Some of the best swaying I've seen in a long while.

You can't really out sing them the way they are... it's persistent and if you try and match them (City fans did several times) they just sing you into submission, LOL.
It'd take a major 180 turn in English fan culture to be able to match that. Palace fans would give it a go with their ultras section. It's not just City, we actually managed to sing over them a few times (which many other stadiums wouldn't be able to), it's simply English football now.
Your spot on with this all we need is cheaper tickets working class lads in the ground and team trying its balls off to create a real atmosphere not two cheerleaders who don't see a minute of the match.Cheadle_hulmeBlue said:Marvin said:No we wouldn't. All City's support, or the vast majority of it is working class. Booze doesn't come into it. Do you think the Turks in Galatassaray get beered up before a game?Cheadle_hulmeBlue said:no way is it 30% we just cant compete. If we had cheap tickets, safe standing and beer in the stands we would be better though imo.
Needs organisation. Ultras to get that going, but there's nothing like that here
Hamburg proved we can create amazing atmospheres. imo better than teams like bayern can
Being 14 myself, I know most of the "up and coming" fans, and tbh they're just like the rest. Bounce up and down in the concourse and act the Hardman.Cheadle_hulmeBlue said:ManCitizens. said:Cheadle_hulmeBlue said:yeah it is now, but so would bayerns support aswell, if they werent allowed to sing, stand, be organised, or have cheap tickets.
I edited my post. Watch Englands away support when the drum is allowed into the ground compared to when it's banned.
i would love a drum at city, it would allow the stupidly fast paced songs to be slowed down and sung in time, unfortunatley we are to "cool" for that. Still think we could outsing them without one though, we just need people to start singing again, especially the south stand who have forgotton

But I can't see anything happening anytime soon.Cheadle_hulmeBlue said:english support is not shit, we once were the envy of the world for atmospheres. most ultras talk about english fans. Difference is now like i said if we had everything the german fans had i can bet nwe would be better

handmade flags look miles better imo, they are cheaper to make aswell, dont understand why someone would spend 800 quid on basically an england flag.
they could happen though, they never used to have ultras in germany, dont see why we couldnt. If we had the cheap tickets and safe standing though, ( hamburg game- cheap tickets) our atmosphere would be amazing
younger generation of fans ??? people getting fed up of the atmosphere. Groups have been started at palace and villa, rangers -people probably thought they would never take off in the beginning, but now they are a huge part of there atmospheres.

Do Bayern Munich fans have a link with St Pauli?
