More tourists than ever this season, noticed it in my block. The amount that arrive 30 mins into the game, shopping bags, stood taking photos in front of fans trying to see the game. Something needs to be done by the club to ensure proper fans are in the stadium!

Seen some doing some live stream thing for whatever platform they might be on.

Amount of phones being used is embarrassing too, fucking filming every little thing that goes on.

Fuck off.
 
Those that sing are the only proper city supporting fans, the rest are city spectating fans.

Sole difference between the two sets is that one understands that the team needs physical support, the other thinks that paying their money alone is enough to help.

Only one set is right, it's the set who give physical support, generations of players and managers all through football have consistently confirmed this by saying how important their fans cheering them on in tough times is. However, those that don't want to do it still believe they know better and will always resort to the "I pay my money, I'll do as I please" line.

Blaming the club's seating arrangement is a convenient excuse, and whilst it may help to bunch all the singers together, that will only ever be a compromise. The fact is, we have a large apathetic fan base who have become used to success, they'll sing and leave games when they bloody well like.
Leaving early and not singing is nothing to do with our success or move to the Etihad. As a young lad with my old fella we always left 10 minutes early ( I had no choice) along with thousands of others at Maine Road when we were shit. Apart from the top of the Kippax near the away fans (except maybe some of the ‘big’ games) the other 3 sides of the ground didn’t contribute to atmosphere.

At Spurs away in the FA cup this season their ‘wall’ of fans were like a load of white shirt stuffed dummies.
 
Belting stuff on the telly. Well done Blues - home and aways, South of England OSCs, spent-a-fortune fly-ins - the lot of you were fantastic.

And for folk who say United songs in games not against them are out of place - fuck ‘em. That horrible lot are always in the media - it’s a valid and vital counter-narrative for the non-aligned armchair football-watcher to hear how much that club are hated.
