Sorry but come on - I hate the Jacks as much as the next City fan but their atmosphere v us was pretty electric and I'm not basing that on TV, I went. Probably not as good as the Palace atmosphere but there we go.

Re: 18th! What a joke.

Fri May 30, 2014 5:12 pm

I'd say we have a better than most atmosphere but the Palace fans have been good this year.

We were great in our first year and the first half of our second year. A few of the games this year were a bit flat especially the Euro games. Probably because the stadium was dry.

Yet to go to an away Prem game where the home fans have been better than what I'd expect in a home game. Fulham and Arsenal fans were dead and Villa fans have one chant that they pick up every now and then.

Re: 18th! What a joke.

Fri May 30, 2014 5:35 pm

What a load of old wank - just who makes this stuff up? In terms of fans, WBA away was the best atmosphere as they had all sides of the Hawthorns bouncing including their coffin-dodgers.

Re: 18th! What a joke.

Re: 18th! What a joke.

Fri May 30, 2014 7:06 pm

What do you expect with a divided fan base? The reds can't sing blue songs, the blues too scared to sing blue songs (unless in protest) for fear of upsetting the reds. Funnily enough the Cardiff City songs are mainly blue due to our history Therefore we have no songs to sing apart from protest songs. It all equates to a shite atmosphere until there is unity.

Re: 18th! What a joke.

Fri May 30, 2014 8:54 pm

Against Man City we was awesome but a lot of fans feel dead watching us play in red. But before that wasn't great either. The club bent over backwards to destroy the atmosphere we had at Ninian Park and they have succeeded.
Now saying that Evertons atmo was truly shocking and they were by far the worst. Norwich was bad and Fulham was awesome because of us.The best by far was WBA and even though I hate to say it Swanseas was very good but that was a derby match and they butt fooked us.

Re: 18th! What a joke.

Fri May 30, 2014 10:15 pm

That table is a pile of shite for starters Everton should be bottom was literally no noise at all from the home fans when we were there I'd put palace top.

Re: 18th! What a joke.

Sat May 31, 2014 12:51 pm

I'm no fan of goal music but I'll never forget the sight of thousands of Jacks bouncing up and down to our left after their third goal. Gut wrenching and awesome at the same time

Apart from overpriced tickets, the shit atmosphere at most grounds - particularly the 'big boys' - is what I'll want to forget. The Premier League is all about money and if it wasn't about the world-wide prestige they could keep it.

For a start, I didn't create the table. It was formulated by votes from fans. The header should tell you what I think of the table. The thread has has thousands of views and plenty of comments reflecting opinions of OUR fans as well as trolls, which isn't unusual for this forum.

Was the table of interest to CCFC fans? Yes.
Is it offensive? No.
Could it be a motivation for us to get off our backsides and actually support our team? Yes.
Did I "use my brain"? Yes.

Why are people on this forum so obsessed with Roathie? He comments on most threads and to be honest I enjoy some of the banter. It is good to be aware of opposing views.

Just to summarise the "ammunition" Roathie has been given: Forced badge change, forced strip colour change, Malaysia emblazoned all over the stadium, relegated in last place, Tan booing the players, sacking Malky, wasting millions on players who weren't up to it, etc.

Puts my post into some perspective don't you think??

I will continue to post anything of interest and don't need permission from anyone to do so, because it us a forum.

Re: 18th! What a joke.

Swansea official site is saying they will be re-branding to a blue strip for next season.

Apparently it is a lucky colour in that area and will bring in extra revenue to the club.

Anyone can vote on that site. we know what the jacks did to the turn us back to blue campaign in the echo :twisted: the original link http://www.the92.net/stats/premier-leag ... 05IiFVdWJ1

and the rules http://www.the92.net/rules-and-guidelines

as i said we know Swansea voted against us back to blue multiple of times

the92.net rules & guidelines
There are many varied rules to 'doing the 92' but these are the ones that we will be following:

All grounds ticked off must be a game of association football (including friendlies, reserves and woman's football) in which the game is over 90 minutes and begins with 11 vs 11 with tickets available for purchase (even if you didn't pay for them)
Ground tours DO NOT count
Only current grounds count i.e. the Emirates not Highbury
To complete the 92 you must have visited all grounds for the teams currently in the football league structure
You must make every effort to attend the whole game
If the pitch has been substantially moved then the ground has to be struck off your list
If you go to a ground to watch a none league game but the home side are subsequently promoted to the Football League then the visit does count towards your 92
We rely on honesty. If you haven't actually been to the ground or you haven't followed the rules above then you're only lying to yourself (well maybe to us a little bit too)
If you have been to a ground more than once then we leave it up to you, you can put your first, best, worse, most memorable or an average of all your visits!
ratings guidelines
Try to be as honest as possible. Don't big up your team too much or overly slate your rivals
If youkn n'tdo ow how to rate something (maybe you're not as big a fan of pies and pints as us) then leave it blank
Location – consider ease of access, surrounding area, friendliness of the locals and local amenities
Value for money – This includes cost of your ticket, food, drink, program and purchases from the club shop. Basically the cost of the day minus travel
Atmosphere – Although this is partially dependent on the game itself, you should base this on the volume and level of banter from the fans and include the acoustics of the stadium itself
Pint Rating – In the era of mass sponsorship your selection maybe somewhat limited. Consider the availability and price of lagers, ales and ciders
Pie Rating - The traditional football snack. We're looking for quality of the filling, sauce, and pastry
Programme – Consider cost as well as quality of content, layout and statistics
Your review – leave a clear review of the ground and share your experiences of the day, providing any valuable insights and advice for fellow 92ers. Keep it clean(ish). Obviously we won't tolerate any abuse including racism and homophobia
If you're doing the 92 then we would love to hear from you (and maybe see you at a game).

Thanks for this!

I did wonder if multiple votes could skew the table. It is also difficult to judge a ground based on 1 or 2 visits per season. When we played The Jacks, they were obviously up for it. Derby days are deceiving. Man U vs Man C would be bouncing and Liverpool vs Everton. The opposite can happen too. If there's nothing in the game or it's a home hammering, the crowd can be muted.

I think that overall, CCS deserves to be higher and Selhurst Park is worthy of the top spot from what I've heard on Twitter etc. When I've been there, they just don't shut up!!! Amazing support even when they are losing.
