Robbored Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 What a bunch of fickle partimers City have that call themselves "supporters". Only 6 and a half thousand and todays game.What a disgrace. No doubt they'll come out with the usual bleats about being skint or "its christmas" but if City get past B'lsey and draw a big club in the next round they'll all be flooding back. At least I was there showing my loyalty to the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BCFC Matt Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 I was there today. Clist was particuarly impressive with brian in the middle of the park. Too be honest i had to make sure it was simon clist out there - it was a nice surprise! It was a good performance by city but very frustrating that the damn ball wouldnt go in! Agree prices could be a possible factor for todays attendance. (????) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Finesse Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 I am a regular ST holder and i attended today but, tend to leave out most cup games, £14 to get in? disgracefull. But who died and left you to be judge robbored? Just because i don't particularly like cup games and pick and choose. Doesn't make me any less of a fan than you. Not only that i actually lose over £100 in earnings every time i watch city on a saturday. I expect you don't. How many times have you posted this subject now? If you and others keep on showing complete contempt for other "floating fans" then there's no way they are going to come back to a league game or maybe another cup tie. Thus less money for city who have taken ridiculous amounts from me and my family already. I do respect fellow loyal fans (you included robbered) but can't stand it when people like me get bashed for not attending the smaller cup ties when its such a time and financial commitment that i and others have to make.

Guest Neo Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 I got to be honest, I tend to skip posts like this. I haven't missed a home game in any competition for over a year, however, I consider myself no more a fan than somebody who manages 1 game a season. Love of a club is in the heart and should not be based by what you spend in a season. I know that without fans that go regularly the club will be up chit street, however, nobody has the right to challenge anybody how they choose to spend their money and live their life. Why not just accept the fact that some fans like to go as often as possible, some are more choosey, however, we all have a common interest and our all equally fans.

Guest Spike Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 It's christmas and I really do have not a penny to my name and I live 67 miles away from ashton gate and have no car I think thats enough of a reason for me not to be there. Still I don't think you need to shell out £10-£18 and watch your team play poorly to be a "loyal supporter"... I mean people have lives other than football and even when we were top of the league and rivaling Watford a few seasons back and I had my season ticket I didnt turn up to quite a few matches because I was otherwise engaged. Still if City play poorly as often as they are this season then people are going to stop attending... it's the same with any club. Some people feel that being there every game makes you a loyal supporter whereas some others see not turning up when the club is underperforming as a way of showing the club they are unhappy with how things are and how they want to see the club they love play better and go somewhere.

Guest profplum86 Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 ok so robbored has one person who agree's fRed why is it you think that people who can't afford to go to EVERY city match should be classed as a part timer ? I AM A STUDENT - therefore only have a part time job that pays somethign like £375 p/h at sainsbury's i do my best to get to the city matches i can, but the other thing that stops me going is the fact that everyimte i stand up to cheerthe team on i get a ban does that mean that you are a better supporter than me or anyone else?

City Exile Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Did not get back to the game, but have to say was genuinely surprised by the low crowd. However, in the cup I hate repeats of league games, especially when its been on recently. The chance to watch somebody different is a lot of what it is about. Have noticed games this time of season have low crowds, and then big ones over the holiday, when people just want to get out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I think that yes, £14 is expensive for a round 2 tie against a team we only played 2 weeks before. No I didn't go to the match either, but I'm a season ticket holder, have supported City since I can remember (my dads fault!), and have been to grounds all around the country to watch them over the years. I've been there for the highs of promotion and the lows of relegation and stuck by them all the time. Just because I choose not to watch the FA cup doesn't make me a part time fan.

Port Said Red Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Sorry to resurrect this post but I had a thought. Someone mentioned Yeovil being at home as well and I know we get a few that make their way up from deepest zummerset, so I think that may have had an effect. Nobody has mentioned WSM though and we DEFINITELY get some from there each week. The post about the trouble with Northamptons stewards made me wonder if any of the usual City fans from the "Super Mud" went on a glory hunting trip. A combination of the two could have taken over a 1000 fans from us, especially as the fixture was so unattractive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
