Atmosphere 2024/25

[BlueMoonRisin’]

I've been in lots of different blocks over the years all over the stadium but against Sparta I was in 219 for the first time. I noticed different singing sections more than any other game. Songs starting in South stand lower, kippax corner and South stand level 3. Some songs didn't catch on in other parts of the stadium, dome did but were often out of sync.

I think we have plenty of singers but the problem is they're all scattered about in different stands. Hopefully the north stand extension will resolve this and unify the singers, hopefully.

I didn’t go yesterday but the atmosphere sounded pretty good on iptv.

I know the atmosphere has been piss poor at times at home this season but in terms of excitement, so have the games. That said, I have just watched Arsenal Liverpool and thought the atmosphere was appalling. Very quiet for a lot of the game from both sets of fans. At least during most big games we are very good.

Bigger the game, bigger the atmosphere, always been that way for all clubs.

2. Drop ticket prices back under inflation and get the working class diehards back in. The best years the Etihad has ever seen for atmosphere were between 2009 and 2014, after the takeover and before the third tier was put on the South Stand. The Poznan Years, as they've been dubbed by others. That was because tickets were still affordable for people who remembered Maine Road - and the lower prices also encouraged young people aged 18-21 to get to games. Kids tickets were £95 for the season. The kind of demographic going to City games now is more monied but less energetic.

The old working class diehards.
I'm working class and my season works out at under £27 per game.
Champions League just paid £25' for the Fyenoord game.
I would say that's working class prices

I think you're sadly one of the few people left in the stadium whose season ticket works out at less than £35 per game.

i'm never too sure what to make of this argument, how noise generation and passion is somehow linked to your 'class' (a term i bloody hate, but anyways....)

I understand the gentrification of football might create transient visitors (especially foreign holiday trippers or rich experience grabbers), which might not give you lots of emotionally invested supporters, but i see people of all backgrounds contributing to atmospheres, or not contributing !! , it doesn't seem to me to be simply 'give it back to working class'.

i dunno what i am, and i dont care, but i go along and shout quite a lot and have to put up with 'Working Class Wilf' next to me doing nothing but fucking complain constantly under his breath and then leaving on 80 because everything is 'shit these days'.

I’m in the same boat, but it’s the exception not the rule.
They offer up a few limited cheap season tickets so that when media outlets print the cheapest available league tables, City can say “look at us, we’ve got one of the cheapest season tickets in the PL” when in reality the vast majority of people are paying significantly more.

Count me in.

I hope Claudio Echeverri will be prepared for the atmosphere at the Etihad when he joins in January after the sedate quiet night he had at River Plate last night !
