Sky Blue for Madrid at Home?

[jrb]

the huge drop downs are for arsenal buddy, madrid is different.

I thought the sevilla fans looked the best of all stadiums in the quarter final ( ours would have been good but for the 45mph winds ! ) It looked very impressive, all in white, streamers & ticker tape, big flags. Hats off to them, must have given the players a boost.

would love to see lots of fans in sky blue round stadium for madrid game, or even just the family stand do it behind one end.... A lot of fans will like the idea but a big majority wont be to arsed. Last time i saw something good like that was when Middlesbrough payed at wembley and the whole end wore their red shirts.

Oh!

Thought it was for both.

Both will look great.

Great idea, but we can't even get 60% of the attendees to stay until the 80th minute, so little hope of something this far out

That’s OK, when they leave we’ll see blue seats, same effect

Going off most European home games and Madrid ones especially, you’re probably only looking at about 30,000 proper City fans tops.

Sorry, but I wear a dark blue City jumper for every game and its something I have done since 18/19 season , only time I didn't was 2021 CL Final, so due to superstition I can't change

Keep your Jumper, t shirt goes over the top

Just switched over to see the end of the Sevilla v United game and saw every Sevilla fan in white. Think it makes the stadium look dead imposing!

By the time we play Madrid at home (Wednesday 17th May) it’s going to be heading towards Summer so should be warm… so, let’s all get ourselves in sky blue t-shirts/City shirts. Everyone in every seat in sky blue.

I think it would look great and something we’ve not done before at the Etihad (think we did it at Wigan away once when everyone wore Ricky Hatton sky blue t-shirts).

Will help disguise the empty seats too..

That was class at Sevilla, with them all bouncing up and down. Before they started moving I couldn't tell whether there were fans there or not because of them all being in white and me watching on my phone. Everyone in blue, they'll never know how many empty seats there are!

Seem to recall the club giving scarves out at one derby which created a scene. Should be doing something for next weds and the Real Madrid game.

I love this idea, but I don't think our fanbase would buy into it (in enough numbers to make a meaningful difference).

We could always try and push it and see what happens.

Yeah we should definitely try.

Frankfurt fans did it in the Europa League final in Seville last Summer:



and Sevilla fans did it in the same stadium against the Rags last week:



I think it looks dead imposing.

Does anyone have a contact email address for someone at the club? I’ve knocked up a bit of an email I’d like to send with the suggestion for this.

Great idea but….

You won’t see them under the massive drop down banners planned. :-)

And I mean massive.

Save the idea for the final in Instandbul.

The club can sort 20,000+ cheap large blue t-shirt for that. Place them in-front of the seat.

The fat b@stards will have to hold their large t-shirts up instead. :-)

Everyone should wear them all game mate. Don’t just wear them for the few minutes before kick off. Give the whole stadium the whole game a feeling of sky blue everywhere.
