SORRY TO BE NEGATIVE was In the 3rd tier of the east stand in the end block next to the south stand. Was it due to being high up or was the singers and south stand shite for atmos today?? Seemed like we was being out sang big time by Wolves and didnt seem to come back with any chants of our own..Not overly important as we played well in the first half and got 3points.Its just the fact that I used to stand in singers and loved a good chant and the atmos. I cant get a seat there now.Has it been taken over by old buggers with 1,000,000 loyalty points?? Hope it isn't a sign of things to come.I said to the guy next to me that it could well be due to our fans not really knowing what to expect and was anticipating things.

We need more atmos at eastlands..like what it was like against Hamburg..

It was incredibly flat both on the pitch and in the stands for the second half. I can't help that the fans could have lifted the players or the players could have lifted the fans with a bit more effort.

as i was in the north stand 2day, the atmos was ok, even the north stand was singing

Yeah.Was expectin it to be electric but instead it was almost embarrassing. Whats happened!! I see Wolves chanting at our 'singers' section and our lads there gave nothing back!! had a great time with banter and gettin behind the team in that section in the past and would always give better than we got.Didnt see any of that today :-(...

Wolves fans givin it SSSsshhhhhhh.

There wasnt a chance in hell I could have left early today, I dont anyways but cant see how anyone can when its only 1-0 and both sides look like they still have a goal in them..

I thought the atmosphere was shite today you're right...South Stand hardly sung fuck all...I was in 109 east stand with the Mrs today and around there seemed to be the only people making an effort but it was still lacklustre...was disappointed as I was hoping for more being a sell out

Isn't it the case that the COMS is not designed to help create atmosphere at a football match. It was primarily built for athletics where cheering and singing is not important.

Because of the way its made a lot of the noise goes away from the pitch . In older grounds and stadia made for football, the stands and roofs are designed to reflect noise inwards. If we get a new tier added then the we can change the whole atmosphere by building it into the design.

Not at all. I remember when the designs for the stadium were first released and much was made about the acoustics of the arena being designed so that the noise stayed within the bowl.

We can't blame the stadium, we have proved in the past that it is possible to create a good atmosphere there.

I thought it was very quiet, especially considering it was a full house. There was a lot of tension in the second half though, we never really had the game won and I don't think that helped.

I think its prob the worst I have ever seen/heard it. Twenty odd thousand at last seasons UEFA cup games made a hell of a lot more noise.. So what happened?? Singers seemed shite!! Have they all been pushed out a replaced by boring gits or something?? We really need to make some noise in future and let the players know how excited and grateful we are with what is happening at the club..

Yeah true, but was really expectin more today. I moved from the south and for the past couple of seasons to sit in singers.Last season I thought it was great in there at basically every game I went to.Everyone singin and chantin together and gettin behind the team, those chants of "Oh when the blues.go marchin in"over and over, goin on for a 15mins. Just seemed very flat when I looked down there today like its lost its bollox. Hope its just down to fans havin to get back into the swing of things again. Was utter bollox in 3rd tier as far as atmos goes but I expected that. Great view though!!

I taped that, cant wait to watch it tomorrow i hear there is some right dross on it.
Dazza, east stand upper is not the best for atmosphere, I sat up there once and i got told to sit down.

Yeah..I kind of expect it to be a little flat way up there,but it was poor all around the ground today.Was just expectin it to be electric today and it ended up being the complete opposite.

Correct. People look around for anything to blame but themselves.

I find it interesting when people who sit on their arses and don't sing go off on one when they see players not putting a shift in. You get back what you put in and City fans are not what they used to be.

Today was my first game as a season ticket holder (been to loads of games previously each year scattered around the stadium), my ticket is in 128, and it was very quiet. I got my ticket there on advice from some friends, is was so quiet there though, I seemed to be one of the few joining in songs and chants, normally I try and get tickets around the away fans, I fear I may have got my seasoncard in a bad area :-/.

won't it have something to do with our opponents?
a good portion of songs will be about the other team or players.
what exactly is there to sing about Wolves?

I wouldnt expect the fans to be truely up for a 1-0 victory over a team we are expected to beat.

When the result is of paramount importance, or the opponents are in direct competition with us, or the result is life or death, the atmosphere will reciprocate.

Every game cant be like Hamburg at home.
