Bring the Noise

[Big Joe Corrigan]

You can guarantee that mate. And then that stupid "I said Blue moon" just to kill anything that is getting through.

That really is an awful version.

FFS stop moaning about everything the club does

How do things change for the better if we aren't allowed to criticise what doesn't currently work?, and one of those tings is the clubs insistence on killing any kind of pre match atmosphere with their cheese fest pre match and god awful version of blue moon.

Vuvuzelas, cardboard clappers, drums; if you're there tonight, and see anyone using any of those godawful things, feel free to imagine they're asleep on a train.

Don’t go then. This is the least of our worries. We’ve got to score 4 goals to even think about getting through so a bit of orchestration by the club is understandable

 

[uwerosler28]

Don’t go then

Ha fuck off , i am not going to stop going after 30 years just because the music is too loud pre kick off , prick

Sensible reply at last. I’ve been going home & away for 50 years and a bit of effort by the club doesn’t bother me as much as the constant moaning by fans.

You make a fair point mate, the club is litterally killing the atmosphere.

 

[shed88us]

we always moan about the music in through the PA system - on far too many occasions the club have ''allowed us'' to generate the noise and we haven't.

 

[ridderz]

I loved this getting bumped and reading all of our pre-match chat for THAT game against the scousers back in 2019. What a sliding doors moment - if John Stones doesn't clear that ball off the line, they go unbeaten in the league AND become centurions. Wow!

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

Let's make it a trap. Valverde knows what I'm talking about.

 

[Greenandblue]

Any time the club do turn off the speakers pre-match, there is very little atmosphere building inside, the singers are usually still sucking pints on the concourse. We're better off having a bit of loud Euro-pop and a laser show as far as I'm concerned. Doubly so tonight as much of the "hardcore" aren't bothering.
There's a complete myth that the club playing music is killing an otherwise febrile pre-match buzz...

Agreed. The buzz only starts when the drinkers and singers arrive from the concourse 5 mins before KO

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

Agreed. The buzz only starts when the drinkers and singers arrive from the concourse 5 seconds after KO

Fixed

Sabrina singing "boys boys boys" would get me out of my seat.


Ps but only if she still looks like she did in 1988

5 minutes after kick off. I'm not sure if other fanbases are the same but ours seem to put cramming one more beer down their throats more important than the actual game they've paid to watch.

 

[dooie68]

Do you think we can have another "Hamburg Night"? the place was rocking that night, even after they had scored.

I said it a few weeks ago. Since I moved to Level 1 NS, you notice the South Stand and 110/111 are usually only half-full even when the teams walk out.

Same after halftime.

From minute one tonight, come on city!

I think a lot of City fans at the moment seem to be quite passive in terms of their approach to our football. They're not being entertained and they're not showing any fight or support for the team.

I watched the Arsenal v Everton game at West Ham on Saturday and even late on the stadium was pretty full and they were all getting behind the team. We'd have vast swathes of empty seats and I can tell you now, those Arsenal fans don't have it any easier when it comes to travel home with queues for public transport or long walks to quieter stations, so have the same justification for leaving early that our fans do.

We've always got behind the team, but it feels like some threw in the towel the moment things started to be more difficult on the pitch. I'm sure it will be a good atmosphere tonight, but I'd be stunned if it was anywhere near what it's been when we've had our backs to the wall before.
