The Fans

Deserving of a huge shout out. Absolutely brilliant this season when at home. Before and after the game last night they were class.

Even though Sly and BT turn the mics down they were very loud and in full swing with the songs.

Absolutely class and they deserve mentioning.

They do deserve a very loud shout out, also I thought the Flags/streamers looked amazing and intimidating for Madrid players too.

Realised it was Pep that told the players to go to the centre circle to the and the fans. Top gesture as well. The fans deserve it.

BT definitely muted the crowd noise levels just before the game last night.

BT, along with Sly do it every game.
In the stadium, or on a foreign river it's always much louder.

Marca, Real Madrid’s house newspaper, described the Etihad as a ‘trap’ with an incredibly intimidating atmosphere. I don’t think the players can complain about the noise although I did notice Bernie whip up the crowd midway through the second half.

Think I read on here from someone who works in a broadcasting soundtruck that BT & Sky automatically turn down the crowd during noise during both pre match & commentary - the blisters think inflicting their biased script on the trapped audience is always more important than transmitting the genuine game atmosphere.

The thing with our home fans is that when they are loud they are loud but when there is a lull in the game its a fuckign library.

We need continuous support in big games as it 100% makes the players play better!

It’s the same at every ground up and down the country boys. There’s no other team that has fans that will constantly sing for 90 minutes. We’re not Germans or Italians. Barca and Real’s home atmosphere is dead.

Good question - about 4 rows up. I'm the one that never gets down from standing on the standing bar :)

It's also decent when the away support has good / abusive characters

I wondered because I'm in row x in 109 right on the aisle next to 110. Fair bit further up than you though, about halfway up the block.

Ahh no way. Look left ! I'll check my row

Years ago I was 109 quite far up but first line of those stood up when showsec bastards used to try and ban us and people would follow and sit down.

That was a right pain in the ass for a while. Up and down like the proverbial tart's drawers. I seem to remember it only lasted about half a season and they gave up.

Was years for me and imo it killed it in 109 and now where I am in 110 there's even tourists and empties on non glamour games. Knew everyone around us in 109 lots gave up or moved to the south third cheap ones. Tried to ban my dad vs Burnley on new years day for standing when the whole row was, went up and there were 10 show sec, two coppers and coppers said they cba with it and its City's problem.
