Atmosphere was the worst I've ever seen when the away fans have brought 6k, and I have another criticism as well. *major tin hat time, in fact, I am immediately withdrawing to the bunker after this post* The Blue Alliance killed any chance of an atmosphere in 109-111. I am sincerely not trying to have a go at the Blue Alliance. They're great blues and I'm sure they don't do what they do on purpose, but I can finally see why the atmosphere is so sterile in the South Stand. They kind of take over but instead of helping spread the songs, they move straight down the repertoire. They are just noisy enough to stop others spreading songs, but they are not persistent enough with one song to get others joining. The match isn't a coach or train trip, or sitting outside a bar on a European away day, where you're entitled to go through your whole repertoire, including songs you've made up yourself. At the match you should be trying to create as much noise as possible, if that means singing songs other fans know better, or even just persisting with one song (other than Toure Boys - which was pretty funny) for more than a minute, then that's what you should do.
*off to the bunker I go*. Sorry Blue Alliance, I am trying to speak the truth and hopefully you may take some constructive criticism from it.

sorry but thats rubbish. we were singing the norm songs yet all those in 110/111 simply refused to join in.
yes we were singing a few newer songs but if they dont get sung, they wont spread around (the new toure one and the barry one)
Don't be sorry. You continue doing your thing and 109-111 will continue outsinging the South Stand.foley87 said:sorry but thats rubbish. we were singing the norm songs yet all those in 110/111 simply refused to join in.

It was a full house when Forest hammered us iirc.

so much so, they want to come regularly, yesterday was brilliant seeing so many kids coming to the game.
cup games at the etihad should be priced to fill the ground, yesterday proved it.
