Today's atmosphere - very raggish????

I think it's a mixture of things but It depends on the club IMO. One thing for sure is that goals themselves have lost value. Before you would go nuts when we scored because they could mean a lot more and 3 points was a huge gain.

It's also we are now conditioned to a higher expectation and quality of football. Now when we are up 3-1 it's an enjoyable experience and you can sit back and relax. Before all our emotions were all over the place and in a way a tad bipolar. Now that feeling is really around on the 'big' games.

The way the club can try and help find a solution is clearly letting friends and active fans sit next to each other. If there could ever be the chance for a safe standing section then it would definitely improve atmosphere but that's out of the clubs control.

At times I do miss that level of intensity when City play but I wouldn't change a thing. The amount of stress and anxiety following the blues before was ridiculous. Its a trade of really, but watching clubs like Bayern come to Eastlands is far more exciting then Burnley for me.

Happy days.

I get stressed and anxious at away games this season, that has not been a good experience

the only way that atmosphere can ever come back consistently is through standing

i think they've proved it can be done safely, what they are probably debating is how that would fit with the 'product' sky market

been saying it for a while now that we are slowly turning the way of them twats, all gloryhunters flocking in affecting the atmosphere and the more successful we become the worse it will get

Yes,but it is down to the fans to create a atmosphere.back when we were shit and had nothing to get the crowd going we did it ourselves.big flags in the kip pax, were city were barmy were off our f@cking heads, all this created a great atmosphere.
Don't wait for the club to do something.dont wait for the guy next to u to do something.dont turn up at the game 10 mins late, don't leave 15 mins early.stand up and sing.join in with EVERY song you hear.please don't moan about atmosphere if u just wanna stand there and moan-get sky
In the 90's we had nothing to sing about, but that is when I fell in love with supporting city and being a fan.granted, we had standing back then, but so what,its gone.doesn't mean the songs have to.it takes balls to stand up and start a song-what if no one else joins in, what if I get looked at in a strange way?
So what.create a atmosphere to be proud of.people may be pissed off with u, but eventually if u persevere they will join you.
Let's make this clubs supporters the best in the land- to match our team.
LOUD AND PROUD
