Etihad atmosphere

Your on cloud 9 m8! The noise levels were abysmal for first game of the season it was disgusting quite frankly embarrassing! As for people smoking in the toilets it was always very traditional for people to smoke cigars at the football surely you could have used another set of toilets or suffered just for a couple of seconds!!

Wumming is not allowed.
 
reality is we wait expectantly for brilliant football these days, we're often like fans who watch on TV. We're watching. Back in the days when we were shit we didn't want to watch because we were shit so made an atmosphere and had a sing-song, these days at home the priority is watching the action and singing comes second.
Haha well put, that's exactly the impression I get too.
 
Until we're doing a 90 minute Poznan or got some tw@t with a megaphone leading us in a chanting riverdane, the "atmosphere" thread will continue to moan about thin non issue.

This is the whole point it's a non issue to you to others maybe not, tad strange that you're that apathetic to it you're posting on the thread

It wasn't abysmal and you've totally lost me about the smoking????

That's pretty accurate. We go there and expect to be entertained these days whereas back in the day we had to make our own entertainment.

If everyone was sat in their seat for 90 mins I might agree but as always a good number spend as much time in the back as they do watching the game.
 
The majority of our match going fanbase are in their 80's - what do people expect.. :-)

I wouldn't say in their 80s but when in that big queue in the south stand waiting to be patted down I looked around and our match day support seems to be really old. We seem to have very few fans in the 16-25 age bracket which might be an explanation for the abysmal atmosphere.

Sounded fine in parts where I was sitting

As for me putting up with the passive smoking in the toilets (which is illegal by the way) a side effect of drinking is I need a piss sometimes.. Perhaps the smokers wouldn't mind if I pissed on them in exchange for their stench landing on me?

As I said it's two hours out of their lives without a cig so surely they can abstain for that period.. The answer is they can but they choose to play the ignorant bastard card and pollute my (our) airspace

selfish barsteward.
 
dog shit in top tier of south stand today. cant be arsed reading the previous stuff i i expect the comments to be on the same track.
moaned at for singing and standing off some new comer behind but to the other extreme the lad in front got booted for being absolutley smashed.....fell over 3 times and could barely stand so he didnt have to witness that crap.....thats what im doing next game.
 
Atmosphere was fine today. It's been much worse in the past.

It was 1-0 for a long time, and that gives rise to a bit of uncertainty too, and by the time they sucker punched us to 1-1 you'd expect a certain amount of deflation.

You can't trust TV sound, there are way too many factors involved in how they mic up the crowd to ever use that as a measure.

Excuses as expected
