Empty seats, small club, no history....

[Sister of fu]

I would like the fans that leave early and have done for years to think about it. The fans that stayed gave the players a standing ovation, after the last two games they deserved it. Things have changed at City maybe the 70 mins I'm off brigade should.

Of all the issues, regarding fan behaviour, for me this is the one that you can't defend.
Everyone has there own reason for leaving early and it is their perogative to do so. But no matter what way you dress it up, it looks Goddamn awful.

The club are doing everything on and off the pitch to give the fans the best team in the world to watch. Maybe prices could be lower, but that has nothing to do with people leaving early.
The team and the management are moving permanently into the big time. This is the next level of football.
Maybe, and I include myself in this, some fans mentality is going to have to change also or be left behind to a newer generation of fan. That's life.

Booing? I think it is a valid protest and has really made a point. Maybe the club are pushing this statement that Pep made about full houses.
I certainly think the timing of it is wrong after the match the other night, but perhaps it has as much to do with asking for a change in attitude.
That'll grate with a certain sector of hardcore support. But here I go back to my statement above . maybe the club are asking for the fans to evolve or get left behind in this journey.

I've no problem with the booing, but maybe an alternative just as good would be a full house there for the anthem that would drown it out with an appropriate pro-City anthem.

Just a thought, but I find Pep to be a very positive thinking man. He doesn't emphasise the negative. Powers of positive thinking and all that!
Maybe booing although a valid protest is too negative for the current City mindset. Pro-City chanting would be a positive reinforcement that might be more in keeping with the current team journey.

Cue the nay-sayers.

The booing did seem to subside where I was stood yesterday and a rendition of blue moon started. I thought the atmosphere yesterday was really good. Think a bit of good weather always help and with the team playing like they are everyone seemed in good sprits.

I cant attend of Saturday and I am genuinely gutted. Last season I could not have given two fucks if I was away. The enjoyment is back at the club and if we carry on in this vain people will want to be at every game instead of cherry picking the so called good ones.

Couldn't agree more on the leaving early thing, I really don't think there's any excuse for it as it is.
You can understand the occasional thing, but not as it is now, en-mass every game.
People just don't seem to see the effect it has, and any sort of dialogue ends with "I've paid, I'll do what I like".
As you say, it needs a change of mentality, hopefully the club will find some way to drive this.

Supporters versus Fans. They need our support.
