I'll probably get slated for this going off how this forum is nowadays, we aren't allowed to say negative things about the club because we have won 2 trophies but i'll say it anyway.
This season in particular i've thought quite a bit about it and i've come to the conclusion that I definitely don't have as much passion for City as I used to. I remember my dad taking me to Maine Road when I was younger (in the last 5 or 6 years before we moved to the Etihad) and I used to get so excited when I got close and could hear the crowd getting louder and louder as we got closer to the ground and it was so exhilarating when you actually walked in and saw the pitch.
Now when I go to matches it all feels so boring and flat, the club has really pushed the family side of it to get bigger crowds and it has totally destroyed the atmosphere. It feels like I am sat there watching an event rather than a football match. They should forget about all this family stuff with entertainment and get the junior blues going again, that's what kept our crowds up when we were down in Division 1 and 2.
I really resent paying £40-£45 to go and watch us play teams like West Brom when the team really doesn't care about the fans in any way shape or form. I just don't feel connected to the players in any way anymore, they are on a completely different planet to us as fans. Can you imagine us ever having a player like Paul Dickov, Shaun Goater or Uwe Rosler ever again? The kind of players that are now City fans, have kids who are City fans and who come back to the club at any opportunity to watch us play? I can't.
