Etihad Atmosphere - 2022/23

One thing I'd love to see change is Blue Moon before games. Either play the whole song, which I'm sure most of us know the words to, or play it once then just play the music (slower) to let it go around the ground so it's the fans you hear. I hate how it ends with the happy clapping fast part, which we'd never sing otherwise and which ends to it fizzling out and complete silence before fans start the next song. You want the anthem to ring around the ground and end in feeling completely pumped up. It just doesn't work having the quick version which inevitably leads to silence.

Or stop doing blue moon and do hey jude and let that ring round.

The whole idea is to get everyone singing. Having the music helps people feel confident about joining in, then you could cut that so it's just the fans which gets the goosebumps going and you want to leave it so that it flows into more singing. As I said, the current setup just leads to the fast part where it just fizzles out.

I’ve been begging for this for a long time. The fast version is cringeworthy. Reminds me of fucking goal celebration music.

Cut the music after a few seconds and trust the fans to do the job. Even our quiet ones have shown they’re capable of singing Blue Moon for 30 seconds!

To be fair @trevorriley has lobbied the club on this issue, but said it fell on deaf ears sadly.

The club is trying to orchestrate an atmosphere they should leave it to the fans to orchestrate their own atmosphere organically.

In 20 or so years they will have the crowd singing adverts for products they are sponsoring.

As others have said, we've asked for that to happen for years on here, but the club won't and don't listen, and they still play it.

Sometimes I wonder if it's worth having threads like this as the club don't take any notice of honest feedback.

They should at least trial it for a short period of time to see if it makes any difference at all.

Hi mate, have the club given any indication as to why they won’t consider changing it?

Like you say, they could at least trial it!

Considering Pep was on here before we played Chelsea away and took the absolute piss out of us, I'm sure he'll have mentioned it!
