Could be something in this. A few years ago Man Utd had a grey away kit which the players complained about. They said it was hard to pick players out against the crowd. Talking about kits I think the ones we have had recently are boring. I also don't like it when the manufacturer uses the same design for several clubs.

So now we're approaching winter, the passing success ratio should naturally improve with all the darker coats /jackets ,then they just need to heard us all down the front of the stands,filling from the front,then use that webbing or cardboard cut outs or blow up dolls to fill in.Did I just write that??:facepalm:
Pretty sure where clubs have reconstructed during a season some have had a graphic banner printed to imitate a crowd scene.

Wrong, the poor weather conditions will cancel that out.

We didn't have sky blue seats in the stands in those days and as has been said, it's the empty seats as much as anything that may cause the problem.

And before anyone mentions again about Man City fans wearing sky blue, that is not every fan. When you have empty sky blue seats it is just sky blue and nothing else in places.

I have no problem with us reverting to stripes if it helps the team on the pitch.

After all, we have never played in such a big stadium with so many empty seats before have we.

If that was the case every home side would have the same problem.....empty seats or fans wearing their own colours.

But not every home fan wears their team colours.




As with Man City here there are other colours amongst the sea of blue. If all the seats in a block are empty and the same colour as a kit I can see how that may well cause a problem.

As this pictures shows, there are lots of different colours and shades amongst a block of fans.

And though Liverpool wear all red, their scarves are red and white.



Be interesting to look at teams that only play in one straight colour such as the City (all Sky Blue) and Liverpool (all red), with the same colour seats. But with lots of empty seats.

I can see us Sky Blues fans turning our backs on the play one day just like Man City do, though I fear with us it that will probably because the football on the pitch is so bad.

Old picture but eye level and maybe he has a point!!



Although maybe not so much with the new paler kits.

This thread feels a lot like clutching at straws.

I agree but the pace of league 1 football is that much more frantic plus the gulf in quality means the man city players have more time on the ball
A half glance Is all you get in our league and if they haven't read the game then there's a tackle or pressure. Panic
