Etihad Atmosphere - 2021/22

[Silva's Magic Boot]

There was a time in the 2nd half when it seemed like the whole of SS3 was belting out Bluemoon and it was echoing around the roof.

Yeah that was it pal.

Video doesn’t do it justice compared to when you’re there. I’ve sat “upstairs” in the south since we built it and that was the loudest I’ve heard it up there.

The dj at the end playing Joy Division then the YaYa YaYa,Kolo Kolo tune was in excellent form as well.

Absolutely brilliant yesterday.
Top day

it must have been a shit game for the rags fans in lower SS, a total shit day well deserved too. I would say no quite as good as Leeds as for that game we where good singing for 90 mins.

yeh the poznan, how much must it p**s away fans off when they see that... A good yaya kolo to, very loud.

Agreed Trev. The NIMLT banner looks superb. Well done mate.

By far the best this season, yesterday....

hope the image will open up NOT IN MY LIFETIME.

Glad you brought it up about the empty seats, its by biggest bug bear and prevents us from doing better displays. Think i have mentioned before there are many reasons we can not move displays, they always have to be n 115 lower area. Fans stay a little to long on concourse and above in tier two its the corporate soft seats.

We tried a different way of displaying the long banner at the front, we had sleeves sewn in to the back of the banner so it held up better, similar idea to the gold ship. Also because we used 2 of the club guys to help, it enabled us to be in front of the new neon light boards. Fans are strictly not allowed in that area unless accompanied by a member of staff. The guys that help us are great and mad city fans to.
I think it was a success but first i apologise to any fans on the front row if it spoiled the view, last thing we want is to spoil the start for fans, most of the fans stood on seats so that they could see above the banner. We intend to try this again as the view of the banner was 100% better, we wont hold it for to long so not to spoil the view for front row fans, i hope you dont mind if you do stand there.

I looked over at the rags fans as i was waving the telescopics and thought "do you lot see this at the swamp" ! No they dont, made me smile as some of their fans shouted "what the f***** is that". I just laughed and thought its called supporting the blues !

First half there was 3 songs going on at once, fans eager to get going, fair play to them. Second half was excellent. The poznan for me made the night.

So glad Taggart was there to see it. Thought it might be jelly and ice cream time

our intention was to display the banner in the east stand so that taggart sat right across in west stand would see it. But the club asked us to use it in 115 as they had the big banner covering east stand. I still think it would have looked good there, smack bang right in front of red nose... Maybe we send him the banner in the post !

It’s one thing sneaking in the home end if that’s the only way you can get a ticket. Providing you don’t celebrate or cause trouble, it happens all the time.

But what breed of moron goes to a derby with a ticket in the opposition end actually wearing colours?

Met up with my brother at half time, and he said there was 2 blokes in front of him at the turnstiles to get up to 304 level 3 wearing Rag shirts, they were from Egypt and the stewards let them in WTF?
