Etihad Atmosphere - 2021/22

Too much negativity. It's been a bit quiet the last couple of games. Those of us there tonight try and do something about it. We have a fantastic team, beautiful football, kids are breaking through to the first team finally and loads of youngsters whose parents weren't blues are wearing City shirts and supporting our club. We have to find a way to get new blood into the ground. The price of a ticket is one thing, probably due to FFP meaning the club are reluctant to subsidise them. It's usually pretty good atmosphere when we play lower league clubs and the prices are low and on open sale. I always take people who aren't regulars.

For me the biggest factor, especially for midweek games, is the sheer difficulty of getting to and from the ground by car or public transport. For those outside the M60 it has become almost impossible at night because of a shit roads system, no late trains back, not enough trams. If you are working full-time or have kids (I am luckily neither) it is a bloody nightmare. Better ticket prices would help but City need to work with the council to improve things. We don't even have a bloody taxi rank near the stadium! Perhaps the new arena will spark some changes.

I might not know the ins and outs but i think anyone can see the atmosphere hasn't changed one bit since you lot came on the scene.
From my perspective (correct me if I'm wrong) is that you haven't discussed much of anything with the club at all, you've presented ideas and been told what you can and can't do. To be honest a bit of pushback wouldn't be such a bad thing, people are likely to let things slide more than you think, it's just a balancing act between that and not getting banned. Might be hard but it can be done imo

I was going to reply in-depth, but you've taken up enough of my time. That aside, the other 1894 lads on here have explained things clearly to you. Hopefully you understand now?

Anyway, good luck in setting up a 'youth City group'. Keep us updated, and let us know how you are getting on with the group and with the club.

In the meantime you're always welcome to join us in 115. We always welcome anyone who wants to join us in trying to improve the atmosphere and supporting the team.

I'll be leaving Leicester about 4pm today, hoping to arrive and gain access to 116 before kick-off. With a good run, in a couple of hours I can be hitting M6 J19 and on the final stretch. The final stretch can take as little as 45 mins at weekends, but mid-week can take anything from 45 mins to a couple of hours, depending on how lucky we are.

After the match, forget getting back to Leicester any time before 1am.

Thanks for listening.
