foz.foz Posted 7 January 2013 Share Posted 7 January 2013 is this type of astmosphere ever going to come to the King Power Stadium??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treacle Fox Posted 7 January 2013 Share Posted 7 January 2013 Not until standing is brought back will we ever reach the heights of those atmospheres again. I remember coming out of the Spion Kop with my ears ringing after a home game against Grimsby. You'd struggle to get a similar atmosphere at the King Power as it is in a local derby or in the Prem.

cc_star Posted 7 January 2013 Share Posted 7 January 2013 Sporting Blue The Sporting Green was a Tigers bit at the back. Yep, I was there. You need standing, you need a tier above you to prevent the noise drifting away and you need a different attitude from stewards/police & especially fans.

ReyAzarola Posted 8 January 2013 Share Posted 8 January 2013 Ah nostalgia! Whitlow, Mills, Thompson, ooo Tommy Wright, Kev the Rooster Russell (was he on loan)? Claridge playing for Cambridge, he doesn't look any different! and the Sporting Green, not blue. Second season and first full season supporting City. Thanks for that.

Wasn't it originally the Sporting Green before a change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike the Metal Ed Posted 8 January 2013 Share Posted 8 January 2013 Whoopee, another thread regarding atmosphere! Beats "Nige out." "Nige in." "POLL: Should Pearson stay or go?". I think it's about time a lot more of our fans started questioning why our ground is a morgue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But every other thread seems to be about atmosphere, it's becoming more like 'foxesbore' than foxestalk on here lately! Edit, after checking at time of posting this, apart from the 'pinned' topics, four of the next five are about atmosphere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoneDog Posted 8 January 2013 Share Posted 8 January 2013 Pen 2 and Pen 3 Cambridge United were a dangerous team back then. Loved Grayson's burst into the box for the second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack Posted 8 January 2013 Share Posted 8 January 2013 Different era. And it's not just us it's everyone. If you want to point the finger then have a good long look at Sky TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack Posted 8 January 2013 Share Posted 8 January 2013 p.s. There are some priceless moments in this video. Greavesy taking the piss out of Dublin's stupid hair, then if you skip it to 7:30 I think you will find the Birch in a dodgy suit chasing off some herbert who has come onto the pitch to celebrate with the players.

Raj Posted 8 January 2013 Share Posted 8 January 2013 That was my first ever game! ST holder ever since(This however will probably be my last year as one). Like Mack says atmosphere will NEVER EVER be like them days. you can have all the thredas you want about how to recreate it and do confetti throwing but it'll never be as it was. Not just at City but at most clubs. Different customer base to them days.....Blame you fcukers who pay to watch football on Sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit, after checking at time of posting this, apart from the 'pinned' topics, four of the next five are about atmosphere! It's because there is nothing else to moan about, we have had area good results lately, things going well on and off the pitch no real transfer activity so lets create another issue to moan about. For my penny's worth the atmosphere will never change on an Internet forum everyone simply has to sing if they want too wherever they are or move to an area where fans already sing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leicesterseddon Posted 8 January 2013 Share Posted 8 January 2013 Different era. And it's not just us it's everyone. If you want to point the finger then have a good long look at Sky TV. Why? They are just a private company that do what all companies do: make as much money as possible by providing a service. Sky have vastly improved the quality of football coverage on the TV and lots of people now seem prepared to pay for it. They aren't beholden to care about the atmosphere in the grounds; nor do they have a 'duty of care' over the game. Their duty is to their shareholders. Nothing wrong with that per se but surely it is a little naive to expect a private multinational media company to fulfill some kind of social role in the game. Sky can't buy the rights to broadcast games unless someone sells them to them. Some clubs decided in the early 1990s that they wanted to sell the rights to as many games as possible to the company, and the FA and Football League didn't set a sensible limit.

Poakey Posted 8 January 2013 Share Posted 8 January 2013 What a night, i remember a few like that in P2/P3, also remeber a few bad ones though mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I blame Wellens Posted 8 January 2013 Share Posted 8 January 2013 Does anyone remember after the first wembley visits people bringing their big fags in to the kop. You used to get some nutters jumping on top and the people under throwing them as high as they could in to the air. Those were the days before Heath and safety now you are not allowed big flags because they are seen as fire risks or cover advertising. Those days will never come back but it's nice for old gits like me to reminisce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purpleronnie Posted 8 January 2013 Share Posted 8 January 2013 Still my favourite ever game of all time, place was absolutely rocking that night. Mine too, I remember within 2 years losing interest and more and more terraces being knocked down, I pretty much stopped going by 1994, funny thing is I would be very happy to have those times back now...I had no idea how bad things would get.
