Etihad Atmosphere - 2022/23

Definitely the worst of the season yesterday, both for general atmosphere and clearing out of the ground early.

Not sure what's to be done about it.
Really? I was in South 3 and it was decent up there, especially 2nd half.

There was a small amount who didn’t stop and the majority joined in quite a few times.

The only negative for me was the early leavers were particularly bad but we live in a free country and got 3 pts so who cares really?
 
One thing that has become more noticeable is that ss3 is the area that gets the rest of the ground going and is often the loudest part of the etihad.

South stand level 1 doesn’t seem to create enough noise, consistent noise or sing many of the songs others join in with.

We could do with starting again and creating a proper home end with the expansion. Failing that we could put rail seating at the back of ss3 and have it there
I’m in SS3 and it was really good yesterday.

The new Haaland chant is great.

“What would you do with a big Norwegian, What would you do with a big Norwegian, What would you do with a big Norwegian, can’t stop him from scoring! …. Erling, Erling Haaland, Erling, Erling Haaland… can’t stop him from scoring!”

I've been to every game, and it was the worst league game from where I was in the stadium. I'm not overly invested one way or another, I took a pal to his first ever game, had a few beers, and enjoyed the game.
 
Yesterday after match in SS3 there was no waiting to get out the doors,to get in the lift and a queue for the bus back into town.
I was shocked at how empty the stadium was 5 minutes to go.
I have never seen it as bad as it was yesterday.
Ha, I know right! At some point we cross the threshold where the best time to get a tram is after the final whistle because the queues are the worst at the 75 minute till the 90th. Beat the traffic by waiting to the end.
 
Remember those email surveys City used to send out every week? Maybe they should send out another email asking why so many fans are leaving early. If nothing else it would at shed some light on why it’s happening.
At the core it’s a “that’s enough for me,I need to get home” attitude. You just don’t see that with most clubs. Their fans are more invested emotionally and really want to watch the whole match. They stay because they feel it’s important to SUPPORT the team
 
Brentford have all fans staying at the end and a full lap of honour which is great and that's in West London which is bound not too be super easy to get away from the ground. no excuse at all why our fans can not do the same especially on a 3pm kick off on a Saturday
That certainly didn't happen when we played them. Loads leave early to get the train as they close one of the stations.
 
Some kid in SS3 started a great Haaland chant. Got a few in 317/8 singing it.
Never heard it before

What can you do with a big Norwegian
What can you do with a big Norwegian
What can you do with a big Norwegian?
Can't stop him from scoring!

Erling Erling Haaland
Erling Erling Haaland
Erling Erling Haaland
Can't stop him from scoring

Sung to the tune of What shall we do with the drunken sailer.

Not heard it before and it was catchy and simple enough to take off pretty well.
This needs pinging to the 1894 group
 
Used to be proud of the City fans, stood there yesterday clapping the team off, I now find them a total embarrassment. Worst in the Premier League.
 
Nothing new or remotely unusual about fans leaving early, back in the 70s i would stand in the Kippax and refuse to look at my watch if we were winning. I would be pleased when I started to see people trooping down the Platt Lane steps as I realised it was getting near the end. Ten minutes to go the trickle became a flood as scores of folk disappeared down the corner tunnel. Maine Rd was much further out of town than the Etihad but I always stayed to the end and enjoyed the walk back to town. The early leavers didn't spoil my day each to their own.
