Etihad Atmosphere - 2022/23

So what chants do you expect the South Stand to sing for 90 minutes to get other stands and the whole stadium singing?

The chants are not different in nature to the chants in 111, 110 and 109 when most of our vocal support was there. I know because I used to stand in 110. I don't remember anyone complaining about the nature of those chants.

The South Stand start and sing a variety of chants. Some chants get the other stands and stadium joining in, other chants don't.

All you ever hear from the other stands is Come On City, Blue Moon, Best Team In The Land, Stand Up For The Champions.(started by the South Stand)

If anyone would like to post a list of chants they know the whole ground will sing without the South Stand starting them, feel free.

I'm not supporting the South Stand.

You only ever hear them from the other stands because they’re the type of songs City fans like to sing… City songs.

Oh Man City, The Only Football Team To Come From Manchester
City, We’re From Manchester (Go West)
We’re The Pride Of Manchester
Na na na na na na na na City
City ’Til I Die
We All Follow Man City, Over Land And Sea
You are my City, my only City
…plus many many more

We always used to sing those, they were sung most games up until about 8-10 years ago, our core chants, then one day - bumph - they disappeared, never to be heard again… now barley any of our chants in SSL1 have the word ‘City’ in them and only the odd few are these kind of chants.

It might take a while to get these off the ground again since it’s been YEARS since we’ve heard some of them. but I GUARANTEE there is more chance of getting a better stadium-wide atmosphere with these chants and new ones like them than the current crop.

Against United the atmosphere fell dead on its arse at 6-1 up because ‘Gerrard slipped, Suarez cried’ (what are we singing against United for?) and songs like it were getting sung instead of stuff like this:

No offence being caused by them.

They’re just awayday smaller away section chants (and they’re bloody great at away games… although could be about ‘City’ more!), but they’re not home stadium-wide chants.

They don’t carry around the stadium, they’re quiet so people can’t hear the words and many won’t know the words…

SSL1 have become detached from the rest of the stadium - away fans to one side, pitch below, cooperate section above, and the quietest stand in the stadium to the other side… SSL1 has become a mini-home stadium away section of its own singing the awayday away section suited chants.

Just read the thread over the last few days and we’ve been discussing it to death. To me last night concluded the argument forever. And you’ve written your own list there although you can add Wr Love You City, Hey Jude, Champione, City, we’re from Manchester, If you hate Man United, We’re NotvReally Here, Haaland, Oh Kevin De Bruyne, off the top of my head. Anything that doesn’t go clap clap clap clap clap mumble mumble mumble mumble clap clap clap clap clap basically.

Clap clap clap clap, monotone bar the odd note (in the way we sing it, that is, it doesn’t have to be so monotone!), quite quiet, quite fast, new, people don’t know the words.

I hear what you're saying, but I can well remember "we went to Rotherham" being belted out by the Kippax and that has 100's of words, a few verses, a chorus and lasts an age.

Everyone knew the words and that was before faceache, twatter and mobile phones. It was a proper song, a City identity and if you didn't know the words you fucking found out.

Follow has 6 players in it, a reference to the best team in the land (world) and is plenty "anthemic" enough to be sung with gusto around the stadium.

Hark now hear is far more complicated and that's stood the test of time.

For me, it's just whether you're arsed enough to join the fuck in.

Bar SSL1, 111, 110 and 109, when do any of the other stands start those chants?

I have started and joined in with those chants myself on plenty of occasions over the years. And on plenty of occasions the rest of the ground hasn't joined in with those chats. They have joined in on other occasions. There is no specific reason with this does and doesn't happen.

Because you keep singing your clapalongs. In your defence I think that’s because you can’t even hear each other unless you clap because you have no roof.

I suspect this problem got worse after the stand was extended and the roof lifted. Thank god for for the south stand upper tier in the big matches.

We went to Rotherham has only ever been sung in pubs and concourses and occasionally at the corner at the top of the Kippax. It never went round Maine Road and was rarely sung even on away ends.
