Etihad Atmosphere - 2022/23

We know the north, west and east stand are rarely noisy, but again parts of the south stand were making noise nearly all night, as per seemingly not carried at all to be heard.

Mate watched at home said the arse came off singing all night yet down in block 120 you couldn't hear them at all.

The acoustics and positioning of the nosiest fans all seem off.

Anyone who was sat at home and is calling the atmosphere wank, well you have no real way to know as are gauging it from what the mics pick up and again poor accoistics
This is the problem. From over the other side, Arsenal fans were loud and singing much of the night. Could hardly hear anything from SS1 but when All/Most joined in you could so there is clearly an issue in SS1 with many who just don’t bother. Atmosphere was poor last night I thought but the way we play isn’t exactly encouraging a loud response currently so that isn’t helping.
 
Don't think our reputation outside our own criticism helps with the OTT anouncer and nonsense like playing songs to gee us up like glad all over at the end, makes us look plastic and manufactured sometimes, non league standard fare.
When we played Liverpool in the EFL Cup, during the shit light show, where the announcer was reading the team out, he said ‘number twenty-five, the human calculator, Manueeeeeeel Akaaaaaanjiiiiii’.

You could hear the Liverpool fans laughing.

It’s fucking cringeworthy in and around our stadium pre-game, half-time and post-game. It’s like a weird Alton Towers version of a football club.

Yea I thought the other day the announcer sounded like he had come from the WWF, fucking embarrassing.

100% this. Apparently the club has been lobbied on stuff like this but it’s fallen on deaf ears. It HAS to be binned off. I wouldn’t put it past them to start blasting out music every time we score a goal.

The fast Blue Moon at kick off and the Glad All Over at the end - what the fuck are they thinking?

City Square is beyond parody.
 
What is the name of the rave tune they play before kick off?
The one during the cheese on toast light show? If so, it’s a remix (not sure which remix) of Da Hool ‘Meet Her At The Love Parade’.

You wouldn’t mind so much if the stadium was full of kids, but kids are massively in the minority at games. They must make up about 5-7% of the attendance (if that!) yet everything seems to be aimed at that tiny minority and not at the 93-95% of the attendances who are adults.

‘Yeah but they’re the next generation’

Who gives a fuck? Yeah, they’re the next generation of adults at an adult football match where adults are the massive majority in the crowd.
 
It is like they have looked to the US as the standard of sports entertainment, not realising most of the football world thinks their cheessy pre/post match antics are embarrasingly laughable and tacky

Again, where are City Matters or supporters club on this?
 
Don't think that's the one I'm thinking of. The one they play in the sequence of Manchester songs along with LWTUA etc.
Go to 3 mins 10 secs. That’s when the recognisable part of the song comes in.
 
How did the Arsenal fans cope with the acoustic and stadium design issues that supposedly prevent us creating an atmosphere in the south stand?, or did they prove its bollocks and has no impact at all if you can be arsed to get out of your seat and make some noise?
They had the roof.

Our best atmospheres are when our fans in SSL3 make a racket and the sound booms out around the ground.
