When i go to city games i usually get myself in the south stand, next to the away fans or just the other side of the away fans, purely for the banter and the noise generated in this eare of the stadium. For the derby, ive managed to get 2 tickets but in the 3rd tier, who else is sitting in the third tier east stand, and when ive sat there before the atmosphere is dead, but with it being the derby can i expect it to be buzzin even up in the heavens? as like many of you i love to sing at the top of my voice!

Don't be getting yerself all excited about the derby atmosphere up there.
Last season i was disgusted at the way so many just sat and seemed to accept defeat.
Blue man dan and i tried several times to get a reaction from the crowd with chants and songs. The only reaction we got was funny stares....and Dan was asked not to sing the Tevez song.
On the way back from half time, I stood on the steps at the front facing the crowd and tried to get them going...The zombies just smiled at me....But no fucker made any noise.

I also think there were a few rags up there...staying quiet and trying to be invisible.
I think the club should replace the seats with gravestones....It was that sort of place.

im not the only one.

I'm in the 3rd tier Colin Bell next to the SS and fuckin' love it. No mongs but plaenty of songs..................oh, and still got my eyesight so can see all the game!

Different sections of the Ground for different types of Fans. It's the same wherever you go.

For the CC Semi the ticket office fooked up my tickets and didnt give us our season ticket seats in 102, ended up in the 3rd tier ... not much atmosphere up there

I wouldnt care where I was sitting as long as I got to see the match

I sit in 326, opposite the halfway line.

bring a flask and a travel blanket, or we'll know you're an imposter trying to stoke up an atmosphere. Bah!

really, it's not that bad on Derby day, but is for most of the season. I used to sit in 324 and literally, in a game against Fulham under Pearce, one guy actually fell asleep. Snoring and all. Never seen owt like it!

I was thinking that it would'nt be that bad on derby day, yeah i am gratefull that im going to the game, and cant wait! i was jus getting an insight to what it was like up in the 3rd tier on derby day, im in 308 east stand so more in the corner! so its above the away fans in the south stand so the atmosphere im hoping, fingers crossed will be electric...... and ill be there along with anyone else who wants to help me in block 308 3rd tier getting the atmosphere buzzin i wont stop all game!

Here's an idea: Go, and fucking enjoy it. Create your own atmosphere if that's what you're in to.

wow, I often come on ere and see a lot of times people at each others throats after games or on various other topics. I don't see why people get like this, i was only askin wot it was like. were all city fans i would never have a go at a felow blue!

sounds like tier 2 colin bell on monday. After the second goal i managed to get a tevez chant from one young lad by turning round and g'ing them up.

Even Zaba has to try and get the crowd going these days!!!

I like the new Zaba song....
1 Zaba 2 Zaba 3 Zaba leta!
4 Zaba 5 Zaba 6 Zaba leta!
7 Zaba 8 Zaba 9 Zaba leta!
HEEYYY! Zabaleta!!!!

I was in the third tire for the Chelsea game in December, and the atmosphere was actually quite OK. But us playing great, beating Chelsea in a very good and exciting game of course helped.

I was up there for the Derby where fowler scored in front of the rags, was a decent atmosphere.

im also in the 3rd teir, usually in the first teir, but 6 of us sat together, will be having of few beeers first so reckon we will atleast be shouting our heads offf ha ha

Dont worry it will be cool,this Derby is easily as big as the Carling Cup game in fact probably bigger.

You really do have to come on here more often then and get the digs in first especially when we lose. ;)
Third tier aint that bad, trust me i sat there once.
