As a society we have all but forgotten the magic of communal singing. It used to be a real thing. Everywhere. It does things to the brain. It makes you feel good and part of something. At a high level, the wonder choral singing is mindblowing. All a bit off topic but im a music geek and see the magic on a stadium of fans and pro singers.Come on blues, be honest, this is fabulous!

Yes, dreadful.Anyone else notice those vuvuzelas at the game yesterday. Fucking annoying. People got em in town today too. Hope the stadium don’t allow them in next season. Proper atmosphere killer. Remember South Africa World Cup?

Your Dad’s right, it was a tradition. The pianist would plonk out a succession of tunes and everyone would join in. Sounds pathetic now I know, but it brought people together, enjoying the moment. Sadly the pub culture is being decimated …people getting together, could be being seen as a threat?My Father told me, the local pub we drink in and play bowls for, back in the 70s when he first started drinking in there, used to have a piano in the Vault and fairly regularly the whole place singing along with each other and a random punter on the piano. Especially, the old WW2 vets.
In believe this was a common part of pub culture for decades that has simply disappeared.
This was a thing! Stupid old tunes, but people did it all together.

I don't think all is lost just yet Dave. I know it's not completely what we had in mind, but I really do think this can still be something that rejuvenated the atmosphereWhat an opportunity this is/was to rejuvenate the whole atmosphere. Noise bouncing off the roof and cascading down, twice as loud as anywhere else. All it would take is a bit of marketing but I don’t think they are even aware.
Yes I agree. It only needs a relatively small number of vocal fans to take season tickets in those safe standing areas and the rest will follow on. People will want to sit there if it makes noise like yesterday.I don't think all is lost just yet Dave.

I wonder if they'll look to re do the SS if the acoustics of the Pep really work. I think tiering kills atmosphere
True. Especially with that internal cable structure keeping the system up. But a big bank of voices singing as one is a better look and sound. I wonder how many points a season that is worth? How many points our potential atmosphere is potentially worth! You're not telling me the ref didn't get the message and let a few go after he got booed to fck yesterday after that ridiculous VAR display on the screens. A massive atmosphere could be worth 7 or 8 points a season.Thing is, I'm not sure if the engineering can be done, to tinker around, once a stand is completely in place. I wonder if it doesn't create structural weaknesses. There are people on here with an engineering background (it's been quite fun following what are to me the geeky conversations on the North Stand Construction thread — I've tried to follow them with my zero background in the field). They would know. Calling @jrb who, I have the impression, is an engineer by trade. There were others on that thread who were apparently in the construction trade, or knowledgeable about it.

The problem is your location in SSL0(1).SSL1, 111, 110, 109 superb, 1st half.
Can't hear NSL2 from SSL1.
Not having a dig, just being honest.
My dad was a pub pianist for many years, around Newton Heath, Failsworth, Hollinwood, Werneth (When it had pubs) and Oldham. He and the pub goers used to love it.Your Dad’s right, it was a tradition.
