It doesn't matter whether your interested in these stadiums or not, the fact is the difference proves that your point about acoustics not making a difference are simply false.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.
I was referring to away grounds that I've experienced not the Etihad. Apologies if you think it's bollox.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.
Genuine question, have you ever been to another stadium?So what happened to the roof for the Hamuburg hame was it changed as a one off measure?
That will be down to the demographic of fans who attend those fixtures, you are conveniently ignoring the inly fact in thus entire conversation, that the Etihad in its current set up has on more than 1 occasions generated the atmosphere people crave , anything else being discussed is purely theoreticalIt doesn't matter whether your interested in these stadiums or not, the fact is the difference proves that your point about acoustics not making a difference are simply false.
Do you think it's a coincidence that every year we have a fantastic away support at Leicester, but seem to be awful at West Ham or Wolves.
Now apply this same logic to the Etihad
Multiple over many years.Genuine question, have you ever been to another stadium?
If you have, has it ever occurred to you that the sound seems to travel round different stadiums differently based on how the stadium is built?
That's one of the first things I noticed when I started following city away
Okay ever noticed at anfield how if a few people start singing at the back of the kop the whole ground can hear it and all of a sudden the whole ground is singing in unison?That will be down to the demographic of fans who attend those fixtures, you are conveniently ignoring the inly fact in thus entire conversation, that the Etihad in its current set up has on more than 1 occasions generated the atmosphere people crave , anything else being discussed is purely theoretical
Fuck all to do with roofs if everyone makes the effort. Plenty of grounds around the world without a roof that provide immense atmospheres. I’ve been to the etihad numerous times when we’ve created a fantastic atmosphere. We just don’t do it as a collective week in week out. This clip of boca versus river plate is immense and not a single roof ever built. It’s about effort and everyone joining in and making the atmosphere what it is.
Disagree.We were in the same position in a corner at the King Power today, making an absolute racket as one mass of fans, as you want to put them in the Etihad.
Away fans are in the perfect spot at the Etihad. There hasn’t been a decent set of away fans come to ours for years, because they’re disjointed due to being split up in a thin slither across three tiers and none of the tiers are ever singing the same song at the same time as any of their other tiers.
We don’t want to be putting away fans into one area where they’ll be one big voice at the Etihad.
Multiple over many years.
Makes a huge difference. Nobody stood next to me with phones out all match. Nobody sat in half and half scarves.I didn't see a single tourist. It showed in our support today at Leicester.
FACT -:Okay ever noticed at anfield how if a few people start singing at the back of the kop the whole ground can hear it and all of a sudden the whole ground is singing in unison?
However at the Etihad we've got 3 different singing sections who can't hear one another, making it pretty much impossible to sing in one voice.
Yes in very exceptional circumstances like Hamburg or Madrid this doesn't matter as much as enough of the ground is up for it that it's easier to create that one voice.
If you really have visited other grounds, which I'm sure you have, I really am struggling to see how you can't get your head round this
100%.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.
I know you get the people who don't think acoustics matters, but being under a roof makes such a massive difference, today is yet another proof of that
True.Makes a huge difference. Nobody stood next to me with phones out all match. Nobody sat in half and half scarves.
Just hardcore blues who wanted to support their team in the best way possible.
still doesn’t stop “mr city (mancitytickets)” creating his new telegram where he now gives paying subscribers the chance to get tickets easier… £5 entry, no vetting, no fuckin true idea who is actually in it (whether that’s rags, scousers or tourists).Makes a huge difference.

I've seen him a few times this season so he definitely still goesstill doesn’t stop “mr city (mancitytickets)” creating his new telegram where he now gives paying subscribers the chance to get tickets easier… £5 entry, no vetting, no fuckin true idea who is actually in it (whether that’s rags, scousers or tourists).
think after a time where people are outraged at the hike in season card prices, this prick might think different. haven’t seen him at any aways this season, so good riddance. maybe he can’t get any bits on his own site.
I’d be interested to know when the tickets went on sale for this one.Best away atmosphere today of the season by a million miles.
No fucking tourists. No half and half wank scarves
Proper away end with people who should be in the away end.
