Etihad Atmosphere - 2021/22

A lot of the time our atmosphere comes from reacting to goals and having to be winning the match. The fans need to give it out regardless on Sunday. Don’t leave it emptied out in the concourse and give it in the stadium bowl instead.
 
If people really knew the cost, time, and effort that goes into doing these displays, they really wouldn't criticise the club.

Firstly, if anyone knows the cocks who ripped the banner so they could poke their heads through tell them they are arseholes.

Secondly, until we scored I barely heard our fans, all I could hear was the Madrid fans. Someone seriously needs to have a look at what we sing and when, I am really fed up hearing about Dzeko scoring etc. Where are the traditional songs that support the team and that the fans can join in with. Most songs are sung once and then die out. I know it will be different on Sunday but we, the fans, need to get behind the team at all times, not just sit back and wait for the goals to fly in.

Every singing section in every stadium in the world is every stadium’s front-man for atmosphere. They are who the rest of every stadium in the world looks to to lead the atmosphere.

But I don’t think a lot of people in our singing section understand that, and some don’t care and are just there for a sing and a laugh within their own little section and aren’t bothered about the rest of the ground. That’s up to them as well, it’s not like they’re under contract to make sure the whole stadium is singing. But it will always be the case in every stadium that the singing section leads the atmosphere.

All the quick burst-y clap-along awayday chants might sound good in the singing section, but they never catch on around the stadium. “Edin Džeko”, “Empty Seats At Home” (when we’re at home in a full stadium?), and a number of others, have never caught on around the stadium, and they certainly won’t in a tense 0-0.

At 0-0, even any sort of individual player songs are never going to catch on around the stadium… we have to get the CITY songs going more, and we need to get a load of new ones! Positive, uplifting, CITY songs.

Not songs about players, not songs about United or Scousers, not songs taking the piss out of ourselves, not the quick burst-y clap-along awayday chants… all those kind of songs are great to have in the back catalogue but should just be extra songs to add to a City set list for when we’re 4-0 up to add to our core City chants. But they’ve become the singing section’s core chants.

City songs have always been the songs that have caught on around the stadium, but we sing fewer and fewer of them all the time. Some have completely disappeared from our set list.

Hey Jude
City, We’re From Manchester
City ’Til I Die
We All Follow Man City, Over Land And Sea
Oh When The Blues Go Marching In
We’re The Pride Of Manchester
Even “We Live You City” is seldom sung (compared to Edin Dzeko!)
And many many more…

There are a number of them that we haven’t sung for so long that it’s take a few months of reintroducing them before the stadium gets used to singing them again. When they should be the core songs of the set list every week!

And we should be adding to these with new City chants n’all.

One thing I’ve never understood is that we are the one and only Centurions in English football history, yet we haven’t got a single song about it. Surely even something simple like “Centurions Centurions ole ole ole” (to the “Championes” chant) is something we should have been proudly belting out for the last four years?!

completely agree mate.
I always hear that we don’t have enough songs.. we’ve got loads of them. Songs/ chants that everyone knows.

I can’t for the life of me understand why the south don’t sing any of the classic city songs. It happens maybe once a game

city til i die
Blues go marching in
perfect songs that are about city and everyone would join in with.

Im asking a lot and it’s easier said then done, but could the 1894 group or other fan groups get involved in a campaign to bring these type of songs back?

it’s as if the people who came up with Dzeko chant are in the south stand and won’t let it go. We don’t even have chants for our players now

we need the south stand to lead the ground, which isn’t happening

I've not heard a rendition of boys in blue for a long time!
 
Did they do the light show effects before the game like against PSG ? I think it makes a huge difference to the atmosphere and really sets an extra edge to the game.
