Fuck it I'll try again.....'Ooh Guardiola, He's not Spanish, he's Catalan, He could have stayed at Munich or he could be in Milan, but Pep has come to City cos he doesn't need a tan' (or he's got a masterplan) to the 'Balotelli' song

You can't hear them because away fans up there can be deafening. The Sunderland up in SSL3 on Saturday were excellent.

I know I'm stood next to em, Embarrassing, Hopefully a 1 off, When the south stand 3 does get going it's as good as anywhere in the world.Playing shit teams does not help when we just expect to walk it.

the etihad is no better or no worse than any other prem ground, todays etihad wipes the floor with the maine rd of the 80s and 90s and i wont be told any diffrent by rags on a wind up and non going match blues,

It's not that easy. The reason why it was located where it is was because that whole area was vacated by the away fans when the 3rd tier of the South Stand was built so it was a unique opportunity to fill it with pure singers. The trouble is, some of those that relocated to that area then relocated again to the £299/£380 seats in SS3 and the gaps were filled with fans who don't have much of a penchant for singing so the effectiveness of it was diluted before a ball was even kicked.

It would now be impossible to relocate the singing section to SS3 because it's virtually all season ticket holders and hence there's no room to stick hundreds of singers up there.

There is enough room,You just relocate the away fans down there and you come up to there end.Solved would be one of the best atmospheres in the league.

Then you end up with all the away fans together behind our goal, that would be rubbish.

Why? You wouldn't be able to hear em or see em as the noise does not travel,But they'd be able to hear us alright.

Mate ive got no beef with the way it is now but atmospheres have changed within all stadiums.

Not every game was buzzing in the 80s and 90s but as a whole the two eras are not comparable. One game I will never forget is stoke in 98 when we turned it around in the second half and in those days the singing would start, for the big matches 1:30 onwards next to the away fans on the Kippax. Now you are lucky if people can be arsed rushing there pint to see kick off
