Etihad Atmosphere - 2021/22

[urban genie]

You’re not really here?

We get classed as on season cards and stadium plan as 119, but we have an entrance with 120 over the it and the regulars know who we are 120 n proud :-)

The invisible fans

Let’s be honest, early leavers are mostly selfish with no regard for the bigger picture when it comes to atmosphere.

I say mostly as there will always be a few cases of people who have to travel back to the other end of the country or to their daughters birthday party but for the most part it’s a choice and it has infected us like a virus in terms of atmosphere and general attitude towards not turning up, turning up late, going to the bar early etc.

Age old argument though, it’ll never change as they’ll never be told what to do, free country etc as they always say when people complain about it.

The banter between South and Kippax yesterday was a laugh............."Who the fuckin hell are you?"

Watford calling our support shit when they filled the lower tier only and about 4 in the 2nd ....funny.
There is no rivalry with them either so no motivation and cruising the match doesnt help......think many are nervous about us slipping up too.

It emptied fast yesterday and lots of no shows. People were leaving in every single part of the stadium.

As I've previously said it has been going on years even at Maine Road in the 70's not just since the 90's and will never ever stop but it seems to be getting worse not better.

The phone ticket thing is a joke...bring back cards
Sort out the transport system.
Took me an hour to travel 5 miles yesterday...Ashton New Road is a car park up to the Snipe.

I have left early once since moving to the new stadium and it made a huge difference.

The so called phone ticket thing has been a success for me.
What has that got to do with atmosphere.

It is what it is. I always enjoy going to the game, sometimes I sing, sometimes I’m a bit quieter. Don’t really care much whether it’s a good or flat atmosphere, nor what others think about us.

Better public transport would help so more can have a few pints, that always improves the loudness of our support I find. Until that is done we’re stuck with what we have.

I must admit 5-1 up or not 90% of the north stand empty with 8-9 mins to go on a 3pm KO when we are fighting to retain our title is quite sad imho, players must think it is shit, I would.

I will admit I cannot see what the colin bell looks like from my spot, but it also looks like it equally empties

You do everything in life exactly to the law and the letter do you? Perhaps North Korea is more for you.

The Etihad is in a big city so will always be hard to get away from, its something I except.

Grounds like Norwich, Brighton we have found easy to get away from. I think most grounds are difficult to get away from

I dont like to see people leaving early as I think the players and owners deserve better

I will give you one example yesterday as to why people were leaving early,that wind ! It was freezing during second half and most like me were dressed for a nice spring afternoon,but Christ it was cold

Take those words to the letter if you want mate, but you know what I’m getting at. They don’t want to listen to reasons why it’s just shit behaviour for a fan base. Absolutely dreadful the scenes like that yesterday. Probably 30,000 had left with over 5 minutes playing time remaining.
