As mentioned above the chants need to reverberate for longer , it will gee up those that want to sing but a bit shy

The noise level was much better .
Think DMD needs a new hearing aid
I think your just peed off that after your predictions that the volume would be much worse your so wrong .
And the view is much better of the south stand goal from the North Stand then it ever was from e1
Even those who had been against the move near me said they were now of the opinion home fans should have Been in the North Stand sooner
Stood in N4 I never heard one negative view from anyone around me but plenty of posative views

With the best will Filey, you were stood with some noisy people, so you think it must have been noisy everywhere else, but as you couldn't hear east, we couldn't hear you. Last season I was in the middle of a great noisy group. From my relative perspective, where I was yesterday was weststandesque in comparison.
Just watching the game on tv, and the City til we die is the quietest I've heard. The commentators mention the subdued atmosphere.
The frustrating thing is, I want so much for there to be a good atmosphere. I sang my head off yesterday, as I almost always do. How many westanders claiming it was improved can say the same?
The fact (and it most certainly is a fact) is that this could have been done so, so much better had the club taken the time to talk to fans. Even those defending the move seem to add a caveat on how it could be made better.
.
At the end of the day, it is what it is, it's up to us to make it work, but trying to claim it's good when it patently isn't will hinder that, and is in fact the negative approach, as opposed to constructive criticism of the outcome and the process.

Do you think you could get to a game if someone picked you up and took you home after the game ?
Maybe we can arrange it for October
Got a few things on in September but could pick you up and take you home after game and we could sit together anywere you like .

I'd reserve judgement on the atmosphere until the next home game
why?
Perhaps the sending off of Chessie got the crowd behind the ten men..
I hope I 'm wrong though

I thought the atmosphere was good yesterday and the north stand move was a big reason for this.
The north stand when it got going sounded more like a decent away following. It appeared most of the fans in there wanted to join in with the chanting.
Decent noise has as much to do with acoustics as the numbers of fans involved. And I do not think the same number of fans in the east stand would make as much noise because of this. Behind the north stand is the large screen and police box which bounces the noise back towards the pitch. May I suggest at the next fans meeting someone suggests the club infill the gaps under the roof at the back of the east stand with cladding. It should not cost much and could result in fantastic noise around the ground.
Evidence of fewer fans making more noise in a ground with good acoustics was at Lokeren last week. Anyone there could not be impressed with the atmosphere created by a couple of thousand of their fans.

Agree with Filey. Good effort from parts of the North Stand & East Stand.
Stoke fans were good in parts as well. It's what you need to generate atmosphere- the two sets of fans bouncing off each other.

Plenty of grounds around Europe with no roof on them make a lot of noise. It is nothing to do with acoustics. It is a lot of people joining in. And we don't really have that many. Look at yesterday, when you looked behind the goal last season all the fans were stood up. Yesterday most were sat down, many with their arms folded.
Burnsy just tweeted 'a pat on the back for whoever decided to move the fans to the north, cracking atmosphere'.
Burnsey gets criticised for so many of his views. TV pundits said it was subdued, it sounded it too.
It's a shame who ever it was won't step forward really.
And it will be better on Thursday v Lokeren. They were very noisy and together in the home leg and I expect them to lift the roof off on Thursday night. It is a huge game for them and they are bringing a decent support. Our vocal support will get better game by game, yesterday was like the first day of term and still it was 100% improvement on most home games previously.
If anyone was on the Ferries going across to Lokeren can they back me up and call for 'Caravan of Love' to be adopted as our official club song?
It should be played very loudly before kick off.
It has taken time but the KC is finally finding it's voice.
Believe me I've been in many City crowds over the years at both ends of the football spectrum and for a Sunday lunch time kick off the vocal support v Stoke was spectacular. Don't let anyone convince you it wasn't.
Not from where I was stood (whoops, sat now) and I could see you. Just watched it back and there were big periods of quiet.
We need to accept it can be improved from yesterday or we go backwards.
We certainly shouldn't be relying on a noisy away support. Done well, we could be doing it ourselves.
You need to accept you've called it wrong, we've got six pages of people saying the atmosphere was much improved, you're alone in claiming it wasn't and you're having to do the same on CI now.
Well he isn't alone in claiming it wasn't that good , just back to what it was a few seasons ago after some terrible atmospheres in recent seasons
I put a lot of store in what GENERAL POODLE wrote on CI and his comments don't contradict what DMD has written in my view.

That's desperate, especially from someone who reckoned it didn't interest them when it was raised at fan meetings, but even the people seemingly happy, comment that the other stands were quiet.
A sell out first game against a Stoke, with controversial decisions should be noisy.
Anyone that thinks it means anything in the bigger picture is condemning us to more weak atmospheres.
We need to accept it can and should be improved. To think it doesn't is foolhardy.

I wasn't there, but it sounds like you're out-of-step with the majority, Dutch.
