Etihad Atmosphere - 2022/23

I’m not sure I agree with you on the first point. It’s not always, but when ss3 sing lots of sections around the ground do join in. The south stand should be leading the singing in my opinion.

It’s all to do with song choice. 90% of the ground aren’t going to join in songs about Dzeko or empty seats. Ss3 sing we love you city or blue moon (classics) the rest of the ground follow

Ss1 seems to be on a different song sheet. It’s not a criticism, as most of the songs are great, just think not enough of the classics are sung

It’s so simple. Blue Moon, Come on City, Best team in the land, hey Jude, Wr love you city, champione, we’re not really here, Hark now hear, will travel round if sung at the right moments. The whole ground knows the right moments too. I remember us scoring recently and the south stand immediately bursting into “Here’s to you Vincent kompany” at 100 mph. The moment was lost.

Nobody is criticising the south stand but they seem to be getting it wrong a lot of the time. It seems to me that because of the shit acoustics in the bottom tier, lads are using clap clap clap to get songs going which is ultimately leading to the wrong songs.

I’m not having a go. I know you are trying and I’ve contributed to you financially before. But the first five minutes of a game usually sets the tone for the “floating” singers in the stadium and if you’re purposefully clapping out “empty seats at home” and “you thought you’d win the league at Sunderland” and “Edin Dzeko” from the first minute, like in the last home game when it was those three in that order in the first two minutes of the game, you are killing the proper atmosphere, not creating it.

People around the other blocks don’t join in, people who would sing think “nobody is singing around me” and then the singing becomes mainly confined to 400 people behind the goal. It becomes self defeating.

When the big games are on the proper songs start elsewhere from behind the goal for that reason.

Bollocks! “Killing the proper atmosphere”… so songs you don’t like are killing this supposed atmosphere? What a nonsense.

I will try speak with the rest of the SS and we’ll look out for your orchestration going forwards.

I really couldn’t make it any clearer what I’m saying and it isn’t that.

How about just joining in with whatever is being sung? That’s the only way we create atmosphere. I buy tickets adhoc and so I’ve sat all around the ground and I get to most. The SS is the only stand that is trying to create an atmosphere, so complaining about their choice of song, seems to me to be ridiculous.
