Atmosphere - 2023/24

[willipp]

It's one of the reasons why I'm not that arsed about going to the matches anymore, the flat atmosphere. You can count on one hand how many top atmospheres there will be in a season. Give me today's football with the Kippax atmosphere and we have a match made in heaven

That’s half the problem though, fucking lazy attitude to it. We need to make days like today better and it is getting better. People just don’t bother and then nothing improves.

It was a shit game to be fair. We had only had 3 shots by the 55th minute and had none before we scored from memory. We scored 5 goals from 7 attempts today. That must be the least attempts we have had at home for years. That and Fulham only bringing around 800 fans didn’t help.

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.

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 .

We are not bobbins. We had some great atmospheres last season and stepped up when we were needed. Some games, like today, for a variety of reasons, are lukewarm.

We need the electricity of a big match to get us going.

Pep needed us against Newcastle and we delivered enough to get the win, without being at our full voice.

Come the bigger games and second half of the season, we will be there, just like last season.

Exactly. Crowds are reactionary. Bitter rivalry, very important games, adversity as we faced against Newcastle and we respond. Early season games against a team we have no strong feelings towards either way, who brought very few fans and a bit of a lacklustre performance and we are tepid.

Apart from away teams with drums. They need to get in the sea.

I think we've had a lot worse than today, it wasn't the best, it started OK, but we played awful for 45 minutes, and that always has an effect. We then quickly put the game to bed second half, and that often makes things worse too.

I still though it was better today than many similar games.

The Fulham turnout was woeful (it often is), but I live just as far away as most Fulham fans, and had the same train issues, but I still made it, and they only have to come to the Etihad once (ignoring cups), I manage to do it 15-20 times most seasons.

It wasn’t great today but then again I’ve never been to Fulham at home where the atmosphere has even been half decent
