Etihad Atmosphere - 2021/22

[GaudinoMotors]

Another reason to add to the list:
“It was 0-0 for ages and everyone was tense”
“It was a big game against a big rival and everyone was tense”
“The opposition sat back all game”
“It was too cold”
“It was too hot”
“The traffic was too bad”
“It’s nearly Christmas”
“Town was full of Christmas shoppers so the Mets were too busy”
“We scored too many goals and it was too easy”

Maybe you and Stevie would be better off getting some headphones and piping in some "atmosphere" to your heart's content.
Not an atmosphere or crowd counting junkie, so really not arsed.

Early leavers must be mad.

They leave early whether it’s a 12:30/14:00/15:00/16:00/17:30/19:45/20:00 kick off. Either - you can’t really be arsed supporting city, or you’re whipped and need to hurry home to the wife!


Title run in, brilliant result, huge game on Tuesday…. What more can you ask for?

The mentality of some of our supporters is shit.

every game is the same unless its rags / scousers etc
been like this now for years.

i remember as a kid in the 1970's us in the kippax shouting " part time supporters,part time supporters " as the platt lane emptied early.

i just dont get it personally

i live local ,5 to 6 miles from.house to stadium and walk and only use public transport,still.takes 90 minutes

such an important game today,come through with flying colours and the team saw at best 30% of the crowd in the ground at the end

I never thought about Brentford, they haven’t got any songs to be fair.

Hardly anyone around the ground joins in with the players chants. As cool and as original as some are, they are no popular whatsoever. Hardly anyone knows them and most that do aren’t interested. Most of SSL1 aren’t even interested in them.

And when a player chant would be appropriate, like Jesus today when he scored his fourth, the song that went up was “Here’s to you Vincent Kompany…”. The other week when Jesus did a cracking move and won a corner the song that went up was “Oh Pablo Zabaleta he is the fucking man…”.

But if we simply sung about City and the atmosphere will be a lot better.

Yes they have. Brentford were loud at the Etihad, and they normally create a good atmosphere at home.

You're right. They don't. Because they can't be bothered. But when they do, it's loud.

Sadly, Jesus has never had a decent chant, and one that has caught on. Jesus has been in and out of the team, so that hasn't helped him regarding a chant. He deserved a stadium chant today, never mind a SSL1 chant, which frustratingly was very muted. If Sergio had scored 4 goals today his chant would have been continuous and around the ground.

Two fellas next to me spent 85 minutes slagging off Grealish, moaning in general and didn’t join in one song. And that’s in the south stand standing area. I don’t care if these fuckers have supported City for 50 years, used to do every home and away, spent decades on the Kippax or whatever, we have far too many whingeing old cunts turning up out of habit who have no clue that this is the best football they’ve ever seen or will ever see. We‘d be better off without them and I wish they’d just fuck off.

At least if the atmosphere isn't rocking it gives fans like you another reason for a good moan which I reckon you probably enjoy.
If you think our atmosphere is the worst in the country I doubt if you go to many away games.
Today we played a poor team who are going down, and they had a small travelling support.Always unlikely to be rocking as it was an easy win.

So that's almost saying there will be about 4 home games a season with good atmospheres ? We're going for a title and it's really quiet most of the game and the ground is near half empty at full time.

it's no wonder . 5-1 up after 53 mins and we turn it into a training session. goal difference could be absolutely vital .
i get the preserving energy bit but come on how many of those players at the end will start v RM.

i was bored to tears.

A lot of these excuses for not selling out I agree are ridiculous.

The reality is, we have about 48k who go no matter what, and the extra few thousand pick and choose when they can be arsed.

In terms of atmosphere, Liverpool, the Shite, Barcelona, Real Madrid, all have flat atmospheres against cannon fodder.

They’re all clubs used to winning and they actually get a buzz out of being top dog and rubbing it in other teams faces.

When Liverpool were a mid table club for a couple of decades, their atmosphere was absolute shite. They’ve raised it a bit now they’re good again, because they love lauding it over teams they feel inferior.

City are the opposite for me, we’re not a boastful, gloating fan base (in real life), our atmosphere tends to be better when our back’s against the wall / we’re playing someone who consider themselves above us in the food chain.

My guess is the atmosphere against Madrid on Tuesday will be mega

It doesn’t sound too badly on TV. I heard them singing Blue Moon in the second half.
