Etihad Atmosphere - 2021/22

[trevorriley]

So many things the club can do to improve the atmosphere but I don't think they care tbh could tell that when they stuck an hospitality section bang in the middle of the south stand

i can see why you think that, some of the decisions made from the very top like the hospitality dont help us at all.

But having worked with a lot of the people at the club, some that are quite high in management, there are a lot them that love the atmosphere and want to help. They provide us with a lot of support, they are as keen as us.
A lot is knocked back by security levels and health and safety.

When it comes to those annoyances like electronic scoreboards that prevent hang over banners and hospitality popping up all over, this is a decision made by marketing and very high management looking at profit.

Those electronic banners are dreadful. Should also consider replacing some of the old banners on Tier 3 that have been there for years.

Any chance we're going to have a new version of allez allez? It felt like it was one of the only "newer" songs that got the whole stadium going

The run-in to the 18/19 season was excellent for great atmospheres. Starting with the 2-1 Liverpool win in January 2019 we had a run of big games with everything depending on them:

Liverpool
Arsenal
Chelsea
Spurs (CL)
Spurs
Leicester
+ 3 appearances at our 2nd home in a SF and 2 finals.

We’ve been starved of them since and 19/20 was effectively a write-off. We only had Spurs, Chelsea and United at home before covid and we only won one of them against Chelsea. A win against Spurs or United would have given us a different feeling.

I was totally pissed off that covid wasn’t kept at bay before Real Madrid at home was postponed – I was so looking forward to that game and the place would have been bouncing plus the prospect of 2 more CL home games and Liverpool etc.

20/21 was, of course, a complete write off but thank god the cycle starts again next month 3 fucking years later. Chelsea, Spurs, United and Liverpool all to look forward to with another title to win plus some others if we have to win like in 18/19. Then there is the prospect of 3 big Champions League games and I’ve got a big taste for that again after PSG when I felt alive again. Thinking about it the PSG game has been the only really big game in nearly 3 years.

2022 is going to be a blast and the atmosphere will take care of itself.

Poor atmosphere today but our choice of music at the start of games does not help.

our music is depressing & why the Fook do they keep pissing about with tracks as teams come out.

I dont think they even played a city tune today.

who ever manages music & PA system needs to sort it out! you don’t see Liverpool pissing about you know exactly what tune your getting & it rallies the team & fans.

As bad as it gets, really really poor. It’s getting worse n’all.

I’ve just said in the post-match thread, I’m starting to not enjoy games because of how poor the atmosphere is.

so the people we as fans can contact/ pressure - high in management- want to improve the atmosphere, but have no say whatsoever over 99% of decisions.

that’s pretty depressing that.

Atmopshere was non existent against Wolves and a lot of empty seats , when will the club realise our fan base is nothing like the Rags or Dippers , we are working class and local our support does not travel hundreds of miles and are not in the same financial position as all the out of towners who support the 'istree clubs.
But our club is now no different from any other with the ambitions to finish in the top four , there will be a pencil neck accountant who has never paid to attend a football match in his life ,working out how much each supporter will spend per head per game , including admission , food , drink, parking , programme etc, we are now a commodity , ive sent the club numerous e-mails and just get the standard bull shit scripted reply .
No chance i will ever again pay over £100 , incluidng all the expenses to watch us play a bunch of ragamuffins like Burnley or Wolves who contribute f*ck all to the entertainment , the club is losing its core support , and they need to wake up.

How much were tickets today? Seemed a lot of empty seats. Early kick offs don’t help atmospheres but today was the most quiet of the season bar the shouting at the ref and their acting players.

Atmospheres are crap at every ground in the country for a 12.30 unless its a huge game/derby. It was bloody miserable weather abd watching us play the only side in the league that make Burnley look entertaining, was never going to be bouncing. Games shouldn't be like this but we have to be realistic, that was just one we just had to get through both on and off the pitch.
