Its never mattered who is in charge of the team and what players we have got on the pitch because the reality is that most of us have not been around long enough to see city win anything. I remember not so long ago being classed as the best supporters in the world, 30,000 every week at maine road to watch Terry Cooke. But over the past few years our support has changed. Yes the atmosphere at COMS isnt the same as Maine Rd but we have to change that, its nothing to do with design. Booing a team at half time if we are drawing against a bottom 3 side or not roaring when the teams are announced is beyond me. We have 90 minutes 20 or so times a year to go to our mecca and express ourselves. And we should be expressing ourselves in the right way. Things are not going as we hoped for but money has heightened expectation and regardless of the money, we all know we should be doing better than we are. But we are a club and we have as big a role in the success to play as anyone else. We will take the wins but we also must accept when we want some passion and fight on the pitch, we must show it in the stands. F*** the stewards 45,000 of us stand up and sing our hearts out! Everyone knows your not happy when you lose, why boo? We've got a quality stadium, quality owners and we are going to bring in better quality players. Unfortunately the quality of the fans is going in the other direction and it embarrases me. If we are gonna bother to pay the money to go then make something of it! I am tempted to print 40,000 copies of city songs on a hymn sheet and turn up first thing in the morning and put em on every seat cuz im convinced we have forgotten the words to our anthems. Hate to say it but we are turning into a bunch of rags and we need to change that! Am i alone or can we turn out any prove we are still the best?

Going a bit far with the Rag bit there but I totally agree we're just not there. The fans of the invisible man are becoming invisible and silent.
I remember a Fulham game last season or the season before (away). We won and we were all singing - even my dad and thats saying something.
We should take a leaf out of Liverpool's book. Have you seen the footage of the lock in at the rags? All still bouncing and singing, thats what we need more of!

I'll be singing and bouncing when I've got something to sing and bounce to.PBLZ129 said:Going a bit far with the Rag bit there but I totally agree we're just not there. The fans of the invisible man are becoming invisible and silent.

Yeah i take your point there...it's easy for Liverpool to do that with the players they have and the performances they turn out week in week out. No doubt it would help us though.
I debated whether to put the rag bit to be honest, but i was hoping it would have the shock appeal that would kick people to want to change the direction things are going. If only we could take the Mary D's atmosphere from derby days into every game at COMS and teams would hate coming to play against us and players would want to come and play for us.
Oh and highlighting that part of my serbian name has rag in it happens every post so get a grip its just a username. If i was a rag why would i slate rags and try and improve things at city?

Objection! Born in Crumpsall. If I lived in Singapore your comment might be a little more worthy. I have been supporting qualitatively for decades and my expectations are not sky high. We do lose, and we seem to lose regulary to inferior opposition. If the performance was anything like yesterday, what idiots would clap at the end of the game. Verbal dissatisfaction is the only thing available to the vast number of disenchanted fans (who no doubt like myself will turn up to the next match). The club don't listen to any genuine point put forward - Thank you for your comments Mr. Ewing, we will be round to read your gas meter as soon as possible - and so we are left with very little with which to 'voice' our opinion. I am preaching to the converted on this forum, we all want the same thing essentially but when the performance on a matchday against a side struggling in the Championship doesn't come up to what I call merchantable quality, we're entitled to a bloody refund.
