Safe Standing: Rail Seating in South Stand

I know I’m like a stuck record but significant change in the Etihad stadium atmosphere will only come when the two singing areas are brought together.

I agree with this totally. I have sat in the South stand for years and there seems a real segregation between the blocks. Often we sing the same song, but out of sync with each other. Hopefully safe standing can change this.
 
Used to hate the hassle from showsec goons in the early days.....Key 103 stand.

The fuckers got the police to arrest me for fucking persistent standing......The friction carried on from AA lower in the New Kippax. How many years has this battle between fans and authorities been going on?

They lost.

The sooner some standing is allowed the better.
Using safety certificates from the council as an excuse is BS

I sit in the Colin Bell upper and see it even clearer. It’s worst case scenario. Also, the occasional singers around the rest of the ground only join in if a song “spreads” both ways from that end, which only happens in the biggest games. One end would be louder; would spread quicker and would make the rest of the ground join in more.

That’s real atmosphere: when a song spreads around the whole stadium and fills the pitch area.

Yeah I agree.

The atmosphere is generally good in each block in the south stand, but it doesn't always come together as one. I'd hope safe standing resolves it, however, we all stand now anyway. So you would have to hope they try to bring the blocks together more.

I remember this in the South stand. They would make every row sit down and then someone would start the chant, if you love City stand up, then they would have to go back to the start hahaha They never got to my seat though, I always remained standing, forever more
 
Atmosphere will still be shit cos English fans are shit. Fans make the noise not rail seats
