Etihad Atmosphere - 2021/22

[M18CTID]

don’t think I agree with at. Just seems like a list of excuses. You do not see the level of early leavers we have at other grounds. A lot of those fans at Liverpool for example don’t live anywhere near their ground either - you don’t see as many leaving there.

a lot of the people you describe must have lots of money to waste to justify paying for tickets and missing so much football. Seems like lots of them aren’t that bothered about the match and go out of habit.

I keep hearing how we’ve always had early leavers. When we were going for the league under Mancini or trying to get a champions league spot it was no where near as bad.

While I agree that we have too many early leavers, I think people are missing the point regarding Liverpool and United fans who live miles away. Many of those fans will be stopping over the night so they’re actually less likely to leave early than a local fan. And for those who aren’t staying over, many of them will be on coaches from here, there, and everywhere (United in particular have shit loads of coaches coming from one end of the country or another), and those coaches ain’t going anywhere until every fucker is on them so there’s no point in those fans bailing out early.

Just looking at the crowd at Chelsea v West Ham,
Any thoughts for a local match on a Sunday?
Are tickets for sale

Absolutely agree with you. The match day tickets are a joke.

The point I was making was that the vast majority near me in SS3 are season tickets holders, have been going for years, and have not been priced out. They still choose not to support the team, unless we are 3 up. I really don’t know why.

Moving forward, One big end at the North Stand with tickets £20 each would do so much for the atmosphere.

I looked at the block with the most tickets for sale for Brighton, it was 318 with 108 at 5pm, and 5.01pm it was 38. People get the cheaper tickets and a lot won't turn up.

It's not a normal crowd though. They are unable to sell tickets to home fans, so it's just season ticket holders allowed in and away fans

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.

Like someone said earlier, to me it's just a lack of passion for the club. Their time at home or at the pub is more important than cheering the team off. There seems a definite lack of emotional connection with this team, not sure why because they're a wonderful group of professionals. The owners must be shaking their heads yesterday wondering what more they could do to please the fans. I know Newcastle and Everton fans would be loving these successful times.
