Atmosphere 2024/25

[herrock]

Watching the Newcastle game, and the famous toon atmosphere is sadly lacking. Dead, and they are winning.

I thought our support was OK yesterday. It was hard to hear it on the TV, but it did come across good at times. Saying that, the Olympic stadium is absolutely dreadful for atmosphere.

Agree 6/10

What is the segregation wall all about at West Ham?

You’d be fuming if one of those was put up in the South Stand.

It's the same everywhere mate, sanitised to death and far to many working class people priced out of the once working class game.

Seemed very noisy to me in the upper tier but I was next to a young lad starting off song after song (probably not Tim of the Oak, no offence!)

You will need to sing a bit louder next time for the rest of the stand to hear you. Each to their own but the atmosphere was dire.

Hard for me to judge as it was so loud right next to me! The separation of the away fans with the yawning gap between the two tiers obviously doesn’t help. I was also very grateful to the lead singer for retrieving my glasses case after the Poznan so the contents may have been rose tinted

The Poznan was a definite highlight.

I actually thought it was decent today considering the game it was. Nothing special by any means, but I thought it was alright.

 

[Bluemoonie92]

Second half was decent with south stand and Kippax corner singing at each other. Brentford fans were pathetic so it was gonna be hard to get it rocking

We've been here before.

Shite today, the one time it looked like the entire stadium might be in sync with Champions again, the fucking corner of the Kippax start the Zabalata song and ruin it

Thought it was ok. In terms of number of songs we are great on quantity, just a shame most of the ground sit on their hands.Still thought it was ok

cant blame tourists as tickets still unsold

SS3 good in the 2nd half.

 

[BlueMoonday]

I didn't notice it for the Ipswich game but I noticed today, that Blue Monday intro music is ace.

With almost the entire 3rd tier of the away end empty, it was going to be pretty poor from them.

 

[Gone for a Burton]

Shite today, the one time it looked like the entire stadium might be in sync with Champions again, the fucking corner of the Kippax start the Zabalata song and ruin it

This exactly why ALL SS 3/2 should be exclusively City's second home end.

Relocate the away fans into ESL1 / round the corner.

The club must not miss this last opportunity to reorganise the stadium for the benefit of City fans and and an improved, hostile atmosphere !!

3pm Saturday home games, always the same. Vast majority of people just want to watch a football game, react to the action on the pitch, have a couple of pints and they don't want to sing songs or chant. Just the way it is, every ground is the same, Liverpool desperately pushing for a goal at Anfield, and you could hear the players shouting.
No big deal, it's ok to watch football without singing. On the big nights the atmosphere takes care of itself.
In Germany, France and Italy you have whole sections with little interest in the football. They just chant and perform all game, we don't have that, thankfully. At Bayren there are muppets waving huge flags all game, blocking the view of the football, regardless of the action on the pitch.
Can't think of any absolutely thumping atmosphere at any Saturday 3pm game, and that's actually fine.

Do we need the away fans to create an atmosphere? Even when they bring large allocations it usually doesn’t make any difference either, unless it’s a big game.

Thought it was decent today, but as always we need a proper home end

Spot on.

I couldn’t make the game today, I managed to watch the second half on a stream on some foreign channel and it sounded half decent to me.

As a fanbase we really do beat ourselves up about atmosphere more than we need to.
