23 minutes of a the Bolton thriller from 11 years ago (5th ever game at this stadium) for those who need a recall.
Far from a cauldron, no persistent singing (have we ever? Only a special block might create this), but plenty of "Come on City". Less expectant and more supportive than many recent games.

Another look at things.
Do the 1894 Group have meetings? If not, I think it'd be a good idea, as we can all put our ideas forward.
We have the potential of a really good singing group/end etc. We just need more help from the club and our fanbase on a whole. We really need to publicise the group, have a dedicated Youtube channel to post displays on, raise awareness. It starts with small things like this, but they eventually add up.

I even remember at the Etihad a few years back agaisnt derby where the whole crowd got up and was singing. It's getting worse year on year, but people say things like oh but main road you could hear a pin drop. I'm sorry but the atmosphere at main road shits all over what we have now
Complete and utter bollocks.

So there was no atmosphere at the Liverpool game the other week?
The Chelsea game last week?
Every game during the title run in last season?
Nostalgia - it's not what it used to be...

Exactly this. It's not even against big opposition. If we played Bolton now it would be silent. You can hear the difference. What I don't get though is more success should mean more atmosphere we have opposite.

It's not nostalgia at all. The chelsea game was good but it wasn't exactly amazing, apart from when we score not much chanting. The liverpool one was average. I'm not expecting deafening noise, but come on they weren't great.
Why do people always try and make out we have a good atmosphere now, by saying main roads was shit. It's just an excuse.
one thing i noticed - the directors box was half empty for this game. a champions league night of significance and the directors could not cobble together enough guests to fill it up? might not have got much in the way of singing from them but it looked shite. WHERE WERE YOU WHEN WE WERE SHIT?

Don't think it was a great atmosphere for either game no. Both were fairly poor. Much better than Roma, but that ain't saying much. Those games you mention were against our main title rivals, it should be absolutely bouncing in those games. The best atmosphere we have ever had at east lands was the hamburg game, ironic that it was in the lesser European competition.

I used to sit behind a guy in the Maine Stand at Maine Road ( yes I was a Maine Stand moaner) who used to read the
Daily Telegraph during the game every Saturday because he said it was more interesting than what was going on in front of him on the pitch. Maine Road was great until they redeveloped it. After that it was nothing special. In fact it was a fucking dump of a stadium. The Etihad is a zillion times better on every level.
And just for the record I went to Maine Road for the first time in '68 so iz do have some idea regarding a comparison.
