Atmosphere - 2023/24

[pride in battle]

Good on you mate.
Not sure how you do it. But well done.
You are a hero.

He's a supporter, not fan...

 

[PPT]

It's funny that because people like you leaving early to save yourself ten minutes I think are wankers :)

Each to their own fella. I think the people who believe they have a right to tell people and dictate
what time they can and can't leave the stadium are arrogant gobshites. But that's just me.
You pay for your ticket. You leave when you want. Everyone has their reasons and it's none
of mine, or anyone else's business to what they are. Live and let live.

2 1 up, backs against the wall with 10 minutes of injury time to face, and thousands of fans heading for the exit . Same 10 mins before half time . There will be the usual arguments about freedom of choice and getting away from the ground, but sorry, this is embarrassing and frustrating to see.

Firstly, you’re not sorry.

Why do you find it “embarrassing” and “frustrating” ?

Because some 13 yr old from Dublin will put a pic of a few empty seats on Twitter with the caption emptihad under it ?

What some might say is more embarrassing in the grand scheme of things is grown ass men caring to such an extent what morons / kids write about City online that they label the perfectly reasonable actions of fellow blues as “embarrassing”

You have to admit it looks shite though, and again if we ALL did it ???

I'm not getting into the rights and wrongs if it, and I don't have the power to impact this any way, but it's frustrating for obvious reasons: I spent the final 10 minutes of a captivating and important game having people walking in front of me as they head for the exit when the lads on the pitch clearly needed some energy to get us over the line.

 

[give it to gordon]

I dont like seeing the early leaves, I dont get it.
Perhaps living so far away I have a different outlook on getting back home. It can take 5hrs it can take over 7hrs, it is what it is.

Yesterday the team need the fans for the last 10 minutes but so many fans were walking away. I sang the hardest I had all game for the last mad 10 minutes.

Guess it's my choice to stay and support the team for the full match or not.

We took the piss out of the gooners for leaving early last season but we do the same !

I agree. Those 'fans' don't deserve this team or manager.

 

[mayo31]

Leaving early has become a habit now for many

They even have many excuses and others defending it

It’s a pain in the arse for those who want to stay and watch having to look beyond those leaving or having to keep getting up to let people pass

That tends to be ignored and that is my biggest bug bear

 

[blue44]

they would do it with this team or any other though,good or bad.

It’s embarrassing and frustrating because we are the best team in the world and an awful lot of supporters won’t support the team when they need it the most.

I don’t understand why you’re being so arsey with someone who politely expressed a valid opinion shared by many.

Wonder what the players think though?

I reckon they really appreciate being applauded off after a hard fought game, you only have to watch Erling to see he appreciates the applause

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

I don’t think we can just keep blaming transport or getting out of the ground for the amount of people leaving early.

Obviously everyone has a choice, but it’s not a great look. I think a lot of people do it out of habit. It doesn’t matter how close the score is or who it’s against they’ll leave early.

I know people who leave on 83 minutes so they can get to the pub earlier. I know people who leave earlier to get a seat on a bus, which then doesn’t leave until 20 minutes after the game is finished.

If people want to spend hundreds of pounds on a season ticket and miss large parts of the game that’s up to them.

Whatever. Majority of our fans live in the NW & whilst that therefore seems they should all stay till the end, getting home through traffic & using public transport is a lottery. The rags have hundreds from Ireland & London, many of whom are staying overnight so they just stay at the ground till the end then make their way to a nearby B&B.
It’s another way of looking at the “non existent problem”
Don’t give a toss what someone watching the rags on TV thinks.

Same here, minimum 5hr drive home for us and never even considered bolting early - sad thing is it’s got to the stage that we’re getting home earlier now as so many leave the traffic’s not as bad when you stay to the end.

 

[citymad]

For all the moaning about internationals getting in the way of watching City you would think the fans would be up for it especially after two defeats, playing at the preffered kick off time against a team that can play. I guess all that moaning is just hot air. Good effort with the fire drill though.

Yea lol I was back home by 11:15 its normally well gone midnight with a 7am start. Why would I leave 10 minutes early with all the costs I'm going to watch every minute !

Yes, but what do you reckon our players think?

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Yesterday there was the usual early rush to be in the first few thousand leavers but then the game became tense and the 'dripping out' seemed to almost stop.

The roads were certainly busier getting onto the motorway when I finally got out of SS3 after the whistle.

It'll be interesting how soon people fuck off once the parking restrictions come in. It'll add a good 30 mins to my getting home time but, will mean I'll have no reason to have to park up around 13.00 for a 15.00 game so my time away from home may actually come down.....I'll just miss a little more Strictly ;)

 

[give it to gordon]

I'm going to start leaving work 10 minutes early to avoid the rush. I'll see how this works out ;)
