Club 1871 - the What, When, Where, How, Who & Why Thread

[Simmops]

Club 1871 were back on it last Saturday, so much better.

[Simmops]

Club 1871 have a job to do and that job is to be as disruptive as possible before, during and after games.

TBF - I'm not sure why its all down to Club1871 to do something, surely any Reading fan can do something or are the people who sit in the rest of the ground completely incompetent?

They are the most passionate and vocal of the Reading supporters, it is on them. They wanted their own supporters movement and they got it, they have to now use it to try and enforce change and be the voice of the Reading supporters. They also sit together in the ground in large numbers, they have the power to protest.

all too manufactured imo

getting a professionally made banner does nothing

I'm sure the club will be delighted by this, given how they've bent over backwards to accommodate C1871, and the amount of revenue they've lost by cutting down the away allocation.

To be fair to Club 1871 they kinda had to say something. They are seen by many as an elite group of supporters who have got their own way for a while now. For them to be silent at this time would lead to a lot of questions being asked of them. They are between a rock and a hard place.

Yeh and fair play to them. Just wouldn't be surprised if they suddenly disappear.

Yep, can't see this working out for them long term. Better to die standing up for what you believe in though.

The demise is well under way

I'm hopeful we don't see Club 1871 attendances dwindle over the coming weeks. I can fully understand why they would, but they wanted this in the ground and they got it so they should stick by it, which I believe they should.

I always thought it was a good idea for the club in general and I believe it will continue to be successful if we can get more fans in the door once we can actually start winning games.

Just eyeballing but it feels if you compared the % decrease of attendees across the stands, C1871 would show the smallest decrease. Not something that is great to compare though.

Yeah I've just based it off the fact that the whole stadium's attendance has decreased, so that "some" will have come from Club 1871, even though it likely is less % than the rest of the ground. Either way, it's still far from full in that area so that's what we can hope for.

Don`t feed the trolls, the longer this thread stays active the longer the main two nobheads will feel the need to post their nothing views.

Seems like club1871 fans are rattled

[Snowflake Royal]

In case anyone was stupid enough to think it, that has nothing to do with me. I wouldn't dream to presume I could speak for C1871. I also could not be arsed to buy banner, and I've not interest spending ££s to travel across the covid infected country to watch us lose, when I can do that from my sofa

Seems to me the Chronic has gone out to get an interview with a handful of people who took a banner, and represent it as some sort of official view of what is mainly just a collection of individuals who feel strongly about backing RFC.

Much like any fan, if they're constantly served shit, people will sooner or later turn.

I suppose Dai might be petty enough to shut down the section, but it'll do no good. It'll kill what little atmosphere there is. And he'll have to play behind closed doors to avoid criticism and banners at games.

Currently in the away end.

Great support from Club 1871 as usual.

How many are there?

None. Because they don't go to away games .

[St Pauli]

Loads.

And they’re rocking the away end.

They were.

You can’t blame them for giving up with the shot on display.

They don't go to away games. They aren't fans.
