[NSC] A couple of Observations yesterday

Some years back I emailed Bolton, because the music at their ground is totally deafening, to the extent that you can hardly talk to your neighbour. They said 'not had any other complaints'.
So, maybe we should start?

Said exactly the same thing. Let the fans create the atmosphere. There was far too much music, expecially before the match I thought, and Christ , it was far too loud. When will the football authorities learn?

Maybe I have been spoilt by the Amex but, I thought Wembley looked a bit cold, shabby and dated.

#1 Observation from yesterday for me:
We can play football, we can put these teams on the back foot if we unshackle ourselves at times, I know this was a cup game but sometimes we need to take a few more risks in the league. Our boys got them worried, whilst we didn't always look like we'd score, we definitely caused them enough concern to drop deeper and deeper. That was exciting, if we took that and applied it to the league (albeit, not all the time) then we'll be fine. It somewhat reminded me of how we played in the championship at times, higher pressing and a more urgency in the transitions. My main beef with Hughton for the past season has been how slow, apprehensive and reluctant we are in the transition to attack. 2nd half yesterday, more urgency and a greater desire. More of that, please.

Living the dream
Was on the pitch at the end applauding the fans. In blue coat and was very happy to stay and take photos with me and my daughter in the Boxpark after the game. Bit harsh comment IMHO as a key observation of the game.

Was on the pitch yes saw him didn't see him applauding though saw him talking to other players
only about 3000 fans they arent expected to take 30,000 again. I Dont disagree with points about the issues and reaslns why for city. But this isnt one.

I was pretty impressed with the stadium, again, ( a real pain to get to though) but the club Wembley sections were very sparsely populated and “broke up”our end, which was a shame.

Absolutely. Its more frustrating when we don't press teams we really should be pressing (saints at home for example) because we all know we can do it well when we want to!! I hope the performance yesterday gives the lads the kick on they need to get the results to see us through
Ticket touts were in operation. I was offered them

I think we may see it more. Hughton now seen it in action against a team in a competitive tie. Training only shows so much.

Probably not the same guys as a different level in the stadium. But 2 lads sat behind us at the start of the second half - undoubtedly p****d - and just started f’ing and blinding in a very loud and abusive manner. One of them said, “If they score a second let’s just f*** off out of this s*** hole”! I was almost hoping City did score!!
This was in 552 - so next to City fans... albeit quite a few seats from them. They then started mouthing off about dirty northern c***s. All this will numerous youngsters in the area.
It seemed so weird as it wasn’t like that in the first half. Then realised what had happened when the two actual ticket owners for the seats returned after queuing for the loo!! The two idiots got up and staggered down the steps still swearing loudly and gesticulating to the City fans. You could see them looking for other seats they could take... but eventually left the block. Goodness knows where their seats actually were!!
Complete knob heads!

I also enjoyed the day very much. After the initial shock of conceding so early it turned out to be a great day. I was so gutted at first with that goal.
Delighted with the seat I purchased. Stood up the whole game and no stewards about watching you. Someone had the cheek to spark up a joint and took a few puffs.
My first trip to Wembley and I enjoyed it very much. After the game the queue for the tube looked horrific but once it moved you moved for ages and didn't have long to wait.

Hmmmm Strange, my last train back to South Wales was 8.45 from Paddington. I managed to stay and clap my team off until they left the field and then get there with twenty minutes to spare. strange that.
