Etihad Atmosphere - 2022/23

[Blue Smarties]

Fair play to the young ish lads towards the front of 109. Wish you were there every game.

 

[willipp]

Gutted I wasn’t there but sounded fantastic on the telly. Well done blues, really added to the great night.

 

[Reegan98]

Best in a while that.

 

[EastMidlandsBlue]

Was up in SS3 today, absolutely great up there

Thought atmosphere was good tonight just wondering why is it every time we play at night loads of wierdos start putting their torches on their phones and waving them around?

Five fully grown men in front of me in 327 waving their phones about like it's a boy zone concert, each to their own I guess, atmosphere was great tonight bit flat a few times but that was the nature of the game, overall fantastic must have sounded great on the telly, didn't here much from the away support we drowned them out.

Ian Bishop was sat just behind me with some American friends. One of them was a lad in his 20’s, he was bang up for it, would gladly have him in place of sone of the non singers up there each week. Sometimes you just get to see the potential if more singers were grouped together up there or in future in the expanded North Stand. If we get the organisation right it really could be class.

Atmosphere was decent, just don’t get why the club give so many tickets to schools in the family stand for games like these?
Not exactly a “low demand” game, is it?

Fuck me I just assumed it was kids.

7000 seats to fill in 3 years. They will be in their early to mid teens by then. The club are looking at the next generation of City fans, not the FOC’s. :-)

My mate reckons there should be a block in the new stand for under 25’s - could be an interesting concept, certainly better for atmosphere than a dedicated family stand.

Was quite good tonight.

Pockets of the stadium sang all game, but the vast majority only joined in with the same songs they always join in with and I always feel like they’re begging for more.

There’s still a real lack of ‘Hey Jude’ and ‘We Love You City’ etc. (which didn’t get a single airing all night) to keep the whole crowd joining in. It felt like it was bubbling into what could have become a whole stadium cracking atmosphere but the songs that everyone like to join in with just fizzled out and just aren’t there enough.

I kept trying with ‘follow follow follow’ and in the second half with ‘Everywhere’ but they’re so difficult to get the majority joining in with them (‘Everyhere’ is a really poor home chant, you can’t really tell if people have stopped singing it so don’t know where to join in with it).

It was absolutely beautiful without a drum ruining a Champions League night… thank you Leipzig fans, thank you a hundred times!

City, if you’re reading, please put a ban on all musical instruments being brought into the Etihad. Games are so much more enjoyable without them!

 

[Didsbury Dave]

From the Colin Bell stand I thought it was another good example of how we as a fanbase unwittingly sabotage our own atmosphere in some games. Whenever the game built to any king of crescendo we lapsed into ten minute drone songs which don’t carry or spread fro behind the goal. Granted, there are always loads of tourists at these games in the other stands which don’t help.

 

[Northblue]

Fuck me I just assumed it was kids.

Same, didn’t know blokes were doing that shite

Haha. We nearly always read it the same and posted at exactly the same time tonight.

 

[Gingers Dad]

Mint that tonight in SSL1 cheers lads. Like the Kippax back in the 70's. Awooooo!

 

[East Level 2]

Fuck me I just assumed it was kids.

Oh no, we have some childish adults as well. Mind you it was during the 30 minute breather between our final two goals and they had to get their entertainment somewhere.

 

[BringBackSwales]

I thought it was very good for 65 mins last night, went a bit flat after Haaland went off but I’ll take that every time if we win 7 0

Sounded really loud on the t.v.
