Atmosphere 2024/25

[give it to gordon]

The only way fans can get the club to listen is to boycot a game have 4 or 5 stadiums around the country virtually empty. Imagine 40k empty seats at arsenal spurs west ham City rags liverpool??

Would we notice at City

I’ve already mentioned to United’s The58 group of fans on X, that we should target a boycott of the next Manchester derby at Old Trafford. We’ve got about 12 weeks before that game, it might be too soon, but then again might not.

Imagine if we could get a mass boycott of that game. It would be huge.

First sensible response to one of my posts on the atmosphere. The club needs to facilitate some things though. An organised singing section obviously. Expedite service for food and drink at half time.

The one that annoys me is a guy on my row who arrives late to his seat, leaves early at half time, late back after half time and leaves early. He must go to the urinals three times at least during the match too. His seat is in the middle of the fucking row! If that were me I’d at least have the decency to ask the club for an aisle seat.

I don’t believe any club in this country has a great atmosphere every game though. We have a great record v West Ham and once we were 2-0 the crowd sensed it was over. Every game will have it’s nuances and creating this atmosphere will take 90 plus minutes of constant commitment from a significant number of people.

The 'organised singing section' is easy.....make SSL3/2 exclusively a City end.

8000 City fans under the acoustic roof.... = ....a racket !!

Acoustic roof is key. The acoustics are a major part of the problem

We’ve had an organised singing section in SSL1 114-118 since 2016.

The next one we need to concentrate on is the new NSL2.

We’ve been banging the atmosphere drum on here for years. Bar the odd request that has been granted by the club, like turning the music off before the United match, the club haven’t listened to the fans requests.

TBH, the club can’t be faulted with the displays and helping financially and with staff so the displays can be done.

The final nail in the atmosphere coffin for me was the North stand and how it’s turned out, which is more about generating match day revenue, than it is about improving the atmosphere at the Etihad.

It was obvious from the PA that the new North stand was and is weighted in favour of match day revenue, when it could have been weighted equally between match day revenue and the atmosphere.

I appreciate the club want a return of the North stand investment, and want to increase match day revenue, but in that sense, they have gone too far with the new North stand layout and seating configuration.(still to be confirmed and made public by City)

I honestly think the lack of atmosphere from the new North stand will be evident once it’s open, full, and fully operational. I expect the first couple of games to be loud. After that, and when fans settle into their seats, the atmosphere generated by the new North stand won’t make any difference to the general atmosphere at the Etihad, bar the usual big games against United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, and maybe Spurs. But the North stand tills will be ringing loud and proud!

.....and thats the whole point !!

Down in 110,111,113 etc you can hardly hear a peep cos the acoustics are shit and so are some of the embarrassing songs **.

Under the acoustic roof of SSL3, noise is louder clearer and travels further for longer !!

** "Weve scored a goal,
How shit must we be,
Goin down with a & billion,
Empty seats at home" etc and et al.

How the fuck is shit like that supposed to motivate the team. It makes us an embarrassing laughing stock.

We need more of ...
" Your'e goin home in a fucking ambulance,
Beat em on de head,
We do not carry razors" etc

That’s never going to happen.

I’m in an OSC.

Demand for an away derby ticket is 3 or 4 times more than the the branch is allocated.

I know for a fact not one branch member would boycott United away if they can get a ticket.

And if they did, another branch member would snap that ticket up. Thank you! :-)

Now times that by every OSC branch that applies for their share of away derby tickets.
