Manchester City: Etihad opener vs Chelsea a chance for Blues to pump up the volume
By Samuel Luckhurst
"The expanded Etihad is set to house 55,000 supporters when the Premier League champions arrive and the focus will be not just on City's players but their supporters."
"For years, City have suffered silly taunts about the 'Emptihad' and the heckling that greeted the stadium's expansion announcement was as inevitable as a Sergio Aguero derby goal.
Some City fans haven't helped themselves. King of the Kippax editor Dave Wallace blamed the 27,276 crowd on one rain-sodden Manchester day for Notts County's visit on the number of churchgoers in City's support. 'It's only Notts County' would have sufficed."
"The Etihad's growth is a calculated risk"
