That has always been the case for us and all English clubs. Throughout the 80s, apart from a few big matches, the atmosphere at Maine Road was totally dire. Much much worse than these days at the Etihad, no matter what some people claim. But our away support was mostly fantastic. We travelled in huge numbers and were very loud everywhere. We had the best away support in the country. Even now I think our current away support is still amongst the best.
The atmosphere at all Premier League grounds (apart from the big matches) is really poor. I think it is a symptom of the times. I watched the MLS Cup Final on TV last night. The fans at Portland generated a cacophony of noise. They were raucous and drinking in their seats and never stopped singing...even though their team were crap until the 94th minute. People here in the UK seem to have lost their spirit in recent years...but it's not just about football.

The singing section didn't get up for it for the last 2 games which is a disappointment. Someone has to start the singing on these kind of games. Early starts against lesser opposition is always a subdued atmosphere. Around me we join in with "best team in all the world " and "singing the blues" and others if they are the song of the moment, Yaya, fell on his f-ing arse, Bernardo, Ballotelli, he's top of the league etc., but there doesn't seem to be one this year. Even leaving the ground people were quiet yesterday. Just read a report that said 40% of people with tickets are not turning up to gigs at the moment. Old guy next to me hasn't been for a while now, hope he's OK. Is it Covid or the worry? I think it will be different against Leeds, but let's see.

Wasn’t quiet along the fence where Wolves were gobbing off outside after the game

Yep I waited in Piccadilly for a tram for 30 mins if that was aimed at me. But having done a couple of seasons without missing a weekend game whilst flying in from Amsterdam every time I feel a little entitled to complain about the shit infrastructure of M/cr. As a city it is light years behind alot of European cities. But hey ho that's what the Metrolink thread is there for highlighting.

Take a look at Leicester today geordies really slating their support. Leicester support was very poor but so is most home support across the league we are not on our own. Astra proving to be zero effective against omicron, means boosters going to be key and still not enough data out there. A lot of fans still concerned about going back the stadium. The final point is that for me personally just don’t find us as exciting anymore. Yes we are a very very good team, but for me we do not have the buzz of the Leroy team. We used to attack at pace against teams. That also impacts atmosphere.

Wolves yesterday got me thinking because they sang loud and took the pee...!
back in the 80s's we use to sing 'city aggro' and very early 80's 'your going home in a st johns ambulance'!
we sang them chants immediately in response to some away fan chant.
Now. every away team sings....'your support is fuc*ing shit' and 'is this a library'!! Despite at times when our atmosphere is bouncing. Wolves sang them yesterday at high volume, we had little retort. we have no retort!
I think .. 'your support is fuc*ing shit' and 'is this a library'....are the worse songs ever? Yet some or us (not me) will sing it at newcastle, arsenal and wolves when we play!! cringe in my opinion and double standards.
Lets stop singing them songs wen we go away!
And Lets get an immediate retort ....for me, when leeds sing it on Tuesday....as a starter for 10, we should immediately sing .....
' where were u at YORK away'.....or something else!
we need a immediate response

We can’t play like that now teams completely camp inside their own half. Our team is full of magicians, I wouldn’t say we are boring. If people don’t find us exciting, the premier league leaders who are out playing any big team that comes against us, then as a fan base we’re fucked.
