If you’ve been a match going city fan for more than 18 years you’d know that the match itself contributes very little towards the ‘matchday experience’.You must have been gutted when Phil scored that brilliant last minute winner…or were you too busy watching the crowd and feeling miserable.
I honestly think they just don’t care enough to do these good suggestions though.What’s obvious to me is that a lot of fans are stopping attending because of the lack of atmosphere. Branding the new stand as “The New Kippax, pushing it hard as an atmosphere end and offering very cheap tickets would pay for itself with an upturn in demand.
Half price season tickets for anyone in the existing safe standing areas to relocate would be a good starting point. Some sort of reassurance that ticket prices will never exceed the south stand. Work down the loyalty points if necessary but some sort of system where groups can move would be even better. Use it as a loss leader. They can sell the seats made available through this however they want but the new stand should be in effect reserved for working class old school fans. When we moved to the Etihad we added 15,000 to the gate immediately. The same happened with West Ham, spurs and Everton more recently.
It can be done but they need to get their arses in gear.
Never said that.So you preferred the days under Pearce did you? You are not fooling anyone here.
How many supporters clubs do we have a hundred possibly more so why isn't someone from the club or someone like Kevin Parker getting round the supporters clubs and encouraging better vocal support I recall the game against stoke years ago under Joe Royle and the ground and support galvanised the team we all need to make an effort simple
‘Red Lines’ ffs…1894 threw their toys out of the pram when the club didn't adhere to every single one of their "red lines".
What did I say that wasn't factually correct?Stop it!
You keep on blaming 1894 for everything.
You really are tiresome.
Do something yourself instead of constantly criticizing 1894, who have done more than you will ever do.
It's easy to criticize from a far, and when you don't don't do anything yourself.
I don’t know whether they don’t care or they just don’t see it. What I do know is that “the product” would be better with better atmosphere. They would sell more corporate and get more tourists.I honestly think they just don’t care enough to do these good suggestions though.
Why bother with all that when there’s an endless number of humans who would like to tick ‘watch a premier league match’ off their bucket list (and pay handsomely for the privilege)?
Let's turn the lights off, shut the door and never return then ?The whole stadium has had it's day, not just SSL1.
Don't for one second think the new NSL2 tier is going to be any better, because it isn't.
We must have the biggest fucking moaners in football history !! Get a fucking grip !Yet again the bar service is shite. Some lass who asked for 2 pints received a pint cup which was barely half full, they're f*cking useless.
The bar then ran out of Asahi and London Pride.
Totally with you on this. Those “red lines” were a stupid move. I don’t blame 1894 for the lack of atmosphere at all, not one bit. But if they do consider themselves to be a group dedicated to atmosphere I believe they should be shouting from the rooftops about this new stand and trying to harangue the club and the wider fanbase into some kind of action.What did I say that wasn't factually correct?
I don't blame 1894 for everything, in fact the only thing I've ever criticised them for is the way they've handled this new north stand.
I've stood by you in protests, helped you out with displays and donated to you financially. I think the majority of the work you do is good work and wish for it to continue.
However I'm very passionate about this new stand, and firmly believe that the way that 1894 have publicly denounced it has contributed to the new stand not living up to its full potential.
Exactly !! But no lets moan how shit the atmosphere is !! Blame the tourists ??? There's literally 10's of thousands of local City city fans who NEVER SING ! That's the problem, not accoustics, tourists, fans being priced out etc ! It's just bullshit excuses !!They have literally offered our most vocal fan group the opportunity to be anchor tenants in the brand new 1 tier standing section, what more do you want them to do?
Blah blah blahput way more rail seating in, remove the corporate sections and make tickets affordable. Stop trying to please everyone and make it a proper home end.
Just fucking do it #1894Totally with you on this. Those “red lines” were a stupid move. I don’t blame 1894 for the lack of atmosphere at all, not one bit. But if they do consider themselves to be a group dedicated to atmosphere I believe they should be shouting from the rooftops about this new stand and trying to harangue the club and the wider fanbase into some kind of action.
So insightful. Seems like you accept or agree with pretty much everything the club doBlah blah blah
I have been going to matches for almost sixty years. I go to every home match and most aways. You don’t go any more but “someone gave you a ticket. “ I’ll settle for remaining a happy clapper. I’m sorry that watching City makes you miserable. But you don’t have to be a City fan. It’s a free country.If you’ve been a match going city fan for more than 18 years you’d know that the match itself contributes very little towards the ‘matchday experience’.
You can post your little happy clappy, ‘club can’t do no wrong’, pointless posts all you like - but I’m not alone in how I feel.
Agreed. I've never once blamed 1894 for any lack of atmosphere, and have nothing but praise for all those blokes that sing their hearts out each week.Totally with you on this. Those “red lines” were a stupid move. I don’t blame 1894 for the lack of atmosphere at all, not one bit. But if they do consider themselves to be a group dedicated to atmosphere I believe they should be shouting from the rooftops about this new stand and trying to harangue the club and the wider fanbase into some kind of action.
So it's ok to serve half a pint and charge fans for a pint? Sorry for moaning, we will just take the shit service. MoronWe must have the biggest fucking moaners in football history !! Get a fucking grip !
3000 rail seats ! To start with ! Fucking hell if the city fans showed some passion about making it a 'home end' we would have more....no ?So insightful. Seems like you accept or agree with pretty much everything the club do
Do you disagree with affordable tickets? a bigger standing section? or less corporate areas?
Pretty reasonable suggestions for a home end aren’t they?
Yes. All these posts from people who despise the club and have stopped going to matches. Yet they still come on here wallowing in their misery like scousers.We must have the biggest fucking moaners in football history !! Get a fucking grip !
God help him if we were shit like we have been in the past !I have been going to matches for almost sixty years. I go to every home match and most aways. You don’t go any more but “someone gave you a ticket. “ I’ll settle for remaining a happy clapper. I’m sorry that watching City makes you miserable. But you don’t have to be a City fan.
