Black Bank

[The Beast]

If you’re going to talk about support, I was in the West stand, stayed until the end and clapped the team off, looked around and hardly anyone was clapping, yes the team lost but they gave their all last night! If the South stand was meant to be the Pop side, is the West stand the equivalent of the ‘main stand moaners’.
Yes, the Black Bank was embarrassing and cringey in the first half, I wouldn’t say they’re are a disgrace it’s just ‘shit bants’, typical of football supporters but they got behind the team second half and there wasn’t any sound coming from anywhere else!

Old men having a pop at young lads being daft. At least they turn up.

This old man turned up as always

They turned up to watch their team on a shitty cold wet December evening and were enjoying themselves. Christ knows the players weren't providing any enjoyment for us. When will some people get it that the players aren't snowflakes. They are professional sportsmen paid to do a job. The vocal support is an added bonus.

I'm not a young whippersnapper, nor am i an OAP but IMO it is just young lads having fun, gallows humour and having a laugh. So long as it isn't direct abuse then i really don't see the problem here.

If the players would like to be treated like heroes, then they should start playing like it.

Call yourself supporters? Chanting “we’re f**king shit” after 15 mins, I know we are poor but what does that do for confidence, you’re a f**king embarrassment, why the f**k do you bother coming?

They pay to say it and if the truth hurts !!

But it's very unlikely to improve the team performance, if anything they'll go the other way.

I agree .. but I think it’s more aimed at the board and the need to improve the team over all than to piss off the players some of which aren’t even ours .

Not ours !! what fcking shirt are they wearing, yes they may be on loan but they represent Rovers don’t they

[normal rules]

There was a time when the “crèche” as I will call them, occupied that north end of the west stand.
Kindly migrate back there please so we cannot hear your drivel.

[roversdude]

Please no we don’t want them either

Was there a fire alarm in the black bank today?

There was nothing from them today. Not even before they got the 1st goal.

Very poor indeed. Just when we need some vocal support we get absolute silence.

I take it you were singing and providing vocal support today?

The problem is in most games you go to a game with hope of playing well and hopefully
Getting a result, people are going games now wondering how many we will lose by, with a decent manager and a few new players I'm sure the black bank will make some noise again

I'm waiting for someone to claim that calling the team shit is just 'banter'.

If the referee farted you'd come on here and say it was directed at the board. You know f**k all about what other people think.

[Padge_DRFC]

There's a divide even behind the goal now. Drum and kids around it, Baldwin out groups and then people that generally just can't stand the crap chants.

It's the worst 300 quid I've spent on anything ever this season's season ticket.
