You are correct they were singing 'is this the etihad', everyone around me was commenting on how strange it was and we are at the away fans end of the ground.

Ah, ok, fair enough. That makes sense. I thought they were implying it was like a home game for them as they were making by far the most noise.

Surely with the number of TV cameras at games these days there must be footage of this. Whoever finds it and posts it will go viral.
I’m also curious as to how it came about: it was a load of people doing it. Whoever it was take a bow.
If they carry on with this behaviour I will have to consider moving
It's also so low. A load of the sound will just drift over the NS.

I thought they chanted is this the Etihad?!... didn't know that... explains his ludicrous assertion that "the home crowd support has been amazing all evening"... City fans singing "Is this The Emirates?" obviously couldn't be heard in the Press Box..

My ears were ringing Saturday night, it was load in the north stand.

Probably one of the best atmospheres for a Premier League game at the Amex, everyone was in dreamland in the North stand, what I loved is that towards the last few minutes I looked around and it seemed the whole ground, north, west, and east were all standing willing the team over the line, just electric.
I could be wrong, but at one point in a lull I swear the East stand started a chorus of Albion before the north, I nearly spilt my Bovril.

Great atmosphere and a pleasingly large amount of people still three at the end for Free From Desire. It was a cracking night.

A bit like when the North Stand fans say that the East (typically the family stand cops it) and West don't sign. It's bullshit.
But part of it is the acoustics - I thought the north WAS quiet for the first half (I also thought the City fans were pretty shite throughout), but others will say different. Not that I'm really bothered - sing if you want, don't if you don't want to.
I think we can all agree is was noisy for most of the second half, though.

I'll see your ESU and raise you W2! People were standing and singing in 1901!.....I've written a strongly worded email to the club this morning. Scenes like that are unacceptable!
Indeed. Watching on the TV it was great to see that with five minutes to go it wasn't the usual half-empty ground. And not only was it full it appeared to be absolutely buzzing. As you say even after the final whistle (which was after nearly 10 MINUTES added time) it looked like the vast majority had stayed.

Amidst it all the mayhem at the final whistle I was actually taken aback by that.
To be very precise, I believe his house is before the Hurstpierpoint sign, so I don't think he can claim to live in Hurst. (Hassocks it is then
)
