Atmosphere - 2023/24

[Dicko69]

We don’t need to close the roof at the Etihad, even if we could.

Real Madrid will be shitting it!

We couldn't close the roof because we'd take the fucker off

 

[MCFC1993]

Same as last year, make it absolute chaos, they'll shit it again.

 

[bearcityblu]

Let's bring the noise. High press on their shaky defence and tear into Real like last year.

 

[Tim of the Oak]

Credit to all the travelling Blues. Top effort. Come on City

 

[mike1923]

How good is this!!!

And the blues are taking over!!

Glad that’s made a comeback. Heard it a few years ago and it never caught on. Big fan

 

[kippax123]

The climbs in SSL1.

It didn't work.

I only watched on the t.v but the away end at Palace on Saturday is close to the best I've ever heard

 

[JV63]

Next week we make it a fkg cauldron the whole night like last year. They knew they needed to win tonight as they know they are about to walk into a shit storm next week and hopefully a fully fit Kev & Kyle. This lot will crumble like a flake if we are on and at them from the get go...

Next week is the one. Less tourists than last year. Book half days and get on the piss. Back to back european cups cements us in history

 

[EastMidlandsBlue]

Atmosphere in our end today was good, much better than the other European aways with way less tourists, but still good.

When we did sing, we sung loud and clear however plenty of songs weren't catching on.

In reality it's impossible to make much of an impact when the entire end is that high up, but we gave it a very good go.

6.5/10

Can't wait for next week now, should be absolutely electric

When it did a close up of Gvardiol taking a throw in down by the corner towards the end, the amount of city shirts there were in the home end was staggering!
How come this is allowed? Any one know? Was it a neutral area?
Lower tier of the bernabeu by the corner flag the way we were shooting second half.

The only thing I can give you on this is that when we beat them there a few years ago and Gabriel Jesus scores you can see a whole block around the corner flag jump up and celebrate when you watch the replay of the goal.

It will be the block of “CAT A” tickets which every club is bound by UEFA rules to give to the other club. I sat in ours once at Ajax. It’s the same at the Etihad.

I've noticed that before . When City won 3-1 a few seasons back it was noticeable a few dozen City fans jumped up in that same bit. Must be a neutral zone.
Wasn't some of the players clapping towards there as well ? I think some family members might have been in same section

 

[Axel Freed]

In the guardian Barney Ronay reports that a large group of blues were stood outside the ground pre kick off singing " You're just a shit Barcelona"

Brilliant !

I posted about this on the last page. Every club gets a block of 200 Cat 1 seats for every champions league game. They were ours.

You sounded loud in the second half on tv

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Next week we’ll see if we’ve all got the same hunger as last year. Last year was like the perfect storm for us. Late title charge which we gained momentum towards the end of the season. Desperate for our first champions league and then the FA Cup which would top off a treble. We’re in a very similar situation now but I just feel that the atmosphere hasn’t quite caught on yet.

I think people have had doubts in the belief we could do it all again. I think that result last night gives a shift for the season as it’s now very similar to last year.

it will give the players a lift as well great couple weeks ahead.

The 4-0 last year was a once in a generation performance. Us lot have a job to do in that ground next week to see them through!
