From a personal point of view.
I think the OP was at a different game, or he sits in another part of the stadium away from the singning sections?(nothing against the OP)
Blocks 111/110/109 were signing non-stop for the first half an hour of the match. The longer it went on the more I thought we were going to replicate our European cousins of singning non-stop for the whole of the first half.(sadly it didn't happen)
After 30 minutes of non-stop singning and different songs the singning did die out until half time. The second half was much quieter overall, but there was still quite a fair amount of singning and banter.
Raggish?
Just as a comparison. I watched United play Fulham last week on the TV. 76,000 fans. It was like a f***ing morgue. You could hear a pin drop. Nothing apart from a few chants of U-N-I-T-E-D, United, and another couple of half hearted songs.(and we complain about our atmosphere)
Nothing against the OP and others who moan about the atmosphere, but overall the atmopshere at city has improved enormously over the last few seasons. So have the variety of chants.
We've all been through this topic/discussion before. It comes up every season. The shallow stands don't help. The high roof doesn't help. Having both our singning sections split by the away fans doesn't help. Playing teams like OPR who only bring a few hundreds fans doesn't help.(compare that to Arsenal in 2 weeks time with a full away end)
I've stated this on numerous occasions. Our home support/atmosphere isn't the best in the PL, but it certainly isn't the worst either. In my opinion it's in the top 5, behind......
However, what I would like to see, and it still isn't happening, is more chants, banter, etc, involving blocks 111/110/1o9 ad the SS. Across Europe you see grounds with two singning sections/ends chanting to each other. It's briliant. It's just a shame it's not happening at City still.
Let's see what the atmosphere is like against Arsenal.
