Exactly!I hope you are as sarcastic as you sound-;)
theres 33000 people singing at Wembley for cup finals and the whole ground sings at times United Liverpool etcWhere would you get 7000 singers from ? 3000 is enough to start...
Dictating to the club is a no go...
Just watching the darts… any table that isn’t singing is met with the rest of the arena chanting ‘boring boring table’ at them.
If, at Chelsea at home, SSL0 aren’t singing from the off, I’ll try and get ‘boring boring South Stand’ going round the ground.
The singing section is diluted we don’t have control over people there half the people went to tier 3 in the place when club undercut the prices.The thing is about this thread, we are likely all singers and we are talking amongst ourselves in here about non-singers who probably never venture into this thread.
We probably need to think of other avenues to put it out there that we need more people singing in the stadium.
Maybe 1894 could put out a YouTube video or an X post at the end of the year/in the new year saying how disappointing the atmosphere was in 2025 and that our fanbase needs to be more proactive in getting the amtopshere going? Maybe first target the Singing Section to act like their name, then suggest the rest of the ground also joins in more with the Singing Section?
Whatever any of us are doing or not doing at the moment clearly isn’t working. As much as any of us in this thread likely try and sing or at least be positively vocal in getting behind the team (atmosphere isn’t just singing, afterall… loud and forceful ‘come on’s, ‘go on’s, cheers and jeers are all part of an atmosphere), it isn’t stirring the Singing Section to consistently sing and there aren’t enough songs for the rest of the ground to join in with.
I'm in 015. IMHO SSL wasn't too bad yesterday although I don't really get the obsession with the Amorim song. Didn't hear a peep from "Kippax Corner" though. Just saying...
He@pride in battle and @M18CTID, do yourselves a favour and take your "discussion" to DMs. If it continues on here, you'll be taking a break from this thread.
So YOU take action and go into the North Stand, at the moment its shit in the south because it isn't our HOME end, get in the North and make it OUR end, it isn't difficult is it...oh wait...theres 33000 people singing at Wembley for cup finals and the whole ground sings at times United Liverpool etc
There’s 7k home fans that stand and sing at home games now. They are just split between 011 to 021 and then all of 314-315 and the back few rows of 316-318.
You’re happy for the club suits to dictate to the fans though ? People that are overseeing empty seats and away fans across our ground everywhere. Same club causing anxiety in fans as they don’t know if there will be away fans around them when they get there.
We can’t depend on the club for ambition on atmosphere, it’s clear they have an agenda on revenue which supersedes everything else.
We need to do what we can control, which is SS and kippax full of singers and lively people.

So YOU take action and go into the North Stand, at the moment its shit in the south because it isn't our HOME end, get in the North and make it OUR end, it isn't difficult is it...oh wait...
It’s fucking embarrassing.I fucking hate that Amorin song
Oh wait we have a membership that we regularly survey but no let’s ignore that democracy and mandate and go off one person on Bluemoon who speaks for himself.He

I've kinda abandoned hope for NSL2, if you build a 400 bed hotel you'll give the best seats behind the goal dead-centre to your hotel guests, splitting up any value-priced safe standing vocal locals. That's economics.
TBH I'd prefer they used the NSL2 as a day tripper cluster, and freed up seats elsewhere. My 2 lads are only interested in SS3, having been seated in every other stand in the past. We've had a great buzz up there for a few games, I would love to see a big push to get more vocal fans clustered there...but the other factions will believe their sections are just as good vocally.
It's never gonna be hopping in December and January while we're ticking along in the pack, compare Villa no title in 45 years, Arsenal 20 years, Utd 13 years, Liverpool 2 in 36 years. Success starved fans get more excited by minor victories, we'll be well up for the run in... Arsenal at home, Villa final day, UCL knock outs,
The main 1894 lads are always out early they are on the flags and up on 2nd tier doing drop downs or holding things in place from about a quarter of an hour before kick off. It’s not them coming out with 3 mins to kick offI wrote a negative post to you last season about the timing of attendance of 1894.
You responded quite strongly that they were always in place at 10 to 3(sat ko).
I was in my seat at 20 to 3 yesterday as I thought we would have our IN MEMORY, service which I try to respect.
Anyway instead I watched the slow entry of all those in the South Stand, particularly 1894. At 3 minutes to 3 it was less than half full. West ham fans had started chanting at 2.45pm.
There was no noise coming from the SS at 4pm, apart from your support is ffs from the West Ham fans.
This is not a critiscm or opinion it is fact.
It is not your fault or responsibility, but it is also not the fault of our club, or other clubs.
3000 rail seats, thats it, fill it with singers and off we go...How are 1894 going to make the 8000 capacity 2nd tier a home end?
There are 5000 GA seats, sitting, not standing.
There are GA+ seats. I can’t remember how many. 700?
There is no dedicated singing section/block we know about yet.
There is no youth section/block we know about yet.
There are no prices for tickets and season tickets we know about yet.
Bar the 3000 safe standing seats that are spread along the back and down both sides of NSL2, splitting up the safe standing fans, we don’t know the prices for those seats, the amount of FG season tickets for those seats, and match day ticket prices for those seats.
Bar the limited information the club has released so far about NSL2, we know nothing else.
The club has not pushed NSL2 as a proper and atmospheric home end. Only the fans have done that by hoping it would be that
There is a new 401 room hotel which is attached to the NS which will accommodate fans who will be watching the match from NSL2. Amongst those fans there will be singers, fans who won’t sing, fans of other clubs who have come for the match and a weekend in Manchester, and away fans who will use the hotel as a way to get a match ticket/s via hotel packages.
Taking all of the above into consideration and much more, please tell us how 1894 can make NSL2 our home end without the club engaging with the fans, working with the fans, and making it happen?
You constantly question 1894’s motives, but you never question the clubs motives. If the club wanted to make NSL2 an atmospheric home which all the fans wanted, the club could have started that process months ago, engaged and worked with the fans, and done it by now, with NSL2’s opening next year. Is there still time, yes there is!
Why don’t you tell us why you think the new NSL2 will be a proper and atmospheric home end with what you know already via this thread, other threads, and the information released by the club so far?

If you had got behind it (1894) it would have helped ? No ?Oh wait we have a membership that we regularly survey but no let’s ignore that democracy and mandate and go off one person on Bluemoon who speaks for himself.
Got behind what ?If you had got behind it (1894) it would have helped ? No ?
A common-sense post. At the end of last season, two atmospheres stood out: Wolves and Bournemouth. On both instances, their fans took to social media to claim it was the best atmosphere they'd heard all season. There was a touch of jeopardy hanging over us last season, but the fans eventually stood up. The big games will always take care of themselves; both the United and Liverpool games this season were enjoyable occasions. We can always aim to improve, but some of the exaggeration on this site lately has been ludicrous.I've kinda abandoned hope for NSL2, if you build a 400 bed hotel you'll give the best seats behind the goal dead-centre to your hotel guests, splitting up any value-priced safe standing vocal locals.

But no lets procrastinate and lose the one chance we have...
Everything else is bollocks & excuses.
I rekon there's a lot more singers than we think.So once again you didn’t answer the question.
You know very well there aren’t 3000 singers to fill all of those 3000 safe standing seats.
There aren’t in SSL1.
There aren’t in blocks 111 and 110.
Tell us why you think there will be 3000 singers to fill 3000 safe standing seats in NSL2?
