Etihad Atmosphere - 2022/23

It won't Trev.

The SSL1 away end will be full of families sitting down, like before.

Not having a pop at them because families and new City fans are always welcome, but they don't stand up or sing.

If the SSL1 away end would was full of young City lads standing and singing, that would be great. 110, 111, SSL1 away end and SSL1 all singing together. Boom!
You maybe surprised on Wednesday, SS3 is full of Chelsea and i've been moved down near enough directly below my SS3 seat to SS1.

If the same happens to others we could have a right racket going on.
 
Will be interesting to hear how much noise the Chelsea fans make with the one song they have. That new roof on SSL3 for me was the logical place to have a singing section. We went for Level 1 instead but it doesn't send the noise upwards and around the bowl. Will see how things go having noise from above taking on our own support in SSL1.
 
Chelsea fans were sh*te today against Arsenal in the London derby.
Villa fans were good today against United.
Spurs fans were good and bad today against Liverpool.
There is no one fits all to (creating) a good atmosphere.

The Rome derby between Roma and Lazio today was very good.
Both sets of fans sang throughout the match. Especially the Roma fans. The whole stadium. At the final whistle the Lazio team including the subs went over to the Curva North housing 18,000 Lazio fans and celebrated the 0-1 win against Roma with them.
I'll wait with bated breath for the inevitable video

I’m sure there are versions of rail seating where the seats can be locked in their upright position so that you can’t sit down. Then let it be known that if you buy a ticket in a standing area you will be standing, so if you want to sit, buy a ticket elsewhere.
 
Also a lot of these chants are not inspiring at all. Some one has just posted a video of the South Stand chanting ‘City’ at Pep and you can envisage how at a corner or when attacking how inspiring this could be. Who could possibly be inspired by chanting about Edin Dzeko who left 6 years ago?

Some chants are best left in the pub and on the concourse and stuck on instagram, fun to sing, but once your in the ground the point of singing is to inspire your team.
I don’t mind the ‘Edin Džeko’ part of that chant.

It’s the beginning of that chant that doesn’t make any sense being sung when we’re trying to win a tight game. Singing about Liverpool players and ‘Scousers’ isn’t going to rouse the rabble and get the team going.

That video of the fans chanting Ci-ty Ci-ty Ci-ty is class! If that was belted out as we build an attack (like it was a few times on Saturday in the second half), it gets everyone going instead of a half hearted ‘Gerrard slipped’ for the fourth time.

It was so much better on Saturday when we ditched all that non-City chanting when we really needed the crowd to get behind the team… and it’s clear as day the team fucking loved it with the way they went round the stadium at the end.
