Danny the Fox 95 Posted 6 April 2012 Posted 6 April 2012 I wish people would stand up at the KP as well, and not just L1
SemperEadem Posted 6 April 2012 Posted 6 April 2012 why cant we do when your smiling like this ? Yeah I will agree this is decent, but this is also very rare down at st Andrews. Support like us is decent some of the time at home games and their attendances should be alot higher for a second city club.This comes from someone for whom Birmingham city are their second team.

anglodan Posted 6 April 2012 Posted 6 April 2012 not poor but not good enough was better in days gone by when i was a lad my dad took me to all the away games and i gotta say it just aint the same anymore. we got outsung at cov first game of the season how bad is that . I was there and tweeted the same thing. Got slaughtered for it but that didn't change my opinion. Their little rabble in the corner were far more consistent than our lot. Yes we had the odd loud spurt but it was very sporadic. We can be awesome away from home & we can be pretty weak. I do agree that over the years our away volume has diminished somewhat. I'm 33 so not that old but remember amazing away trips when I was younger. Maybe this was because the expectations were lower so we just had fun. The pressure is not the same as today. 5000 fans away in an open air standing enclosure in the pissing rain for a Zenith data systems cup match against Notts County stands out. A nothing game that we made into one of my favourite away days ever. When your smiling is supposed to be our song, but to be honest is it anymore? I mean when has it been barked out with any passion in the last how many years? We don't have any chant to call our own. Having said that, I've still had some cracking aways days in recent times. Norwich obviously stands out, but the fans had something to prove that day. We do have a distinct lack of variety though. But in summary I agree with the OP. Its decent, but nowhere near as good as Strings & the Youngster make out on air.

Leicester_Loyal Posted 6 April 2012 Posted 6 April 2012 We have great away support, definitely one of the best in the league. Leeds are the best though.

Support like us is decent some of the time at home games and their attendances should be alot higher for a second city club.This comes from someone for whom Birmingham city are their second team. I went for their cup tie against Villa last year and the atmosphere was incredible, absolutely spine tingling. But against their bitter rivals you would expect that. However it was far FAR better than our best atmospheres against our rivals. Maybe that is simply because the Villa Blues rivalry is immense, much stronger than our links to our rivals for obvious reasons. But I agree, for a 2nd city team the attendance's are low. This could be something to do with the fact that Birmingham also houses Aston Villa and WBA is actually in Brum (just of Soho road) & not West Brom. Walsall nick a few thousand and Wolves is only 10 minutes away. On the flip side though, there has been some terrible atmospheres at St Andrews this season in the 5 visits i've made. (I live in Bham so get to the odd game)

Guest Posted 6 April 2012 Posted 6 April 2012 So if we were to sum this thread up does, 'ee bah gum things were better when I were a lad I tells thee!' Cut it?
carlhltid Posted 6 April 2012 Author Posted 6 April 2012 So if we were to sum this thread up does, 'ee bah gum things were better when I were a lad I tells thee!' Cut it? no mate not enough fans sing for leicester so the atmosphere suffers
anglodan Posted 6 April 2012 Posted 6 April 2012 So if we were to sum this thread up does, 'ee bah gum things were better when I were a lad I tells thee!' Cut it? haha possibly. But then again, I first started going when Pleat was manager, And a lot of the youngsters on here have NO IDEA HOW BAD THOSE DAYS WERE!!!
HEGGSY Posted 6 April 2012 Posted 6 April 2012 So if we were to sum this thread up does, 'ee bah gum things were better when I were a lad I tells thee!' Cut it? I think so. Either that or "Back in my day....."
carlhltid Posted 6 April 2012 Author Posted 6 April 2012 I think so. Either that or "Back in my day....." we all got behind our team then not enough do now
ThurnbyLodgeFox Posted 7 April 2012 Posted 7 April 2012 every game away we've been amazing, best fans in the league 3000+ every away games says different
carlhltid Posted 7 April 2012 Author Posted 7 April 2012 every game away we've been amazing, best fans in the league 3000+ every away games says different 3000 plus dont think so anyway ime not on about numbers i was on about the atmosphere
ThurnbyLodgeFox Posted 7 April 2012 Posted 7 April 2012 3000 plus dont think so anyway ime not on about numbers i was on about the atmosphere still a pointless thread cause the atmosphere is top drawer
