Etihad Atmosphere - 2022/23

That was at Highbury. I was there and very much of the opinion at the time (1990ish) that E’s were indeed good, but that was still a bizarre experience. The Shamen got booed to fuck.

I've been to Highbury several times but it was definitely maine road. LOL

Would stop going if some knob on a tannoy was screaming all game telling me when and what to sing

Works though doesn't it

Well you obviously weren’t there this time…

'You Chelsea c***' - Arsenal fans' reaction to The Shamen and 'Spurs' dancers

Half-time entertainment was very briefly a regular sight in the Premier League, until Sky Sports' idea was axed after live performances like The Shamen's gig full of 'trolling' at Highbury

As I said it was a home game at Maine Road pretty sure it was a night match too. And your correct I wasn't there that year

Why would you buy a ticket in a section of the ground where you were instructed what to sing?

Were you at the game tonight Tim?

If you weren’t, you haven’t got a clue. If you were, you’re lying.

Copenhagens support tonight was f*cking superb regardless if they had somebody orchestrating at the front of the lower tier.

2 tiers, 5000-10,000 fans singing for 90 minutes. Getting the rest of the stadium singing. Driving the team on for 90 minutes. Whilst City’s support stood in silence, bar the odd chant, for 90 minutes.

Those City fans who went tonight will know I’m not lying.

Not for me, I prefer an atmosphere where the football isn't incidental.

There were two City games with two different bands during the first few weeks of that season. The one we are talking about was The Shamen at Highbury where we lost 1-0. It’s discussed in the above report.

Villa away listening to some coked up 20-something yonner and his mates singing ‘Johnny Stones’ whenever anyone tried to get a different song going was different
Not just the FoCs who know how to kill an atmosphere
A lot of our fans are complete and utter dickheads

So just to clarify - because City fans at a City match were singing about a City player who was playing, that makes them complete and utter dickheads ?

None stop singing v Pin drop silence

Non stop singing with absolutely no regard to what's happening on the pitch.

Not for me.
