Atmosphere..

Yes, as was Sunderland in the main. Now Rochdale was a cracking atmosphere

 

Sore heads from the night before?

Heard alot from O'Donnell though, barking out orders.

 

Agree but the performance was quite flat after the 3rd goal. It was effectively over as a contest at that point. Rochdale was definitely a better performance and atmosphere.

But then I'm happy for us to continue wrapping up games within an hour!

 

Yes, I also commented on this in the second half. The crowd did seem very subdued for long periods today. Nursing hangovers perhaps?

 

Not true. I was in block E and on about 67 minutes some guy stood up and shouted 'come on city!'

 

Yep, flat atmosphere today, hope we aren't going to get complacent and expectant.

Get the feeling some will be moaning much too loud if we stop dominating sides like we have been doing.

 

Factors affecting today’s atmosphere

- We knew we’d won after 30 minutes
- People were hungover/tired from a late night
- When the away following is low and quiet it often impacts the home atmosphere
- Many people are back at work tomorrow so a) dreading that and b) many swerved a pre match beer or 3 as they would if it were a Saturday.

 

Agree some were clapping like feck in the upper kop for over 30 seconds.

 

I thought it was a typical VP atmosphere, not bad not good. The feel good factor is back though which is the important thing.

 

Yes I thought it was quiet, remember whispering to my brother halfway through second half about the silence. ...could hear the Stanley fans taking the Mick about it too where we sit in Midland Road.
As mentioned the game was over after the third goal and everything then seemed to go a bit flat
Am sure it will be bouncing at Barnsley though! !
Enjoy your break lads

 

Very flat today lack of atmosphere all round, and I couldn’t hear the Chicksen moaners two rows behind

 

Wondered how many City fans were nursing a stinking cold and cough. Nearly everyone I know has one at the moment, I only just made it to the match. Enjoyed watching, but felt a little subdued.

 

Yup, I'm full of cold, starting this morning.

 

We don't want that kind of raucous behaviour at VP......

 

I think I've got Man Flu !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Sorry to hear that, it’s been nice knowing you. I’m sure there will be a minutes silence before the Barnsley game, and the players will be wearing black armbands.

 

Is that one of @Fordy117 's midgets?

 

The old boy next to me left his gloves at home. Just couldn't get into the game.

 

Are you sure it was his gloves and not his glasses those turnstiles aren't that small.
