I travelled down from London and I reckon many of you so called supporters do not attend much and watch only from your armchairs. You claim to support the team - in my book, unless you live overseas there is no excuse not to attend live games.

Unless you work shifts, family occasions holidays, etc
Is a detractor someone who thinks we are awful?
If so .
I did , as I do all the home games. And quite a few away now covid is getting better.
We are probably going down .
I think we're a pile of shit at the moment and think Tan needs to leave. I have a torn calf and haven't been able to walk for five weeks. Season ticket holder though, not that it gives my opinion any more credence
I didn't go.
Been to hundreds and hundreds of City games over many years now.
I pick and choose the games these days. I enjoy away games more than home if I'm honest.
Next one Fulham away.
Do you not have an opinion if you don't attend a game or just the ones you attend?
My last home game was Bournemouth. It was crap, they battered us.
I will add that I'd probably go more if I felt more part of it, that I was not just a number and that the owner and people running the club gave a damn about the club and run it better than they do.
If they don't give a flying **** then why should we as fans just blindly turn up when it is bad.
I've had a season ticket for many of the previous seasons but Covid showed many fans there are other things out there too.
Lmao surely not the "u arent real fan" argument. We support Cardiff you doughnut, why would anyone in their right mind pretend to give a shit about us? Sometimes real life gets in the way, the fact we're all spending our Saturday evening talking about this football club shows that we clearly all care
Forgot to say also don't talk shite.
I had an opinion when I attended religiously and have one now.
You can walk away with your chest puffed out and pat yourself on the back because you attended. Well done.
I probably attended more than you home and away in seasons gone by. Means f@ck all really. We are still where we are with the team we have and owners who are clueless.
As for detractors, I'm sure you're over the moon with how we're doing things no doubt.
The club does not have the feeling that it once did and when you realise you're just a customer and a number to those owners that can't be arsed to attend themselves then it changes a few things.
For many it is certainly like that. Football and going to watch the City was the main thing I would aim to do when younger.
As I've got older, had kids etc then things change. You physically can't fit it in with life going on elsewhere.
People have other commitments.
Does it make it easier missing games when you are viewed as a number by owners that do what the hell they like regardless of fan opinion? Probably.
Does going to every game make you a Billy Big Balls? No. I was a regular attender for many years but let's be fair if we stopped going tomorrow and a new face who had never watched City before took our place and there was no drop in cash Tan would not care.
I bet TOBW went.
He'd go even if it was raining pussies and pups, leaving at 07.00 to deal with the traffic and would limp in despite a torn calf.
Oh **** off.
my sentiments exactly.. sadly, and I appreciate it's a long time ago now, I haven't felt the same about the club since I walked up the stairs into the Ninian Stand and was faced with a wall of red from the Grandstand, the club was always way more about the fans than the football to me, anybody who knows me know I lived for the day out and the laughs, the game was largely an ugly distraction..
I joke with the one lad I go with regularly that a City game day is usually a cracking day spoiled by the 90 minutes on many occasions.
Football has changed a lot though. A lot of City characters have dropped off. Football has become sanitised.
It has changed for me. It doesn't have the same level of feeling any more.
The move to the new ground, the owner, the change of rules basically eliminating the physicality of the game, reaching the Premier League after dreaming for so long for it to be crap. A lot of reasons really.
Funny, whilst I certainly didn't enjoy being the underdogs for 38 PL matches, the atmosphere and drama with a 34,000 crowd felt like we were where we belonged. Having watched a couple of PL games at the Liberty plus another 4 or 5 other grounds when we were in the PL. I'd have to say the CCS was by far the noisiest .
I had the opposite feeling with it.
We felt like we were on a one season PL tour. When we went to many places, while it was a big day for us the likes of Anfield, Goodison and a few more were like morgues.
It also felt like we had a few rent a fan types who would be gone as soon as our relegation was confirmed and all the so called big clubs had rolled out of town. It had the same feeling your Wales games at the Millennium Stadium had when England, Brazil or Germany played there. Fans there just for the event. Maybe that would change if we stayed in the league a bit longer but it seemed many had tickets to see the stars of other teams rather than back City. Having our @rses handed to us regularly wasn't great either and the feeling we could have given it a better go on both PL visits.
Against the 'big 6/7' you def. were aware of the camp followers around. But you actually get a similar effect at those grounds as well. Even in the 90's I was given [good] tickets to go to Anfield, a ground where you'd expect a completely loyal and partisan crowd, yet it was full of people taking photos. I think it is something you'd get used to - given the chance !
Not sure if matters really, look at the league table and form, a change is needed.
If people want to go then that’s up to them, people can have a million reasons to go or not.
