Ah, that's the kind of "support" he meant then.

Let me just make things clear, gazC. I welcome younger fans to city. More than that, I think the club should do everything in their power to actively encourage young fans to the stadium. We have lost a generation to man utd and the future of the club depends on winning these kids back.

My problem is not young fans at all. My problem is with half a dozen geeks who think that dressing up like a sky blue Noddy, dancing around like a Morris dancer on ecstasy and harmonising in E minor with the rest of the block represents appropriate 'support'.

Options on this 'movement' (PMSL) were canvassed on here and I'm giving mine.

Is there really a need to type stuff like that about young City fans? Abuse like that isn't necessary to get your point across surely?

well if they want to be told what a great idea this is, they should go and ask Hugh Ferris or Garry Cook.

This is a forum and some things can only be said in one way.

I look forward to the new era this represents the dawning of. The spirit of the Maine road family stand is alive and well and taking over the Etihad this winter. The Citizens Movement is here. The future has arrived.

The revolution will not be televised, but it will have a tuba accompaniment and wear a pair of clown shoes and a half and half scarf.

Instead of constant criticism why don't you come up with some ideas of your own then?

The atmosphere at home is appalling and has been for years apart from odd high profile games..

This portrayal of those who want to create abetter atmosphere as trying to create some kind of pantomime show just really dont get it.

Nothing i saw from the dortmund fans was cabaret all i saw was a set of fervent fans determined to get behind and support their team.

So we should hold up the likes of Villa, the rags and Chelsea as a beacon of football support!? Ha thats a joke if ever ive heard one. The swamp is the most sterile, soulless ground ive ever had the misfortune to attend, and stamford bridge, well, they wouldnt know an atmosphere if it hit them.

This is a great initiative but their are many hurdles to overcome, not least the narrow mindedness of a portion of our support. That said i doubt anyone would moan if we could generate an atmosphere on the lines ofdortmund, posnan and aris.

This cultural thing is a misnomer, we can generate the same level of passion and support it just needs the will and like minded fans to get together.

Its not for everyone, fine, we are an inclusive club but dont knock fellow blues for simply wanting to create more atmosphere.

Given the Fact we are in our best ever home run, is the atmosphere that important?

To me? yes. (clearly for some others too)

I do recall the players lamenting the death of the Poznan.

Or was that just my imagination?

I have actually. I've emailed the
Club and talked personally to one of our directors about it.

There's only one answer. Move the away fans to the other side of the south stand. That's the only thing that will help. Until that's done nothing will change no matter how many trumpets are parping 'we're not really here' at the front of the stand.
