Etihad Atmosphere - 2022/23

[Charlesfarsbar]

Its 90 minutes that's all 90 bloody minutes, I love our fans but today was the worst of early leaves I have seen for some time.
I dont get it.

You’re joking right

i left on the final whistle and if I hadn’t put my foot down on the way home I might of missed the start of call the midwife

very close call

It was at least 10-15000 too before the final whistle. It’s really a sight for sore eyes and particularly today like you say.

The atmosphere was good. SS3 were particularly loud today.

It was a really good atmosphere until 2nd half when Pep decided to conserve energy with the week ahead in mind. Was fucking shocking after that than and we deserve the shit we’ll get for the half empty ground by the end by the final whistle.

 

[give it to gordon]

Think I see leaving early different to the people who leave early lol

For us it's a six hour drive back so an extra half hour getting out at full time basically makes no difference.
We spend 12 hrs travelling we arent going to miss a minute !

I don’t wear it as a badge of honour ,I go to watch a game and it’s 90 + minutes long. Hope you didn’t fuck off early in 2012 . Anything can happen in a split second and I just can’t understand it

No, if the game drawing or 1 behind we tend to stay (It’s not really happened too much, Fulham is the obvious one but we where lucky enough to be in the Tunnel Club for that one, so was staying around anyway). Stayed for Everton and Brentford (although that one didn’t go well) and just accepted the traffic.

Without wishing to paint myself in a worse picture, missed 2012 as was in Cancun (friends wedding and somethings a more important) so missed it. We have our own memories of that day and I loved it (although being there would have been special).

But yes, A Villa 3-1 up (if anything that changes the result happens, I’m ok with missing it).

If we score an absolute worldie then that is our risk, but TBH we tend to be playing the game out.

Anyway each to their own and have a safe journey back!!

Have to agree to disagree boss....

Today of all days we needed a show of loyal support.....

Villa fans chanting your support is fucking shit.......I was not impressed at the early leavers today and usually I'm not arsed

Villa fans cannot say anyone’s support is fucking shit

When I was a lad back in the early 60s, it was common to see hundreds leaving the Kippax with 15 to 20 minutes left.

The exit gates would be opened and there'd already be blokes in the the tunnels waiting to go.

They were of course replaced by the dozens of us kids waiting to get in for nowt to see the end of the game if we didn't have enough money to get in.

60 years later and all that's changed is that, thanks to 'progress' and stewards, there's no bugger waiting outside to get in for nowt any more.

Also it was relatively cheap.i was in the Kippax paying just 50 pence.. not even close to today's prices relatively speaking. Just amazes me. We should have stopped thise walking pas to get out early today, sort of lack of respect for the club

Just read that an absolute fair play to you.

Do you go all the time or just to the odd game?
