You turn up, make some noise, back the players and see what happens. Its a chance for some of our younger supporters to experience a packed Hillsborough and the fans making some noise against one of the Premier League big boys. Ive seen us getting beaten before and the fans still signing. I remember the Pompey fans getting beaten against Arsenal on TV and their fans making a right racket. Why not remind the new breed of City fans just the kind of support that their team used to make not so long again If we can enjoy it just like away at Chelsea then it's all good. We scored and you couldn't even hear the home support cheering as we were singing that much - we knew it was going to be difficult after they scored but it was still a great night.

Geedee Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 I dont go many games any more but I try to go to big or unusual games. This falls into this category , I will be there in the sacred north stand. I am amazed those who go regularly to run of the mill games would consider missing it.

Last night saw us play some decent football all night, ok we were only playing Charlton, but every player gave it a go and on another night and with a bit more confidence we might have scored a hatful. Another decent performance on Sat'day and do you know what we might even give City a game.....why would you not want to be there for that?? Big nights at Hillsborough are few and far between these days, but when they happen they tend to stay long in the memory; Liverpool in the cup back in the 80's, Blades in the Simod Cup, Kaiserslautern, Arsenal, Brighton, ...yeah ok despite staying long in the memory, i can't think of any more (and that's sort of my point) I couldn't think of anything more frustrating than Wednesday turning in a performance next week and not being there to see it, infact i did miss the aforementioned Brighton game due to work commitments and still feel pi**ed off about it even now - Just hate to think that any of you will feel the same after next week IF we can get Hillsborough rocking again next week, i have a sneeking feeling we can turn them over and then who next, Liverpool, United? Will we still have "stay away protesters" then? C'mon!!!! Turn them over........ Hhhmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beany71 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 If people don't want to go that's their choice and I don't have a problem with that. The only thing that makes me laugh is we say our scruffy neighbours are only selling out because they are doing well in the Premier League, then in the next breath I'm not going because.. Lets be honest, that's football. You have supporters that will go however bad and whatever division and you have supporters that drift in and out depending on success. Every club is the same.

Tyto Alba Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Looks like a great FA cup tie to me. I can't stand Chansiri personally but it should be a good night for the supporters protesting about him is pointless really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we were talking about financial investment in stocks and shares then I might boycott further investment but we are talking about emotional investment in the club that we love and for me that is ( almost) unconditional. So, I reiterate, anyone who thinks that they can persuade me not to attend Wednesday fixtures because we are not in the top six can pizz off.

asteener1867 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 All this will show is an embarrassing turn out for us City will sell out and let's face it It's hardly any attraction for them with the other stuff they have going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way is S6 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 In the good old days, part timers used to turn out for matches like this. Nowadays they want to boycott them. Funny old game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
