Honestly, feel the corner section is the better area for an atmosphere to come from, might be worth relocating>
Thanks lol - I am - well there's a few of us who 'run' 1894 and I'm included in that - I'm one of the founders of the group.
That's why I'm always spamming this thread haha.
Real credit to the 1894 group, you work very hard to get things going, if only the average fan did anything like the sameManchester33 is right in all of the posts, as well as that like he said there are about 7 of us founder 1894 members, we are in our 8-9 year now.
Only by doing it this long and trying every possible option to improve the atmosphere do we know what works. A good group of fans that will sing, like the moments we get in 115 / 116 / 114 after a goal, everybody joins in. This works and creates enough noise for the whole stadium to join in.
But like man33 said we stand in the middle off 115 and a lot of the time fans just dont sing when we do.
A good example of how it is fans response that counts is the trial we have done in the past for UCL games. The club give us access for grouped spare seats in 115 near the front ( these are what is spare due to cup scheme ). We have the chance for fans to buy 100 seats together and group up. We put out to 1000's ( even post on BM ) of fans to say come and group up in 115 to sing. The last time we offered this 28 fans came forward willing to move for that game.
I know 100 fans grouped isnt going to ring round the stadium, but 100 singers plus what is already in 115 that sing would get it going, it really doesnt take much.
Moving isn't very easy if on the cup scheme - when I tried to move once the the response was "you are not guaranteed your seat for the cup scheme", moving is too much hassle under normal circumstances.Manchester33 is right in all of the posts, as well as that like he said there are about 7 of us founder 1894 members, we are in our 8-9 year now.

Do you go to away games ? Why does it work so well there but not at home ? Is it just that “civilians” are more likely to join in having made a day out of it and had a few beers on an away day whereas home games are often just squeezed in around normal life ?Thanks lol - I am - well there's a few of us who 'run' 1894 and I'm included in that - I'm one of the founders of the group.

They were playing us though. If we play Utd/barca/lfc our ground rocks too. Sporting v Maritimo is quiet as City v BurnleySporting fans were amazing last night fair play to them. We need to wake our ground up. Follow that City

I’m hoping that should read power and gLory mate?thank you very much for positive feedback, nice of you to say.
I know i whinge about our poor atmosphere from time to time but the pat on the back and donations for display keeps us going and without kind fans that donate and help set up displays we cant exist. Its mad busy an hour or so before games to set up banners, but we coudnt watch a game any other way, proud of that blue badge.
We have 3 good home games coming up and some nice displays.
spurs game - POWER & THE GORY display
united game - we have a cheeky banner for united that we had a vote on with lots of fans, we also have a few other bits and bats
Sporting game - a new drop down banner related to a manchester based band as well as other flags
No, it's definitely meant say GORY, because it's going to be very gory when City eviscerate Spurs on Saturday evening.I’m hoping that should read power and gLory mate?

This is an absolute mystery to me as wellSupport sounded tremendous as usual at Norwich. How can it be that we have one of best away supports in the country, yet one of the worst at home? Genuinely mind boggling.
Did anyone notice the anthem all the Sporting Lisbon fans sang just before kick off? It was to the tune of 'My Way' by Frank Sinatra. I was really moved by it and made me think that we are lacking that anthem before kick off that unites the whole crowd and gets the atmosphere going. Blue moon doesn't give that buzz for me personally. I just envy the anthems that Liverpool, Leeds & West Ham fans sing as the teams enter the pitch.
Is it about being on a big hill without a hat ?YNWA isn’t even a liverpool song. As is befitting of that club, they stole it and claim it as theirs. Loads of clubs sing it. Meh.
West Ham sound ridiculous. A lot of east end ‘pwoppa geezers’ singing a nursery rhyme about blowing bubbles? Lol.
I literally have no idea what Leeds sing. Is it about farming or how much they dislike Lancashire?
