A s**t away end full of tourists

[blue b4 the moon]

It was Baltic, think we sold about 2300 out of 5000 available. Reduced allocations were seen at all over the country, the team was poor and the prices ridiculous, I earnt 1000s of points in this era, anyone of a certain age could have easily done the same but places like Wigan and Bolton even saw modest City followings due to cost

Brrr that day.

Our minibus followed a snow plough up the motorway over the tops on the 62, had some nice beer in Thirsk and missed the fucking goal having a piss.

The most obvious factor in knowing these fans are tourists is the fact they all appear in little groups all wearing the same scarf, it’s like they have been given one each as part of the experience, probably when they arrive at their hotel room. Khaldoon, Soriano, whoever is responsible for this continued shambles has let the real City fans down, we are not just the minority in the away ground, we are becoming the minority in our section. There was a time my existence revolved around our fixture list, stupid I know but true, I now feel that apathetic about the whole experience there is a huge part of me thinking stop wasting your time with this over priced under appreciated charade, it’s not how you remember it from the terraces, it will never return it will only go the other way. Stood there yesterday our section felt like we were extras in the Liverpool show, little passion, no noise, no defiance, just rows and rows of star struck tourists, completely soulless

its a PL issue, happening at all teams in the PL. liverpool/sarsenal, spurs/ yanited and more all experiencing the same.

I'm not sure it is, we play the rags shortly their away crowd at ours never looks touristy.

I've been to a few non-league games wearing a City scarf. Is that OK?

Was it at Wealdstone?

Sometimes the performance on the pitch does affect the support, yesterday we only occasionally got anywhere near the away section in the first half, not even a single corner to get worked up about. A better second half but our attacks were at the far end and tbh I think a lot of Blues were resigned to defeat which also dampened the atmosphere.

If you don’t know Danny Wilson how can you call him that name?
Danny Wilson has always been helpful with fans. I know this personally and also for what he has done for other fans I know. So unless he has done something to upset/hurt you personally there is surely no need for that?

Agreed Danny is a decent lad ,if my money was going anywhere I would have a look at a certain sporting director from Barcelona who is retiring and who's last game it was at klanfield,
Those shirts were worn for a reason and none of them were kids .

As part of their protests and demands over the years, one of the big things they kicked off about was exactly this issue. They demanded it ended. I think the club agreed to their demand.

But they have a proper fans group who have a say at their club, like Liverpool and Newcastle also do.

We do not have one. We have no voice and the club know this.

Don't worry if our recent form continues the tourists will melt away as fast as the recent snowfall we had.

They do care. But not in public. They will have spoken to UEFA in private and left it st that. But as you say, that comes across as the club not caring. Their public PR with the fans is totally fucked up and misguided. An own goal!

Agree that shit show was totally on UEFA and City will have had words.

This is why i would not mind getting relegated. all these tourists and half and half scarfs would soon fuck off

I’m sure you don’t really want us to get relegated but it’s a valid point that the tourists won’t be around if we truly go to shit on the pitch. In fact, they won’t be at Palace on Saturday or Leicester over Christmas and you can bet that the atmosphere in both those away ends will be miles better than it was yesterday.
