Stand leaders

[1.618034]

if they hadn't priced out the fans who actually create a atmosphere in favour of those who just come to witness it for a day out there wouldn't be a problem

Although this post cuts to the real problem.

And why something new has to be tried. And why the creation of the new cheaper 3rd tiers can't come soon enough.

But again let's be thankful that our club are at least trying... It's not their fault that we've got to make a substantial profit from the match-going fans to meet FFFFPFR! It's the Fing rules!

its a smoke screen to hide behind to use as a excuse for banging up the costs this would have happened with or without ffp

FFP isn't a smokescreen, it's a set of bellows.

My point is that I don't blame our club. For me they're doing the most of any club to keep prices within some sort of reason for those that can't afford the top prices. If it wasn't for the £299 value card I wouldn't be going this season.

But it's a pipe dream to expect the costs of watching football to reduce anytime soon for the majority, so hence to get some atmosphere going then we might just need some nominated stand leaders to get some more atmosphere going amongst the audience. If it doesn't work then fine, they can try something else.

FFP won't cause price hikes or kill the atmosphere at many clubs (like the Germans), so it doesn't have to here. Non-corporate/VIP matchday revenue doesn't make a huge difference anyway.

Justifying price hikes with FFP just gives the clubs ammo, IMO.

I must be boring you lot and the watchers from City to death with this, but fill blocks 115 and half of 114 with City fans who want to sing and support the team throughout the match, and watch the atmosphere improve at the Etihad over night.

It's obvious that I'm not a photoshop whizz kid, but you get the idea.

If the club don't fill those 750 seats with fans who want to stand, sing, and support the team, they will fill them with fans who will sit and watch the team.

The clock is ticking.

have a heart lads, I did my singing in the late sixties early seventies, what if I forget to use my poligrip, whos' going to get me me a new pair of gnashers

 

[jrb]

Some fans suggested it, so the club decided to try it.

In essence you can't blame the club, as they've asked the fans and listened to them.

Update.

We'll get Jamie Oliver to serve aperitifs at halve time :-)

Fancy having such a thing the day after a European away game. Many of those who could create an atmosphere will still be in Germany or on the way back.
Quite clearly a sign that the 'football club' do not run these things but the 'plc' do as they are clearly not in touch with the fans.

They asked the fans (fans of who is questionable, if there hasn't already been rags enrolled on City Voice I would be amazed). Some of them have said they would like this. How many suggested this? Who are they and what is their connection to the club? Some also said they would like music after goals, should we try that for a while?

Unless they confirm identities of members of City Voice, I don't want them to be the voice of the supporters. Anyone can be a member and have a say in how my match experience is. And I bet if that survey asked fans who wanted cheerleaders and who didn't the latter would have got many more votes. Are they listening to them?

I registered as a member, but did not vote for any of those apart from showing Blue Moon at night matches. I speak for me though, not for any other supporters and have only posted once on the Forum thing because it is not friendly like our beloved Blue Moon forum. As for music after goals that was a definite no no from me.

Give it a fucking try and hopefully it'll work, worried it will now fail because people don't want it to work and have already slagged it off.

Join in and make some fucking noise you miserable bastards

It will work for who?

Not everyone wants to bounce around for 90 minutes. I accept you do and fully support you doing do.

 

[ped]

wish EVERYBODY would just fuck off and leave things,to pan out naturaly,i don't know what the problem is,the atmosphere at city is as good as ,if not better than most.if we put in a good winning performance against arsenal ,the ground will be rocking,dont need stand leaders,or shitty inflatebles,

 

[Blue Note]

We just need to get all the singers in one stand and allow standing. Atmosphere will improve 100x.

Surely people bring this up at those meetings?

 

[TheMightyQuinn]

I like the idea of being told I can't stand, smoke, talk or drink but they also want me to create an atmosphere.

Treated like a child by stewards yet expected to be happy just to be near the hallowed turf.

Won't wash on me, they can shove their middle class southern shite up their arse, I'll be in the toilet having a spliff and not wearing a half n half scarf. I'm not a rebel, I'm just not a bitch.

Not necessarily this particular idea but people aren't open to change, scared of trying new things incase they embarras themselves etc, just give it a try, if it doesn't work it's not the end of the world. We don't have the worst atmosphere but it certainly could be better at times.

I'm open to trying new ideas to improve it, IMO more should be.

Why should I give it a try? I know what its like to sing, I know what its like not to sing. Over time I've found out what suits me and no knobhead in a team leader hat is going to teach me how to act at rhetorically match because I already know.

I'm happy with the game day atmosphere around me. Some might find it quiet but thats their problem not mine.

The minority of supporters are pushing the club to make changes the majority just arent interested in.

Okay moomba

 

[chesterbells]

how about they turn off the speakers and the shit they pump out and let the crowd sing before a game

then they might just carry on a bit more than when they've been drowned out to start with

and let them celebrate where appropriate by singing at the end instead of again pumping out the muzak

even in our most recent long awaited finest hour :-0

don't play blue moon, turn off that load mouthed twat telling us what team we're there to support....i think we all know who it is when they come out

if you are serious about the atmosphere improving then shut the fuck up and let us do our job ffs

Spot fuckin on.

This post 100% for me. It seems like they're afraid of leaving a single second of pa silence right up to the whistle. It's why there's barely any point getting to your seat before 2.58pm.
