There is no way City should agree to this ffs. Football is F**ked

Is the neutral venue klanfield

I understand what you're saying but I think it does matter. When Vinny did his MBA he said how much fans in the stadium, creating an atmosphere, matter.

I suppose psychologically the adulation, and excitement, at the very moment Vinny scored "that goal" and the crowd reaction was an extra factor.Performance wise, Vinny was probably that focused even in training.
Lesser players can be motivated by larger crowds I am sure. Top level, experienced players, a different matter.
Wouldn't argue with Mr Kompany though.

All these people saying they just can't get into the Bundersliga games and can't watch more than 15 mins, did you before? I know I didn't and unless it was a really big match such as Madrid Barca I wouldn't watch any foreign football. Just doesn't interest me.

This doesn't seem any different once they put crowd noises over it

Yes I watch games that are on BT sport as it is in my virgin package automatically not subscribed.

I have watched plenty of german football 1st and 2nd division, A-league, some MLS, portugeuse and italian games before they lost the coverage this year french league I don't watch.

I enjoy many bundersliga games the last few season but I didn't last 10 mins watching the empty ground shite when it came back two weeks ago

Nah. Melwood.

 

[urban genie]

Sums it up really

 

[chesterbells]

Tell you what, this is outrageous. It’s not real footy. I will say this, if next season is behind closed doors, there’s no way I’m going.

 

[PistonBlue]

What's the official reasoning for the 30 neutral venue games? As if this whole idea isn't daft enough already, how on earth can that be right?

 

[Fordyboy46]

Can honestly say I couldn't give a flying fuck about the rest of this season now, going to be awful with no fans and no noise except for the managers odd swear words. Games will probably resemble training matches, such a poor decision to restart.

 

[waspish]

Defending the trophy. Two cup wins this season. I’d have that.

I just think the CL is too random to win this time. One Semi Final since we qualified.

For me any trophy win after this 2 month break means nothing it tainted and forever having a massive Asterisk.

Just the League Cup this season seems a disappointment after everything achieved in the last one.

It’s surely going to hurt Pep and the players?

High profile games they expect fans to turn up at so all scouse home games, london derbies, us v scousers etc.

Well it can't be Wembley ;-)

 

[SamBlue]

Just a couple of months ago playing your home game away and without supporters was considered one of the harshest punishments in the world of professional football and now......I don't pretend to have any answers to this extraordinary situation humanity found itself in, but 'they' can go fuck themselves for taking me - a season ticket paying fan - for a complete moron talking about regularity and honesty.

Sounds like a reason to bin this ludicrous ‘restart’

 

[Withnail]

Looking forward to watching City again albeit on TV, but football without fans is not right and I think a lot of the players may struggle to play in empty stadiums.

 

[basokla]

If next season starts behind closed doors, it's got to end the same, you cant go changing it half way through

Apparently you can.

 

[WEMBLEY76]

Games gone for now.

 

[salford blue 62]

You will be able to hear every scream from Grealish as he hits the ground.

It’s gonna be football mate. Do you like football? If you were walking through a park where a match was on on a Saturday afternoon or a Sunday morning, would you look across and watch it for a bit?
I’ve had my fill of professional football long before covid, and watched City and no one else (apart from tournament international games), but the game itself I am still interested in.
When I go and watch City, I don’t do it for the humour of those sat around me, or for the singing, or the atmosphere (if all those happen, then great), but I do it to watch City play football.
They’ll be playing football, so I’ll be watching, beer in hand, hoping they win.
It’s the best we’ve got.
