Etihad Atmosphere - 2022/23

[Brightwell Bros.]

If tickets were more affordable it wouldn’t be an issue, as everyone would be able to go. The prices will keep going up as well

The example above from There is a light’ is showing that proper blues who want tickets are unable to get tickets as well. available to ‘cityzen members, yet there’s loads of people at last nights game who have never been in their life. I don’t think that’s fair. Clearly the club are selling tickets to agencies

Isn't it just as likely that international students are just stumping up for citizens membership? £35 is fuck all to the Chinese middle-class.

The equivalent to our match day membership is £75 at Leeds.

Watch it at home then...fucking hell, get a life

I’d rather watch it in the stadium mate and wanting to not miss a goal does not equate to needing “a life”. I assume you don’t give a fuck about others, yeah?

Must be on a wind up.
What's jerking upwards suddenly after we score ....

Has to be a piss take

It’s the second before we score that’s a problem. This really isn’t hard to comprehend.

A little story.
A few years ago, at the League Cup final against the Arse. There was a lad sat next to me with his dad. Must have been a City fan, at least his dad certainly was. Well, you remember how we played. What was gobsmacking for me was that he barely reacted to any of our goals, or at the final whistle. And here's me, into my sixties by then, sacrificing the dignity that behoves my years and doing my nut.
I believe — but it will take many generations to decide whether my hunch is merely that — that the world as it is experienced is being radically changed — and for ever — especially for young people, by the fact of living so much of it through a screen. This lad was pretty much like a zombie. It was as if he didn't quite realise that this wasn't some computer game that he was watching/playing, but the real thing, unfolding in his living breathing presence.
I've often thought about it. Had a very similar experience a season or so later in the F.A. Cup tie against Burnley at the Etihad, where we played them off the park, if you remember. Lad next to me — might as well have been lobotomised.
I think there's some connection, behaviourally, with being at a really big rock gig and spending most of it with your mobile phone held up to record. As if it will only become real to you when you watch the recorded version back.
I feel genuinely sad for them. We were passionate about so many things. Stupidly so, sometimes. Naively so, probably. But we had it.

And most of them spend their times on their phones instead of watching the match, although there a FOC a few rows in front of me who’s constantly getting his phone out to message people, I mean fuck me its 45 mins were you have to pay attention your life isn’t that important you can’t be off your phone, Shirley?

Was on the way home last night and Elton John came on, can someone more creative than me do something with this?

Erling haaland in place of of I’m still standing? Either the whole chorus or just the “I’m still standing, yeah yeah yeah”/“Erling haaland yeah yeah yeah”

Although I know how bad we are with high notes (oh yeah/awoooo) so maybe an actual chorus…

Cheers, that’s all I’ve got

No I’m not. I posted about a lad jumping up as the ball comes into the box and blocking my view. If you don’t know what I’m talking about you’re another selfish ****. Plenty of you about these days sadly but luckily not where me and my 81 year old dad sit.
