Best atmosphere at the CCS

[Citizen's Nephew]

Sore throat, struggling to talk, yes it was superb. Couldn’t get my normal seats (stands) in the Canton so was in the Ninian, it made a big difference that the majority of the Ninian stood all game, makes for a much better atmosphere, sitting down is too restrictive.

What about the people who can't stand for 90+ mins though Des? If I'd had a ticket for the Ninian I'd have not been able to watch the match. People buy tickets for the Canton knowing it's going to be standing. I don't want to sound like a killjoy here but how would disabled people plan for this?

To be honest why would someone whose disabled want to climb up the steps of the Ninian? My right hip is fecked, so I had to sit down every ten minutes or so. My City ST is in the Ninian, my Red Wall ticket normally in the Canton. There’s a massive comparison between the atmosphere in the Ninian standing v sitting.

It wasn't all standing I don't think, mainly the Canton side which I assume was mainly people who are normally in the Canton but couldn't get tickets there

Oh dear... Sanctions beckon!

I was far end of the Ninian stand, half way up the lower tier. Was definitely all standing

From where I was sat, middle of the Grandstand, I can confirm it was the two ends of the Ninian that were standing. They were sitting in the middle sectons.

Aye this. We always used to stand at the Grange end of the Ninian as it’s next to the away support (for City) but then the sit down police arrived. Like old times last night.

Best atmosphere in the ground I’ve seen for a City match is a toss up between the Palace Semi Final and the Leicester Play Off game, but, as Pearcey says, Belgium in 2015 is the best I’ve experienced- if last night was better than that, it was something special.

Belgium 2015 , superb atmosphere plus Belgium fans were great as well and it was a stadium record attendance

The Belgian fans were brilliant. Very noisy but respectful and sporting. En route to the game I was driving on the M4 wearing my Wales top. I was overtaken by some Belgian fans who stuck up a card saying 2-5 to them. I gave them the thumbs down and they laughed. A great night.

I thought Belgium was better tbh. Even though it was a lesser game by definition it felt more complete. Last night for me at the end felt a bit like half time or the first leg was over etc. The final will be something else

Ah there we go. Cheers!

I had a few rows of kids behind me - all blowing their f***ing horns (last minute panic on purchasing the tickets meant I ended up somehow in the corner of the Grandstand/Family stand). Didn't quite spoil a fantastic evening/atmos but came close.

No, just at the Wales games is fine

Really annoys me that does. When we first went CCS I was pleased there was atmosphere in two parts of the ground and it's just been stamped out there, whilst admittedly being actively encouraged in the canton stand, but still, it's annoying.

Brilliant atmosphere last night. As was the Belgium game of 2015.

I thought the atmosphere in the ground when we beat the jacks by chopras late winner was pretty good

It sure was. I think most of us stayed in the ground for 15 minutes after the full time whistle.

As did the players

As did the players

It was a strange game that they dominated, scored from a Marshall mistake. We levelled against the run of play. Could have lost it when Van Der Gun shot straight at Marshall. They started to sing "You'll Never Beat the Jacks", then Wildig's header fell straight to Chopra who couldn't miss. They'd had the bragging rights for 2 years. We pinched it, undeservedly, from them.

That’s right, the middle section was civilised and didn’t feel the need to obstruct others’ view. I agree that last night was certainly in the top couple of atmospheres there has been in the CCS.

[Hilts]

Theres been a lot of brilliant atmospheres at the CCS.

Thursday sounded great after the 1st goal. Sounded a bit nervy before that

Spoilt by that Max Boyce song though.

Not that many considering how long it's been open!

Leicester Playoff
2-1 Jacks game
Belgium 2015
Thursday night

they're the ones that stand out, I'm sure there's others that I've missed or were good but didn't quite hit the heights of those 4 examples
