The ultras at Crystal Palace or Rangers are a great example of how a singing section in the UK works.
Would even add Celtic to that.

I'm in 115 and I'm an Edin Dzeko singer but we're all happy to change to something different. It's up to the rest of you to stop moaning about acoustics and start joining in.
God, imagine if we orchestrated it like Basel at the Etihad, 90 minutes of the Edin Dzeko song complete with marching band and morris dancing.
But you will do some day, young 'un. I used to stand in the middle of the "singing section" of the Kippax in the late 60s/early 70s, but time catches up with all of us.I can't speak for the FOCs in L3 or the Family Stand.

Personally, I can't stand up for 90 minutes these days, but get as pissed off as you do about the selfie cameras and half and half scarves.
And don't get me started about.....................!
That's the last time I pass one to you then. Ungrateful sod!I suppose you could muster a song after you've unglued your mouth from all the toffees...
here comes the song police to try and drive a nail into the singing sections coffin ,well done mate you really are a big helpGod, imagine if we orchestrated it like Basel at the Etihad, 90 minutes of the Edin Dzeko song complete with marching band and morris dancing.
It is good that fans come up with ideas, always helps.
Think we have exercised just about everything that can be done apart from our key aim which is safestanding and possible new full end behind the goals when expansion next comes in.
You can plan as much as you can pre match but all that goes out the window when the game kicks off and in the English game its very spontaneous and banter / new songs. It isn't possible for anybody to dictate a song or when it should be sung. Fans also don't like rehearsed stuff which in Europe and other countries works well hence they make more noise.
Great example being Basel recently in the CL, solid 90 mins chanting with drums / megaphone. Its not accepted by fans over here apart from the odd one or two.
Fair points. It’s such a shame that we can’t find a solution to a problem that people desire to be fixed. There’s clearly a desire by some (how many, I’m not sure) to create a hard core “ultra” style singing section, but it’s never really got off the ground. The Kippax in full voice was intimidating, just as the Kop and other stands are today and it gives the home team a lift and the away team a bit of fear. Either way its a definite advantage for the hoe team, and as we want City to win, it’s an avenue we should continue to explore. Maybe it’s the new wrap-around stadia that are the problem as they don’t define stands, and therefore identities? Just seems strange how there is a problem we all want solved, but are unable to do so!
