Etihad Atmosphere - 2021/22

[train man]

Some good points as always. Disagree about Empty seats at home though - that's a chant that can be maintained and can get loads of fans joining in. Not sure about the reference to a full stadium either - shall we only sing it when there are empty seats?!!

Hehe, nope, it works either way, literally, or better still ironically...

But it’s excuse after excuse.

Early in the season it was because a game kicked off at 12:30 on a Saturday afternoon so the atmosphere was shit.
Another was because it was a night match near Christmas and the traffic was bad so the atmosphere was shit.
Another was because we won 5-0 and it was easy so the atmosphere was shit.
Another was because it was a tense 0-0 so the atmosphere was shit.
Another was because we went 4-0 up very quickly so for the rest of the game the atmosphere was shit, and couldn’t raise it again because the opposition scored 3 quick goals and it made us nervous.
Another was because it was freezing so the atmosphere was shit.
Now it’s because the game was tedious so the atmosphere was shit.

These tense 0-0s are when the team need us most. It’s not about how entertained we are.

Some supporters don't like monotonous singing all game? I'm probably one of the most vocal people around me, but it's usually due to an outburst of rage like a 'fuck off' or 'come on City'.

On the other hand, I don't like singing that much as I'm focused on the game. I dunno, I think the whole 'we need singing all game' is overblown.

I’ve said many times that atmosphere is not always about singing. We barely sung any songs all game in that 2019 Liverpool 2-1 win, but it was the most intense atmosphere we’ve had since the 2012 United 1-0 win.

All the boos, whistles, “fuck off”s, “go on”s, “ooooohh”s at the close misses, “aaaaaahhhh”s at their misses etc. are also what makes an atmosphere great.

South Level 3 next to the away fans was alright last night, nothing spectacular but nowhere near as bad as some on here are making out. If all the moaning fuckers on here joined in we'd have the best atmosphere in the country.

The Atletico fans were loud next to us aswell drowned some of our songs out which they obviously will do if only 314 are signing and not the rest of the third tier

Not forgetting, “you can’t sing a song with Edin Dzeko’s name on it”.

It’s not that we can’t, of course we can. It’s that people don’t.

I don’t remember that song ever spreading around the stadium.

I cant get my head round the number of songs for former players sung when the likes of Walker/Stones/Gundogan/Mahrez/Foden etc.. don't get a mention.

I seem to be one of few that thought the atmosphere was better than expected and couldnt hear the madrid fans ( only thing i recall about them was the nazi salutes ). Compared to some UCL games it was ok.

I was right at the back of 115 so could not hear madrid fans, spent last 5 mins of game near the front of 115 so i could hear them then, shows how the noise travels.

First 15 mins in 114 / 115 / 116 was better than a lot of the prem games, there where a lot of people bunched in seats, stewards had dropped the check points for tickets ! After about 15 mins it went a bit quite, just the odd song.

When we scored there was a 15 minute spell of excellent singing, literally 3 or 4 full blocks going for it, you could say arms up in the air clapping, one song at once. Shows singers are there they just cant be arsed for large parts of the game.

All the excuses in the world, if you are a singer in that section and you dont sing then we arent going to have the best of atmospheres.

There is a lack of chants, I am saying chants not the carefully written player SONGs. We cant get going the new john stones or zinch or diaz song. We need good hard core chants, with clapping. It wont change though, we will always have a new song every week about a player that only a small handful of people know the words to. We just arent getting to grip with longer songs / chants that we can repeat repeat repeat for everybody to copy.

I was 10 euros up as well after all the coins that came over from them after we scored ha ha
