I stand corrected about the noise at the Vale game, and I was asking for comments because I knew the microphones could have had a lot do with perceived noise my end. In that case I may be exaggerating the difference between our home fans and theirs. Fair comment and I am in no position to say otherwise.Feel I have to respond to the OP comments on the Port Vale game. The home fans were pretty much silent during the first half and only showed any signs of life when they perceived the ref was against them particularly when Bowman got away with something. It was us making all the noise. But you people listening to the radio or watching TV got a totally unreal perception of crowd noise because the microphones were obviously positioned near the home fans therefore picking up any feeble sounds made by them and not the noise made by us. The second half was a different story as Vale upped their game and the fans woke up in response.
There was not a huge City following, hardly surprising for a freezing Tuesday night in January, but those there did their bit. Perhaps you have forgotten the comments on here about inappropriate chanting at the game.
Our away support is to be admired and criticism from the TV audience is unfair.
However I certainly would never criticise our away support and wasn't doing at any point in the OP. I'm extremely proud of it.
