Atmosphere - 2023/24

[pride in battle]

I don’t wanna hang on until it gets to the point where I start really disliking what we’ve become. It’s like a marriage where you’re unhappy but you still love her, it’s better to bail before the simmering resentment turns to hatred

Close the door on your way out...

 

[pride in battle]

I agree, but I've still never had the same feeling at the Etihad. It's an age thing. :-)

[East Level 2]

That’s one of the reasons why the face to face meetings with the fans was stopped. All the Legacy and FOC’s ever did was complain. ;-) You could see the City representatives thinking here we go again. :-(

There are two ways you can look at complaints. They can be viewed as whinging, or they can be looked at as extremely experienced fans, making some valid points amongst the whinging, that could be used to improve things. Every meeting in whatever concept is usually a lot of pointing out things that people are not happy with and/or can be improved.

The reason the City representatives thought "here we go again" was because they never answered the questions asked by the fans.
And when they held consultations they ignored concerns raised, hence why we have a silent hospitality bit in the middle of SS2 which is supposed to be a section generating noise. - Joe's and 93:20 should have been at the north end as the second tiers on the east and CB stands did add a bit to the atmosphere.

Memories maybe - subjective of course - Atmosphere - debatable

Maine Road could be shite, same as the Etihad

The atmosphere is only good on certain games. Maine Road was hardly rocking at home to Southampton or Coventry for example. I think time means nostalgia takes over. Without Environmental Health providing comparable acoustic readings we will never know!

It's always been like that, Maine Road the same, stop making scapegoats.

Really? Perhaps I didn’t hear City fans in the Kippax, the North stand, the Platt Lane, and the Gene Kelly singing? :-)

How can I be making scapegoats if it’s the truth?

Ask Pep why he was trying to get the CBS and other parts of the Etihad to sing and to support the team against Liverpool. On-going.

Why do Newcastle fans support, sing, and create an atmosphere in all 4 of stands and we don’t, bar for the biggest games like Arsenal and Real Madrid last season?

It’s not about making scapegoats or sayin SSL1 is better than other stands and tiers, it‘s about wanting as many city fans as possible in every stand to join in supporting the team, instead of sitting their in complete silence, looking at their mobiles, taking videos, taking pictures, taking selfies, etc.

Look at our away support which is mostly Legacy, FOC’s and local City fans, it’s superb. It’s one of the best away supports in the country. Our away support only dips now and again in London as more away tickets tent to find their way to tourists and day trippers. Which has also happened at United and Liverpool.

It was against Spurs in the FA Cup. Ask the grounds man and GMP. ;-)

I don’t think the Etihad is any worse or better than any other stadium in respect of atmosphere

I was there!
