46 quid v hull city, is not going to attract the kind of supporters that historically make an atmosphere, and nor will a team that is just going through the motions, we used to kill games very quickly, straight onto the front foot, now the first half feels like a rehearsal, for the panic that is the second half.
the onus is on the team and the manager.

Hit the nail on the head. It's lot of money to watch a football game. A lot of our more "traditional" fans are being priced out of the game, which is a shame. But the club don't care; they'll attract the newer fan, who is more than willing to shell out and fill that seat.fathellensbellend said:46 quid v hull city, is not going to attract the kind of supporters that historically make an atmosphere, and nor will a team that is just going through the motions, we used to kill games very quickly, straight onto the front foot, now the first half feels like a rehearsal, for the panic that is the second half.

Yes, I will try much harder in future. The players were really up for it too.
That's why the singing section is going to be important now and the future, with more fans now sitting there wanting to be entertained or the players to do something before opening there mouths! But this slow lethargic play doesn't get you of your seat or singing when there was a quick attack and skill with Aguero just having a heavy touch In the box the crowd started singing! It's a two way thing you know!

There's a number of factors that contribute to the atmosphere. The mood of the fans going into the game, the way the team has been playing, the tempo of the game, the away fans and the importance of the game.
Yesterday, all those factors came together to produce an underwhelming atmosphere. We're nervous about home games suddenly, we've not been playing well, the snail's pace of our play in the first half, a lack of away fans due to the price and the fact we were playing a bottom three team and probably expected to win comfortably.
You could feel it right from the start and usually when there's nothing to shout about on the pitch, it's quiet in the stands. It's always been like that.

The crowd is quiet because they can see what is unfolding on the pitch and it drains the life out of you

That's funny, I'm sure that was him on the pitch at half time presenting the cheque to the Armed Forces!! Maybe you were in the bar?

You can only play the GET BEHIND THE LADS card for so long.
1 win in 6 games, possibly our worst run since the Hughes era (and even then I'm not sure)
The atmosphere is rubbish because the team are playing rubbish.

My two lads and me use to come up 2 or 3 times a season, not alot but a 600mile round trip has something to do with that, but also the price when the lads first started coming up it was a fiver each and twenty quid for me ........ £30 for all three of us ! Now it nearer £100........than theres petrol.
I think football as a whole has a problem with lack of fans and atmosphere to many teams like to park the bus its all about staying in the premiership and sod the entertainment.
Teams have worked out how to play us sit back 10 behind the ball than counter with pace, if there attack breaks down City arent in a rush to get forward so they get 10 back easily. .......its boring..... is it worth playing around £250 for us to watch it ? When we have other bills that need paying
