Etihad Atmosphere - 2022/23

[MrCheeseGrater]

Just noticed the attendance Saturday? Has our capacity changed again? It was 53400 last season wasn’t it?

I think they put some seats in the corners of the South stand.

That was purely for the lionesses that came on the pitch, that nobody could see because of the firework smoke.

Whoever arranged that fuck up wants sacking, what I also noticed is the flame throwers are on wheels with nothing in the way of anchor, knowing City at some point one of those fuckers will keel over and blow torch a few hundred people.

Couldn’t find anywhere else to write this but I couldn’t hear the PA announcer at all in south stand level 2. Just muffled mumbo jumbo. Especially on the subs and own goal.

SS3 and couldn’t hear a word the whole match. Thought it was just my ears!

Great atmosphere on Saturday on a red hot day. One thing I noticed is when they had drinks break loads of fans fucked off to the bar too.

Would the Bars be open at those times?

BBC had it at 53434 or something like that..,

53,453 reported everywhere. Maybe we’ve squeezed a few seats in somewhere

Ground looked completly full once the stagglers came in and after the pyro smoke dissipated at about 10 mins. Fans going for a drink on 35 and coming back at 55/60 then decideding to go because of the tram annountment at 80 it a continuous source of frustration. Brind back proper standing, drinking in the stadium and special buses back to town like in the old days and maybe it will be full longer and improve the atmosphere further. Simple changes would make a hell of a difference. I would also be really contraversial and lock the gates until 90 mins so no one can sneak out before the end.

MLS teams put alot of UK teams to shame

Stood with the galaxy fans a few times behind the goal, loved the whole experience.

They were buying anything and everything in the city store

I've no idea but they were all heading in that direction

Bar in hope but they may have been disappointed.
Cig in the toilets though.

I'm not one to enjoy flares / smoke bombs in the ground, but I would look the other way if that shit was in front of me and someone accidentally got him to swallow one....

Interesting to hear what the away fans think when they visit the Etihad Despite their teams 4-0 defeat on Saturday . Sounds like the Bournemouth fans enjoyed their visit to the Etihad and went some way into dispelling the mith that our stadium is a souless , empty library .

Fair play to the Bournemouth lads there. They seem so appreciative to be in the premiership. Top fans for making the journey up.

Haha, it looks like a piss take and a set up. Never seen something so ridiculous. Either that or the local nut house was given a few match tickets. Ugly buggers!

Thanks for sharing. Good video from the Bournemouth fans.

FWIW, I thought we had a good atmosphere on Saturday and I hope we can sustain that.

Yes it was excellent being able to chat for once up there.

Eh?

I thought it was really good considering how hot it was and the match was a stroll. Seemed to be a lot more humour amongst the crowd too, perhaps it was down to playing against a team with a decent set of fans!
