We dont lose the toss its the fact we run out towards the north stand at Kick off. So we are set up to kick towards South first and most teams are happy with this so they can kick toward there fans second half.
Only now and again teams force us to change to try to get a foot hold in the game early and kick towards there fans first half.
Maybe it has something to do with the dressing rooms being on the side of the tunnel both teams run out of?

Were then kicking towards the atmosphere and then the away team are then kicking AWAY from their fans, i noticed a few games this season where we kicked towards the SS second half it just felt a bit better, for example liverpool always kick towards the Kop end for the second half,
It might be something and nothing but would it be worth trying?, also i just thought it would be good as previously mentioned that the away team are kicking away from their fans second half, anyone with me on this?
You are aware of the toss of the coin here, aren't you?
Please say yes....
Since City moved to COMS, I can only recall about 3 times that they have attacked the north stand in the first half. Now you would think the toss would go 50/50 so it seems that whichever side wins the toss prefers to attack the north stand in the first half. Always puzzled me a bit, that one.

Sorry, got my norths & souths mixed up there, above should have read always go to the north in the 2nd half.

Forget kicking towards the South stand or even the North, I will be happy if they just kick towards the back of the net ;)

This is it!
At the coin toss you have two choices (I think?), kick off or change ends... So changing ends gives up first possession... And we've always come out to the North Stand... Although I remember being in The Platt Lane stand as a kid and it being a pretty regular event to be applauding Big Joe coming down after changing ends.. This seemed normal back then, but it's pretty rare these days...?
Not "applauding Big Joe" but us "changing ends" for kick off, before anyone starts!
Is my memory fooling me or has there been a rule change, or just a cultural change in that teams always kick off as 1st option...?
