 20 January 2008 Posted 20 January 2008 Bin that.......just realised i'm nearer 40 now........So more on 25 years that i know(When Your Smilling) Imean! (8(
Simi Posted 20 January 2008 Posted 20 January 2008 They did listen to the fans...and they said KEEP THE MUSIC!!!Just cos people on here may not want it,doesnt mean it speaks for the other 20,000+ does it. To be fair i was maybe one out of 2 who said they didnt want it,the rest were unanimous for it(out of perhaps 20 people) Please dont try and patronise me. I am NOT trying to patronise YOU. I respect you and Lisa amongst others, but I've been to these meetings in the past and know exactly the sort of people that are making the decsions for fans.

But they didn't listen to the fans before they introduced the music!
Zingari Posted 20 January 2008 Posted 20 January 2008 when city score , the last thing i'm concerned about is the fecking music they can play fecking boney fecking m for all i care
SantiagoFox Posted 21 January 2008 Posted 21 January 2008 The arguement for it is that where areas like L1 and some in the Kop may be able to 'celebrate' without the music,the other areas(ie Family + West Stand) are more inclined to clap and cheer with the addition of the music.I said it was abit Robotic and choreographed,but the majority said it was good to see the 'whole ground' join in the celebration........Sorry!!! On a side note,ive been trying to get healtier food introduced to the kiosks(im a Veg so dont really appreciate whats on offer!0 i know it wont happen as they are serving for the masses and have no inclination to change,even though society (of which football fans are included!)has moved away from pies and chips. I realise it ant gonna happen in my lifetime....just trying to emphasis some things you may feel passionate about,others couldnt give a fcyk.... Really!!?? These people can't clap and cheer without the addition of music ? No hope for their futures! Painting by numbers. Navigation by Sat Nav. Celebrating a goal by Music. Don't believe it! They are able!

davieG Posted 21 January 2008 Posted 21 January 2008 The bottom line is that the club's version of the Match Day experience is driving many fans away, I'm aware of many that no longer go and it is not solely down to the quality of the football because they've seen plenty of shit for years. Recently I've been in a situation where people have turned up for the prematch drinks but haven't bothered with going to the match. And there must be literally thousands that now choose to turn up at the last minute because the whole culture of attending has changed beyond recognition. I'm pretty sure that that their apparent goal of alienating groups of fans that are not a 'family' will eventually come to pass and statements like this "As part of the Club's on-going policy to attract a greater family audience to games at the Walkers Stadium" can be filed as job done But hey we can't please all of the fans, we'll do what WE think is best without consultation or consideration of fans that have followed LCFC through think and thin so if you don't like it piss off!
l444ry Posted 21 January 2008 Posted 21 January 2008 Perhaps we should all concede this argument to the automatons who want choreographed goal celebrations. But ... wait. Why stop there? Why not play Chopins Funeral March when City concede a goal.

I happily did a six-hour round trip to the Walkers for a few seasons on a semi-regular basis, but not any more. I've got a family now, so I'd rather spend the time with them, but the magic of attending home matches has gone for me. Away games are still fun when I go, but that's it for now. I've sampled a lot of different grounds over the past 2-3 years, including a lot of identikit new stadia, but Walkers ranks as one of the worst for me. davieG is correct - its not the quality of the football, or even the price of the ticket that's the turn off. I've got no real interest in watching good football - I just like the sense of belonging when I'm at a home game, but I just feel a bit of a stranger these days. Maybe that's just peculiar to me, as I guess my priorities have changed? But I can never decide where to sit when I go back home, and I definitely wouldn't ever want to be in the ground early to sample the pre-match atmosphere. It's definitely a long-distance relationship that's on the rocks at the moment. As for the question of music after goals are scored, I can only say that if your teenage years are behind you, and you voted "Yes", then I can assure you that, should we ever meet, we'd probably agree on very little when the conversation turned to football. Oh yes- while I'm here..... John Barber is ****ing **** of Olympian proportions, and an utter disgrace to his profession and the BBC. I gave up on that dismal turd of a human being and his inane prattle a season or so ago. I urge everyone to do the same, and to write to the BBC to tell them how bad he is. Edit: and since when has **** been a banned word? Beard of Zeus!

What happens on the pitch is paramount to what happens in the stands but previously I was more willing to travel hundreds of miles and spend a chunk of my shallow pockets because I knew win, lose or draw it'd be a good day out as I'd enjoy the buzz, the banter and the sense of belonging. Nowadays if the performance on the pitch is shit it's a painful experience because generally all you get on the terraces is tuts, complaints and dodgy looks.

Nowadays if the performance on the pitch is shit it's a painful experience because generally all you get on the terraces is tuts, complaints and dodgy looks. attacking football = risk = chance to conceed goals = could lose = relegation = lose money money, money, money, you ever watch MOTD, 4-5 decent teams and 15 who go away from home, defend for 90 mins and try to nick a goal at a set piece. And that has leaked down into the Championship. A bit simplistic I know. fcuk it though, I'll still go just in case we get another Watford game. Up the Fosse. (I am planning on having kids next year though so it may all change)
