weepywall Posted February 28, 2023 Report Share Posted February 28, 2023 Thought the crowd were great tonight, people go on about acoustics, roof too low, roof too high, sound doesn't travel etc but when plenty are on it AG is as good as any. Was chatting to.a couple of Man C on the way back to TM and they thought the atmosphere was great...oh and I asked them the all important question...who do you prefer and they both said..they prefer us 4 4 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUTOR Posted February 28, 2023 Report Share Posted February 28, 2023 Dare I say it but I thought it was actually a little disappointing? Must be mad because everyone else is raving about it. Good in spells for sure. Man City fans were great 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphindevon Posted February 28, 2023 Report Share Posted February 28, 2023 It was absolutely rammed outside the stadium and in the streets and pubs around the area creating a superb pre match atmosphere. Which makes a mockery of the “official” attendances they give us for league games. Tonight was officially only a couple thousand more than Norwich, in reality it was probably 7 or 8 thousand more. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would venture that there were a lot less kids tonight and a lot more adults. That certainly makes a difference in terms of both atmosphere and the feeling of how many are in the ground.

Thought that they were a bit meh. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference today was just about everyone turned up, there really was nowhere near the official crowd at Norwich and many other games. The south stand, which is supposed to be just about sold out, was about 60% full in that game. Its just a shame we can’t get the real figure of how many are in the stadium. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liked their Fleetwood Mac chant, was quality with the oouuuhhh ooooouuuuuuuhhhhhhh tale end. Not very creative though!!!! Thought we were fairly quiet for large parts of the game. Then again ManC's ticky tacky 70% possession almost sends you into a trance like state. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be imagining this but I think I remember somebody posting those figures last season… From what I remember, you can typically deduct a couple of thousand from the official attendance on saturdays. More during August and midweek. Edited March 1, 2023 by Wanderingred 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d agree with that, pretty mesmerising football to be seeing for the first/second time, a lot of the time hard to take your eyes off it and tear into a song!

I sit right in line with the goal line on the LS side…and could see the curl of the cross…and knew it was always gonna end up just beyond the range of Bell’s neck muscles to get it on target. Would’ve been a right old final 20 mins had that made it 1-1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CiderJar Posted March 1, 2023 Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 It was good but I felt the league cup games of five years ago were better. Probably because of the results. I think if Bell had scored the roof would have come off. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezo Posted March 1, 2023 Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 I think the minutes applause killed the atmosphere, then when that was done it was building back up again it was kicked back down by there first goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I was sat in the Lansdown and I was just surrounded by people admiring how talented the Man City players are, which annoyed me. From my seat, the S82 lot did a great job, and the Man City fans probably edged it on noise. The atmosphere was better than the average league game but I was hoping that it would be a game where where every tackle and attack would be roared on by all stands. Often in my area it was just me standing up and clapping and shouting. It's highly possible that I was the most drunk, mind... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Team Posted March 1, 2023 Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 Certainly felt like a lot more than just 2k more than the Norwich game, it was heaving absolutely everywhere in the stands, sears and concourse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we conceded we were singing before the ball was back on the centre spot, every tackle / interception was roared and we barely stopped all game. I guess it just doesn’t carry well? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same for me (also Dolman) I also thought atmosphere wasn't as good as the previous meeting, but was great when we started going again second half. But, check the comments in the BBC report from Manchester fans and you'll see they were very impressed with our atmosphere/fans so probably the best gauge of how it actually was! Thought their fans were quiet volume wise, but did sing for a lot of the game in fairness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
