City Fans Leaving Early/Empty seats

Fans that treat football matches and supporting the club as a form of "social gathering" or "chit chat" are annoying.

Don't come to the football if you're just treating it as a "day out" while stuffing your gob on the concourse, go somehwere else like the cinema so that spare ticket goes to someone who actually cares about the football.

This phenomenon seems to be mostly common in this country, match-day goers who attend out of habit or routine rather than for the reason of actually watching football.


But that's what football is now mate, even back in the day people drank gallons and stuffed their faces with hot dogs and canned beefburgers and scabby sausages.

The crowd is a mixture of sit down shut uppers, tourists a sprinkling of die hards, the club have created an area of beer spots and food kiosks and fans use them.

I know we as forum members are a small highly interested sub-set of football lovers, I assume most here love the beautiful game and have either played it themselves when they were younger or still do, however surely there has to be more people who go to games for the game itself? It can't just be us who complain about this situation?

I look over to Spain or France or Italy and the match-day goers there are obsessed, so many of them are devoid of the non-chalant attitude shown by match-going fans in England.
 
We drive from and back to North Leeds for every home game. We always manage to stay until the final whistle. The last game I left early was Gillingham in 99. And I was back in the tunnel for the equaliser.

You don’t know what you might miss in those final minutes.

The less local and partisan the crowd becomes the more the crowd will be there for the day out and experience with football being just a part of that.

For us that's unspeakable but to many attending the games City are only on their agenda because we are the best at the minute, when that changes the younger fans wont be interested IMHO and football will just be a day out if the weather is good.

Although it's like that in loads of grounds - we have a huge number of the above... I'm not sure why - all clubs have increased their match going attendances - Brentford 1987 to 1999 average just 8,500 now it's double that so they have 'acquired' a whole new fan base on top of their average - same as us, but our numbers are on a much larger scale, BUT the problem our new fan base are just really passive - shame really. Against Arsenal, aside from when we were winning..you could hear a pin drop from us lot tbh
 
TBH I don’t think the club are bothered about 1000’s of fans missing the start of each half and staying on the concourse drinking and buying more beer instead of getting back to their seats and supporting the team.
 
Why is anyone arsed about wot other fans do? Just chill and mind your own business unless someone is blocking your view or mithering you leave em to it, I'm there to watch city coz I luv em, most of the time i stay til the end but sometimes I have to leave early for work or if the kids have school, nobody knows people's circumstances, just get behind em while you r there, CTID
 
I finished 3rd in the half time quiz, was chuffed if I'm honest. Prize was a complete disappointment but hey ho!!
Well done, I did wonder if it was the blue moon bod.

What have we become though, 'Go City Whooo' from some wrestling guy, a discount code to shift tickets and a green quiz at a football match!!!!
