15000 at ninian park or 23000 that now attend CCS,do you feel the crowd has been diluted since the grim days.we have more supporters than we could ever have imagined,but has this come at a cost of a supporter that is happy to sit and watch a game with no apparent passion for the club they support.i personally started coming back down the city in 1998,me and my brother.i suppose gates of 5000.i personally think that you need support to get to the top,but i do feel that the soul has been lost along the way. :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

It seems to me that a lot of the crowd are not City supporters at all, just there to watch a game of football (if you get my meaning) :old:

Annis i agree with what you said but the trend was setting when we were at Ninian Park in my opinion. Sad but true it took and still does a big game to get the crowd into a frenzy. If we get to the Prem perhaps we could get that every game its us against the world. :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

i posted this on another thread.
i prefered watching city at np in league 1.
better atmosphere, players played with passion.
the crowd has increased but the emotion has decreased.
there should be a a push by the club with flyers of all the songs taped to the seats and ali prompting the plastics at certain times to sing them. :ayatollah:

Unfortunately we need to embrace the new supporters I was there in the 3K crowds Like Steve Annis etc and although I Loved it it was desperate at Times !
We do need to welcome the plastic manu scouse etc . :(

I know there was talk of our new stadium well before it was built and planned, but i never thought they would take the heart out of the club. Miss Ninian in a big way.



For me Ninian.


One of the biggest attractions for me when i was first introduced to the City in 88/89 (Aged 9) season was the passion and the singing. The football was shit!

When I first started going in 1993 it was the passion of the fans that got me hooked. I think the crowds were about 6 or 7 thousand but the atmosphere was amazing. More fans sadly doesnt mean a better atmosphere at home but I think the away games are still good for vocal support. Going to my first away game of the season at Leeds and cant wait.
