Tsunami Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 This was a different semi final. Home first leg so it wasn’t the getting to the final leg and we largely gave up possession. I thought the atmosphere was ok. City controlling the game had a huge bearing on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Just been reading an exchange on Facebook mocking Man City fans for not taking up their full allocation. A few of them have responded by saying how surprised they were at how bad the atmosphere was in the home end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone giving it the big un on this is definitely gonna look a bit silly if we don't sell our allocation for the return leg today 😂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CallumG6 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 On the topic of entitlement, was chatting to a couple of City fans at the airport before the Leverkusen game. They were older gentlemen, seen a lot of shite prior to the Abu-Dhabi takeover. They said they're sick to the back teeth of the young ones bitching and moaning, both in the ground and online. Toys out the pram when they don't win games. Now I know they're a lot further on in this journey than we are, but perspective is often lost when it comes to a poor run of results. I hope we don't get to that point where we forget where we've come from. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I've a mate who has a season ticket there, he stopped going for a bit because of how shite/plastic he was finding it, ironically ended up going back during their dodgy run last season because a lot of the fairweathers stopped going and it felt "real" again and what atmosphere they sometimes have started reappearing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely wouldn't want us to get as successful as the likes of Man City, I think it looks fucking boring and quite sad in a way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallumG6 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Agreed mate, give me what we've got over winning 5 league titles in a row. When you're winning that often, kinda loses its meaning in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the take up of their allocation, when you've won it 8 times and are regularly in semi finals I suppose the novelty is bound to wear off.

When we played them in the 3rd Round back in 23/24 they brought well over 4k. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks an unbelievably hard task after last night's result, but what sort of fan would I be if I just decided not to go because it looks like we'll get knocked out.

Spoilt bastards walking out in their thousands with 10 minutes to go when 2 goals up in an fa cup quarter final. I can already see signs of that mentality in our fanbase.

pedro111 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I have to say that it sounds really good on the telly tonight. Loads of singing coming through from our lot. Only really heard the PSV fans loud a couple of times. Great to see! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newintoon Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Does sound decent on the tv, maybe they all read Edward’s article beforehand and thought not having that. https://archive.ph/2h6oB still need a singing / standing area somewhere in the leazes as a priority for next season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
