Fed up with monday morning conversations and piss takes about our empty seats, even worse when it's true sometimes. Just wish the club would do something about it
The fans are the ones that make the character of the club. They create the atmosphere.
To give a different analogy, if you were up for a good night out then you’d put on your best clobber, make sure all your mates were out, even the ones that were skint (because you’d sort them out), you’d have a good skinful and have a great time. As long as the night club, pub or person’s house wasn’t a total dive, you’d have a great time and wonder when you could all do it again.
It’s nothing to do with the stadium, sorry, ground.
If we were away fans visiting the Etihad, we wouldn’t stop singing.
Atmosphere is not painted on the walls!
Unfortunately I suppose what we see now in empty seats is the harvest of decades of failure and its impact on new younger fans, coupled with the TV/Streaming services offering the once sacred product without the cost or need to travel. If I'm honest I don't see a ready made solution as I'm fairly certain the core match day fan will be continued to be partially replaced by a latter day tourist coming to occasional games. The real disappointment here is that City seem happy how it's going so little will change.
Wind your neck in pal, I was having a joke at Dave Whelan's expense, as was perfectly clear in my post.Perhaps if you took more time reading my post you would see my explanation for the disclosure of my age etc:
Instead of which you try be a smart boy with your comment about Dave Whelan. I rest my case about about respect. Or as in your case the lack of it, if you lack the true understanding of our written word. You might be advised to change your allegiance and become a Liverpool Supporter.
Hear, hear. And some on here voted for a bloke who chooses not to attend City home games as "our" representative on all things fan-related. "Tell us how to improve the match day experience, especially at champs' league games." "Er, I have no idea, I don't bother with those. "The day when Bluemoon actively starts to encourage fans not to go to games is the time to call it a day.
Etihad no character? The fans are the characters. You're changing, or have changed.
City till I die.
You'll be with us at Cardiff today I assume?Hear, hear. And some on here voted for a bloke who chooses not to attend City home games as "our" representative on all things fan-related.

Nope, not at Cardiff, but will be at Shaktar away, plus any others that I can get to. Not today though. Off to see me mum in hospital. Barring any disasters I'll be at every single home game. You actively choose not to go and support the team at home for reasons given above. I have a sneaky feeling you'd go to the final though and that your price protest would suddenly crumble in the face of seeing us win the european cup.You'll be with us at Cardiff today I assume?
If they do ask me I'll tell them to recognise their fans haven't got bottomless wallets so charge no more than £15 for group stage games, stop putting up season ticket prices when there's no need (which is why I won't be going to CL games this season), to sort their ticket site out so people who want tickets can buy them and to make some effort to help fans with the appalling transport issues that put people off attending midweek games.
This is spot on PB. I heard Marcotti on Talksport the other night mentioning that City fans need to get over the FFP fine, but he is completely missing the point re the feeling against UEFA.
Even in 2018 alone we have had the bent decisions in the 2 x Liverpool games inc the actual refs appointed and the Pep suspension, Liverpool being allowed to smash up the City team bus and get a fine less that we got for getting on the pitch 60 seconds late, and a bent new coefficient introduced rewarding the cartel G14 teams.
I went to the Lyon game and would estimate that in my small block of about 80 supporters, every fan present bar maybe 4 were not the regular season card holders.
Like others have commented above, there is a big problem with this at City and the club should be appointing somebody with a remit to try and resolve ( and include the early leavers and empty seats for league games ).
Its been a PR week from hell for the club and somebody needs to pull their finger out and try and do something about it.
