I know you were only saying this as a hypothetical example, but 1880 has no relevance to Manchester City Football Club.There’s nothing stopping the formation of an 1880 Group for atmosphere in the North Stand.
There’s more evidence than for the rags claiming 1878 lol.I know you were only saying this as a hypothetical example, but 1880 has no relevance to Manchester City Football Club.
The St Mark’s>Gorton>Ardwick clubs were not forerunners to Manchester City, they just happened to have people involved in each of them who formed Manchester City. City were not a continuation of those others just with a name change, we were a new club founded from scratch… Ardwick even played two matches after City were formed.
And, even then, nobody has any evidence that St Mark’s were formed in 1880. 1880 is just the earliest evidence available of a St Mark’s game.
Newton Heath were founded by Scouser, Frederick Attock, in 1878 when the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company allowed its workers to form a club in their name. NHLYR were a forerunner club to United who just had a name change to United in 1902 because they were only getting 400 fans attending Bank Street for games and were about to go bust so Stafford and Davies put money into them to save them and thought the name change would drive more interest in the club.There’s more evidence than for the rags claiming 1878 lol.
That would make sense if either section actually made any noise, you are deluded if you think any away fans come away from the Etihad feeling intimidated.
IF the fans who want to be vocal don't take the opportunity to move to the new stand, we can kiss goodbye to an opportunity that will never be available again.
It never becomes more clear than in the cup games of what we could have.
We only have to look at Newcastle. Away fans in the top tier of one end. And at the other end they have their vocal Gallowgate end so they don't get drowned out.
We have that opportunity now. Stop the infighting or lose this opportunity forever.
"In awe"Of course SSL1 and the Kippax Corner make noise. Don’t be stupid. I really do give up sometimes on this thread. People really have convinced themselves that the singing sections don’t actually sing anymore, make noise, and create an atmosphere.
I’ve seen plenty of videos on Youtube filmed from the away end by away fans showing the singing, noise, and atmosphere coming from SSL1 and the Kippax Corner. I’ve posted some of the videos on this thread.
I also seen with my own eyes on plenty of occasions from Block 115 away fans stood in total silence, looking around. (in awe) at the support, noise and singing coming from SSL1 and the Kippax Corner. (as well as the other tiers overlooking the SSL1 away end for the big matches)

Yes. If people want to piss this opportunity away as a protest to the club, but continue to purchase tickets, it makes no sense to me.Are you going over there if "We" have this opportunity?
@M18CTID and @Tim of the Oak doneSpot on Tim. Absolutely nothing stopping it whatsoever. I’ve pointed out previously that 1894 was formed by one solitary person. Well, there’s half a dozen or so people on this thread who don’t feel 1894’s views regarding the North Stand align with their own so why don’t they form their own group? Or is it too much like hard work and they’d sooner criticise from the sidelines?
In fact, the only thing stopping them doing it is themselves.

There’s no infighting. The only “infighting” is restricted to a handful of posters on here.IF the fans who want to be vocal don't take the opportunity to move to the new stand, we can kiss goodbye to an opportunity that will never be available again.

Think you missed the point mate. We were saying if people wanted to set up a separate atmosphere group then there’s nothing stopping them. We didn’t mean a separate thread! That said, I hope the new thread gets traction@M18CTID and @Tim of the Oak done
