There were a lot of comments about it kicking off after the game 

Bit of an understatement,it went right off.

There was a few Millwall in there too. 
I know - as I encountered some of them afterwards!! 

Snap.

Ah! Blackjack,and his bag of tricks,nothing much to look at,but absolutely mental.

There were 3 or 4 occasions in the second half, when the ball went out of play on the Dolman side of the ground, where  the Ref looked at the linesman, and the linesman looked at the Ref,they didn’t have a clue and the Ref just seemed to guess who’s throw in it was,and gave every one of them to them.

Now I don’t know how feasible it would be,but maybe convert one turnstile at each entrance to accept child tickets only,if there is an accompanying adult they could use the turnstile next to said turnstile.As I said probably not feasible,and it could get a bit messy.

My son wanted one as soon as he saw it,he didn’t manage to get one,shrugged his shoulders and said oh! Well,he’s already moved on.Personally it’s my favourite ever City kit,and I already have the shirt,a really thick cotton one purchased from Toffs years ago.

I couldn't make last night so was demoted to being an armchair supporter, I was surprised how quiet the crowd were

But when I have seen clips on various social media you can hear our fans really loud and clear, I guess it was down to the positioning of microphones - I wonder if TV companies have picked up on the "We're all singing over here" chant

I think I read somewhere years ago,that the microphones were turned down at our ‘END ‘ because of our fruity use of the English language.

Fair and valid points.

It is a bit of a copout but I would also suggest that the majority being all-seater and it is a product of the times doesn't help with it.

If seated people are more passive. Often. We are almost conditioned to be so..

*Majority all-seater.

*The loud music stifling potential for a more partisan atmosphere

*The slightly unsuited pre game music as we get closer to kick off.

*Downsy.

A bigger or 2nd Safe Standing area perhaps a 2nd one closer to away fans may set the tone.

Some of this is modern game related, some is City specific.

Fair enough,but if my grass needs cutting,I do myself or it won’t get cut.

Here we are again - FA Cup night under the lights by the Trent. We’ve got players back now so the defence is stronger and Kouyate will come straight in to midfield alongside Danilo. Elanga is back as is Awoniyi so the frontline will be a lot quicker. I think we will field the strongest side and try to get it done by half time to rest Awoniyi and Elanga for the weekend. Hudson Odoi will probably be out after the studs down his Achilles vs Bournemouth.

Turner

Montial - Omobamidele - Murillo - Toffolo

Kouyate - Danilo

Williams - Gibbs White - Elanga

Awoniyi

Done by half time,You won’t be so cocky when you seen our starting eleven.

I wonder how many people contributing to this thread,complaining about the lack of atmosphere at AG,actually make any noise themselves,and I don’t just mean singing,that’s a personal choice.I mean things like shouting for free kicks,actually getting to their feet and roaring when we attack(I know,I know),getting on the other teams backs,basically making a right racket.Ask not what the atmosphere can do for you,but what you can do for the atmosphere.

I understand the Safety Advisory Group may be removing part of our Attendix because of an acute concourse blockage. 

Bert,any  concourse as small as yours is bound to become blocked.

Not when you're a ToteEnder. Most of them don't even realise it's not actually there anymore.

Stuck in the past. Like 1982. The past. We've moved on. They're still stuck, very jealous and very very very very very bitter

Did a little fix there GM.

Judging by their crowds over the last 50 years, their crowds go in cycles.

They're either shit or ******* abysmal.

They ain’t that good.

Rovers new concourse.

Which way to the cattle auction?
 

I take it the gate at far end is to keep people in,not out.

You do realise that when (not if) the Rags go out of existence, your property will quadruple in value.

And you will deserve every penny for all that you have had to put up with. This torture sounds worse than what happens in Guantanamo Bay.

If you can't wait for them to fold, perhaps someone can contact Amnesty International to help you get away.

Having 10,000 undesirables locked outside, roaming the area in their Zombie-like state, at every home game must be incredibly inconvenient and  annoying.

Thing is,no matter what has happened in my life,I look at them and think,well it could be worse.

There has been some discussion about naming rights for the new 'stand'.

If anyone knows any big businesses that would like to sponsor the stand I suggest they get in early to avoid the rush.
