They’ve never had a vociferous set of fans at Leicester. Even when they were going for the title it was all those happy clappers, and they have a poor songbook.We take a lot of crap about our home atmosphere and beat ourselves up about it too, but that was shocking from Leicester today. They're fighting at the bottom of the league, they're playing the champions at home who are in poor form, they're only a goal down and they're playing alright and having chances. Yet for 80-90% of the game all you could hear was City fans.
Well done to all blues who went, I've said it before and I'll say it again, our away support at it's best is unmatched by anyone.
Nope. If they were given the corner in the Etihad it would feel more similar to an away end at Arsenal or Spurs, which are almost impossible to get anything going.But the configuration of our loud and proud away fans today (corner pitch side) is exactly what you’re proposing to create for away fans at the Etihad?
It still amazes me how you can't see the difference between an away end like at Leicester today, which has great acoustics, or one at wolves, which has terrible acoustics.Can we just give up on this acoustics bollocks it's a proven fact the Etihad can produce great intimidating atmospheres, Hamburg ,Madrid, First Derby ect, its down to the fans to create it but sadly we don't have many who are up for it during your standard Prem game.

It’s all about the roof.It still amazes me how you can't see the difference between an away end like at Leicester today, which has great acoustics, or one at wolves, which has terrible acoustics.
It's not a glamour game, more fans get tickets because corporate don't take up as many tickets, it's the same for Palace awayBecause we are in shit seats with shit acoustics at those and other grounds, which is why i promote the changes to the set up in SSL3/2 & ESL110/111.
The location/position of home/away fans plays a huge part in generating an atmosphere.
Don't underestimate it !!
I am not interested in either stadium, the subject was about home support and I can categorically say that the Etihad in its current set up and configuration is able to generate a hostile, loud intimidating home atmosphere, the caveat is that the fans have to be arsed to deliver it and more often that not they aren't.It still amazes me how you can't see the difference between an away end like at Leicester today, which has great acoustics, or one at wolves, which has terrible acoustics.
Exactly, does my head in how some people can't get their head around itIt’s all about the roof.
So what happened to the roof for the Hamuburg hame was it changed as a one off measure?It’s all about the roof.
