Etihad Atmosphere - 2022/23

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

I try not to get too flustered about early leavers, but a 3pm kick off on a bonus bank holiday in a mild overcast day probably goes to show how much of this is cultural and habitual.

It’s mainly season ticket holders who are leaving early out of habit. It doesn’t happen really in the champions league when season ticket holders don’t attend

In 117 so my view may have been distorted. Lots of singing in SSL1, sometimes many different chants at once, mixing in with the noise from the Kippax Corner who were good today. SSL3 didn't get involved as much today which meant the chants didn't spread around the ground much. Mostly clap alongs being sung which didn't help either, but when they got going they sounded great.

Thought Leeds were quite good in terms of noise, but some of their chants like WWYWYWS showed they were clearly not self aware. Outside the South Stand post match there was a little scuffle, saw some fat bastard Leeds fan giving it then shitting himself when a police officer started pushing him down the side of one of the buses parked up. Looked like a child about to cry when the teacher tells them off.

The early leavers were taking the piss as usual. Absolutely no excuse on a Saturday 3pm, especially when it's only the second last home game in the league during a title race. It's an unfortunate habit amongst many these days.

Overall, not too bad but nothing special. Could have been better but definitely not completely silent like some are suggesting.

The streams of people leaving on 80 mins today was embarrassing.

I thought it was that.

Sorry for my ignorance ........ but what at exactly?

Think I read when they lost the European Cup final to Munich they believe they were robbed and actually deserved to win so have decided to claim victory.
Strange bunch!

Has nobody mentioned that in the Blue car park they have opened the rear gates onto Alan Turing Way as soon as the mass of walkers on that far end of Joe Mercer way have cleared. They’ve done it the last three games and we’ve been off and away no more than 10 minutes after we’ve got back to the car, and we stay to the very end of the game and applaud the players.

If we kicked off at 6 in the morning they would still leave early. It's part of their match day experience.

There were some going around the 75 minute mark. I think the Leeds fans spotted them and started singing 'your support is fucking shit'. In any game I think it's poor but given the context of where we are in the season it almost feels like a complacency and entitlement. You're probably watching the greatest team you'll ever see in your life in potentially its greatest ever season. There's thousands of fans being priced out of going and witnessing this and you're that indifferent about seeing the lads secure the 3 points you'd rather head home.

Let's be honest, Leeds didn't pose any real threat going forward but I don't believe it would have made a shite of difference and they'd have left anyway. I think we are too hard on ourselves with regards to atmosphere but the early leaver syndrome is harder to defend.

I'm sure because "red 2 hats" gives a shit, people who need to leave a little early (as it may save an hour on their journey home) will stay till the end so "red 2 hats" doesn't feel alone when clapping and wolf whistling the players.
You do you, red 2 hats, and let others do as they please. No need to get triggered by something so trivial.

If we're in a position to win the league against Chelsea, will you stay with myself and others and enjoy the possible celebrations or will you still leave with 10 minutes to go and save yourself an hours travelling time, if you decide to stay it shows your argument is bullshit and you just follow the herd.
