The Viagogo difference

[Why Always Ste]

oh no another atmosphere thread ;)

Seriously though, have you noticed since this company came on board with City, that we have:

* More empty seats
* More non-regular match attenders

I'm calling this Legal Touting company as being one of if not thee major factor in the Atmosphere becoming poor at Home matches, and one of the major reasons why Away match atmosphere is decent.... Because most of the tickets at away matches will go to fans with a high point tally or who are active members in supporter clubs at least.

Some People buying seasoncards for the sole purpose of selling the seats on Viagogo which is why we sometimes end up seeing a whole empty section of seats during matches.

The club setting aside a set number of tickets for Viagogo to flog and make commission on.

The club have sacrificed Atmosphere in favour of a lucrative deal with this awful company.

* a dedicated section behind the goal for Singing Supporters
* moving the away supporters
* Safe standing section behind the goal where the singing fans can locate to
* Viagogo thrown out with City starting their own Ticket Exchange, with tickets sold to fellow blues at Face Value
* if the Seasoncards not being used are at such a high number of missed games then this should be cancelled.

if these steps don't happen then atmosphere will not improve. City can play as many rock bands before matches, celebrity quiz shows on the stage, crappy 90's pop music, all this cheese won't improve the atmosphere.

3) do not stand near me in block 110/109 if you want to be silent all game

Wrong. They are making noise bud but we can't hear them on the other side in the Kippax Corner because there are away fans between us.

Which is why I'm saying we need the away fans shifting somewhere else, maybe near the Family section, allocating the full end behind the goal to likeminded blues who want to stand and create atmosphere.

it ain't much to ask for, and most of us only want it for the benefit of the club to improve atmosphere.

Have to say thats complete rubbish mate.

Other than southampton (in which they were decent and completely overshown us - because we were pants), You see them all stood up in silence. Whereas (not 111,112 but 110, 109) you get SHOWSHITE pissing everybody off all game saying sit down, and the level of people that actually go to games just do as there told politely. talk about gutless and no passion. From the fans, to the players, to the manager.. to the ''suits doing the business'' - there is no passion.

Away fans in between is no excuse, because that often contributes to the atmosphere.

Think about when teams like wigan and fulham bring 10 fans or we've relocated away fans for europe. its piss poor, even less banter.

Still trying to workout how Viagogo is the difference in the atmosphere in a stadium. No surprise that Atmosphere in most stadiums is shit due to the fact everybody is sat down. Standing sections have not been allowed since those murdering scouse cunts.
