A few observations. The atmosphere is certainly better now, than it has ever been at the Etihad. When I watch match replays on tv after being at the match, I am amazed how crowd noise has been diluted. Silva got a fantastic reception, for example, but hardly came across. There are certainly more visitors. Against Everton last year, for example, 4 lads from Norway were sitting beside me, who walked out after Kun was crocked because they'd only went to watch him.
Another thing that I have noticed is that, with the acoustics in the stadium, different stands are singing different songs at the same time. I have often struggled to hear the singing section from SS318. There are plenty that do sing in our section, but we tend to take up on songs that we can hear, or start our own chants on occasions. Apart from the teenager that sits next to me, that is. He had moved from the family stand & sticks his fingers in his ears because of the noise.
