Etihad Atmosphere - 2021/22

[Deleted member 77198]

Not bad first half hour

Completely silent middle half hour (loudest noise in that half hour was Rodri slapping his though in frustration at the ref), bloody awful from us in the stands.

Sung somewhat in the last half hour.

3/10

 

[we are the east stand]

Our support is shocking. What more could our club do to get lazy arses down to the ground? We have a wonderful team and the best manager in the world. We have never witnessed this level of football before.

And the vast majority there tonight didn’t make a sound.

They could have woke up and activated the ticket exchange for cup games sooner than the day before the game for starters.

 

[Tevez City]

Whats our average attendance so far in the league this season, comparing to tonight ?

 

[jrb]

don’t blame pep tbh, best team in the world deserves a full crowd every game. maybe if ticket prices were more affordable…

Or maybe if our fans could buy tickets without needing an IT degree?

To be honest, I don't think he was complaining about the turnout which was pretty good actually. It seems like he's talking more about the atmosphere when he makes these sorts of comments.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

Don’t really blame him. Hopefully it gives some of our supporters kick up the backside. Cheap as anything tonight and most couldn’t be bothered

If they make league games affordable I’d go to them.

Chumps League, it's a no from me.

 

[Marvin]

he has a point , my ticket was £17.50 tonight, embarrassing the amount of empty seats

It was a great attendance. This is a midweek cup game. City never have filled the ground for midweek games, or very rarely. I reckon there were about 2k empty seats in the city end, no more.

Maybe have a word with Khaldoon and get prices reduced might help?

 

[Mike N]

50,000+ against Norwich.

What was the crowd tonight?

We are the champions FFS. First home game after nearly two years.

The atmosphere was good tonight. And it's been very good in the 2 home PL games.

Sorry, I'm not having that.

Ironic Pep has a go at our support and his beloved Barca have 70k empty seats , i know they have crowd restirctions but they didnt sell the 36k tickets available and 75% of them left the stadium at 0-3.

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

Tried to fly over for tonight. Would have cost me 500 quid for 3 of us, not counting tickets.

 

[David Silva]

My ticket tonight was £17.50 so I’m not sure you can blame it on the price.

Not defending the clubs shocking handling of e-tickets this season though.

During which people have lost jobs or have reduced income.

I’m alright Jack.

I know where you're coming from but issues run deeper with some of us. Over officious stewarding. Surrounded by tourists who aren't arsed. Just a couple of personal experiences there.

It would help but many seats are already bought but fans don’t turn up. Lazy.

It wasn’t. Atmosphere was poor tonight

And it’s only been quite good in the other two games.

It's not the match ticket price that's the problem, it's getting to the Etihad mid week for a late ko then getting home at god knows what time.

Throw in the Pandemic and the fact lots of Fans aren't ready to go back to live footy.

I admit to leaving the CL scheme this season. First home game in over 30 years I've not bought a ticket for.

Having said that the stupid ticketing arrangements will put people off.

Should have learnt a lesson over the last month and reverted to traditional selling of tickets for this game.

Yes, 50,000+.

COVID is still about.

And our ticket prices and ticket system are a joke.

There will be 50,000+ against. Southampton

What more do you want?
