I responded initially to two of your posts because they had something of interest worth commenting on (not necessarily because I disagreed with you).How many posts can you point me too where people say they are “happy” with how things are. That’s a nonsense claim, just filler. CBA? Obviously some truth in that but how do you reconcile that with those who were constantly hooting up about it when Ricky made his attempt who never really tried to back it? It wasn’t the naysayers who ended that, it was those who”proper fans” who didn’t bother.
The Ultra concept abroad is a bit more than what happens at Palace on match days. I have no problem whatsoever with standing/singing sections whatsoever, or people who want them. I just find the idea that someone is a better blade because they sing a ridiculous notion that takes nothing else, age etc, into consideration. I was at most away games up until a couple of years ago - always standing - until mobility issues made it very difficult to stand for the full game. So, rather than decide it was all about me and just moan “siddarn” at people , l stopped nearly all away games. Maybe l should be like you and want everyone to toe my line?
I suggested three variants of 'happy with status quo/CBA/ the other one' (can't be arsed to actually check what it was). If there are no posts saying people are happy with the status quo (and I assume you are right that there aren't any), we move on to the others.
I make no arguments about being a bigger Blade. I've probably been to 25 games in the past 30 years as I live abroad. I contrast what I see week in, week out at the team I support here, where there are organised ultras and I think it's a shame that teams in the UK are incapable of such cooperation.
Your insinuation that I expect everyone to 'toe my line' is incorrect. No idea where you got that from.
