Etihad Atmosphere - 2021/22

[citymad]

Wouldnt be surprised if the Leeds fans took the piss taking to another level tonight. Hopefully they'll be enough retort for a better atmosphere.

They will whether there's 1 in the home end or a thousand.

Your grounds too big for you.
Worst support we've ever seen
Your support is fucking shit.

Same songs away fans have sung at every away game for decades.

Water of a ducks back.

I'll be leaving Leicester about 4pm today, hoping to arrive and gain access to 116 before kick-off. With a good run, in a couple of hours I can be hitting M6 J19 and on the final stretch. The final stretch can take as little as 45 mins at weekends, but mid-week can take anything from 45 mins to a couple of hours, depending on how lucky we are.

After the match, forget getting back to Leicester any time before 1am.

Thanks for listening.

In somewhere like Germany that journey would be about 45 minutes by high speed train, there would be return services back well into the early hours, and the cheapest train ticket would be about £10. The UK has now got one of the worst transport systems in Europe, possibly in the world, now that Africa and most of Asia has cheap high-speed rail.

Out of interest do you go round the M60 and in from Ashton/Denton, or do you go through the city centre?

Depends on traffic mate, either down the 56 and the parkway or denton or stockport and A6. Its a lottery getting in, but go over the hills on the way back, to sheffield and down M1. Depending on what roads have overnight closures.

Weekends its a piece of piss, few beers with mates in the Grove after the match, traffic gone, then head across the hills.

Leeds fans can generate a decent atmosphere at times for sure and I'd expect them to do so tonight as it's still a novelty for them being back in the Premier League, but I would add that I thought they were disappointing when we last played them at home in the FA Cup in 2013 even though they had about 6000 in the ground.

I'm also expecting them to take a few liberties in town as they will be here in numbers early doors just like they were when they played United first game of the season, so any blues having to go through town to get to the ground just be on your guard.

Well I'm in 214 tonight as usual, so they aren't.

If you look on the stadium plan in the earlier post both those blocks are linked to the away section

Had a row of blue scouse behind me for the Everton game so it's true, we'll sell to anyone.

CBL3 near mine has been essentially an away section in CL games last few years

 

[Spurs quarter 69]

Join in with them reminding everyone " Sancho and Rashford let the country down ". Both sets of fans would sing anti rag chants at Maine Rd.

Driving in from buxton this season has been a joke.
Takes nearly an hour and a half
