Etihad Atmosphere - 2022/23

The first chant is a bit basic. But different stands are involved with each other. And the drum is used sparingly during clapping.

Lad at the bottom in the grey top with the small drum.

Didn’t watch the rest of the video.

Have you ever posted a video of City fans singing mate?

I get the impression that a lot of people who go to City these days are not interested in City fans, City songs and City fan culture. They want to be part of something that is not part of North West football culture at all. I always think that City United Everton and Liverpool have got strong enough fan cultures that we don’t need to copy the Ultras shite.

It’d be great if this thread would throw the fucking ‘Ultra’ (even that word is stupid!) shit in the bin and get interested in City fans, City songs and City fan culture. If we actually started getting interested in City and not some fucking Croydon or German band dweebs acting like trolls standing under bridges all the time and filming themselves going ‘oooah oah oh oh ooooooah ooh oah oah’ like it’s something unique and special… it’s fucking boring! The reason clubs turn to it is because they haven’t got a culture within their fanbase to be proud of and want to take forward into the future.

We’ve got 128 years of fan history. People are acting like that must now end and we have to adopt the cheesy Europop bollocks just because Palace and Arsenal are… fucking Cockneys who - like the Europeans - haven’t got an ounce of cool in them.

Don’t copy others. Be original. Stick to our own fan culture, make up our own chants, sing our original songs, have pride in what we’ve done well in the past instead of constantly ignoring it and pretending it’s never happened and never highlighting it. Be brave enough that we can still have great original proper football fan culture in this country enough not to get a drum involved just because stripey Nigel and his daft dozen mates who all wear black t-shirts and all live at home with their Mams in South London have a few songs that some people seem to think are impressive when there are more fans singing in the away end than their whole home parts of their stadium.

We are Manchester City Football Club. 128 years old. Not some new club with a brand new set of fans. We have great atmospheres at times and great chants about our club that don’t need anything else doing to them other than sing them more and maybe make some others up that use the word ‘City’.

Someone saying to me, ‘we should adopt the Ultras style’ is the equivalent of saying we should adopt this and put it into our fan culture:


It doesn’t suit people from the North West. Between just the two cities of Manchester and Liverpool we’ve produced more good bands and modern music culture than every city in mainland Europe put together. That’s why they’ve got no fucking style and all do the same shite in football stadiums. They’ve got no originality or uniqueness… that’s why Cockneys are copying them because those Southern softies are the same!

You also wouldn’t catch Leeds or Newcastle fans pining for this shit. Two sets of fans with great atmospheres who sing all their proper old schools chants and haven’t felt the need to divert from that and try and be something they’re not.

There's a 'temporary issue' on City's website which means you have to call to transfer your ticket to a friend for the Chelsea match.

It's quite frustrating. I'm certain it will increase the number of empty seats around the ground as fans can't be bothered with the hassle involved in calling support services.
 
One thing that struck me with the video is the make up of the fans. Pretty much all male and probably between 18 - 40, none of whom seemed to care what was going on in front of them on the pitch and all seemed to be happy in taking part of carefully orchestrated and choreographed singing.

Great post, we can have our own culture similar to what we had in 90 s. Our own songs and our own unique style. Unfortunately I think most clubs have clowns of the so called big match atmospheres.
