Fair play to you doing a 6hr return trip but it’s different priorities for some. I live 20 mins from the ground and left at 90 mins with the game at 3-2. I don’t normally but needed to today and frankly could not give a shit if people think I should have stayed as it’s my choice. It’s always been the way, it’s just at Maine road we didn’t have social media to moan about it...nowadays you have people who don’t even go moaning during the game on Facebook about empty seats and people who leave early!

Stayed until the last kick. It then took me 1hr 5 mins to get the 7 miles home. So kind of get the fan who might need to leave.Fair play to you doing a 6hr return trip but it’s different priorities for some.

The roads round the ground don’t help...couldn’t risk it today, barely any trains either. Joke of a transport system but that won’t change either sadly.Stayed until the last kick. It then took me 1hr 5 mins to get the 7 miles home. So kind of get the fan who might need to leave.

As I got more and more frustrated I was effin and jeffin at their keeper and the ref mainly and the disapproval from the usual collection of Johnny come lately middle class entertainment seeking twats was palpableLike I said , shouted a few expletives in the hope of getting the team going and was pulled up by people near me , could have reacted and told them to do one but couldn’t be arsed and not my style . It’s suppose to be a game of emotion but it’s so sterile it’s fucking pathetic at City now .

Lets forget this Lets build the North Stand as a Mega Home end bullshit. We have tried that with the South Stand and as much as the 1894 Group try to create a atmosphere it simply aint working. The biggest issue for me is that we now have a set of new fans that simply want to just sit and watch a game of football and are more interested in getting away early so that they can get home quicker. It baffles me beyond belief why u would pay so much money and not stay till the end, i know its been said before but how many people go to watch a film at the cinema for a fraction of the price but don't leave before the film has finished. I travel a 6hr return journey for all home games and have done since i started work in the late 80's but can honestly say ive never walked out without applauding the team off the pitch and ive seen some poor performances over them years. im afraid thats just the way football is nowadays and it aint going to change no matter how many times you disrupt fans around the stadium by relocating them to suit others.

We tried that with he south stand ??? Really did we ?? We haven’t really ever tired to create a home end in The south stand. It is nothing like a home end.... it’s a tiny singing section separated by away fans.
A lot of people did stay to the end yesterday and got behind the team in the second half. Relocating fans is worth it if it means we finally have a proper singing end. Disrupt them for a year if it means we have a proper home end! It would be worth it

That future home end singing section should be a swearing section. Then the more genteel fans won't be disturbed.
