I won’t lie.
I’m a FOC traditionalist.(like many of your are)
I appreciate times have changed and football has moved on in every aspect. Especially for our younger fans. There you go, I’ve admitted that. And I accept that.
But I really hate these lazer shows, light shows, flame throwers and the general pre-match cheese fest that has crept into the ‘match day experience’ at City.(and across football in general)
This is especially evident before kick off at the CBS main entrance when the players coach arrives. Calling it orchstrtaed and contrived wouldn’t do it justice. It’s just plain cringeworthy and embarrassing.
I get it. The fans outside get a very brief glimpse of the players as they leave the coach and go into the main entrance, as pop music blasts out. Whilst those adults and their kids who can afford it get the chance to be within touching distance of the players inside the stand.
If The kids are happy, and the club is making more money, it must be worth doing, right?
