Etihad atmosphere

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Half the time the acoustics are to blame. Anyway why do we want to be like Dortmund or Stoke. We are City, we make a fuckin' row when we want.

Says he, sat at home watching on TV? So, your mate braved the weather but you couldn't be arsed? Then you come on here and comment on the empty seats..

Unbelievably stupid

I'm in 304, and my eyesight's not what it used to be. Keep it as it is, I say!

You should have gone to Specsavers then!

The worst thing we did was making the north stand a family section. We need another group of singers on that side to get the atmosphere going round the whole ground.

At the very least it'd be filled rather than empty seats due to kids not going.

Well technically my seats weren't empty lol. I wasn't criticising was merely making a point.

Do people really not bother turning up because the weather is a bit grim?

But surely you understand the irony of sitting in front of your TV, having given someone else your SC because you don't fancy the weather, notice the empty seats and then comment on this thread. I'm not having a go at you personally, but there's likely to be some inclement weather in the next few months, so what constitutes acceptable weather to attend a game? I do a 200 mile round trip every home game and it would need a storm of biblical proportions to make me even consider not attending.

Just sayin...

Ground is nowhere near full 10 minutes before kickoff, thousands head for the exits on 40 minutes and there are thousands of empty seats at the start of the 2nd half. There is too much "artificial" fan rousing going on from the club before the game, a simple bluemoon rendition is plenty and any fan noise is getting drowned out by the tannoy system. All clubs are the same, only when it is a big game do the fans get excited no matter what club it is .

edit for you, the ground is nowhere near full 10 minutes after the start of the game

Slightly off topic but I can't help thinking that if City attacked the South Stand end in the 2nd half it would help the atmosphere. 95% of matches is the other way round. 115 did their job again yesterday I thought :-)

this, need to attack where the most of the singing is, let the away team attack away from there fans in 2nd half
