Etihad Atmosphere - 2022/23

[DenisHasDoneIt]

Relocating next season. Cross between a library and a Year 6 class detention up in ES3. I’ve been to livelier wakes. Best football ever witnessed, and I’m getting shushed by folk with £100 worth of club-shop clobber, who wouldn’t know passion and suffering if it came up and carjacked their VW Tiguan. Gentrification, everywhere I look.

Awooo. Up the Blues.

In my usual 115 and people as always tried to get songs going. Around us stand up the champions was sang 3/4 times and nobody else joined in.

The new North stand expansion really needs to be done right because at the minute there's too much of a detachment for atmosphere.

The atmosphere isn't perfect but no ground is. Arsenal had empty seats last night and was quiet in parts despite beating rivals Chelsea.

I think if fans knew about Haalands guard of honour they'd have stuck around. It does feel like the club does these on a whim. Pre Leeds would have been great and would have amplified the atmosphere tenfold.

Wasn’t terrible isn’t good enough!

Would be nice if the whole ground was up for it all night, yes, but by now we know outside the SS it comes and goes. What I will say is I was in the gods for a change and could hear and see all - don’t think any of the PL crowds up and down the country would produce more noise on a Wed night after work…not an excuse just context

Didn’t think it was as bad as what people are saying personally. Been a lot worse.

Did anyone know there was going to be a guard of honour? I certainly didn’t so stayed until the end then left to get home once the whistle went. Nothing wrong with that.

Culture in English football has changed its very rare now you see atmosphere in most sections of grounds unless its a big match. Only way too generate a consistent atmosphere is to follow the way they do it in Europe but again that won't happen at its not in our Culture at least for the majority

well done to all those that pissed off again and couldn’t give a toss to applaud our record breaker off the pitch at full time. Oh I forgot we’ve got to get my car, train, bus, tram, donkey, bicycle , shameful.

I left at the whistle got to get the bus because if I miss it im fucked and not getting home until midnight if that’s ok with you! Did anyone know what was going to happen at the end? Did they fuck. Fucking off before the end I don’t like but once the final whistle has gone sorry but I’m off.

Said it before and will say it again, gates should be closed until full time whistle. At least trial it for a few games to show certain people that they don't need to leave on 83 minutes every week to get back in time for tea/corrie/their wives/a decent seat it the boozer.

Looks like I’m in a minority but I thought the atmosphere was fine tonight compared to a lot of games. Obviously not as good as the Arsenal game but that was never going to happen.

I tell you what. There’s a bloke in block 212 a few rows behind me (I’m row B, I reckon he’s D/E) and he never fucking shuts up. Not chanting, just shouting nonsense. No sentence without a “fucking” in the midst of it.

I love those around me who start chants, be supportive of the team and have constructive conversations but he just chats shite for 90 minutes without taking a breath. Doing me nut in!

 

[pride in battle]

It went weirdly quiet after the 60th minute, I think we were all fucked to be honest. I haven’t heard the Etihad like that for years, especially after Kevs second goal.

Everyone was drained/fucked :)
