Kanji Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 The display meant a lot to me and I loved it. It sent chills down my spine and to be part of tonight in person, after 27 years of supporting this club was a truly special moment. I didn’t think anything was lost but I know I’m speaking from a far different mindset based on my circumstances for tonight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The deafening champions league adverts and god awful pre match music killed the ability to get the songs going prior to the display. And then when the display came, as beautiful as it was (and honestly I appreciate you guys and your efforts massively), I do feel like it may have had a weird effect on the lack of ability to really make a cauldron of noise when they came out. After that though, it was entirely on the fans. There were some good moments, but for far too many long periods it was near silent. Not questioning that mate and you're entitled to your opinion, but I personally feel that the crowd had an expectancy to win tonight, an arrogance, the same arrogance which meant we spanked PSG. The display should fire folk up. I don't understand why it wouldn't in all honesty? Their hands might be full but their mouths aren't?

jack j Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 The cunt with the microphone telling people when to hold the paper up and then giving a countdown was cringeworthy as fuck and orchestrated bullshit mind. I wouldn't bother with a display for Milan and just see how the atmosphere plays out. Said it before but too many people think waving a flag equates to us having a good atmosphere Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree on the rest and after the ground created no atmosphere following what was (for me) one of our best displays to date I don't really feel like putting that level of effort in for the atmosphere to go off a cliff edge again. I don't understand how a display like that doesn't get you pumped tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

See what you're saying but the best noise comes from the roar, not clapping imo, and the display should do nothing to stop that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSG there was loads of lads standing back of leazes clearly members but stood and sang hearts out. Same seats last night, sat flat as fart and me and 3 others singing on own. We need to do seat moves simple as that. Get the proper lads together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fezzle Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 On the subject of the pre match atmosphere, what the hell was that solid 10 mins or so of shit dance music about?

bowlingcrofty Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Does anyone from WorFlags have any knowledge of whether £17k for the Mackem display yesterday is in line with expectations from a cost perspective? Rivalries aside, because the lads doing it have been getting some serious abuse and I’m genuinely intrigued. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
