Etihad atmosphere

[mancityvstoke]

Yeah, but we've got a glass tunnel

Is that why they came out in the corner instead?

There is obviously some deep rooted reason behind this which has never been addressed, there is quite obviously a huge amount of apathy and disillusionment but nobody really knows why.

Its the same at 99% of the rest of the premier.

It's really not. That's a total myth.

It's bad at 99% of the rest of the league but it's not as bad as us.

Mass exodus on 80 mins with another 5 mins injury time to be added - pathetic.

I really agree with this....yes....ok...ok....tin hat on waiting for the people have to go to work, etc, etc......I cannot believe the numbers have to go to work, or just beat the traffic. Anfield is rubbish to get away from yet I can't recollect the stream the size we have that we have leaving with 80 odd minutes on the clock, it really hacks me off.....and I cannot understand leaving before the end, but then again I am a tight arsed northerner who wants my money's worth........

Twenty years of all seated stadia and increased costs = bye bye passion

Its the "new" City the hierarchy wanted to create, at the expense of a huge number of our hardcore support.

Rubbish. I sit next to the same people I've sat next since we moved there and I see the same faces around me. Once people are in the ground they have no excuse not to sing. You're a supporter, that's your job, shout, swear, get behind the team, whatever you do don't just fuckinh sit there expecting something to happen on the pitch before you respond.

Agreed, would say that Goodison and Selhurst to name two have decent atmospheres most games.

Players and pep didn't seem happy with the fans at all today.

Kolarov shouting at the family 'come on sing!' before a corner was taken, Bravo telling crowd to calm down and KDB and Pep both gesturing to the crowd to make some noise.

I had to smile at de Bruyne doing that when he was shirking out of tackles like a girl in the last 15 mins.

I think the club have created a disconnect with the fan base and there is a lot of apathy now. Our fan base is aging and some have been gong for 60 plus years.

I was talking to a mate at the game and he had a spare for today. Couldn't give it away!

I didn't think the early leavers was as bad today. Much less than usual in SS3

Culture of today: blame anyone but yourself. The club, modern football, pep, the refs.

When are people going to take responsibility? It's us, the fans, that have the problem.

To me it seems that the support have become to accustomed to success and almost expect us to steamroll every opponent 4-0, if we don't there's moaning from the off.

For example all I heard all game today was fans around me slagging Bravo and how much better Joe Hart is/was. Get over it! The decision has been made now and the negativity isn't going to provide anything constructive for the team.

I think back to the season we first won the title under Mancini, I would say the atmosphere was good in most if not all matches, there was a wave of optimism about it all, very rarely were there any empty seats. Now no matter the opposition there will be seats dotted around unfilled with supporters who have just fucked the game
off.

Our fan base needs a big firework up our arses to get us back into gear, we would of died for the success and stature we have today years ago and all we do now is moan and leave on 80 minutes!.
