Etihad Atmosphere - 2022/23

[JWCH-99]

Sounded ok on the box today, leeds had bursts of noise but not all the time. I don't think it helps that the team takes their foot off the gas and the fans seem to do the same

What do you want from them. The team that is 2-0 up should have their support behind them- it’s pure entitlement only singing when we are scoring or dominating. Not trying to be a dick but just sick of the excuses- the atmosphere was shit at the ground AGAIN

So after going 4pts clear of Arsenal, both of us played the same games, Arsenal being 8pts in front of us 4 weeks ago, you want to moan about the crowd?

You haven't even posted in the post match thread.

Are you upset we won?

There's no need for excuses, people can support the way they choose. For some it's loads of noise and singing, for others it's not.

If.youre worried about the atmosphere make.more noise yourself and stop making choices for everyone else.

I pondered this with a mate after the arsenal game. Do you think the atmosphere was better before the south stand extension where there were more away fans pitchside? I’ve always thought having a noisy raucous away end always added to the atmosphere. Could be completely wrong

Shocking today

I didn't think it was that bad today, all things considered. But I do think where I am in the stadium shapes my perspective.

Leeds outsang us for pretty much the whole 90 mins, other than right after our goals :( Honestly, we have to be better than this, considering what the players are fighting for. Our players are handicapped not just by the officials at times, but also by our home support in games like this. Our support is honestly shite. It’s all well and good singing against Arsenal, but tbh they don’t really need us in those games. They need us on days like today.

The lack of effort from loads of our fans at times is disappointing yes, but not sure you’re right about the full 90 mins, we gave as good as we got for a lot of the first hour (by we I mean South Stand). They were really loud tbf in the last half hour, as they gave it the old “look at us we’re getting beat and we’re still singing, we’re the best in the world”. Definitely some of our fans need to look at themselves letting them own us in the last half hour though - if more than 20% of the stadium put more effort in, fans like Leeds wouldn’t be be able to take the piss at all.

I’m upset that we are chasing a treble and our support is up there with the worst in the league on days like today. Most fans only bother for the big games. It’s embarrassing and it does ruin my match day experience. I don’t need to post well done city in the match day thread. I sang all game trying to show them by appreciation instead

I thought the crowd today was ok. One thing I noticed that was on several occasions there was 3 songs on the go from various blocks.

Felt like the only time it got going was "city, city the best"....etc.....

Not suggesting we need a Munich style conductor, but there was an attempt to get things going in what was quite a flat game

You’re overreacting tbh, arguably the best fans in the country were at ours and they had nothing else to do but sing to save face. They’re good but it’s all they’ve got.
