Your opinionI think great is stretching it.

Probably felt better than it was due to arresting the slump, a good night nonetheless.I think great is stretching it.
They was the same last year as wellAgreed, usually forest are some of the better away fans to come to the Etihad, but didn't hear a peep out of them last night
I've just had a look and you're right, the fixture I was impressed with them was 2 years ago when we beat them 6-0. Although that was one of their first away games after being promoted so its expected.They was the same last year as well
Shift them down to the shit, wet seats in ESL110/111.Probably in response to City fans singing "You cheating bastards, you know what you are" at their ground last season. I wouldn't take it too seriously to be honest.
I thought the atmosphere was pretty good for most of the game last night, despite the no shows. Difficult to gauge it for sure when underneath the overhang of SS1 Block 115(!) as it's normally loud in that part of the ground but I noticed there were plenty of chants starting from elsewhere that spread. Couldn't really hear the Forest fans too much but again, it's not the best place for hearing the away fans where I was. Maybe they were louder than I thought?

Shit views,shit acoustics.
CITY fans only in SS 3/2.
Wait until all of SS3/2 is given to the salford heathens for the cup game.
I dont know of any other club who gives up their home end for away supporters.
Shocking arrangements.....it should be City fans first, not last.

If the away fans are shifted down to ESL110/111/SSL1, (shit wet seats,shit views,shit acoustics) and all City fans up to SSL3/2 ( dry seats,great views,good acoustics), you'll rarely hear any away fans and City fans will be making a right racket.I thought it was a good atmosphere last night. Obviously there was the element of wanting to arrest the slump, but one of the things that affected it was the quiet away end. Once that happens then the other areas of the ground can hear the singing areas and join in and it happened a lot last night - the right songs spread around the ground. It wasn't a cacophony but it was a good midweek league atmosphere.
