The best atmosphere we have had in our stadium by a long shot.

What a day it was :bluescarf:

A fantastic day, one of my favourites following City. August bank holiday, top weather and our first home game back in the top flight was a lethal combination. Had hell of a hangover the next day. 3k Man City fans made a great noise and brought a fantastic atmosphere too, glad we shut them up though.

Up there with the best in terms of watching City in my lifetime.

Days like that make me want us to get back up there even more.

Gutted I missed this game, although I have no regrets being at Reading Festival instead!

I know a fair share of people who been to the Reading festival and only have good things to say but £200+ for 3 days of music, is it worth it?

Then again I am into music festivals such as Creamfields, Ultra, etc which cost a bomb.

Definitely worth it. Considering it usually costs anywhere between £15 and £40 to see a single band live, £200 is a bargain for the amount of great bands that play and the line-up is brilliant every year.

5 days of camping, drinking, partying and seeing your favourite bands with your best mates, nothing can beat it.
Best weekend of my life by a mile.

To win in the league against a 100% up for it Man city is so much tougher than a cup win when no big club really cares about the game.

Ironic that you have cardiff fans doing the poznan yet we can't repeat that kind of atmosphere when we don't play big guns lol

We never created that atmosphere since & not sure if we will again for a long time.
I don't know why but everything just clicked atmosphere wise that day. Jesus they were even doing the Poznan in the grandstand!
If only we could get anywhere near that on a regular basis!

I said after that game, that we would need to keep up that awesome atmosphere for another 18 home games last season.

Sadly it didn't last too long.

We really need to get behind our team like this game.

We have done it before, so we have the potential to achieve. Do we have the desire to get behind our team, win, lose or draw ?

Was a great day and only 3 games I can really remember a great atmosphere last yr. the utd game was pretty good too.


Since the roof has been lifted it doesn't Sound great from the ninian, more Like 20000 in the millenium stadium, echoing..

Be great if we could really get the atmosphere going, but I think it's hard with a poor away following and nothing much happening on the pitch.
First half v Wigan was like watching a welsh league match.

Looking forward to the Leeds game that normally gets us going...

i never really considered the effect the new roof has on things to be fair!

there was a fair amount of singing in the canton, not much but a bit, suppose with that new raised roof it must have sounded dead

Fair enough, not the biggest fan of the bands but always questioned the price. If it's your cup of tea then I can see why you enjoy it. :ayatollah:

The music at Reading Fest perfectly sums up my music taste so that's why I love it so much, I'm sure anyone would have the same experience at any other music festival that suits them :)

i've been going to festivals for about 15 years and i can say its the most well thought out, customersentric (is that a word?) fest i've ever been to. one of those ones i'd say go to, even if you don't know one single band
