Some great new flags and banners in the SS last night, fair play to the 1894 lads

Absolutely love the Joy Division one.

Last night was ok. Great to see a younger crowd again. I don’t think you’ll ever get a bouncing stadium for a first leg match, there isn’t the sense of jeopardy there to give it that edge.

Sunday takes care of itself, it’ll be absolutely mental. People who you’ve rarely seen even stand up will be properly at it

I still believe part of the problem (only part) is that we’re nervous.
Nervous of being mocked if we sing and then concede.
Nervous about losing the title and cups to the most loathsome set of fans in the country.
Nervous about outside perception of our fans, atmosphere, seat sales, etc etc
We also spent so many years in the wilderness, some of us still have ‘City-itis’, and expect things to go wrong especially if we ‘jinx it’ by standing up and vocally backing the lads especially at 0-0.
Just my two penneth anyway.

the main reason there’s lots of day trippers is because season ticket holders/ locals either can’t be bothered or can’t afford champions league games. Completely different crowd for fa cup games and prem games

Completely agree tourist / day trippers are here to stay while we are successful but they are taking up the tickets season ticket holder are not. Last night there were more tourist than usual , hence the sell out. I don't mind that we are expanding our support base but why don't they put their phones' away and watch the match

Hard to tell how much we are expanding our fanbase because of these games. I’ve noticed a lot of the tourists are there just to watch a game or see particular players. The PSG game in particular most people were there to see messi and neymar

That was wank last night, you could even hear the Atletico players shouting from east stand level 3. Sunday needs to be deafening.

If you were on holiday in LA and you went to see the Lakers play wouldn’t you be taking pictures of LeBron

We are winning in the quarter finals of the champions league against the Spanish champions, water under the bridge onto Sunday

That just shows you the weird acoustics in out stadium.

Because their fans were up in the top tier their singing sounded loud as hell, bouncing off the roof. As I've stated many times, when our fans in that tier sing it echoes around the stadium in the same way.

They were noisy in SS3. The acoustics are mad in the South Stand, that’s why we need one tier in a new North Stand.
