Etihad Atmosphere - 2022/23

[There is a Light]

The best City vlogger IMO and a brief appearance from me celebrating the first at 6:36!

I don’t know about that. The Hamburg game was a long time ago now so can be forgotten how good it was but it was truly electric that night. Everyone was on their feet on the whole of Level 1 all game and every touch felt like the crowd was behind it.

I don’t think the other night was as good an atmosphere as Liverpool in 2019 either.

You maybe right but we do tend to romanticise past times i.e. Maine Road was always rocking etc.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Agree with both points. The other night was comfortable in the second half and it fell off a bit. Both of those two had tension and nerves and baying in the second half.

We also didn’t sing “follow you everywhere” back then ;-)

Hehe I actually thought of you when SS3 were banging it out along with Follow Follow....I'm on here too much!!!!!

 

[Ducado]

We are rather spoiled as City fans, we get to watch fantastic football week in week out, for quite a few seasons we expect to win most games, however when there is something riding on it, like the chance to win the league against a rival team, the atmosphere goes up several notches

Well done to all the lads (and lasses) who worked so hard on the banners and things, it really helped, now let’s have the same for the Madrid game

Haha. Fair play. That one gets some traction now so I'm giving it a pass. It's Follow You Everywhere I'm putting on my shitlist for home games now.

Wednesday night was the first game that topped the Hamburg game, for me. I wasn't at Utd in 2012 or Liverpool in 2019 but hear they came close.

Fantastic and KDB says it's the best he's known this season and they love the Poznan.

Dick on motd, said we only do poznan when we're winning. When will they get it

Liverpool 2019 was easily the best atmosphere we've produced at the Etihad. It was better than Hamburg.

I've been to hundreds of games across the UK and Europe. I've been to Anfield on a European night. I've watched derbies in Athens. Been to Germany half a dozen times etc.

I honestly think that game in 2019 is the best atmosphere I've experienced anywhere... the crazy part is we didn't really sing that much either!

When we're on it, we're as good as any set of fans. It's the inconsistency that's the problem.

Need to stop idiots like him getting a ticket in grounds.

Not really fair fans are missing out because a vlogger wants to turn up

Yep ban the pricks
One bloke went past me with his phone on one of them sticks things.
What a bellend

Never watched anything by a vlogger and never will.
If people didn't watch them they would get a ticket instead of a real fan

its as though a new set of players are just feeling the poznan, it has always hung about but this season has seen a decent come back and like most fans glad to see that. I think now the fans are starting to do it for longer and altogether.

Agree in some way though, poznan tends to come out at 3 nil or near the end. To many times it left opposition fans a chance to try mock it and copy which looks horrendous. Having said that we did start it at the poznan home game but the circumstance where totally different. I remember those loud as fk poznan fans, never heard hand clapping echo round a stadium like it, it was back in the day when away fans got the two wide blocks lower tier so there was a lot of Lech fans, around 1,600 in the lower tier. Every single fan clapped and sang at the same time, that was even before KO ! They did the bounce which was follwed by "WTf hell was that". So when we scored kippax corner started doing the poznan, lower SS did the same and the rest is history.

Mate, rather him than those liars in the press, those cunts could not ever do us any justice and report as it was, which this guy did, no sneering or bias and full appreciation of how majestic we are.

Unfortunately the replies from mainly rags are as bad as you’d expect. Bitter cunts

Hamburg is still the top in my opinion, I think because we had nothing to lose. We were trying to overturn a deficit and just went for it. I was in 212 and I still remember the Hamburg fans, who made a racket pre-game, completely stop and look around when Blue Moon started echoing around. Because of the alcohol ban most fans were coming to their seats just before kick off but it went off big time that day. How we nearly got level despite the red card is only down to how good our atmosphere was. I think Martin Jol commented on it after the game as well.

The Liverpool game was brilliant, but there's the nervousness in the back of everyone's mind that can temper it a bit. There was none of that for Hamburg.

Yes of course and if it was the other way round we'd be giving it them, tbh it's the dumb cunts moaning at us only taking 32k fans to Wembley that fuck me off, most of them have never had 32k in their own fucking ground

 

[EastMidlandsBlue]

Don't get me wrong Hamburg was a special night, but I personally believe that people are misremembering how good it actually was.

It was definitely the first truly great etihad atmosphere, but doesn't come close to Liverpool or Tottenham in 2019 or Arsenal 2023 in my opinion.

I don’t agree mate. Hamburg for me is the best atmosphere I’ve heard at the Etihad. I was in the north stand level 2 and I’ve never heard a noise like it. My ears were ringing.

I think the ticket prices made the difference. There were large groups of city fans all stood together

 

[Franny 1234]

I think arsenal fans deserve a lot of credit for the way they continuously sing for about 20 minutes even when 3 nil down.

I've no love for Arsenal fans
But I agree at final whistle they still had the majority of their fans still in the stadium. Unlike LiVARpool and Stretford SCUM. CTID

I didn't expect it to be a hot take haha, but we all have our opinions.

Completely agree with you about ticket prices, I shudder to think of how good the atmosphere would've been on Wednesday if 30% of the ground wasn't half and half wearing knobheads.

No he didn't. He said we only do the Poznan when we're confident the win is secured. The commentator was basically saying it's been easy for us. No need to be so precious.
