Etihad Atmosphere - 2022/23

[Sibierskii]

I’ll never understand the need to whip out your phone and record players celebrating a goal. When will you ever watch it back? Just fuckin smile and clap

3rd tier SS had quite a few tourists but they helped make the noise and they stayed to the fucking end, also City tearing Spaniards apart again, I laughed so much when we sang that

If the ground would have been full of local fans, they would have stayed until the end as well.

felt privileged to not only be there but to be in that particular stand as well. Honestly prefer it compared to east and colin bell. Raucous atmosphere.

It will be even tougher next year for Cityzen members. Club expects members to fill seats for the "lesser" games but when it comes to the "bigger" games they reduce availability so seats can be used for hospitality/ sell for extortionate prices on 3rd party reseller sites.

It doesn't have to be anything complex for a fairer Cityzen window for the biggest games. Maybe purchase history from the last 5 years and do 20, 10 and 5 games before it goes to a free for all (if it gets that far). They'll be reluctant to do that though because it would hinder membership sales.

Looks they're doing that with the exchange tickets for Chelsea tickets as well mate. Haven't seen any of those come back up for sale like Arsenal. So unless you have a lot of disposable income at the start of the season and buying all these fixtures up front you're missing out. That's the 'priority' towards purchasing tickets the membership supposedly gets you.

The "tourists" get a lot of stick But the best atmospheres in the main of late have been the UCL games I see lots of them having photo opportunities and the smiles and joy on their faces is great. They may have adopted City, for whatever reason to me is irrelevant, the game is a global game and we should embrace the fact that the best club team in the world is based in Manchester, although it belongs to the city we have to share it. As I said in a previous post we locked the doors to Maine Road 20 years ago and no one would have dared dream that we would be where we are now Love it

Basically we're a victim of our own success, gone are the days where the fa cup/uefa cup games used to be £1 for kids

If tourists are getting a ticket instead of proper blues then it's wrong.

This ‘tourist’ notion is not all correct.

We have been building an increasing fan base for a decade who can’t attend every league game but can get out for all the cup games.

There will have been ‘one offs’ last night who were able to get tickets but this phenomenon is going to continue which is why we’re increasing capacity by 9000.

Last nights game was watched by a global audience of ? MILLIONS ? many whom will now be followers, visitors, tourists and ‘fans’ of City, we are now a true global sporting institution, people like us.

The club is benefiting, MANCHESTER is benefiting and I’m loving it !!

Maybe, most games I see them streaming out between 80 and 85 mins though so it was really nice seeing 99% of the ground staying till the end

We need a bigger fucking stadium !!! :) :) :)

Replace the word instead with ahead then this is bang on.

I'm not sure what's happened here pal, but the post you quoted isn't mine

It's like that most of the time tbh, I'd take the 3rd tier over the first any time

Really? The evidence doesn't support that view, the only ones I saw leaving early last night were locals

If I didn't have a fear of heights before last night, I'd have gone there more

Fantastic support last night, loud and intimidating, the steamers as the players came out was like Argentina, it looked immense with all the flags.
Every player was exceptional and I loved the fact the ground was still bouncing 10 - 15 minutes after the final whistle, even walking back to the car fans singing and waving flags, what a night.

Wow. Anfield my arse.

Translation from Marca:

"One might think that being a team built with a chequebook, City have papier-mache fans. It is not like this.
"The Etihad is a boiler that has nothing to envy to that of its Old Trafford neighbours. The difference is that all their lives they lost and now they win.
"The atmosphere was possibly the harshest
Madrid had encountered in many years. A complete trap."

It's not that bad, I made sure I got the lowest row 299 seats when it was first built, I just can't look up at the roof because my balls shoot up into my mouth

The fuckin irony of these facist cunts proclaiming we're a team built with a chequebook, they have no self awareness the cunts!

for at least 2 of the goals BT cut to the crowd and nobody is celebrating especially the last one.

You have to be on the WUM boss.

It was fucking amazing last night in the ground.........and outside. Proper old school
