Etihad atmosphere

[pirate]

the crowd was a bit quiet but its been the same for a while. As the football improves then the atmosphere will as well.

Some of you lot on here are weird, weird folk. 'I don't go to the games, or I do go and don't sing... I'd better get on the forum and moan about it.' What a fucking joke.

I moved to the singing section, and I sing, what more do people expect? If you want to help, fucking move. If not, shut the fuck up moaning about it. The 1894 group have really gone and above and beyond for the sake of the atmosphere and it's never good enough for some people. That truly is typical city.

These threads are always the same. If the amount of people who moaned about the atmosphere on threads, actually sang themselves, it would be like an Instanbul derby every week

Society gave football a middle-class makeover about 20 years ago.

Very true frank.

It get's me, when a lot who moan on here don't even attend the matches.

The only way it will get resolved is 1) get some of the old chants/songs going again 2) get some new chants/songs.....but then it needs people to do it and it seems most can't be arsed. Thought Saturday was flat as fuck with most of the noise coming from the Mackems, understandable as they were the hard-core away fans much like when we go away. Desperately need some new stuff though, with Manuel gone and Vinny and Pablo out of the team that's effectively 3 songs out of the window...... Shame, we could have a right party home and away so lets hope things improve

We need to forget about player songs and get some new City songs.

What do we have?:
The best team in the land and all the world (probably the last City song we made up and it's two decades old)
Come on City (awful!)
We are City from Maine Road (good but outdated)
You are my City (never catches on around the ground)
We're not really here (more of a celebratory one that)
And dreary old Blue Moon (boringly insipid)

And that's about it.

No "Manchester" songs. No new "City" songs for decades. Just a load of player songs or anti-United songs which are fine when those players are on the pitch or we're winning easily but they aren't songs to sing in a close/tense game to spur the team on.

Are we even allowed to sing " oh Manchester is full of t**s fan**es and city or is it not PC anymore maybe change fan***s to CUNTS should be OK :+)

Agree 100% with all what you say....ironically, the old 'City' chant which is inspiring and would destroy any chant/song from the away support is rarely used!!

No they dont. The best time in my life atmosphere wise was around 1998 - 2001. The crowd was much younger, groups of lads, and consequently our away following was much larger also. It was a very exciting time.

Now that demographic are in there late 30s/40s still probably going but the years of underachievement has resulted in a much smaller younger fanbase following on.

The demographic is different and as a result the crowd. For me going the Etihad is still a tremendous experience. 55k in the crowd every week and the blue moon, to herald victory on saturday, in SS3 was still ridiculously loud.

The crowd is different to days gone by, it maybe a bit more sanitised, but the plus side is scratching around for mid 20k gates and 15k in the cups are a distant memory. Swings and roundabouts.

It's become an audience not a crowd & it'll get worse under the new style & tactics....just look at Barcas atmosphere,awful.

We won't play rip snorting,counter attaching football. Lie down & endure.

Champions but without the feeling.

Another negative post from you surprised,you smell

Saturday was embarrassing at times, just listening to the away fans sing us out of our own stadium.

£5 concession to those living within 5 miles, get more hardcore fans rather than the out of towners which I must admit I am one of

turn yer hearing aid on or turn the telly up to full blast
