The club should at least look at it and evaluate the idea.(not because I’ve posted it) But because it would benefit the club. Some benefits. Having more seats on L2 that they could sell for higher prices, instead of £30 in the away section on SSL2. Having 1000+ extra seats on SSL3 making 6000 City fans up there. The away fans would all be on L1 meaning less stewarding than having the away fans over 3 SS levels. And the improved atmosphere inside the Etihad that would follow.

It's definitely something they should look into. It increases the ability for us to enhance the atmosphere and makes things more intimidating for the away fans. Having said that, our home record is excellent and we've got an incredible record at home. The atmosphere is pretty special on big nights. Yesterday was much like when Liverpool came to town in January a few years ago and we were bang up for it. And for Arsenal in the crunch game last season. It's tough for the away fans to get much going when they're split over a few tiers.

If the 109/111 guys want to stay close to the away fans, offer them the most suitable available seats with an incentive or first choice of seats in SS3 or NS2.

This should be taken on by City Matters & 1894 as part of the wider NS discussion.

I can't see any/many issues with this change from a segregation,security or logistics perspective and the club should use this one off opportunity to make all and any changes that will benefit the atmosphere, fans and matchday experience.

There will always be City fans who will sell their away tickets. But I think the vast majority who do get away tickets go. United away being a good example this season. This is definitely the case in the OSC branches. Everyone who get’s a ticket in the OSC branch I’m in goes. But more and more away tickets are some how ending up on ticket resale websites. City need to look into this, but I don’t think they will. Maybe the new Ticket Compliance Manger might do that?

Imagine all the away fans stuck in the ESL1 corner, with basically 2 home ends, one at the other end of the pitch, and another to the left of them, looming over them.

I get the impression the club isn’t concerned about that.

They want the tourists who will pay top dollar for tickets and spend £250 at the club shop.

The legacy fans aren’t even on the radar.

Its a fair point. Aside from Blue Moon a lot of our 'terrace' songs do require bit of knowledge & probably not that easy to pick up should you be new to it which judging by some of the comments in the away end yesterday were quite a few.

'The greatest team you'll ever see' chant to the 'Is this the Way to Amarillo' tune I always felt is a great song to get going especially in the away end as its fairly simple & gets loud everyone chanting at the same time on most of the words.

Strangely, I find myself both agreeing and disagreeing at the same time.
The tune you've described is also one of my favourites. but it's more of a celebratory song that we can use at various times during the season.

Anfield required something more inspirational yesterday, especially during the last ten minutes, when the team was under the cosh. However, I don't think any of our songs are particularly suited for that situation.

As I stated previously, it doesn't really matter what we think, because Liverpool truly believe that their "Ole Ole" anthem can lift the players, and in a strange way it reminded me of "Vamos Argentina" in the World Cup.

Of course, we all know that it was a one-off and Anfield will be quiet for their next game. However, we can't deny that their support was deafening towards the end.

"We Love You City" worked very well when i got it going in a crunch game at Goodison Park, when Edin had sat on his arse feigning injury for 5 minutes.

To be honest I felt like Sergeant Neil Howie in the Wicker Man at Anfield yesterday with Christopher Jurgen Lee leading the scarf-waving satanic masses and me singing about Barry Conlon whilst suffering a burning, sacrificial death.

Presumably, by tourists we are including the away tickets that go to hospitality?

I've just received an email from City, offering a place on next seasons "seasonal hospitality" waiting list. Amongst the various benefits, the email offers priority access to away tickets (subject to availability). I've filled the form in, and when I get my phone call, my first question will be about the availability of away tickets for Rags, Dippers and Tarquins. I think we all know the answer.

Interesting that none of the day trippers can seem to figure out the words to "Oh Kevin De Bruyne"
 
This song might be a bit upbeat for us but it gets the fans going in the San Siro and is a big hit on social media.

Need to kick it up a notch if we can. Last year atmosphere felt special and I think it helped the lads. Need to get more songs going - Ruben Dias chant, Bernardo chant, Ederson chant, boys in blue excellent as is follow follow, hate that champions again shite, bluemoon needs to be banged out en masse
 
How I long for the days of watching the match from the top left hand corner of the Kippax. We would score a goal you would end up 20 metres from your pal that you had just been stood next to.
You cannot replicate that. I watched the Wigan play off semi on a big screen at Maine Rd and there was more atmosphere than you see today. I might start a thread to see who else watched it on the Big telly at Maine Rd.

I'm buzzing we're actually in a title race. There are going to be some brilliant atmospheres at the Etihad between now and the end of May.

One thing we can say is that when City need us, we do tend to respond.

We’ve got some cracking games coming up not even taking into account what might happen in the Champions League.

The Liverpool, Arsenal, Munich and Madrid games were fantastic last year. We brought the atmosphere and can do the same again!

There's no club in England with an atmosphere like Athletico tonight against Inter. Shithouse of a club, but the place is absolutely hopping.

I remember going there a few seasons ago when we drew 0-0. Atmosphere was top class
