Atmosphere 2024/25

[NJMCFC184]

You were not there yesterday.

I was there with the flag wavers so yea I was there.

He's right the south stand was thre emptiest part of the stadium up to and past kick off yesterday .

Yeah not sure why but the whole of 114/115 is not 1894 only.

Atmosphere worst at the Emirates today for a local derby

You can't measure an atmosphere by Arsenal and Chelsea fans. ;-)

I can hear them, Arsenal, Arsenal, Arsenal. Stop!

Yeah what I will say is when you see City/united/Liverpool/Arsenal away they have a variation of songs, Chelsea have none

Thank you. We were amazed as we could hear Brighton fans singing and no one in the South Stand. Right up to 3pm.

That is not Khaldoon or the Clubs fault.
It is the peoples choice. The Tourist end was full and made some noise at least.

I think Asa’s on about the people at the front of 115 (nothing to do with 1894 I think) who turn up between kick off and 5 past?

Apologies if I am wrong.

I sensed for the first time, possibly, that the South stand as a whole had given up supporting the team yesterday . Yes they were pockets of fans and chants throughout the match, but as a whole, the South stand was very quiet for most of the game.

I thought the Brighton fans on L1 were great. On of the best at the Etihad this season. They had quite a big group of lads at the back of the away end singing constantly, that spread to to the Brighton fans below. Not having SSL3 certainly worked in their favour. It didn’t dilute or spread the Brighton singers over 3 tiers, with a full allocation.

They had all three tiers

Arsenal 1 - 0 Chelsea. 2 minutes to go.

Silence. Empty seats. People leaving.

They had all three tiers

OK.

Apologies if I am wrong.

You were generous saying these people turned up before kick off mate. I think the front half of the block are the rows that would have been full with 1894 friends but the singers decided to go to SS Level 3 when cheaper tickets were announced, when Level 3 opened.

They did and like last season their away support is excellent.

As ours is away from home.

Bit frightened to be totally honest-;)

Tourists can only get tickets because Blues are not buying them. I have noticed around me a number of older fans not going anymore and those seats now have different people in them every game. Some are City fans and others just experience hunters.

That’s not true.

There is no staggered windows of sales for City fans. Anyone can sign up as a member and buy a ticket for any match ahead of anyone.

Then there are these club worldwide ticket tout partners:

Safe Ticket Buying | Manchester City

Manchester City Football Club promotes safe ticket buying. We encourage you not to purchase from unofficial channels to avoid invalid tickets. Learn more.

www.mancity.com

And when you go onto those sites, anybody from anywhere in the world can buy them, City fans or not.

I don't get the 'chatting' to celebrates etc, it's just a fucking noise can't understand a fucking word. It's to loud, echos and as much as I like Natalie Pike her voice over the PA is like nails down a chalkboard

It’s TV geared guff forced on us in the ground. We don’t need any of it.

Just stick some goals on the screens and bang some tunes out of the speakers. Kill the cheese, ditch the inane drivel.

Hopefully everyone's spirits will pick up if we get cleared of 115. Of course, the ticketing and tourist stuff will still remain a sore point, but at least the match going mood will be better....well maybe not:)

Typical City suggests we'll make a huge fuss about winning the 115 cases, have everyone in a great mood at kick-off, and be 3-0 down 20 minutes later.

A few in here have said it and I tend to agree it’s starting to feel like you’re not at a city game at the etihad anymore more like a neutral. The atmosphere is absolute dross
