It's not even normal mate. Telling fans to sit down Blocking people who dare rise any bad situations within the club. I've defended us for a while now but this ain't normal. They are ******* trolling us. They've killed any atmosphere that's in the club.
Can tell Whitey's no longer involved in club media. Also shot themselves in the foot by getting rid of Keith Turner and, I assume, replacing him with some 25 year old agency worker, called Calum, from Silkstone.
If they’re blocking the ones who dole out vile abuse towards the club, Khaled, JAQ, Collins and the players after every subpar performance then absolutely fair enough imo. They have every right.
Telling fans to sit down is spot on. I suppose you're happy to stand up every match in front of someone who's elderly and can't stand or kids who can't see through you. There are some disgusting people on twitter. I'd be amazed if they weren't blocking people. The atmosphere at all grounds was badly affected by the introduction of all seater stadia. That's not the club's fault. And believe me I've been at many games at Oakwell before all seater stadia where the atmosphere was crap. If you want things to change maybe do as you're asked and make some positive suggestions andmaybe the club might listen to you. Given the constant trend of bad behaviour at our club though they're far more likely to think they can't trust fans who openly disrespect others while in the ground.
They must’ve set up an automatic block list. A couple of people I know were blocked who have never tweeted anything to the club. Those lists are good but pick up people randomly too
The club Twitter is ****. All that sarcasm about a striker when we beat Port Vale then last night it was like they were happy just to be in the first round. The whole club is embarrassing at the moment, including the fans who constantly clapped Horsham for 90 minutes.
It’s appalling if true. They shouldn’t be making block lists. Their should be the odd case of blocking individuals if they go too far but ultimately you want fans through the door & their should be a pretty high threshold before they’re blocking people.
They should created a zone for fans that want to generate a bit of atmosphere. They want us to sit down with fingers on lips, next we won’t be able to celebrate a goal!
I think it's more that they don't want you getting the club fined for persistent standing and if you could avoid the racist and sectarian chanting too that'd be appreciated. I don't have a degree in atmosphere but I've heard rumours it's possible to create one without doing the above
They want you to sit with your fingers on your lips. Really? Maybe stop singing obnoxious songs and they might be more disposed to accommodate some changes.
So without knowledge of where I sit you are basically calling me sectarian? Don’t judge a book by its cover! Idiot
I was talking about the crowd in general but now I'm curious. Which chant or song have the club prevented you personally from singing?
Yesterday's blocking was a case of this.....the club tweeted the score at full time then deleted it for some unknown reason, someone then tweeted club asking why they deleted it as it dont change how bad we were Next thing he knows he is blocked
So you're upset that they've stopped other people from singing racist and sectarian songs then? That's a bit of a weird thing to get upset about if you ask me.
You are putting words into my mouth, I’m upset that the club are stopping people for standing up, I’m upset the clubs blocks fans on Twitter for having an opinion. I’m upset that matchday atmosphere at oakwell is the worst I’ve seen it and I’ve been going for the past 20 years.
Why are you upset the club are stopping people standing up? Have you no thought for the people sitting behind who have to stare at someone's back all match?
