rosa Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I could hear you all on BBC manc as it was the featured match......keep it up. Just ask topoff to keep his top on now as winter is coming and I fear hell get a chest infection. Did the little lads in the chaddy behind the goal sing today and take their top off s too? Yes,Topoff is setting a worrying trend. I look forward to reading about their pneumonia at work in the coming weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaddy_Ender Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Yes,Topoff is setting a worrying trend. I look forward to reading about their pneumonia at work in the coming weeks. Topoff is 15 and the lads behind the goal are probably half that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaddy_Ender Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 (edited) Aren't you an adult? Why are you hanging around with 15 year old boys..? Thats a shocking comment, as my 8 year old stands with him and is part of the group I generally sit close by to keep an eye on him not that I should have justify myself to someone who clearly knows nothing about me.

ShireBlue Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Good noise yesterday chaps. A few more traditional Latics songs wouldn't go amiss for me, but good effort as per. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oafc88 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Not wishing to divert the thread onto a RRE vs Chaddy acoustics debate but I sat in the RRE today for the first time in ages and I found I could hear the Athleticos loud and clear, even when it looked like them just singing. Nothing ear shattering but I could hear them just fine. It goes without saying that it will only be louder if more people join in. For me where they are is irrelevant.

Louder yesterday in part due to the :censored:e away following and nearly as :censored:e home following. I also thought the Athleticos were larger in number yesterday. But hated their sign.

I also thought the Athleticos were larger in number yesterday. But hated their sign. Oh I'm not saying they were noisy (at least not when they sung on their own) just that they were perfectly audible. Naturally if you sit in the RRE next to a better away following they will sound louder as they are nearer or even if there is a group of home fans singing constantly in the RRE you won't hear the Chaddy End. I sit in the main stand upper, on the halfway line, and can hear both stands well enough when people make noise. In fact there was a game recently where there was supposedly a good away following, singing all game, and I wasn't even aware there was one until I got home on here and people said so. As for the Athleticos leave them to it I say. Others have said it's helping attract the younger fans and I kinda believe them. My 13 year old cousin lives abroad but comes home on a semi-regular basis and he loves them. He was a United fan after his dad but switched allegiances towards back end of last season. Before the Athleticos I know but this group is helping keep his interest and he goes standing with them when at home games. It's pissing his dad off no end so at least we can take one positive out of the group! Edited November 9, 2014 by Oafc88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I was quite impressed with them yesterday. The only other time I'd seen or really noticed them was Fleetwood at home. But there were far more and added a bit of an atmosphere which simply wouldn't have been there. Towards the end of the game it was good and had a lot of the main stand and paddock joining in too. Anything which gets youngsters interested and feeling part of something is only good for the club IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Burns Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 As for the Athleticos leave them to it I say. Others have said it's helping attract the younger fans and I kinda believe them. Definately. 100%. When #thegroup was first mooted it was defo too political and the prospect of adults gettin involved and turning it into a left wing :censored:fest was massively cringey. Now its mostly a load of kids :censored:in about havin a laugh and backing the team, I think its great. I think everyone likes them really, just that its funny to wind that certain poster up! Surprised to hear he is an adult based on his posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigfatjoe1 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 They seem like a very well behaved group of young people trying to inject a bit of passion into what has become a morgue-like atmosphere. Their peers are probably off to :censored:y or manure, so i say well done to them. Keep it up boys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveoafc Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I think the Athleticos deserve credit for yesterday. They kept going even though the match was pretty drab.i was in MSU and heard them fine. Keep it up lads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
