Hello fellow bears and just thought our flag day was a pure damp squib! Not talking about the display from the team yesterday but I thought it was meant to be a day of celebration for our fans? What we got was a made up flag pole and that was it! What about making it a day for the fans with maybe flags on our seats etc and at least the Manager coming out with the trophy that none of us who paid great cash never got to see? Ever feel you are getting taken for granted and just expected to fork out hundreds 😇🇬🇧.

Yeah agree about the delivery of it. Perhaps due to C.V. and no fans allowed on blue area, would’ve been nice to have seen flags or supported parade. I did, however see lots of mini 55 flags with kids etc but I think the whole thing was a bit flat tbh

I’m not sure what else giving restrictions they could’ve done, perhaps rolled out some parade of older players. But it’s ours and they can’t take that away 55.

Yately01 I completely agree. I was really disappointed with flag day. I moved heaven and earth to get my missus 12 year old son a ticket because it was a big day and he came away asking what was so good about it. I agree having SG coming down the tunnel with the trophy would have been a good idea and flags on the seats to create a visual display could have been done too.

That leads me to another point which I'm sure will spark a bit of debate. The question is. What comes first, the chicken or the egg? OK I'm not actually asking that but here's my version. What comes first? The team performing better to get the fans buzzing or the fans being supportive loud to create an atmosphere to spur the team on?

I have been shocked at how flat the atmosphere has been at Ibrox recently with the only singing coming from the Union Bears section. The lyon game and then again yesterday was probably the worst Ibrox atmospheres I've ever experienced. The wee fella also asked why I have always spoke to him about the atmosphere was brilliant at Ibrox and he was left really disappointed.

To answer my own question I think we as a support need to get together and lift this team. We need to be as vocal as we can and create a stadium atmosphere for our players to thrive in and the opposition to be fearful. For whatever reason that spark at Ibrox is gone unless it's an old firm game.

i think they both go hand in hand MOC, i agree its our fans who should try to lift players but its the opposite rather than cheers its moans and groans and last year without fans the team didn't need to listen to it and hence didn't become impatient and lose discipline in the last 15 minutes. that's all you could hear in ibrox yesterday. i know its difficult, i'm sure i was letting a few moans and not helpful shouts loose too but in retrospect it did nothing for the team.

I don't even think the moans and groans were that bad. It was just nothing. Mainly silence. It just doesn't feel like being in a football stadium any more. I just can't put my finger on what's wrong with the whole club right now. Team is flat, support is flat, manager seems flat in interviews just now, no effort from board to make flag day special.

I know that response seems very doom and gloom but that is just the feeling I get from the whole club right now. Very very strange given that it's our 150th year celebrations on the back of a brilliant league campaign. Everyone associated with the club from the board to the fans should have a spring in their step but there is nothing. I as one supporter can't do anything to change that but I'm just explaining how I feel about things right now. Surely others can feel how flat everything is or is it just me?
