Dortmund

British football is slowly but surely being turned into a spectator sport, like tennis. Can't even fart at a football match these days without the threat of court aperrences and banning orders. Health and safety gone mad over here. I'd say the british football fan got it hard and German football fans are the ones that are spoilt. Sure I read somewhere that a season ticket over there is something like 100euros for clubs like Bayern. Football over here is out pricing the working class fan. Its losing its identity

Fukin spot on mate

It won't happen, different culture in British football. Especially our spoilt fans, if they can't be assed to stay 90 mins, how can they be assed to stay with flags, posters, scarves and choreographed displays

Sadly, you're spot on.

It's the British fans fault but also the people who govern the game etc. Our stadium isn't built for displays, it's just a row of seats, no where to hang flags or that unless it's at the back and then they're barely seen and you've gotta ask if it's okay cos it might cover advertising. If we get relegated but want to create an atmosphere, we need to have a fan group make these kind of displays, not an anti re-brand display but just a display/group for atmosphere

A display/group for atmosphere would be a great idea. I believe Celtic have the "green corner" where they're all dressed in green generating an atmosphere. I think Man Utd have a section of Old Trafford now where fans wanting to generate an atmosphere can all congregate together. Perhaps something similar can be introduced at our stadium. I know to an extent, we have the 3 standing aisles within the Canton. But the atmosphere could still be much better. At the end of the day, I think you're spot on with our fans at the moment. I don't think the majority of us can be bothered and the fans who can are being priced out of games.

Celtic have the green brigade some pretty impressive stuff especially when rangers went bust and they had the four horsemen of the apocalypse on the go. Unfortunately they also make banners for political means as well. I believe they are currently being done for a Bobby Sands banner.

Blue wall anyone? Schalke fans show how it's done. Obviously, we won't be able to get flags into most grounds, but this picture shows how good holding blue scarves up looks.

Love that, think there's a Shalke fan on here as well

Think you are refering to Hoff?

FairPlay, even if you just have 2-3 big flags and everyone raise their scarves it would look brilliant.. just madness how many ideas we put on here, it would be good if Ali said it on the mic to put their scarves in the air that way supporters would actually do it.

Agreed, Ali used to ask each section of the stadium to do the ayatollah before kick off. But I'm not sure Tan will allow Ali to ask fans to hold their blue scarves in the air sadly. I think it would be good if we arranged for everyone to lift their blue scarves in the air at a specific time of the game?

To be fair I don't think I have ever seen it done during the game itself but Ali doesn't have to aim it at Blue scarves, he could just say scarves but then again he has been restricted to a few things leading up to kick off.
