Etihad Atmosphere - 2022/23

City fans and open ends don't mix and never have. You can't get our songs going without a roof.

The old scoreboard at Maine road was great imo

hell yes if the rangers fans got killed off with heat and hangover kicking in then its a tough one ! I remember that, whiskey and 35 degrees doesnt mix. Ok for the milan fans on espresso shots !

It p****s me off when we get inflatables and flags taken off us, how on earth did milan fans get all that lot in. Liverpool fans seemed to manage it to.

Our first game Vs burnley is a big one for many reasons. Im going to ask contacts at city to contact BFC and see if we can be allowed telescopics and banners in the away end like we have lower south stand. Give the team a good welcome when they come out on to the pitch as they deserve it more than ever. Will it work ? Lets see, most stadiums say no we only allow flags 1m x 1m with fire certificates unless dortmund turn up !

That would be brilliant at Burnley, this country seems obsessed with stifling the atmosphere instead of letting it thrive. Would be great to see that in away ends.

Before my time. But English atmosphere needs a roof, as low as possible, to bounce the sound around.

What do you think Istanbul did with all the bananas they confiscated?

No idea, but it was gutting to have my lighter confiscated only to see the stewards wandering about chain smoking

The old scoreboared end was great, when it poured down it was that packed you only got your head and shoulders wet

They only put a roof on the Kippax in 1957 and it was good before that

Poor memory but pretty sure I was-in there for the wba charity shield game .
we need one dedicated singing end behind the net at the Etihad imo .

Your right, it really works at burnley, I’ve been in the home end when we’ve played their in the past the noise city made was incredible!! But when your in our away end you don’t realise how noisy we are being!!

It’s always been like this. Low roof means a good atmosphere. It’s one of the big problems at the Etihad. When the singing areas sing the songs drift off upwards and can’t be heard properly by sections of the ground. The lower the roof, the better the atmosphere. It’s simple acoustics.
