Etihad Atmosphere - 2022/23

I only watched the game on tele so can’t judge the atmosphere really.

I think we are very confident at the moment so we don’t feel the need to support the team quite as much? That showed when we went a goal down and our support became louder.

I've heard that kind of thing from a few German journalists. That there "appears" to be a great atmosphere at a lot of Bundesliga games as the crowds are noisy throughout, but it's not based on what's happening in the game. They said that they preferred the PL, even though crowds were often quiet, because the quiet would be tension, and the noise excitement, joy, frustration at events.

It all seems very choreographed and performative, actually seems like it’s for their own benefit rather than that of the team.
Support here is more organic and related to what is happening on the field
Watched from the 93:20 bar afterwards as a few of them were trying it on with the old bill, then cried when they got nicked

Rangers and Celtic do the same as the Germmans and it's brilliant atmosphere both also have good chants though so it does sound more natural
 
Atmosphere was tense until they scored.

I think it's probably to do with the game. Like people have said, we react to what's going on, in the game. And if it's dull or tense people just watch.

Dissapointed with Dortmund fans. One of the clubs I look out for their results, huge club, huge fan base. But they didn't fill it and I didn't see them escorted in. I usually enjoy watching the away fans marched to the ground.
 
We were boring at 0-0 because we didn’t get behind the team but improved a bit when we went 0-1 down.

I thought Dortmund had the most boring sounding songs I’ve ever heard from a visiting set of fans. Even their fans didn’t sound convinced they were enjoying singing them. Unenthusiastic monotonous shite.

Four drums for 1,500 of them? There’s just no fucking need at all, it’s so fucking annoying. One is bad enough, but four? Fuck off!

We shouldn’t be allowing that. I can’t take an umbrella in if it’s raining or a bag bigger than an A4 piece of paper but their fans are allowed four drums and eight drum sticks? At St Helens rugby league they’ve got a stadium ban on musical instruments. I think we should follow suit.

Those sort of atmospheres ruin the occasion.

All I know something needs to change atmosphere isn't good enough for the great team we are watching

Apart from last night, we’ve had the best start to the season for atmosphere I can ever remember.

As hard as we all try, we cannot convince our fanbase that the CL Group Stage is bigger than an EFL third round tie against someone like Yeovil Town. That’s how we always treat them in the stands, in fact we’ve had better early round domestic cup atmospheres than we do in the CL Group Stage.

I can’t even get 90% of my mates to go to CL games. There’s only me and one other in the UEFA Cup Scheme out of all my mates. Just not interested, which I find completely mental behaviour! But what can I do? I can’t force them to like the CL.

But so far in the league this season we’ve been brilliant. Atmospheres have been really enjoyable.
 
The first ten minutes usually sets the tone and that's what happened. The thousands of people sitting in areas who don't usually sing either start joining in or don't. That stupid incessant bonzo dog doodaa band racket they made made it very difficult for songs to spread anywhere, so it settled into a bit of a torpor then, Even the tourists were quiet and they love a bit of singing.
