Etihad Atmosphere - 2021/22

[Tim of the Oak]

I noticed coming out if the ground last night after applauding the lads off that there were loads of families still about outside the ground.it seemed a bit like the weekend early rounds of the cup when some peole who usually struggle to go tickets are happy to be at the game.

Atmosphere was OK last night, but so many left early I doubt if 50% were still in the ground at full time.
If that is primarily down to transport issues then the club needs to demand better from the transport providers and tell us who they've approached.

It’s embarrassing that this is even a topic. If I lived near Manchester I would be going to every match cheering at top of my lungs even if I had to skip a meal a day to afford it. Seems like there are some spoiled fans these days.

If you lived near Manchester you would realise there is a lot more to do in life than skipping a meal to afford watching 22 millionaires kick a football around.

Say what you like but other clubs have similar issues. Truth is, for whatever reason there is a fair percentage of City fans that are just not passionate and no number of trophies or brilliant performances will change that.

So you would rather go back to watching a Championship side then? What do you think is the issue?

There is no issue. 53,000 of us were there supporting City last night.

No i'd rather just watch the game and not scream and shout. I'd also rather eat a Sausage and Mash microwave meal and listen to the game on GMR.

Unfortunately I left around 85’ as I’m in the office today. I don’t mind evening matches on a Monday or Tuesday as I WFH the following day, but I’m up early on a Thursday. If I leave at full time it can be difficult getting a cab. Leaving 5 minutes before means I was able to get a cab and be home for 22:30.

If the tram worked I’d get that. Unfortunately the few times I’ve tried a tram in the evening I get home at 23:30 or later.

Bizarre take on what he said. People for all sorts of reasons don't go. Maybe they have kids to feed, or should we let them starve as well so someone can go to the game? Maybe they have work commitments like i know the lad i go with had last night, or maybe they just don't want to go. It's no embarrassing and actually if you were there last night you'd know it wasn't that bad at all.
