Anti English chanting mentioned on Call Rob

Re: Anti English chanting mentioned on Call Rob

Chants about England being shit and sheepshaggers, it's really not offensive but just boring, heard at 44 league matches and the odd cup game if we are lucky.

Add in 46 matches of the hymns and arias twist and the ever cringey Swansea slums and by about mid August I think I'd rather some NFL type chants and cheerleaders.

The same old English always cheating chant is a bit cringe seeing as the vast majority of our players are English.

I think that was my point, that players don't give a monkeys about it. Jason Perry said he often wasn't aware of what was being sung, players tended to feed off the crowd's energy. Bristol Rovers come out with anti Welsh stuff when they play Welsh sides and they've had lots of Welsh players. Sometimes we lose the distinction of what banter is.

The anti English stuff is ironic considering we play in an English league structure and would be, no doubt, very keen to continue to do so. It’s been stated that the EFL don’t like us and Swansea (and presumably Newport and Wrexham). One would hope that anti English sentiment never comes back to bite us.

It won't, I'm not sure the legality of them booting us but even if they could would they want to? I think each club adds something and you now have Hollywood up north too.

I doubt many people have any ill feeling towards England or it's inhabitants, would be quite irrational and weird.

I just find some of the chants a bit tired. We as a club badly lack a proper anthem.

Re: Anti English chanting mentioned on Call Rob

I don't mind the anti English chants really, because I don't feel any genuine malice is in them.

I have to say though, it does feel different at Wales games now, where the support is more political than it used to be.

My kids have a mixed background and I don't really feel comfortable at Wales games so much now tbh. Not unsafe in any respect but you sense a genuine hatred from some (a minority of course) whereas at City it really is just banter

We had just lost 3-2 having been 2-0 up.
The phone in should be relevant to that, the transfer business etc.
Don't know why it was so relevant yesterday from that bloke?

Sounds like some of our lot were threatening Ipswich fans on the way back to the station

It wouldn't have been a surprise with Bristol , Stoke , etc

But Ipswich ?

I don't think they get many calls, we have sodding Ann from Caerphilly every week after all, so anything about the clubs is welcome.

Not saying it didn't happen and I can imagine one or two were piissed up and piissed off enough to start acting like arses but on the walk back to my car, which was also the location for the City coaches it seemed all quite sedate? Both sets of fans mixing without any moither as far as I could see? I didn't think there were any trains operating on Saturday due to line works and a strike?

Ipswich's family stand contained some beauties mind. Dearie God, they were like a mass lab experiment.

Ipswich is a proper one club, football town, their support were very visible and match days obviously generates income for local businesses. Ipswich fans I spoke to pre and post game were great,one advised where to head off to, we had a good yap about Ipswich in the 70s and respective club owners. I arrived there around 11ish with my lad to have a look around and grab some food.
