Atmosphere tonight

What's happened to all my old mates from the Kippax choir from '66-72?

Perhaps they can be persuaded to come if they are allowed to bring their zimmer frames in?

I was in the top tier at Wembley in 2011 for the semi-final and we were 1-0 up with just a few minutes to go. There were hundreds sat there in complete silence and even telling others to sit down. That's why we'll never get a decent atmosphere.

If ever we get drums I assume we will start playing haircut 100 after goals are scored.

Not a shot at you, but this a major problem with our fans we're not open to new ideas. Drums if used correctly, not like Wigan, can really help the atmosphere.

It doesn't even need to be drums, just stuff that we can somewhat improve the atmosphere.

I think people are open to new ideas. Just not shit ideas.

This is the problem, anyone who doesn't tug the party line is shouted down. Can't have drums because some teams do it and it's shit... Can't have flags because someone might have their view obscured for a second or two...

Like I said in my earlier post; we can have a one game trial for this. The majority don't link it, well we don't do it. But we can't just so easily rule out new ideas.

The ban on alcohol at chumps league does not help, a couple of pints gets people going.

You do know that they sell beer in the pubs outside . So no excuse you can get your couple or more pints, beer is shite at the stadium anyway.

Heineken has been good this year! Very impressive

You have very low standards, granted I'm currently drinking industrial scale Stella but still you have low standards.

We'll never get anything from the club, such as singing blocks, safe standing, basically everything you've ever wanted/think would improve the atmosphere at city whilst you continue just posting about it.

Actions speak louder than words.

If that was aimed at me, There's no way to get meaningful contact through the club when you're 15. I don't really see City making an effort with the teenage age bracket.

I was in the bottom tier behind the goal Colin and had never heard noise like it.

Lower the prices, get the people who have been priced out back in, encourage a proper singing area and not just a standing area, tell those showsec muppets to leave people alone and we'd see a vast improvement.

I thought the east stand corner held there own tonight at times; cant say i heard the southstand once though

This , though east stand corner were hardly vociferous... SS were pathetic... sorry ..

General point....

Supporter = get vocally behind the team throughout the game... the French call it 'assister' ... a good word that reflects the role that supporters can play in a match

Spectator= those who pay for the ticket with no intention of involving themselves...


We have way too many of the latter group .... that we may not be able to regulate too much... in my East level one. we still have hoards of the thermos and biccies pensioner brigade... no point in trying to rouse them

All over the stadium now are 'tourists' ... welcome . I'm sure of course they are not as emotionally involved, nor are they likely to know any of our songs(we'll get back to them)

So these are our 'spectators'

Who are our 'Supporters'....... who 'assists' ????

The whole home contingent should be capable of this but, after decades of supporting City , this is the one regret I have about leaving Maine Road

I have realised that this will not always happen
So who can we count on to lead the Support ????

The two key groups as we know, are east stand corner and SS....

last night was pathetic...

Are we spoilt now? Are we all gonna stay silent until the play/scoreline swings our way?????

I will never forget a few years ago, when we played Chelski in the FA Youth Cup Final.at the COMS.. City went one down ...

the crowd got right behind our lads... and they won 3-1

Talking to one of the players after that game, he noted that the reaction of the crowd was a big factor in galvanising their comeback

This week, both Kolorov and legend Shaun Goater have noted that the players do get inspired by the 'atmos'

We need to raise our game as supporters

Last night was not short of embarrasing

Must agree with your point about the East stand corner and South Stand last night.
