Etihad Atmosphere - 2021/22

Weird how we’re all different, because I agree it’s great that we sometimes have a good atmosphere but I really don’t care if it’s crap as long as we win, of course. If it was consistent every game then you wouldn’t remember the good ones, which is part of it.
That’s like saying, it’s alright being mid-table nobodies and getting the odd win against the big clubs every now and again but watch shit football the rest of the time because we’re not getting relegated and we remember the big wins when they come round every so often.
 
Again, having ago at other blues without considering that the club's negligence and fuck ups cause it to begin with.

If you could get a pint at half time, no one would leave at 35. But the service and infrastructure is inept as fuck.

I normally get the train but obviously had to drive today. I live in Glossop - took me almost two hours from the time I got in my car to the time I walked in the door. That's why people leave early. I stayed to the end, but can understand why fans would try to shorten that.

Anyone in here moaning about other supporters is fucking thick as shit... Not only do you have no empathy or understanding of other people's circumstances, but it's immediately condemning the fan rather than looking at the nuance and the root cause.

The club is to blame.
Thanks for questioning my intelligence but if you read carefully I have blamed the club in part. As for taking two hours to Glossop I suggest you go a different way. Took me half as long to drive home after Leicester than it did Leeds. Mainly due to less traffic on the road and the fact people left early again. Did you stop on the way for a pint? I have plenty of empathy but explain how, when it suits, we have a full ground at the full whistle but most of the time it’s probably only half full at best. Everyone moans about the beer so why the rush at half time. Can’t people go without and stay in their seats. You don’t see people leaving a theatre or cinema half way through for a pint.
 
The groan when Leicester got their third goal was louder than a cheer! Default is clearly to moan than support. Sterling knows all about this attitude.

That’s one reason I always want a terrible referee because that’s the only time the rest of the ground join in, when they can moan at the ref.
 
I want to watch the game, if I wanted to jump up and down and open my mouth I would go to Boca Juniors and not watch the game.

People like yourself have this weird concept of what a British atmosphere is supposed to be.

The atmospheres in Britain reflect what is going on on the pitch, always has done and always will do. Today was a mixture of how easy it was for 45 mins followed by how tense it was with the Leicester comeback.

We dominate 90% of games we play for a duration of 90% of each game. It’s enjoyable, it’s fascinating, it’s great viewing.

To say we don’t deserve this team or manager is a crock of shit.

We’ve got big games coming up and the atmosphere will as always for those games be great.

Is that what you think we want, an atmosphere like Boca? Jesus wept!

Straight forward question, will you contribute to the ‘great’ atmosphere at the next big game?

There are other reasons for falling gates nationally but only ours ever get mentioned. Our club could certainly give reduced or even free seats to those who cannot afford to go. Better to have somebody there than nobody and food sales would rise too.
Unfortunately journos are programmed to mock City's crowds and would do so if we gave free tickets away. Twats. But few have the balls to write articles asking why crowds generally are falling whilst tens of millions in the Far East etc cannot get enough of the PL . Spurs attendances in their big new shiny stadium for the last three matches have been piss poor yet do not get mentioned and they are not alone.
 
This is the atmosphere thread, and the atmosphere is fucking horrendous!

I don’t care what other sets of fans have a shit atmosphere or a great atmosphere, i don’t care whether we or anyone else has empty seats (although it just feels and aesthetically looks better when it’s full), I go to watch City so I’m only bothered about our atmosphere.

When it’s good, it makes going to the game more enjoyable. Football is 50% the game on the pitch and 50% fan culture… and the fan culture side of things with our home support is desperately poor, therefore people aren’t enjoying that side of going to the game.

Yes, the football is great, we’re top of the league, we’re brilliant… that side of the 50% is fantastic; but the other side of it really isn’t! The vast majority of our match going support are boring buggers and sit silently for the most part of every single match.
I hear your outrage. Will you stop going anytime soon?
 
We’ve been spoilt with success. A lot of fans have lost their passion.

People pay for their tickets and decide how they choose to support the lads. That’s fair enough. Pep and the team do, however, deserve better support from the fans. That won’t happen and we get on with trying to retain the Prem and win the Champs League.

Why do they deserve better support? They are paid to win games and put on a show for us, who pay extortionate ticket prices.

If they want louder support then why don’t each of them take a 10% pay cut and put towards subsidising tickets for fans who like to open their mouths. They won’t because they don’t give a shit so if people are paying £60 to watch a game then they will do exactly that.

Im sick of reading criticism of our support after a great win. It was the same after the 6-3 win over Leipzig by our champagne socialist manager and the same after our 6-3 win v Leicester. We turn out in our thousands with high ticket prices, shit customer service, poor transport and 90% of the time teams who do nothing but put 11 men behind the ball and frustrate us.

Our support is fucking great and we don’t need louder renditions of “and we’re all singing Edin Dzeko” to validate that.
