Etihad Atmosphere - 2021/22

[M18CTID]

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.

Plenty of Leeds fans left too last night and FWIW, I thought Arsenal fans were decent enough vocally when we beat them 5-0

I mentioned in another thread they didn't average over 30k from 2005-2017...in most of those years they averaged around the mid 20k with a low of 21,572 in 2013,so like I've said before they can fuck right off......

Their fan base extends to most of Yorkshire or so they like to tell everyone so that actually makes these attendance figures worse.

Not exactly marching on together…

One team in their city as well.

...at the height of non functioning turnstile counters on the cash entrances as well.

I've made the same point on numerous threads now, but it's been more than 20 years since our last relegation, and a significant proportion of football fans are too young to ever remember City being shite. Our masochistic gallows humour is now redundant, and Typical City is a mere fading memory.

Away fans are either being ironic, or just plain stupid.

Pleased the poznan made it round the stadium. Shows we can still have a bit of fun when we feel like it.

Agree 100 per cent with this. We have not been truly shite since before the David Bernstein era. We were wildly entertaining under Keegan and never boring since (apart from the Pearce season) Anyone under 30 will not properly remember us being really shite. My favourite crowd moment was Everton fans (around 2010) singing: "You've got no history." Our rapid response was: "You've got no future." Brilliant. We need a better response to the "shit" song!

My one and only contribution to the singing section (inspired from listening to Madness and OUR HOUSE last weekend)
Simple tune and reflects a bit of history as well.

Trautman, Swift and Neil Young
Bobby Johnstone, Joe Royle
Oakes and Pardoe, Mike Doyle
Francis Lee and Colin Bell
He’s the one we’re going to miss in lots of ways

Our Ground
In the middle of Moss Side
Our Ground
With the Kippax on the side
Maine Road
Where we loved to moan and sing
Maine Road
Barnes and Tueart on the Wing

Getting 20k+ in the 3rd tier is great, even today, in 1998/1999, when crowds were much lower generally across the board, to get 28k-30k every week was unheard of.

Leeds have always had decent support, it’s just never ever been in the numbers seen at City.

I'm in that area of the ground but I don't know what this means.

I’m there and I’d just gone back to my seat in 326 when the lads who sit behind me came up saying couple of my mates who sit in 327 had got in a bit of mither with some Leeds morons, one punched by a **** with a key in his hand and another got a crack as well. Both ok but shouldn’t be in our end in the fucking first place.

Didnt look like it on the TV , maybe for once the camera's were avoiding the swathes of empty seats , they do it for the Rags when thier ground is half full.

Lots of empty seats in the family stand could see it clearly on TV and quite a few in the CBStand lower tier !! We need to paint them black :)
