The atmosphere is almost always flat. Sometimes it's absolutely shit. It's rarely good but it can be good so it is within us somewhere even though the style of our stadium is fucking garbage and the set-up we've created in the stadium is even worse for creating an atmosphere. The atmosphere is almost never great. You can count on one hand how many special atmospheres we've had at this stadium.
The sad thing is, the way the stadium is being developed nothing is going to change in terms of the style of stadium it will be and the lack of a proper stand for vocal fans, and the set-up of it seems like it will continue to be completely fucking wrong.
We will never have a good atmosphere if we have two little efforts that are almost a joke in their size set aside for vocal fans like we have. I'm not sure they even total 3000 put together. I put a list up a little while ago where over fifty clubs have larger vocal sections than we do and we have the fifth largest stadium and the fourth largest average attendance in the whole country; yet we're not in the top fifty for size of vocal stands. It's pitiful what's set aside for vocal fans at our stadium, pitiful!
But let's not just blame the stadium here. The lack of effort from many many of our fans to create an atmosphere is blatantly apparent. I don't care anymore if I offend people with this; a huge percentage of our support is shit (in atmosphere terms, as I know people will come out with stuff like "I've been here or there" "I've spent xxx amount following City" "I have xxx amount of Loyalty Points").
