When your ground is half full of tourists that’s what you get, it won’t improve we’re the best club in the world and people from all over the planet want to come and take selfies and buy half and half scarfs to show their families/ mates back home. it is what it is your dippers, and rags games will be ok the rest of the time it’s like your at a church burying a loved one

Yes I'm still pinching myself we won 5-1, tough on Fulham but to be fair we did improve a lot in the second half. That goal just before half time sickened them. I've watched it back on TV tonight and yes it probably was a bit harsh, but we had the same thing happen to us at Sheffield, probably worst as their player was right on top of Ederson. Shit happens. We would still have beaten them anyway.

Did you miss Kyle Walker being a dick and playing every **** onside with his stupidity?
 
I think everyone is waiting for Red Star Belgrade at home, that will be tasty and at least they'll create a great atmosphere
 
We moan about the press/media etc yet we have this thread that knocks the match going fans !

To me our atmosphere/noise levels are very similar to all other premier league clubs.

It's like some have bought into the myth sound rounding other clubs atmospheres. Dippers and rags can sound like a library and have empty seats, the press/media wont mention it. Than we start a thread knocking our own fans and play into the press/media hands lol.

When you are in the singing end you cant hear the rest of the stadium as you just hear what's around you.

Anyway we enjoyed 314 area, I will admit the game didnt help and I never heard or saw a fulham fan all day. Which didnt help the game.

The black guy singing in the technical area before the game was miming blue moon. Weird choice of act to have on.

The whole band were miming. The song they were pretending to play was just a recording of ‘Magalenha’ over the stadium speakers with them tapping their instruments, many of which in the song weren’t even there in the band.



(Mint song though!)

It was for part of the celebration day for Bahia joining CFG. The black guy is Carlinhos Brown. There were a few other events going on around the campus for what they called O dia da Bahia. Elano was also a part of it.

Yeah, it was advertised mate. I tried to push it as much as I could by word of mouth, but some people have their own plans with family etc.

Hopefully the lads keep pushing for this and conversing with the club. If they gave the group the chance in a bigger game, with a few weeks notice, I think we could get a good group up there and create a racket.

1894 did well in managing to get around five rows of people to move for one game with two weeks notice just off social media.

Imagine, working together, what both the club and 1894 could achieve with a full 12-month drive to advertise the new North Stand, given a proper name and therefore identity, as an atmosphere stand!

We are at the pinnacle of football which is fucking ace but atmosphere wise we are bobbins. No one forces anyone to attend games or sing or stay silent.

It is what it is .

To be fair jeopardy and tension fuels atmosphere. We’re at a point with very little jeopardy or tension. Atmosphere picked up last season because the 115 lies, performances dropping off after Christmas, and then we had to roar our way to the Treble. Now we’re basking in the afterglow. It’s early in the season, we haven’t really faced top tier opposition yet apart from Newcastle, and it’s comfortable at the top - so comfortable the way some of us are talking about yesterday you wouldn’t think we won 5-1…so it was never going to be a cauldron throughout.Atmosphere outside SS3 - who I could hear from NS2 throughout - was definitely relaxed, sunny and social rather than rocking, but I’ve no doubt the fire will come back when needed. I’ve done my share of moaning about folk who sit in silence for 90mins, but I’m happy to take yesterday for what it was. A good team performance, a nice showcase for the newer, younger and lesser seen lads. We are never going to be like Germans where there is no connection between circumstances and noise, all going well the atmos will build as the season unfolds, as it did well last season.

It was like that away at Burnley first game - the same people constantly in and out of the seats, up and down to the concourse and back. It was getting on my nerves! They weren’t watching any of the game, strange behaviour.

I'm use to watching cricket, around 8-9 hours. I know I'm a bore but it's no problem for me.
Another issue is where I sit (E upper) there are coach parties of kids from Scotland that are constantly up and down throughout the game. I didn't enjoy yesterday at all.

It’s not half full of tourists. That’s a bit of an exaggeration. You can look at pictures of the south stand for example and I wouldnt describe it as tourist central

The Newcastle game was great for noise so we can do it

There was a tourist next to me in the south stand that was making more noise than most the locals

what makes a tourist ?

I guess we might be classed as that by some. All 3 of us in our 60's southern accents ( me born in didsbury ) but been City all our lives. Now our kids are all City with southern accents.
We have been all over the country watching gods own, from the 3rd division to the very top.
It's great now to see little kids who live around us in their fill City kits. This was unheard off just 3 or 4 years ago.

PS well also stay till the end lol

I still don't understand that rule, it's even more ridiculous than the present offside rule. The field of play is over the white line. If the ball crosses it then it's out of play. How the fuck then can a player that's off the field of play behind the white line be playing somebody onside? How?? It makes zero sense.

It might be quicker for you to list what you do enjoy.

There are those whose glass is half empty and others who have smashed the glass and lamenting that they’ve spilt more drink on the floor than they have.

It’s time for you to buy a new glass.

Does this mean if a substituted player walking to the dugout behind his goal, that tactically he is in the field off play after being subbed lol

We are primarily there to watch the match. During it we shout and on occasion chant and sing which is our reaction to what's happening on the field of play. We're not auditioning for football's version of the X factor, we pay to watch what's happening on the field. I do however love to get involved with all the chanting and singing, which is why I'm in safe standing. Yesterday was quite flat all around, on and off the field. That sounds odd considering it was a 5-1 scoreline but that didn't really reflect our performance. In fact the chant used the most yesterday was, "Come on City, come on City!" In an effort to get us going and took me back to our dark times at Maine Road when it was sang a lot.
