Wasn’t good tonight in the north but in fairness it isn’t normally. Me and my lad will be moving end of the season it’s a shame most people just don’t want to sing in anyway or get the team going.
Hands up I'm not in the Country most of the Season but I've served my time over the decades. My recent experience of the Family Stand was not great . One issue was that when we were down the other end you had to turn backwards to look at the cameras to see what the hell was going on. Surrounded as I was by youngsters I was surprised at their lack of engagement. No singing,nothing really unless we scored. Part of this was due to our long periods of possession which hypnotised the opposition but tranquilized the crowd.
An observation of the younger fans was that it was a bit like being in a Cinema ,people watching ,munching snacks and generally just watching.....I don't know what the solution is other than the 'embarrasement' at singing might be overcome if adjoining areas were making noise.
I’ve said in the past. I genuinely think the last new City chant we made up was The Best Team In The Land And All The World about twenty years ago.
Not had a new City chant since.
It’s always player or manager chants and they come and go so often you lose them and are left with nothing but the tired old chants.
We need to forget about player and manager chants and get some new City chants!
They can't make people sing, forget the acoustics, forget splitting the south stand up and forget all the other excuses, our atmosphere is shit because people don't sing, that's it in a nutshell...Pep and and many players would enjoy a much louder support. Now Soriano, Txiki and Pep are visionaries and are developing a worldwide operating CFG Group.
I simply have no idea why they are able to forget a fundamental part of the game.
Great home support is also a trigger for players to join such a club. It's an advantage against competitors.
The main mechanisms are no rocket science and well known for decades. Why such a big and visionary club refuses to implement a project team with the clear target to improve MCFC's fanbase and match atmosphere is totally beyond me.

I’ve got one for the Scousers......
Yesterday, all your trophies seem so far away
Now it looks as if they’ve gone away
Oh you believe in yesterday
Suddenly, you’re not half the club you used to be
Droning on about your history
And left behind by Man City
I'm not sure the pricing is that bad, especially for cup games.The football this team plays deserves an atmosphere to match. Sadly the pricing and aging demographic mean this will continue to be a problem for the foreseeable future.
