Really was mate, insane noise in there. Etihad was good atmosphere when it had 3 stands weirdly. It’s a stunning stadium mind just has no heart.
Bloke on our bus got filled in before the 4-0 win 1980. He wasn't with the rest of us in a pub as he was with his 10 year old son and he wanted to have a look around before the game. ****ing cowards braying a bloke in front of his kid.
I used to live on Crondall Street. Right near Maine Road. I couldn’t put my shopping in my pockets because they were full of spanners.
I agree with this, the away support is exactly that, getting behind the team regardless with loads of noise, whereas the home support is so quiet unless a goal is scored. I sit in row 10 of the North Stand and hear the away support getting behind their team just like we do away (in less numbers obviously). I will be at Hillsborough on Friday for my 11th away match, the most I have done for years and can't wait to sing my heart out for the lads, even at my old age
This demand for instant success in sport is just the way things have become in the world, nobody seems to have any patience at all. Especially the younger generation. Everything has to happen right now, be it success on the pitch or a new TV show. Honestly believe the old days of constantly packed stadiums with incredible atmosphere is becoming a thing of the past. Partly due to this demand for instant success but also many people simply can't afford it each week so when they go they expect to be entertained. The stupid kick off times are certainly not helping, how many on Saturday would have usually been out for a few hours before the game, having a beer, meeting up with friends and family and getting to the match in high spirits...that helps the atmosphere too.
