Etihad Atmosphere - 2022/23

That is why you stay to the end. Fantastic scenes.
Even the under-the-thumb Strictly Come Dancing fanboys stayed today.
Bloody great scenes at the end of the game. Pep was fucking buzzing!

Atmosphere was so much better second half with all the proper City songs coming out.

Blue Moon
Oh City We Love You
City, From Maine Road
Ark Now Hear The City Sing
City, City, TBTITLAATW
We’re Not Really Here
Come on City
Ci-ty Ci-ty Ci-ty Ci-ty
We’ve got an M an A an N, a C an I T Y
We’re Man City, We Fight Til The End
…all got sung in the second half.

Miles better atmosphere around the ground second half when we sung our club name!

There are those plus about a dozen more we could sing that the stadium joins in with. And if we could make up some new proper City chants (not player ones, not United/Liverpool ones) we can add to the back catalogue.

Fucking loved the team (& pep who was going mental!) celebrating with the fans at the end of the game. It’s a shame only around 30% of the crowd were still there to celebrate with them tbh.
It was the most full at 90mins that I've seen for a long time and pep obviously appreciated it going off his celebrations.

Yes absolutely loved it today. Up in SSL3 and there were plenty of gutteral roars of ‘Come on city’, ‘City’ from the heart urging the team on. Fans behaving like fans in response to events on the pitch, how football should be. Also the Blue Moon at the end was one of the loudest versions I have heard for a while.

Just picking up on comments by yourself and @Didsbury Dave last week, the first chant which really took hold round the ground started in level 3 with ‘Stand up for the champions’.

It wont necessarily make the ground the Bombanera but singing the classics, having songs which the words are identifiable makes the ground much more atmospheric.
 
Agreed was good today and with numbers staying till the end. Great atmosphere and must laugh at the foolham fans in level 3 giving it the big one when there was still an empty block between us.

As said earlier, sounded so good in ss3 with songs about city rather than individuals. Also the roof up there does help the volume so putting away fans up in the top tier could have a negative spin in terms of volume.
 
My daughters first game today. On 85 minutes she asked “why is everyone going home, it’s not over and there’s still injury time”. On 90 minutes she asked “shall we go home as well?” Of course I said no and after the penalty she was absolutely buzzing - hopefully a lesson learnt you always stay until the end!

*Not that it was too bad for early leavers today, just her observation from people around us.
