Etihad Atmosphere - 2021/22

That's interesting. I've always stated that the stadium acoustics are the biggest problem here - singing on the lower tier doesn't carry properly. I've always wondered if some kind of cladding on the lower tier roof would improve things. I hope that's what you're trialling. As it stands the concrete roof over the lower tier deadens the sounds and stops it carrying upwards. And the away fans mean that the two singing sections can't hear each other.

That isn't what we're trialling here.

We have raised that with the club and it's something we're hoping will get done eventually - shiny metallic cladding. I know other clubs like United have had studies done to find the best cladding for their stadium roof to reflect noise.

What we're trialling is less subtle than that and if it works should make more of a difference. It's along the same lines though - make the stadium noisier through infrastructure changes which will enable the noisy buggers at the back of 115 to be even louder and help them spread songs.

I'll post more info on what we actually did next week, but I want it to be more of a blind trial to see if posters on here notice any obvious difference before I explain it.

Great stuff mate. I sit almost directly opposite, in 328 and get a great overview of the atmosphere. I'll report back.

The only caveat here of course is that in a derby the atmosphere normally looks after itself so it might be more difficult to detect any difference.

True, Sporting Lisbon will probably give us a better reflection on how effective it is.

I'll claim on Monday that the amazing atmosphere was purely down to 1894 and our small trial. :P

Surely that is their biggest priority atm ?

If there's a negative post in here on Sunday night/Monday morning we should ALL hang our heads.

If anyone isn't up for this one and prepared to make some noise....well don't need to add the rest.

The reality is if we win/are winning it will be noisey, if the rags go ahead it will go quiet. Sad but true
