Atmosphere 2024/25

[thismeansfour]

Good ....we need to make it even more hostile & intense by putting away fans down at the front of ES1 & round the corner flag in SS1 (the worst position in the stadium for acoustics & views) and making SS2/3 all City fans.

Creating two CITY ends by shifting away fans has got the potential to make our stadium more of a bear pit and now is the time to start discussions with the authorities to make it coincide with the opening of the NS2.

Where there’s a will there’s a way !!

Ahhh operation one end back in full flow. After how shite it was the time we tried it.

Good effort from the South Stand. The FC Twente groups were comical. All good fun.

Yep. They were good. Obviously wanted to see a good stadium before tomorrow

 

[GortonBlue62]

To be fair to SSL1 they did a good job last night particularly in the first half.

Could see them but couldn't hear them from where I was. Be disappointed if they didn't sing Orangeboom

If the tourists hadn't been there it would haven't been much of a crowd. It's great to see so many people who don't normally get the chance to go.

Absolutely- I know lots of so called “tourists” who have kids & not particularly well paid employment & who would love to go every week & take their kids. These games are a real event for them and it pisses me off to hear entitled fans literally BELITTLING them.

Catching the tram from St Peters Square there were quite a few families who didn't know which tram to catch. It was great to see the kids proper excited about going to the match. Quite possibly their first match and we all know you never forget that.

The east stand is the old Kippax. We don’t want away fans in the lower tier so they would be shown on TV all match. If anything, they should be in a corner section of the 3rd tier of CB stand - so they can’t be seen or heard. All away fans are well hidden away at the swamp. We should take heed

Why would they do that? It's a lager not a tune.

To be fair a lot of the people who attend cup games are actually long standing fans who can’t afford premier league matches or are unable to attend for whatever reason.

Hence why you see so many younger people, which you don’t see for league games.

i took nieces and nephew for this. there first game. they loved it. little un cried at the cheer for the first bless her, forgot to warn her on the level of noise but she was fine after that. They tried to learn the words but mostly la la laaa and shouted 'Hi X player" at anyone taking a corner (we were in level 2, and every player is Foden or Grealish regardless lol)

Took my 7 yo daughter to her first game last night (she has been to the stadium before to watch City v United women), and she loved it.

I used to have a seasoncard, but gave it up 3 years ago and the cost for single games and availability make it difficult to go regularly. I tend to buy singles off FB if I go to any. I'm not paying £70 for two memberships for a start, so having these on open sale and relatively cheap meant it was the perfect game to take her to.

I wouldn't say she is massively into football, but she takes an interest because of me. Kind of wish i still had my seasoncard and I could take her more often, she might get really into it then.

Thought the first half was alright chant wise.

Have you got that saved in your notes and just post it every day?

We need to concentrate on making NSL2 a proper atmosphere end before anything else changes in our stadium. Where the away fans are is neither here nor there compared to making sure we get NSL2 right.

I don't know about anyone else but I'm knackered and skint after that many home games in quick succession. I thought, all things considered, it was decent.

The same mate but I've enjoyed all 4 games.

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

Yeah, same. Still feel very lucky and privileged that I get to watch this team and manager this often.

true mate. Plus I think South Stand Level 1 have bounced back atmosphere wise after a quiet start to the season.

It was great to see so many Academy Graduates get a game last night. The future is Blue too.

 

[PistonBlue]

I couldn’t make it in the end, just couldn’t get away from work in time. sounded alright on the telly.

mate took his daughter to her first game tonight, she was absolutely buzzing and overwhelmed seeing her heros in the flesh. These games are massively important for the young ens on and off the pitch

I agree, there's an undertone to it I don't like and it's getting chucked around so much it's becoming a blue-on-blue form of abuse. It's one thing criticising the club for ticketing practices that seem to favour overseas buyers with no allegiance to the club over genuine fans. It's quite another using the term 'tourist' and 'new fan' to demean other blues who don't meet some weird idea of what a blue should look like or aren't lucky enough or well-heeled enough or old enough to get in the ground as often as Bredbury Bert. If people who love the club and Mancunians of all varieties aren't welcome in the ground then the club will die, no matter how successful we are on the pitch. Some of these young families that get labelled 'tourists' actually live around the ground as well, it's genuinely their local club and it's a big outgoing. It was heartwarming to see so many kids and people usually priced out of the ground get the chance last night.
