The atmosphere was the best ive heard for years.
loved the drum.
now we need a chanter !
this club has changed dramatically over the years.
new ground
new owners
new stratosphere
we have embraced the change. now . Can the apathy towards new european methods of creating an atmosphere change.
long may it continue
well done lads
No we don't need a flaming chanter, just like we have never needed a flaming chanter. Last weekend I was at a Spanish game which had a flaming drum and a flaming chanter and it killed any atmosphere..... like it always does. Forget the drum and the chanter and just open your gobs like we used to. Simple as that. European methods my arse.

If it was, I watched it and it was a monotonous drone (like most continental "ultra" groups)

Today v Bournemouth it was OK at times. But it was louder v bmg with 24k less in the ground. The drum might fuck people off but it got a reaction. It will be used v Celtic and hopefully it will used right i. e not overpowering songs but keeping a tempo so that they spread round the ground and carry on for longer. It's OK saying just let people sing but they clearly don't. So it's the lesser of two evils. Do we use a drum sparingly or sit in silence every game. People are gonna have to weigh it up.

I'm in lower south stand where there are songs being started all the time and don't always catch on, but it seemed to me that it really got rocking when the songs started in level 3 and filtered down. I think if we can get the third tier making that sort of noise throughout the game then our atmosphere is going to get better and better.

south stand level 3 were great second half, the sound travels much better from up there
there was a big group in level 3 at bac joining in.....this then trans-ended to rest of stand......resulting in people who dont usually sing getting carried away with the atmosphere and joining in.south stand level 3 were great second half, the sound travels much better from up there
Simple for me this.......have 15 singers together in a row near front, middle and back of stands all in all levels of south stand and these people will cascade the sound

Can someone tell Paul Lake that sitting in his comfy seat underneath Level 1 roof is NOT where he's going to hear any atmosphere. And also that Pep is NOT going to be used to 'bouncing, raucous, atmospheres having spent a good deal of time at the Camp Nou.
I wish people eulogising on air about foreign atmospheres would see something other than a local derby's crowd highlights on Youtube.

Why dont the club allow far more flags and banners inside the ground like at liverpool. The same few flags are there in the SS. In the 70s I used to take a claxton horn which made a really loud sound and helped the atmosphere. Could hear it n MOTD when we scored. The family stand are a complete and utter waste of time when it comes to atmosphere - they contribute NOTHING.

Maybe the idea of the FAMILY stand is to have an area were FAMILIES can go to watch the game without worrying what new words little Jimmy will learn to call his teacher on Monday rather than to sing for 90 minutes
Brilliant today, lost my voice telling people tonight how good it was.
Last two games it's really changed for the better. On a few occasions noise and songs from South Stand spread right around the ground.

Also people eulogising about the atmosphere at Maine Road. It wasn't all that.Can someone tell Paul Lake that sitting in his comfy seat underneath Level 1 roof is NOT where he's going to hear any atmosphere. And also that Pep is NOT going to be used to 'bouncing, raucous, atmospheres having spent a good deal of time at the Camp Nou.

I think the atmosphere at the last two games had been good, and you'll not get it much better, except maybe at the Derby. Also, Bournemouth didn't really contribute much yesterday,, or Gladbach on Wednesday for that matter, but then again most of their fans had gone home.
Oh, and bring back the drum.......

They should give the drummer a kit and let him move around the pitch during the game so he could get different parts of the ground going.
They could give points for hitting him, too = everyones happy ;)

Good atmosphere yesterday.
And no signing from away fans. So it doesn't need away fans, to create an atmosphere. So can we fuck off the idea of having to be next to them & create a 100% City end or are we going to allow yet another fantastic opportunity go by, when they extend the ground, then lament it for 50 years ?
