Whilst we're all having a little moan, that announcer has to go. Talk about not being able to read a room, yesterday during the teamsheet he sings "Bernardooo" and is met with complete silence. Just awkward for everyone.

I don't mind when he shouts Erling and we all shout Haaland, but why does he repeat himself 4 times. Call me a miserable tosser, but I can't stand him

He does have to go you’re right. Let’s sort a crowd fund out and get it done.

He generally gets a really good reaction.

Miserable tosser.

When he shouted it four times a decent proportion of the crowd replied four times.

Was at the game and have to admit, the atmosphere was pretty flat.

I put that down partially to the fact that the team were awful first half. But the main reason was the amount of tourists - which I’m not complaining about as without them, the ground wouldn’t be full; they just don’t know any of the chants and therefore, don’t join in when there’s an attempt to get them going.

The only chant that seemed to take hold was “come on City” as they were able to follow that one.

Commented to my lad that the club need to take note of Tuesday’s atmosphere; there needs to be a delicate balance between the loyal supporters who get behind the team no matter what, and the casual supporter who generates money for them.

Whilst a flat atmosphere at UCL group games may be endured every now and again, if they continue to price loyal supporters out in favour of casual supporters for PL games, they run the risk of that being the case on those games as well.

Not really, it sounds more like

Announcer: ERLING
Crowd: HAALAND
Announcer: ERLING
Crowd: ...haaland....
Announcer: ERLING
Crowd:
Announcer: ERLING
Crowd:

It's always best the first time so just leave it at that

The club isn’t interested in prioritising the loyal supporters, aka ‘legacy fans’.

Soriano’s demographic is Corporate customers who are more interested in the food and networking, or day trippers who will spend hundreds of quid in the club shop and buy into the ‘matchday experience’.

I know; the day may well come where we’re priced out on our seasoncards, but I’m hoping we can hang on for another 5 years when I reach 65 and mine drops to half price.

We used to go to all the home games in all competitions but dropped the domestic cup games a couple of seasons back, when the seasoncard price increased yet again.

The UCL games may well be dropped for the same reason at some point.
 
We were already through and were playing a team we'd beaten 8-1 on aggregate last season so the atmosphere was flat as little was at stake.
One of the loudest "Come on City" chants came immediately after their first goal.
Six teams were through after four games and UEFA are hoping the new format from next season will lead to fewer dead rubber games. However it's still possible that City and a few others will be guaranteed a top eight finish after six or seven games so dead rubber matches will still exist.

But even in the second attempt, this was not approved at the entrance, said RB. In some cases even utensils were stolen.

Must have tried to bring their own knives and forks for their suppers, or blow up dolls.

They need to blame the Swiss for having "utensils" removed from them I'm afraid, after they had 10 Guy Fawkes amongst them last time, unlucky

Maybe of the ‘legacy’ fans showed a bit more interest in watching the European chanpions in the european champions league they wouldnt have to show more interest in tourists

The Bridge is exactly like that and you get shouted down by some idiot if you try to stand up and raise the atmosphere yourself.

The onus should really be on the club to help harness a good atmosphere. There are enough fans at every club who, if put together, could create a loud and intimidating atmosphere. Find a way separate young fans who want to stand and sing all game from the old farts who have done their time to be fair and just want to enjoy the game and the tourists who are just there for a day out and aren't actually fans of the team.

The Bridge just gets loud and rocky for certain games now. Arsenal and City at home this season were brilliant but the rest of the time it's genuinely pathetic how muted and quiet the ground is and the infuriating thing the solution is so simple.

City, along with most clubs, use 65 as the FOC reduction age, however a few use 60 which was a pleasant surprise at away games for a season or two before Covid.
