Atmosphere - 2023/24

In general these modern bowl style stadiums are very poor for atmosphere retention they often all seems dead echoey and a jumble of noise as it takes a long time for songs to travel around the huge bowls. Whereas the older stadiums are more compact and seem to trap the sound in better.

However, the design of SSL3 has squared off that end instead of it being a bowl, and the rest of the ground in the other three stands can hear SSL3 loud and clear because of that roof.

It’s a great design in terms of atmosphere (whether that was by design or by coïncidence, I don’t know) and I hope we get it right up the other end and group everyone together from the separate areas that sing and individuals that sing in quiet areas, all in the new NSL2, and the sound bounces out as one voice over there.

The new North Stand does also look like it’s going to box off that end and with the shape of the roof and the steeper walls at either side of NSL2, it should project the atmosphere really well.

Can’t wait to move there!

I honestly think if we get all our singers together in NSL2, we’ll have the best atmosphere in the league.
Both ends...magnificent
 
SSL3 is the cannon.

Light it up and fire it off and the whole ground will follow !!
Funny you say this...

1894 have organised a singing section for SSL3 against Fulham (there's a separate thread for it).

I don't mind it.

The club will want to play it over the PA system, and we don't sing in time with the original song. This means post-match they can play it at a speed we sing along to without offending any snowflakes.
 
It seems like everyone is copying our chants now.
Interesting one is that a lot of fans claim Hey Jude as their own..Brentford, QPR, Newcastle etc. I thought we started it post league win in '68 when Beatles were Number one with this...surely not many if any club beat us to that?

Just what I was told many moons ago, part of City being Champs in 68 and then 'Lily the Pink' later that year for King Colin (pity they're both scouse related songs.....)
