Etihad Atmosphere - 2022/23

[LEXSTARproject]

I don't think singing 20 verses of the same song makes a difference either. It's just background noise then. I much prefer the way Palace coordinate their songs to reflect the game, or the way Celtic do. It's more natural. Booing the fuck out of Liverpool when they had the ball and then sporadic roaring when City were on the charge, that audible difference boosts the team more than 20 rounds of the same song.

@Manchester33 @supercity88 and @jrb you should set up a supporters group as you all seem to have the same ideas about what the new North Stand should look like and also how the atmosphere in the ground should be as well #wellsaidlads

The atmosphere will change when the NS is expanded and City take the bold step of creating a proper singing section.(115 isn’t a proper singing section)

A singing section where everyone wants to sing and do sing.
A singing section where people can wave telescopic flags, hold up 2 sticks, without people moaning at them.
A singing section where people can hold up a banner at the front of the stand without people moaning at them.
A singing section where a drop down banner can be dropped down without people complaining below and trying to drag the banner down.

That all sounds fair enough. Just don't bring a bloody drum!

Personally I'd love this. And I hope it's a case of 'build it and they will come and sing'.

Stop clapping about Empty Seats, Edin Dzeko and Vincent Kompany straight from the kick off then. That killed the Brighton game.

Yep, we sing more about Dzeko now than we did when he played for uss!!

I was in Sweden this week so went to watch djurgardens fc at home.

Cold, wet and lashing down with rain and they still did a great bit of atmosphere throughout And no drums!!

If an expanded 2nd tier was built what would you see as the ideal position for such a section? Front and middle of the 2nd tier?

Having one huge tier would also look great for the reveal of huge flags which which could go from top to bottom of it.

City don't need to look any further than United.(unfortunately)

United and the Rags worked together to create a proper singing section close to the players tunnel. United fans had to apply to go into the singing section. It was over subscribed. (I stand corrected on that)

I've watched a couple of United home games and the new singing has made a positive impact on the atmosphere at Old Trafford. It gets the rest of the crowd going during the game. When the crowd can't be bothered singing the singing section will carry on singing regardless. To their credit(spit) the singing section pretty much sing(anti-Ciy ;-) ) songs non-stop for 90 minutes.

Its simple go to the game open your mouths sing shout and cheer. Unless your in the south stand or the corner its not going to happen as no one can let themselves go and feel comfortable to do it without feeling a twat. Thats what has got to change.

Ideally at the front of L2, but that won't happen. Unfortunately I doubt the club would allow it, never mind consider it.

At the back of L2 would be good but would the noise/sound/chants spread down the stand with everyone else joining in constantly? Probably not. The flags and banner displays would be pointless up there.

The remaining option is on L1 behind the goal, which is pretty pointless as it won't get L2 or the rest of the stadium singing. It would just be another 115/SSL1.

I honestly don't know mate.
