Atmosphere Thread | 2025/26

It was like the club were trolling us yesterday
A big centre circle banner pre match touting Etihad Airways’ black Friday sale, a stream from the far east of fans watching the TV, and the return of that annoying ginger kid, reborn as a half time pundit

You’ve just reminded of that. What on earth was that?!

 

[Didsbury Dave]

I’ve noticed that as well. I’ve attended a few county games and the demographic of fans going is so much younger than our regular match going fanbase. You’ll see large groups of young lads going.

I haven’t seen that at the etihad in years. The average age of our fans must be 60s and above?

Some creative thinking with the new stand can encourage that generation to come. Sell them cheap season tickets and call it an atmosphere end. It would solve so many problems all at once.

County is much cheaper and they have a ground big enough for everyone who wants a ticket.

I was mostly basing that comment on what I was told by a LFC fan who said it felt intimidating at the Etihad for them because they had noisy City fans on both sides of them. But of course these days the Liverpool match is usually noisier than the United game so is not the best example to use.

Yeah I'm sure it's intimidating at times definitely in that bottom tier away end. Saying that, I doubt any Leeds fans felt intimidated down there yesterday!

Well this just got spicy. Real muddy waters on what has actually gone on here so hard to really hold an opinion until the truth comes out.

Someone isn't being truthful here though, and if it's the club then there's going to be a big stink kicked up and rightly so.

I believe Tim of the Oak who comes across as a stand up guy and has no reason to lie rather than some paid lackey at City parroting bullshit to fob people off

I had four Leeds fans in front of me yesterday. Which didn't help with my negative feelings towards the game.

Yup Tim does seem genuine.

I think it’s time we give the torches a go all over the ground and get behind the 3rd tiers

And a drum, don’t forget the drum

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

The broken leg part should be easy enough to verify anyway. The rest is a bit of a mess we'll probably need to hear what the 2 City fans arrested have to say.

 

[wattle]

So many are lazy though. I see them with my own eyes. They’re all around me. Lads, women of all ages, not just those who’re getting older. I’m not talking plastics here. Regular fans who can’t be arsed. Others try to start songs and they don’t join in. There’s literally no excuse IMO. It’s down to the majority of fans in that stadium.

I agree 100% about enabling groups of younger Blues to sit together though.

It’s human nature I recon. We’ve been spoilt so much over the decade and won absolutely everything. It’s incredibly hard not to get spoilt and expect it forever. We’re now a good premier league team , but not head and shoulders above the rest anymore and it’s difficult to re adjust, even for us old ‘uns. When fans eventually realise the reality the atmosphere might get better again. I might be talking bollox as usual, but that’s what I recon

Ginger kid? Not that privileged (By City) Braydon?

I get what you’re saying, but the atmosphere was pretty crap before all the success as well. At least since we moved to the etihad

We have the odd season or 6 or 7 league games a season where we are excellent

 

[Hes the left back remember]

Bought a membership for my 5 year old grandson 3 weeks ago and tried to buy ticket which is empty next to me in CB 3 for game but wouldn’t let me as he had not attended enough games? How is he Suppose to if they won’t sell ticket? Trying again for next match . Was occupied by a Leeds fan who had a Leeds mate 2 rows in front. Unusually for Leeds he was ok we chatted and he quiet
When they scored

I dunno. I remember it being a lot better but maybe that’s because I was a lot younger and joined in a lot more. I’m in 009 next to the away fans and yesterday was just an odd atmosphere. The first two goals were greeted with a muted “celebration” It was just odd. Obviously everyone went mad for the winner which made everything worth while

 

[Sheik Battle and Goal]

Exactly. Young kids can’t afford £35 for the membership of being given the opportunity to buy a ticket for £30, £40. So they go to somewhere more affordable and have a laugh with their mates on a Saturday afternoon.
Hence a generation of future fans lost. Same at Utd as well.

 

[uwerosler28]

You’ve just reminded of that. What on earth was that?!

Some.weird fan zone they had set up and sent gobshite Pike over to run, looked so fake not sure what the point was?

 

[mcfcstu]

Its absolutely crap, im actually having trouble enjoying home matches atm. I sit in South Stand 3 towards the back where its probably the best atmosphere in the stadium but its still not great. I fancied a change for Leverkuson so I moved to level 1 Colin Bell and I honestly wanted to leave after 20 minutes it was that bad. Not only was the atmosphere rubbish but the people around me asking questions like.. Are you a City supporter? Is Foden playing? Also had a foreign Liverpool supporter sat next to us! What is going on at this club.

Apart from the hundreds of half and half scarfs in North stand Level 0 so guy even wandered through stewards and through turnstiles wearing a Celtic scarf.

It was reported on here yesterday by a regular in that block that of the 3 involved 1 was a Yorkshire city season ticket holder and the other 2 were his Leeds supporting friends he had brought to the game. Now if it's the season ticket holder who ended up giving another blue a pasting then technically city's response is correct , however it doesn't take away the fact it was allowing the away fans in the area that caused the problem. The club are hiding behind semantics to avoid accountability which is a cunts trick but will probably mean it all gets swept under the carpet.

 

[Manc Born & Bred]

Loads in Joes apparently according to someone actually in there who I spoke to earlier. So that’s a fact rather than a bullshit Twitter statement by the club.

 

[Didsbury Dave]

I can tell you for a fact that Leeds United have had loads of problems with away fans creating incidents in corporate areas at Elland Road.
