Not sure about any other blues but I find the 'intro' to our matches very cringe worthy. Do it the first time, no prob. But every fu**ing home match. We know what it is, a lot of blues have been moved to or opted to go to the, wait for it..Newly Expanded Etihad Stadium. As as for the embarrassing ' shall we compare the different sections chanting qualities' before the ko, its just mind numbingly stupid.
All it does is send the travelling fans home with tales of the weird stuff that happens at City. I would imagine (but honest don't know) that that type of guff goes on at a 1D concert.

We do it for you (some weeks).
 
I got bored of hearing it since around the Bournemouth/Newcastle game. Say it on the first game but drop it after that. At what point does it stop being new?
 
And the cringeworthy my blocks noise against your blocks noise before the start of the game.
 
Fucking embarrassing that comparing blocks' noise business, especially when all you could hear were Southampton outsinging all our fans put together hahahaha.

The club need to address the atmosphere in our ground and very quickly. On the pitch we are growing year on year but off it, we are going backwards and will soon be left without a soul. In my opinion, things starting going downhill when they designated the North Stand as the Family Stand only back in about 2010 - lots of quieter fans moved from there into more 'hardcore' parts of the ground like South Stand or 111.

Even used to be banter between South and North Stand to-ing and fro-ing chants, unheard of now. Any people who sang in the North Stand were shipped out to seek a new identity in what already was a new stadium. Whoever sanctioned this move at the club has a lot to answer for. Yes, the South Stand expansion has improved noise down that end, but the overall atmosphere in our ground is dire - we get outsung by about 80% of away clubs in my honest opinion, even worse when the likes of Palace bring just over 1000 with them and embarrass us vocally for 90 mins.
 
Nothing is worse than the pre-match chant off, like today. "That is how you do it! Beat that!" Fuck off.
 
Was total cringeworthy (as usual)

Nothing against Danny Jackson, he does a great job but the announcement made before the match wanted us in 5min before K.O
To announce that shit?
To inform us all of the newly expanded stadium... I mean WTF?
We've been going there every other week since August - I think we've already fucking noticed it by now.

and to announce the "singing section"??????????????

Fucking unreal... if people are unaware of this then they obviously haven't been following this club thoroughly and simply need pointing in the direction of the website.

I'm not moaning - just tired of the cheesefest we're now getting at City.
Sure if you go once a year you might like the whole One Direction/X Factor experience.... But when you're there every home game it's fucking repulsive.

But the little 1D'ers like it in the North Stand eh so fuck us miserable sods who sing the whole game.
 
You would think they would at least try and announce players names right ffs , today "todays man of the match voted by you is Kevin De Brooner "
 
I mentioned in another thread, the chant thing was awful, was it Palace in the cup when we did something similar with the family stand?

There's no organisation to pre and halftime. Boys in blue played for part of the tune, then the shit 'we play for you'.

The tannoy makes your ears bleed in the SS3, Hugh Arse screaming down the mic, half time 'entertainment' and I use the term very loosely done where the access tunnel is where there are less fans than anywhere else in the ground, if the compy uses a goal its always at the NS.

Whoever plans all this shit has either come from Playschool or has a media degree either way they have no idea what the 'experienced' fan wants from his match going experience. It's not like you can get a fucking drink as the bars are shit slow.....
