Rejected petition Rename the Colin Bell stand at the Etihad Stadium the Colin Bell Kippax stand

Decline in atmosphere is severely affecting enjoyment of a traditional pastime

More details

The atmosphere is rubbish
People don't go to the game just to watch good football, atmosphere is a key part of the experience. When spectators talk about iconic sporting moments, they are referring to the atmosphere more than the sporting performance
Passion from the crowd is proven to instil passion within the players and scare the opposition
