Atmosphere today/moving seats

[Kaini Industries]

Was very good today. Infinitely better than the same fixture would have been last season.

Taken long enough but the ground is starting to feel like home.

The sound was great again, wish there was more singing around me, only those of us who have moved sang.

Guy phoned GMR after the match to say that the Atmosphere was dire where he was sat compared to chelsea because the stewards were 'oppressive' and making people sit.

if everyone stand the stewards can't do anything. why can't people sing sat down anyway ?

Thought the atmosphere was very good today .
But that's got a lot to what we are seeing on the pitch this season .
It will be interesting to see what the attendances will be like at mid week cup games .

I'm in tier 3. Like most happy to stand up every now and again but lots of young kids around who can't see when everyone stood up. Can't see why people want to stand up for 90 mins and don't agree you need to stand up to sing.

this is why we need safe standing ,there is huge demand for standing within our fan base. tbh with you i want more of the ground to stand up and sing but that just my preference

 

[Cheesy]

The stand expansion has improves things considerably imo. Keeps the noise created more confined.

 

[LoveCity]

Thankfully stewards are leaving us alone down below and the only thing the seats are being used for are drums. :p

don't agree you need to stand up to sing.

Technically no, but why does most sound in stadiums come from areas where people are stood? Because they are on their feet and more active. When the South Stand level 1 was stood and clapping in unison today it was brilliant.

Poor in 315 today, saw Stewards giving grief to the bit of 315 near the aways and 109.

Leave us the fuck alone...top of the league and want to be lively.

Impressive atmosphere down in south stand level 1. This was always going to be one of the quieter games but there was still persistent if not constant singing throughout and most joined in. Watford brought more fans than i was expecting but they were very quiet. With the frustrating 1st half, last season it would of been almost silent for long periods, there was none of that today. Huge improvement.

As for standing in level 3, did anybody really think they'd let you stand all the time? You'll be able to do it against the bigger sides close to the away fans but expect to sit for most games. I went up there for the open training, it's rather steep and the seats aren't tall enough to stop anybody from falling a few rows, they'll enforce seating rather strictly up there i suspect.

i was on level 3 and was stood upfor about half the game and no one said a word

 

[malg]

Really, really don't get this 'you can sit down and sing' thing.

 

[franksinatra]

To be honest why does anyone expect to be allowed to persistently stand in the third tier?

Everyone knows where standing is permitted. Why do those moving into level 3 expect to enforce their preference on others who have rightly bought a seat to sit in and enjoy the game.

 

[alberto0292]

Shame to hear about the problems with stewards.. but yeah, i am surprised that fans in level 3 expect to be allowed to stand

This below is what the club wrote about "singing section"... it's a way for them to say standing is gonna be tolerated in those blocks without mentioning the word standing

Any bother from stewards in 110 and 120?

Singing Section

As part of the stadium expansion works, we have reconfigured the visiting supporter seating section. This allows us to offer even more seats within the Singing Section, which is located in block 111, blocks 115-119 and part of block 114 in South Stand Level 1. Supporters that sit outside of these blocks are not part of the designated singing section.

Stewards were dicks writing down people's seats who were stood up. They had nothing better to do as the lack of away fans in t3. Chelsea game they ask us to sit politely and left us alone. The guy today said '
"Your all on camera and we are reporting the offenders"

So at the first game they took a softly softly approach and politely asked you to sit down and comply with the stadiums safety regulations.

Second game when you again did not comply with the safety regulations they tool your seat numbers. They really are unreasonable.

i think with a full away support you should be fine to stand up. dont see a problem with it. the type of fans that are in level three want to stand and sing. keep singing !

 

[kas_tippler]

Moved from east stand lower to the 3rd tier, first match today due to holidays and I thought it was miles better. No one moaning about singing and occasionally standing up,felt like a new start for everyone up there.

I have a season card in south stand level three, the atmosphere today made me have shivers, big thanks to City by making this affordable to me I'm sure there are many like me, Thanks.
