I genuinely think the weather does have an effect on the atmosphere

The Sky+ games they're not there; they're commentating on the television pictures.
It sounds terrible. I wish they'd give you the option to watch without commentary.

The atmosphere at the CBS is miles above 99% of games I saw at HR. Not even close.

Think what's missing is the entire ground getting involved.
At wembley it felt like songs came from all sections
At CBS it's singers corner and yesterday it reached around a bit further than normal but not past the corner flag on other side of main stand
Be good if we had another singers corner type section behind the goal

Can you hear the Telegraph Stand sing? No, no! Can you hear the Telegraph Stand sing? I can't hear a fucking thing!
May need some work

Strange how it moved over the years, but originally it was up the back of block 30 where we used to have the singers when we forst moved in. Think I gradually moved over to be closer to the away fans then the Telegraph Stand wasn't in use for many many season in lowly L1 and 2

Wembley = Special occasion and all that. People just go crazy and let their hair down for 90/120 minutes (bit like when they go on holiday and suddenly become the life and soul of the party) but then have a peculiar ability to revert back to silence/occasional mumble for the next nine months.
I'm only referring to 80% of the CBS by the way, just in case some idiot was going to challenge my observation!

I think it is perception from where you are sat in the ground. I felt there was decent noise at times coming from different areas yesterday and I sit pretty central.
Like at Highfield Road, if you were in the West End it sounded incredibly loud. But if you you were down the other end the West End always sounded muted and muffled, because the volume got trapped in under the stand.

To be fair, I was sat in FZ North stand for the Portsmouth game (this season either South stand or block 17) and there were occasional brief outbreaks of joining in but nothing that's gonna raise an outhouse roof.
Previous to this season I had either ST or POG for North stand and there really isn't a great deal going on.
I get that singing isn't for everyone but even 10% would generate something, alas its closer to 2%

I have been to Anfield and Old Trafford numerous times and both have been like a morgue.

That's great but what about afterwards?

Mostly when it’s a song everyone knows and can understand it gets pretty far tbf. Stuff like the Saka song or whatever don’t do well, but Haji Wright Wright Wright or whatever doesnOK.

So why would anybody want to emulate that?

Yeah I don't do the Saka song. Can't believe there wasn't a single outbreak of 'I do like to be beside the seaside', yesterday.
Not for my want of trying. I did get some odd looks, Same too for my re vamping of the Psychedelic Furs - 'Albion, you're pretty shit in pink'!
Am I just a bit too old for this?

Yes, I was there as a child and can only remember seeing one other City fan around us.

The atmosphere has been fine since the product on the pitch improved, crazy that - Almost like it had nothing to do with moving the away fans
- EMC song is good but a bit tricky when he’s not even on the bench - Twist and shout goes further around the ground than you think

nonsense, the atmosphere before was good even at times when we weren't great

you do know "shitty in pink" works much better for that song? no need to crowbar any syllables in.
I think that’s a stretch. The atmosphere earlier in the season was mediocre to say the least. It’s almost always in sync with how the team is playing.

My point is all stadiums can lack atmosphere. No fanbase keeps it rocking for 90 minutes.
