Is improving the atmosphere as simple as...

[uwerosler28]

I really want that to happen, those that won't sing can just piss of somewhere.

What right have you got to dictate who can sit where based on if they enjoy football the same way as you do ?

Never once said they would, I merely stated this would be the best way to improve atmosphere!!

I can hand on heart say this season has been the worst atmosphere I've witnessed in my 20 years of being a season ticket holder!! I sit/stand in the south stand and over the past 2-3 seasons (since the take over) the atmosphere finally started to pick up in the Etihad Stadium. However since we've become champions I believe the fans have become complacent, we have taken success for granted and become boring as hell!! Bring back the shit days of Maine Road playing Grimsby Town on a cold Wednesday night at least we showed passion OFF the pitch then!!! Rant over!!

Not sure what the atmosphere might have been like against Grimsby on a cold Wednesday night, but remember sitting in the Kippax on a cold wet Tuesday night, we won 4-0 and the atmosphere was very quiet.

I don't know if you actually go to the games but the so called singing sections at the Etihad are either side of the away fans last block of the East Stand and South Stand and of course the majority of noise comes from away supporters.. Almost if not zero noise comes from the Colin Bell Stand/ family stand or most of the East stand (I've been moved there for cup games and been told to sit down when we had a corner) if we had 1500 away fans at the end of the north stand maybe city fans might stand up and give some banter and maybe even sing a song (stranger things have happened)!!

Maine Road's noisiest section was The North Stand and Kippax Stand NEXT to away fans if I remember correctly the Main stand was shocking as was platt lane stand!! I'm finding it hard here to understand how you don't realise this already!!! Shall I explain the offside rule for you??

Unbelievable Jeff!!!!!!

of course i go to games
moving the away fans to two separate locations will do nothing for the atmosphere imo
and it also won't happen so I don't see the point debating the issue!

Like I've previously said... I never said it would happen I merely stated I believed it would certainly help the atmosphere ... It couldn't get any worse IMO!!!

That's all!!! as for the guy who said the atmosphere on a cold Tuesday night during a 4-0 win was quiet, maybe we have always had a hardcore 1,500 fans that sing... boring as fuck these days.. Standing is needed like being at the theatre watching a play!!

The moaning from the Main Stand usually drowned out any noise emanating from the Kippax.

Creating a three tier South Stand (preferably with safe standing), renaming it the Kippax with one of City's ingenious marketing campaigns (tying in the history of the Kippax with it and getting younger fans interested), encouraging all singers/hardcore fans to relocate there, and assisting the decoration of the stand by funding banners, flags, etc.?

Or is the declining atmosphere problem deeper than that and more symptomatic of English football as a whole.

Would be brilliant if they made a section specifically for people who are happy to raise banners, inflatables and flags. There are too many people who aren't up for that kind of thing (south stand and singing section included) which means that people who are up for it becoming diluted in to the crowd.
