These threads make me laugh. It's always someone else's fault.
'Oh the 1894 group should have done this', 'there's not enough Guardiola songs', 'we need to stop singing about united', 'I couldn't hear any atmosphere whilst playing on my IPad & eating a prawn sandwich'.
My view on it is this. Myself and like minded blues put in hours and hours of our own time to improve the atmosphere. We've organised a 'singing section', worked our way into the club, helped give our fans a voice in the media, represented City in National and European fan gatherings to get a better deal for you guys etc. We literally can't do any more than that. If we get 600 people to relocate to a singing block and only 200 of them sing there's nothing we can do! If all 600 of us are singing and no one else in the ground joins in, it's not going to be loud and the atmosphere won't be sustainable.
Everyone is quick to whinge about the atmosphere, yet I know for a fact there will only be a couple of you on here who do anything about it. There are hundreds of spare seats for the Bucharest game in the South Stand. Tickets are £15 there. There are no excuses - move there and sing if it bothers you. If not, stop pointing the finger and try and get it going around yourselves!
The only way the atmosphere will improve is if more people sing.

The atmosphere was pretty much like
Most games last season. That said, I was pleasantly surprised by a fair bit of singing by some Blues in East Stand Level 3.
This thread typifies why we are not close to a better at atmosphere. Most people expect the rest of the fans to take on their idea rather just joining in the singing.
That plus we're to cool or nervous to chant Blued.

It didn't sound too bad when I turned my tv up but too many of you came back late for the start of the second half. That's fucking poor from our 'so called' support.

Just thinking about songs we have lost ,Mancini,ballotelli,and pellers,the 6_1 is getting old zaba and Vinny don't play much all great songs we don't sing anymore even the blue moon before kick off carnt be played anymore.I've always been one of the biggest critics of our atmosphere and it's just same as ever. Crap. In fact I think the sound carried around the ground better when the singing section was in the corner of East Stand Level 1 rather than being in South Stand Level 1 which is sandwiched between the away fans (who completely out-noise SSL1 if they get a decent chant going) and the silent Colin Bell. And a lot of the rest of the ground is simply lazy.
What doesn't help though is that we never ever have any new City songs. All our new songs are always player songs now and that's not what you sing in a tense game, it's City songs we need and we only have a few and they're all dead old.
Only segio,Silva and kdb have songs ,
Your right we need some new songs and stuff that gets put on here is far to wordy to get sung and none are ever heard at games

Atmosphere is down in the majority of premier league stadiums. A few reasons for this.
Obviously these are generalisations and there are noticeable exceptions
Sitting down creates a more conservative fan
Proper dickheads have been priced out
Johnny pissed ups don't get in on mass now
A disconnect between players & fans
Lack of home grown players
No downward pressure on all but a few teams in the league now
Stadiums too big with high roofs
Shit pop music without sing along choruses for fans to adapt
Over zealous policing. (i remember me and my mate being told a few years ago to "keep the noise down lads" and that was in the north stand of M.R!!!

Predictable reply. The dynamics of crowd atmosphere is made up from lots of factors.Stadium size,acoustics etc. The sheer number of games has an impact as well as does the socio-economic and age profile of the fans. Bottom line though is the crowd has got to be entertained and if the game/skill levels/violence is not particularly exciting then they won't be too excited will they.Where did your chess match take place?
