If they can not create good atmosphere without a drum are they really as good as people make out watched Galatasaray yesterday whole ground singing and stood up all 90 minutes great atmosphere no drum so much more respect for teams like thatNewcastle have allowed Dortmund fans to bring a drum, maybe 2 drums into the ground. It’s being banged non-stop and it’s absolutely killing then Newcastle atmosphere. The Geordies can’t get a song going. I remember Dortmund doing that to us when they came to the Etihad until City stopped CL away fans/Ultras bringing drums into the Etihad.
It’s been so much better without drums at the Etihad. The nights have been much more enjoyable.Newcastle have allowed Dortmund fans to bring a drum, maybe 2 drums into the ground.

I only watched the game on tele last night.Didn’t think Young Boys’ fans were anything special. Just the same kind of songs to the same tunes as everyone else like them going back decades. No originality with any of them outside Italy (oh and Copenhagen who had some original tunes I’d not heard before).
The lyrics to one of their chants tonight was, ‘allez allez allez oh oh oh allez allez allez oh oh oh allez allez allez oh oh oh allez allez allez oh oh oh’… ooh catchy that lads!
People reacting to what is happening on the pitch rather than the manufactured chanting or disappearing for a pint 10 minutes before half time.I was interested to see the Free Palestine stuff at Celtic Park, so I watched the players coming onto the pitch and UCL anthem etc. I have to say, their atmosphere on a European night is really special. Far, far, far better than anything else in the UK (e.g. famous European nights at Anfield).
I know they have the ultras side of things, but I think it's the traditional stuff that does it for me. Jeering, cheering, booing, shouting, standing up etc. I imagine that's what a brilliant atmosphere in the 70s would have been like across the UK.
Remember Paul Lake testimonial when rags England contingent were given a standing ovation when the GPC took them off. Always been a strong Queen and Country tradition at City. Though having screamed with joy when Beckham scored a last minute goal to get us to the world cup final, a moment later i was shouting fuck off Beckham fortunatley my local was full of scousers so got no grief. LOVE ENGLAND HATE UNITED PLAYERSI don’t agree with that. Manchester is rammed when England are playing in major tournaments. Way more then when city or United play.
As above there are lots of city fans who attend England games. I know blues who hated the likes or Rooney or scholes, but most are there to support England, not individual players
They have no love for City in my expierienceI was interested to see the Free Palestine stuff at Celtic Park, so I watched the players coming onto the pitch and UCL anthem etc. I have to say, their atmosphere on a European night is really special.
