I have witnessed days /nights at the kp that were certainly a match for filbo. I think the sanitized nature of the match day experience and the availability of tickets for groups of friends to be together certainly doesn't help. I also think some on here overly big up some of our rivals support and seem to down play ours. A singing section in an expanded kp with a standing section would change everything. Just got to hope the club see sense and want this. Worryingly everything I have seen and heard on expansion is about ‘premier seats’ and corporate boxes.
Guest Lako42 Posted 17 February 2020 Posted 17 February 2020 The games gone I'm afraid. Maybe UFS can crowd fund for an ultras box

This is so true. I was in the stands when the pre-match drink flinging was taking place, but after 90 minutes of mutness (including me, I was knackered and uninspired by the game) they suddenly piped up in the concourse, on the walk out of the ground. What happened? Lads around me instantly firing up their phones for a Snapchat or Insta post. There's a whole misnomer around "OAPs" who, by the way, have every right to be there having likely been at the game for years and years and years preceding the young lads who disrespect them. The flaw is that it hinges on there being thousands of lads who want to take their place and make noise. In reality they don't. They need enough content for their videos to impress their mates, and then they'll shut up. They're no better than the True Fox or the OAPs they disregard to easily.

It's not the fault of the 10% of older people that make up our ends, it's the fault of the 75% of "lads" who basically don't have the bollocks and/or the pride to sing in the stands when the opposition fans can see them. Anybody can give it the biggun in the concourse when it's just Leicester around but it takes some minerals to be next to the South Bank at Wolves for example and to be visibly supporting your team. Maybe it's a regional thing, Notts Forest's end at WBA at the weekend look pathetic as well even when they equalised in the 90th. 33 minutes ago, Lako42 said: The games gone I'm afraid.

Maybe because we aren't a 'footballing' city the likes of Manchester, Liverpool, Newcastle and arguably Sheffield and Birmingham are too.

Vestan Pance Posted 18 February 2020 Posted 18 February 2020 I almost feel like jacking it in after seeing the Atletico supporters tonight, what an atmosphere they create. If only we could get 20% of that here we'd have some sort of home advantage.

We've come such a long way in such a short time but our fans should be better considering what we've achieved and how proud we should all be. I'd never consider jacking it in though. I'd have to do shit jobs around the house if I didn't go😄

Slightly unfair comparison, our Champions League atmospheres at home were generally excellent and, should we qualify, I would expect it to be similar next season. Just need to get the noise going on Saturday.

It's typical of todays society though sadly.

To be honest we had one of the best set of active supporters in Europe at the KP when Copenhagen came and I heard nothing from them. Partly down to the club saying they couldn't bring their drums and megaphones in though. Personally I feel that's partly why they did the pyro display at our ground. In all honesty the away fans at CL ties shouldn't stand a chance. 5% is simply too small an allocation for them to control an away ground. Looking at the seeding from last year and assuming we'd be in pot three then the worst (or best depending on how you look at it) scenario in terms of away fans in my opinion would be PSG, Dortmund and Atalanta. Looking forward to whoever comes as it lifted the whole stadium having a bouncy away end. Pre kick off at the Porto group stage match was incredible in SK1.

Spot on, these people have been following City for years through thick and thin. The banter lads, instagram 'liiimbs' 'sceeenes' loser army will be gone when social media evaporates, and their fellow faceless loser online 'friends' stop commenting 'wicked pal' on their selfie videos of the 2 minutes they opened their mouths at the football.
Guest Lako42 Posted 19 February 2020 Posted 19 February 2020 Start calling the morons out. Phones should be banned at the footy. Millennials are worse for the atmosphere than OAP's

All in for banning phones though.
K1FOX Posted 19 February 2020 Posted 19 February 2020 This thread has taken a sudden twist. From blaming our shit support on the OAP’s to now blaming the younger lot. Fair to say we just don’t have the same passion as many others. Sad

Millennials are worse for the atmosphere than OAP's anyone with a phone should be given a banning order imo. Everyone should also have to wear a noise monitor, if they register below a certain average over the course of the 90 mins, they should also receive a 3 match ban.
