There’s no atmosphere culture within our fanbase, stadium or club. We manage fine for atmosphere when everyone’s up for it and create a great atmosphere for the biggest games (although that’s disappeared since the run-in of the 2022-23 season). But generally, we have nothing like other sets of fans, stadiums or clubs have in terms of set up.
We don’t have an atmosphere stand at the Etihad (a small number of blocks within a huge stand that dwarfs it, is not a stand).
Even where there are a few dedicated blocks, none of them are areas where vocal fans populate early doors before kick off and build songs and atmosphere in the stands from there.
Our away ticket allocations to proper fans are getting smaller as well which reduces the amount of people who get to go to away games where most songs originate.
We’ve barely got any pubs around the ground anymore so there’s nowhere near enough social hubs for City fans pre/post-games to get songs going, we have no meet-up areas in Town where Blues gather pre/post-games to get songs going, we have nothing like a ‘Boss Nights’ like Liverpool fans have.
There are no proper videos of our home singing sections or away games that are filmed and posted regularly on social media.
We don’t have a TV channel that could have song shows on (MUTV has a United songs show, over the years on that show there’s been some of the most cringeworthy television ever made, however it works because songs are learnt and do take off).
All of this means the amount of our fanbase who are regularly exposed to our songs are a very small percentage of the overall fanbase.
Anyone slightly interested in creating an atmosphere needs to commandeer the new NSL2 and make that our vocal stand.
Fans should aim to get to the seats in that new NSL2 half an hour before games kick off and start building the atmosphere from the stands there.
We need to demand that the club stop dishing out our away allocations to utter nobodies and get more proper City fans attending with better priced tickets for home games.
We should have meet ups in Town at places like Shambles Square and Cutting Room Square before big games.
For big games we should organise with the club for a professional camera (not a hand held phone) to video our singing sections and away sections and put footage on a fan lead channel, and where the atmosphere is good and consistent, have videos with the words to songs at the bottom so the songs get out to the masses… and no pointless concourse shite.
We need to do more to get more of our fans exposed to more of our songs.
