Atmosphere Thread | 2025/26

Can't wait to fill out my online" atmosphere "questionnaire email from the club.
I diligently fill it out week in ,week out .Normally slagging it off and trying to offer constructive words to improve it.

Nothing ever changes.They don't listen and they don't give a fuck.
Hence why a lot are walking away .Clearly they are not arsed.I keep saying it but chasing the pound notes will bite them right on the arse.

Does that really matter? Most games there’s little to no banter at all. The only sections that create ‘banter’ most of the time are the small blocks either side of the away fans

Having our fans not near away fans, or obsessed with what there doing is needed I think

I don't know, suppose we'll find out next year when a chunk of vocal fans move to the other end of the ground.

Was terrible yesterday, some behind me in 016 tried their hardest but only about 20 fans joined in me being one of them. We need a boost from somewhere, Wednesday should be a lot better though

All seater stadiums fucked atmosphere up in my opinion.

The team should inspire the atmosphere with good flowing football.

I'm a bit like the clash with this new stand as in should I stay or should I go from 316 ss3.
Do the club want people to transfer into it or not.Dont think I've heard anything regarding relocations Into it yet .I'm all for a solid home end if that's what it is.The silence from the club is pretty deafening though.Clueless me as what to do.

Personal opinion - me ranting.

It's shit because of the wankers that go but don't show any support.
Just after the non penalty something happened and I yelled out (to the referee) 'You bent bastard' I got a tap on the shoulder and a bloke asked me to watch my language! He had children with him.
It's a football match, it's where working class blokes go to enjoy a game, I bet his (grand) children know far more bad words than I do
They had sat there in silence, no vocal support, nothing. I say one so called bad word and I'm worried he'll report me and I'd be banned.
It ruined the first half for me, in the second half I fucked off and found another seat. I didn't even celebrate the 2nd goal that's how bad I felt.
It's shite because wankers want the opera, they don't want emotion.

I'm sick of it. On 90 minutes no fucker was left in the stadium and no doubt this fucker had gone as little Rupert was tired.
I'm wound up. If you are reading this. Fuck off and when you get there, fuck off again.

Same happened to me the SS3 a two seasons ago. Asked not to swear by a parent of a young family.
I did say the family stand is opposite !

I didn’t think it was too bad yesterday in 015.

Highlights for me though being the usual suspects missing both goals because they got to their seats late and then went for their half time pint early ! And then another fella had a pint with him during the second half. Hats off to him !

I was guilty leaving for a half time pint and missing Semenyo's goal. But a weird thing happened and I can't get my head round it. We noticed looking at the monitor that the score had changed to 2-0 but you couldn't hear a cheer at all where we were stood, found that totally bizarre

It doesn't help that they made a "nightclub" in the most vocal end of the ground with the easiest DJ number going.
Hard to build an atmosphere when they are pumping out pop songs full blast. This should be a city square thing post match

I think we miss Savhino waving his arms

I’d be hard pushed to name a premier league ground that would have a good atmosphere for a 3pm KO v wolves. Villa maybe because it’s a derby

when the kippax got demolished that was it. Never the same again.

North stand and Kippax AA lower tried but small numbers stood up in seats. Plus the shit from stewards to sit down for years.

 

[Ardwick Alan]

The number of people on their phones during the game is baffling

Very true. The PA blitzes any chance of a atmosphere building. Just turn the f**ker off and once our ears have stopped bleeding we may have a chance.

They have tried that multiple times at fans request and the result was complete silence in the stadium pre match, it did nothing to improve the atmosphere at all. Most recently this season the game after the Derby, with it having been moditvely successful for the Derby itself it had no impact the game after so they reverted to turning the volume up again.

Worst knee-jerk decision in football history that was. Made even worse by fans having to sit in allocated seats.

Think City must have the loudest PA in football. Ridiculously loud, can't even speak to the person next to you

We’ve got 8000 safe standing seats, give or take, with 3000 more to follow. Just because a seat is folded back behind them doesn’t mean fans can’t sing.

Small Ultra ends in Europe with only room for 1000 fans create more noise and atmosphere than we do across the Etihad.

The Voice of the Etihad.

He’s got his own Instagram page and somebody films him whilst he is doing the player announcements, and after a player scores a goal. Then he does high 5’s, fist pumps, and celebrates his announcements afterwards. It’s pathetic.

Watch the videos if you can arsed?

Get your point however on The old Kippax it was stand where the fuck you wanted so gangs of blues stood with each other.........That made the area louder and more mental. Not mixed in with tourists or sensitive supporters who don't like singing and swearing etc.

It was loads of loons packed together. All knew each other.

Rail seating was a good thing but nothing compared to turn up on the day, pay next to fuck all and stand with your mates going mental. Unless it was Arsenal and we were getting hammered or a poorly supported club who added fuck all. Even Maine Road could be a library.
