Etihad Atmosphere - 2021/22

Building the SS 3rd tier allowed affordable tickets for thousands of City fans.
The season tickets in there are affordable, the match day tickets are not. So you get season ticket holders who have no intention of going to every game buying season tickets in there as they only need to attend about half the games for it to pay for itself, then a lot of the seats go unsold due to the price.
 
They didn’t. Some of us were banging on about it at the time. They should have called the top tier the New Kippax or something, put the 1894 group at the heart of it and allowed anyone in the existing singing areas to relocate for half price. It should have been marketed as the new singing end or whatever.
I was at a focus group when they announced it, facilitating fans moving to the extension to form a singing group. With respect to how you think they should have done it then, they didn't do any of that
 
Yesterday was always going to end like that, great at the start but tailing off into a formality.
I expect this Saturday to be much better. The Tarquins absolutely despise us and blame us for all their problems rather than looking for answers closer to home, going back to Adebayor.
Tbf to them they should fill the full away end, loads of Home Counties (ex) students live in Didsbury and Chorlton and they have always brought good numbers to our place anyway

But if they don’t attend 12 games without putting them in general sale, they’ll have it taken off them.

I’m in SS3 and it must be the best value for money of any season ticket in the history of English football.

£30 a month for 10 months to watch 2 matches, with the likes of KDB, Grealish, Dias etc.

unbelievable value
 
Our atmosphere will always be a bit flat.

I put it down to our fanbase on the whole being quite sarcastic, dour and self-deprecating.

We don’t have as many chest beating happy clappers as other clubs.

We’re basically a load of miserable bastards.

Miserable is probably the best word I’d describe City fans.
 
“The Etihad inside had areas with safe standing and although the atmosphere was not electric it was very loud when they got going.”

there’s a lot of rubbish on this forum about us, but some nice comments as well. Maybe we aren’t really that bad

There were plenty of empty seats at most of the PL grounds this weekend. Arsenal played Chelsea yesterday. A top London derby. There were empty seats all over the ground, especially in the upper tiers. And the atmosphere was sh*te, apart from the Chelsea end. A couple of Arsenal, Arsenal, chants, and that was it.

Villa Park was the same. After Danny Ings scored his bicycle kick goal, he ran to the corner (flag), only to be met by loads of empty seats.
