Atmosphere Thread | 2025/26

[Quinny851]

Me and my lad are surrounded by Galatasary fans in 133. 8 on the row in front, 6 on the row behind and 2 either side of us. It's a fucking disgrace

No excuses for tonight.. atmosphere is shite and half empty.. everyone got the flu again?

While I'm not ashamed it still quite crap.
Even Stockport county would have had more fans tonight.
Hats off to the blues that made it here .
Those that couldn't be arsed no comment

That'd be 18 more empty seats though if the Gala fans weren't there....
City fans didn't want those seats....that's the unfortunate truth. It's not like the RM game where Madrid fans were taking seats from blues.

Will it need a blue to be killed or seriously hurt before the club take any notice.

They’d have the dead blue’s season ticket cancelled and his seat on third party websites before he was cold in the ground

So if we can’t sell out, then get as many away fans as possible in the home end?

If we can’t sell out, surely the best way to get people into the ground is make tickets cheaper

Cornwall, Northern Ireland or Malaysia would be my guess

As Frankfurt have done to get 58k tonight and they are out! No imagination whatsover at City, most English clubs. Money is tight and other options plentiful.

Sounds good on the box

There's a big difference between not wanting them and being priced out of having them.

South stand 3 near the back

Not saying that, and I've huge respect to those who went. Just that adults were £30 and kids £12.50 available tonight. That's £55 for a parent and 2 kids, £18 each. Do you think if they were a tenner each we'd fill the ground tonight? And that's a credible ask for a champions league game? I'm not so sure.
I think a huge culmination of factors have diluted interest....but the ones showing up for games like tonight need to be rewarded when the tickets are hot for finals, and glamour ties. But that won't happen.

No reason to be ashamed then you are there that's all that matters .

Gala light show all around the Etihad.

Thankfully Gala didn’t score.

You mean like Real Madrid in the semi-final at the Etihad when the club sold Citizen cards to anyone before that match.
