Half time at Stadium MK today | Best away fans?

[WhiteHawk]

We were sat in the block where this was going off (lower tier), it sounded fantastic.

 

[GRUMPY BLADE]

Fucking nailed on with that comment mate.......I was taking to a reyt nice 79 year old guy behind me and he was loving the whole day, pyros and all, and tbh I respect his opinion on the day then some bell who needs to chill the fuck out, what the fuck is wrong with folk, some of these moaning fuckers could do with spending a couple of quid on a blowjob at a sauna.......enjoy the moment ffs

£2?

Where?

 

[I should coco]

Having posted on the long pyro thread about the stupidity of chucking one at Vale, this is how it should be.

We were on the upper tier and AFAIUI, the flare was let off for atmosphere and not chucked around. The half time atmosphere was brilliant and even the choice of song sums up the season;

"We don't give a fuck, 'cos the Blades are going up......"

Absolute top day out. My only problem was a prior engagement at the City Hall and Mrs ISC made it clear I had to be back by 7.30. We legged it on the final whistle and were back in S10 by 7.05.

An absolutely fantastic day to remember.
Fancy dress/ weather/ big Blade following/ singing/ the goals/ players.....just everything,

A truly wonderful time to be a Blade.

 

[FTPE]

Disgraceful behaviour. Not what i want to experience at a football match.
Fucking moronic.

 

[Blade56]

This is how a well behaved crowd celebrate

 

[AWetFlannel]

Are you taking the piss?

No, which bit was inaccurate?

Don't go then if you don't like it. Obvious plenty of people either don't mind the pyro or tolerate it.

If you're really that bothered then don't attend.

Couple of quid, where's this sauna you talk of?

 

[west_yorks_blade]

Silent in the stands, then go in to the concourse 5mins before HT causing congestion for people needing a piss or buying.
Repeat the same chant for all HT and for 15mins into the second half, missing the game and killing the atmosphere in the stadium.
Didn't even hear the GCB song for the start of the second half.

It struck me as odd that the youths would want to bounce around in a dark concourse well into the second half rather than watch the football.
But apart from the usual flare shenanigans, the congestion and the risk of breaking their own necks - each to their own I guess.

 

[hoylandblade]

It would have been a better picture if had fell off!!!!

 

[cahill]

Can't wait for the Chesterfield match, nothing like a football crowd for joyeus ( spelling) atmosphere. My granddaughter is coming with me really looking forward to it. Let's be loud and proud Blades

That's the big thing for me, if that twat fell off that beam, it's not just himself who he could hurt but those below. Part of being young and stupid I guess!

Yeah I don't mind flares and of course it is each to their own.
Just prefer people to keep the atmosphere in the stands.

To sum up my view...

Pyrotechnics definitely add something, I'd like them to be legal (it would be safer), and that photo is indeed fantastic.

I'm pissed off they can't put half as much effort into supporting the team. Making a racket at half time does not make you good supporters.

In reality this will probably have implications for us as supporters because we've had more than one warning about it. I can see the 'fuck it, enjoy the moment' view but if we're staring at thousands of empty seats in the away end next season after selling all our tickets then a lot of views will change.

We definitely have a large percentage of boring bastards who oppose anything different (and don't sing), which is disappointing.

If the 'pyro boys' just redirected their efforts a little bit they could indeed improve our support massively. But unfortunately, it's not about support for them, it's more about looking good on Facebook and Twitter.
It feels like those who are in it for the football above all else and put a lot of effort into supporting the team vocally are in a very small minority.

And while I'm at it, banging out the same song non stop when it isn't catching on doesn't make you a super Blade, it makes you fucking stupid. Because it goes a long way towards preventing other songs from starting.

This picture should be a watermark etched into season tickets, match day tickets and all SUFC literature and should be the picture cover of all official programmes

It's sums up the Blades supporter and what it's like to be a Blade perfectly

 

[Skabone]

Did anyone else see Matt Done's reaction when he saw it from pitch at half time warm up ?
He looked up and just mouthed " OH WOW"

I think people are a bit wary of behaving like this whilst in the seating area because of the miserable twats that have latched onto us over the last few years

In the concourse anybody not wanting to be involved can get away from it

In the seats there's always people who will moan and complain and report incidents to the police and stewards

 

[ShorehamRevolution]

The way I see it all at half time is those that wanted to be involved were there singing loud and proud, a little further down the concourse it was quieter where you could get to the toilet and food queue easier. If I was with a child I'd simply make my way to somewhere a little less crammed. It's a bit like going into a packed pub and having to squeeze your way to the back to find some space. The people that were making the noise just have to be a little more aware of old ones,women,children coming past. I can see both sides of the argument but I'll always lean towards the singers because without them I might aswel start mowing the lawn on a Saturday.

Wish I'd seen that !

I'd always back the singers, but these people don't sing in the stand.

That's probably a factor, but they couldn't stop them making noise.

It's easier to congregate in one place at half time, so it's obvious why it happens. Just a shame it's where they focus their efforts.

I can't really argue against that, singing in the stand is pretty sporadic because little pockets of singers are all over the place.

Agreed , although I'm a little long in the tooth myself , yes flares can be dangerous , but as long as the intention is not to harm anyone,
Let them have fun and I love the video get a life and join in. UTB , FTP

 

[mattbianco1]

Here's the extended version (including crowdsurfing). Not sure what happened to the video quality at the start

I thought that must be swillsboro but there are too many of em.

Yeah I think you're right. It's about like minded young lads congregating.
When they get tickets they are inevitably diluted and separated by boring middle aged twats like me who are more interested in watching the football when the match is on, and fighting past the smokers for a slash at half time.

 

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

some of these moaning fuckers could do with spending a couple of quid on a blowjob at a sauna

Free at El Dempso's when booked in advance....

Lucrative!

 

[mattbianco1]

He jumped off. Along with a few others

 

[Bladesway]

As Tyler Durden has previously alluded to, it's getting a bit tiresome now. We all know everyone's thoughts on it so another deliberately incendiary post on Pyro is just a tool to start an argument.

You will see those calling other Blades scum for potentially "grassing" and others giving a counter view. We all know and it's been done to death. Why do this at the happiest point in our recent history?

 

[ShockingBadBuy]

Open net for someone, surely ?

Alternatively, as Sean Thornton has noted, please be careful because, according to the old folktale, if you mention him more than once in the same post he might reappear !
