Sith Happens Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 In response to the scenes at West Ham today Savage stated that during the 11 points season the atmosphere at Pride Park was hostile and that the players preferred playing away from home, he made reference to chants of 'you're not fit to wear the shirt'. It might be my memory but my recollection of that season was that the fans were fantastic (the fans got player of the year?), and I actually only recall that chant after the final home game when we got beat 4-0 by fellow relegated team Reading? Is he talking rubbish, or is my memory fading badly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagerbob Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 We sang it plenty of times before the final game. Played were booed off at half time and full time on countless games, probably the majority. Of course when that happens its easier to play away from home. I wouldnt say Savage waas talking rubbish on this particular issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenniumram Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Even if it’s true it’s hardly an unfair chant given what happened that season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannable Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Half-times boos were the worst I remember, countered by far better atmospheres than we have now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doodle Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I think the atmosphere changed after villa and West Ham tonked us at home. Before that we tried hard but were not good enough. After the villa game especially, they didn’t even try. Away games were good though. I think a lot of home teams admired us turning up en masse to support that shower of *****.

Andicis Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 They WEREN'T fit to wear the shirt to be fair. Worst team in Premier League history after all. Completely justified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall most of the crowd being restrained in voicing their protests until the last match of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's talking like he played crap Don't going blaming fans for the tripe they served up I can remember going to Blackburn taking 7,000 when we had been relegated three months before He's got to be in the six poorest players I've seen at the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree there has always been a solid hardcore, of us fans who will always stay behind the team like we did in the early 80s, my attitude has always been the same, I am so proud to be a RAM, and I will show it antill the day I die.

Duracell Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 He’s getting is memories mixed up. The atmosphere was hostile the season after, but we were remarkably passive in 07/08. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone in fancy dress. I remember a Blackburn fan walking the length of the pitch to clap us. We really were in it together. We stood and clapped what someone shouted was the team bus...only for an old Albert Wilde coach to chug slowly past with the people on board wondering wtf was going on Standing at anfield singing ‘7-6 were gonna win 7-6’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
