Etihad Atmosphere - 2021/22

[Gingers Dad]

Just had a read of their main forum, (Leeds) they have brought the myth that they are the best and loudest fans in the world plus all the usual jibes

Remember both Liverpool and Everton fans believing the myth that we've got no fans and they could just take over the home end. They had a few (and I mean very few) in our seats same as Leeds did last night but they soon found out they had to sit quietly or get fcked off.
Leeds have got a good following but they shouldn't believe the shit the media put out about the Emptyhad. Our support was great last night

All the police vans blocking between Leeds and City outside after.......what happened to that portable metal fence they used to have?

Everything about Leeds is a myth.
Their fans,their style of attacking football and their manager.
The only loudest they have is the booing of the players taking the knee by an away support.

I think they were. We were 3 up against Arsenal earlier this season and loads left. Even at 7-0 thy were there until the end singing.

They were but half of them had left.

Enjoyed being at the game last night. I thought the atmosphere was great. Particularly at the beginning, we kinda dozed off in the middle. Ground looked fairly full as well, which is particularly good considering covid and all that.

Just have a look at their home attendances in the 1980s. Don’t even get close to 20k. Some as low as 12k.

Would add " Marching on Together " to my list of club songs better than YNWA

You do care along with the very insecure mob who liked it clearly.

It is no shame if 10% of fans, or more, who bought tickets, don't turn up under current circumstances.

Eh?

Just to be clear I like Leeds well enough. I went on their forum this morning and 99% of comments were about how much better we were than them and nothing else.

But yesterday before the game on a non-football Facebook page i'm on, some illiterate moron was going on about how City couldn't sell tickets and Leeds would fill our ground for us. Whilst I find this "we've got more fans than you" stuff incredibly infantile and pathetic for anyone over the age of 13 I couldn't help but to the trouble of comparing attendances. In the last 50 years literally the only time that Leeds had higher attendances than us was the few years before we moved to the Etihad when our capacity was lower than theirs and we were in the lower divisions whilst they challenged for the league. And even then it was marginal.

Even when they last won the league we got higher attendances and we were rubbish. That shut the daft twat up.

I forgot they sung "Where were you when we were shit". Average attendances when both clubs were in the second division in the early 80s:

83-84 Leeds 15,173 City 26,694
84-85 Leeds 15,504 City 24,220
