Atmosphere Thread | 2025/26

There might have been nothing from the singing section, but there was also nothing from 3/4’s of the Etihad as well.10,000’s of City fans sat in silence. All the singing or the majority of the singing doesn’t always have to come from 6000 City fans on SSL1. There are another 43,000 City fans inside the Etihad. Whereas at Leeds fans standing and sitting in all 4 of their stands joined in with the singing throughout the match. The constant blaming of the singing section and SSL1 in particular throughout the season had become predictable, tedious and boring. Look at the other 3 stands for a change, bar blocks 111, 110, and 109, who do try and get songs going as well during games.

It wasn’t bad in SSL3 last night, you always seem to leave us out when you say where the noise comes from. That said I agree with the rest of your point.

That’s the problem with a big stadium, and it’ll get worse next year. You get a lot of people not that arsed that come along, there was an article this week about Elland Road being the best home ground for atmosphere in England. A member of the official Leeds supporters club said, which I thought was interesting, that he’s not entirely in favour of the expansion, as it could dilute the passion of the crowd if a few hangers on turn up. At the moment they have 35,000 die hard Leeds fans, no cameras, no half and half scarves, not many early leavers, they fill it every week (appreciate they didn’t in the past) and when you go you just know everyone there is a proper long term fan.

I agree. Some people have legitimate reasons for leaving early, but I know plenty of seasons ticket holders who sit in my area, who always leave early. It doesn’t matter what the game is, who we are playing or if the title is on it.

What’s daft is some of those people live within walking distance of the ground or I’ll see them in a pub after the game.

How could you leave early last night!

2-2 in a title race, 83rd min ball goes out of play and half the stadium gets up and fucks off home, pathetic

people giving up cos we weren't at our best so they can get home 20 minutes earlier, it's pathetic and embarrassing.
and btw, it's the same people who leave early ever week regardless of who we're playing and what score it is. i can understand it if we're 3/4 nil up or 2/3 nil down but at 2-2 in a title race chasing a last minute winner? Come on it's embarrassing

It’s absolutely shite. Half empty with 10 to go, title race?? “Is there a fire drill” chant the away end.

Then you see the scenes at the end @ SJP. Pep and the players will all be thinking the same thing.

If they want to replicate sjp or Ellland rd they need to look at the pricing policy, the type if fans we have who can make that noise aren't paying what we currently charge. Also giving away 1000s of free tickets to schools on a mid week game isn't going to result in a full stadium at the final whistle.

Like it or not, the game dictates the atmosphere. Was decent in parts tonight but when we start passing for the sake of it for a period of time it just drains any atmosphere we have.

Of course it does . Fast attacking football gets the crowd going. The crab style just deflates everyone.
 
First half was generally a shite atmosphere last night even in 015. Younger lads around me who usually sing were fking around on their phones checking bets and stuff and trying to avoid being caught for vaping. And they then always disappear to the bars after 38 minutes. They're our future ! God help us.

It only got better after Forest equalised the first time.

I so agree with this. I remember speaking to David Bernstein and he was worried about the expansion risk of moving to the Commonwealth Stadium, as it then was going to be. Obviously, all before we became part of a Global Football Franchise (umm...) He also said that the moment you see an empty blue seat on TV on a key match day, then you invite the more casual, less committed fan to simply pick and choose. Obviously, he was also speaking well before the aberration of the 'Instagram Tourist'.

I have always thought we have a 30-35,000 loyal, proud and passionate base - and even after a decade plus of unimaginable success I really don't believe we have really grown this base.

Pricing, treatment of season ticket holders, legacy fan neglect, game scheduling lottery, corporate hospitality priorities, tourists, the game day experience have all pissed off a load of that legacy base, and whilst I appreciate the 18-25 allocation (who seem to love singing on the concourse, and then largely remain silent once they get to their seats), I have never had an issue with being a club of this size, deeply connected with the community.

But I get that, as an investment propostion, that’s simply not going to work in the sorry state of today’s football. I can’t wait to see the empty North Stand.

Grumpy by name – grumpy by nature.

And as for those that left eary last night. I am sure you all had great reasons, and of course it’s your right to go when you want. But jesus, as a City fan, have you learn’t nothing about the importantce of added time? I only wish we would have got that final scramble over the line, not only for the points, but to shame those that fucked off early. I respect anyone can do what they like – but really???? (and I commute for every home game from London).
 
I thought it got loud for a minute or two after Forest made it 2-2 but that soon dissipated when we didn't step up the pace and continued to give the ball away. The roof would have come off had we taken that chance at the end, but that's been the story too often this season.

I don't know I'm halfway up 315 and I'm as guilty as the next fan when half hearted singing follow follow and other songs.

We were like the players, both them and us only put limited effort in last night.

Chalk and cheese from the last home game which was in the top 2/3 of the season.

I've never understood the leave early thing, particularly in a game like that. THE best ting about attending football matches is the release of adrenaline and tension that comes with THOSE kind of moments. Surely you've paid for a ticket to experience that and yet leave when we are desperately chasing a winner in a super close title race that is nearing its peak. I get that there is always going to be a legitimate reason but for (very) many it seems to be just habit. We must have been at least 15k down by the 85th minute and theres still at least 10 mins to play
 
Don't know what time the game finished last night but it took time again to get out of SS3, I was in my car (park 2 mins walk behind SS3) and home for 23.00 which was really good.

If I'd cleared off at say 90+5 it'd usually, depending on day/time of the game be worth 20 mins at least getting home.

I have started trying to time my exit from pitch view in injury time these days but that mainly due to normality car sharing with someone in SS0 (back row) who always ends up having to wait a bit for me.

Fans leaving last night tho at 2-2....if we're 3-0 up and game managing I can understand it a little bit.

The amount of people who are desperate to get off as soon the clock hits 85 minutes is fucking embarrassing. As I said I can understand if we’re battering someone or getting hammered ourselves but to just fucking leave and give up to get home a little bit earlier at 2-2 in a title race is a joke. If we scored that chance in the last minute there would have been about 35-40k in the ground who’d have seen it. Embarrassing

I thought Leeds were average on Saturday and we easily outsung them.

The rags famously outbantered the lillywhited a few years ago by responding to”Mason Greenwood. He’s one of your own” with, “Mason Greenwood, he’s Yorkshire like you.” I hate to give the rags any credit but they deserved some.

At least we were belting out the Semenyo song. Mark Guehi deserves a top chant, as does Cherki and others.

Yes the meaning of “Come on City” seem to change in the 80s and we’ve never quite rediscovered its essence. We need a new Helen the Bell. A true City legend.

Security would stop her from bringing it in
 
I felt the players needed us on Wednesday and we never turned up.
Fans chatting shit through the game "how was work the other day?" Discussing traffic, checking bets, vaping, sharing chips along the fucking row. Moaning at our players, not joining in with chants, not giving it back to forest who were taking the piss.
I moved three times as was getting pissed off. Trying to make an atmosphere amongst the empty seats and even the loyal locals not joining in. Can't be arsed to put down their vape or phones and join in.
Half the ground fucked off at 83 minutes. I joined in with the forest fans singing "fire drill" and then boo'd the early leavers. Pathetic. Early leaving in the title race for an earlier kick off. You are not welcome at any parade.

Stuck in a queue on the stairs to get out because ignorant cunts slowing down reading their phones, walking into things like fucking zombies.
Try and chant outside the ground and everyone looks at you like a fucking wrong un.
Get on the train and half the cunts have put bags on the seat next to them so you can't sit down. Most of them were fucking city.
Were fucking entitled.
Sorry for the rant
