It's also supposed to be really important to the players so I just wish they'd show it sometimes. I come back to the spirit of Hamburg. What a fucking night; a great atmosphere. Why is it impossible to recreate that? If we stuff Bayern at home I'd guess fans would leave the Etihad delighted with the experience. Here's hoping.

I understand your sentiments but you also have to look at the way we have been dealt with by the CL cunts....and its not a case of these things ironing themselves out over time, we have been fucked since day one of our takeover and continue to be fucked over and over again...that's not me looking through blue tinted specs...its bang on the nail.
This is why lots of fans think the way they do right now - the only gripe I will ever have with any of our fans are to the fuckign cunts who leave games early...like 10 bastard minutes early...that's fucking disgusting, more so than the attitude that some have for the CL.
So you would rather the 10-20,000 people who leave early don't go at all?
Well, I suppose playing to an empty stadium every week would make all the difference to our performances
Personally, I'm home for the derby and have a season ticket, but still can't be arsed throwing the regular matchgoer out of his seat because he has had to endure the shit that city have served up this year. I've been home for 6 weeks now, and honestly now rather watch the match down the pub than go sit in abject silence for 2 hours and pay £40-50 for the privilege.
As far as I'm concerned, the days of me watching city live (at home) are finished, it's a shit experience and not worth the money - and before I left the uk I fucked the champs league off, it's fucking dire football
I now understand the rags who don't go at home but move heaven and earth to go away, the home 'experience! Is fucking awful, in fact beyond awful.

If we were battering teams the place would be rocking.

Ha you couldn't be more wrong. Atmosphere was shite last season even when we're breaking all kind of goal scoring records. The atmosphere at Maine road was better when we're struggling in division 2 than it was last season. It's nowt to do with the quality of football.

Dire football was back in the 80,s mate and I went home and away army leave permitting - I don't remember a mass exodus leaving early, it juts gets on my tits to see us city fans leave....must have an adverse effect on the players to see thousands leave in the last 10 mins!
I get your point about the atmosphere , its nothing like the kippax days and I blame the club for this and also the fuckign cunts that stopped standing at matches...that killed the atmosphere DEAD and its never got back on its feet........
Maybe if there was 10 to 20 k less per game then maybe the club would be more pro active on generating a better match day experience!!
