Jambo92 Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Wasn't feeling the hype of the 'what a game' chat. Not sure what it was but felt a bit bland - maybe the atmosphere, maybe the fact city dominated the game and Madrids goals came out of nowhere. Don't know, but people lauding it best game in years - is it just people wanting to be part of the 'i was there' hype? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine some fan doing that in the Roseburn when Morelos or Kent scored a pen embarrassing. It’s all for social media and likes on their accounts .

Tourist football at its worst. Don't really blame the tourists tbh. It would be a great experience getting to attend a match like that. What annoys me most is the fact that teams who can't even sell their ground out for such a match, or rely on hordes of tourists attending to bump up the numbers. Hypothetical nonsense I know, but we could probably sell Tynie twice over for a big European game against someone like Real Madrid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top tiers are a good view but very poor in terms of atmosphere. I managed to get behind the goal next to away section and the atmosphere in that section is pretty good as there weren't really too many tourists mainly locals. It was quite loud where i was when City scored their goals so was surprised to hear from friends and see on twitter that the atmosphere didn't sound great. Obviously one small section doesn't make the atmosphere for a full stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man U, Chelsea, Arsenal and the like all have tourist fans I guess all the big teams in England have tourist fans to a degree, especially Man Utd and Liverpool. But speaking from my own experience of living down there, City always had a massive, long suffering and loyal fan base. Although I have little interest in English football or Champions League these days, I used to regularly go to Maine Road when City were in the old second division. They still got massive crowds when they were playing the big games in the second tier then and could get over 50k when playing Leeds, Sheffield Wednesday or Chelsea (who were also pish back then). So to suggest they only get big crowds now that they’re filthy rich is just wrong. If anything, I’m actually surprised that they don’t have demand for a much bigger stadium these days but the tourists still prefer their neighbours and the other huge Lancashire club.

Some, yes (thousands of plastic / armchair fans maybe, I know some). But to suggest 50% or 75% is absolute nonsense, although I suspect tongue in cheek. They were still getting over 30k when they had their worst ever team in the 3rd tier not that long ago (well seems not that long ago, but probably around 20 years ago). And as I said, they could get over 50k in the 2nd tier in the Billy McNeil days when I lived there). Always been one of the best supported teams in England, even through thin and thinner times. A bit like Hearts in some respects, over the years. Until recently! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
