Bring the Noise

The annual report has got some interesting info in it re City's supporters:

  • 130,000 unique supporters attended home areas of the Etihad last season.
  • Of Premier League clubs, City fans are the most likely to bring children with them.
  • Match-going City fans have on average been going to games for 20.3 years (3rd highest in the Premier League).
The average length of time City fans have been going to games seems to contradict the number of new fans (our crowds have shot up over the years), but perhaps the explanation is that these new fans have always been fans, they just didn't go all the time. I do like the idea that City's fanbase is still one of the most loyal around despite all the changes at the club.

I might be wrong but regarding the South stand noise, I thought their attempts on Tuesday night were great. It was a non-stop effort. Thank you. I reckon for a different game, a lot more will join in.

Out of interest, who are #1 and 2 for longer average years attending?

A good 700 fans in the Singing Section chanted “what the fucking hell is that?” at the drum on Tuesday. It’s not just people away from SSL1 who don’t want a drum.

the same 'singing section' who most games sing nothing at all. all a lot of those fans want to do is throw v signs at the away fans. they think they are too cool to sing, poznan, wave flags, basically do anything support wise. the traditional atmosphere that you talk about, rarely exists now at city and something different has to be done. 2 games a season of great noise is shocking.

we all want the same thing on there, but i think the idea that we can regularly recreate noise levels of the past isnt going to happen. two big games this season already (chelsea and spurs) and both were really bad in my opinion.

bring your drum against united mate ;)

700??

That would be 1 and a 1/2 blocks. Sorry, but I didn’t hear that chant. I was in 116 throughout the game.

I heard a few remarks and shouts, and a couple of light hearted banter shouts, but that was it.

It’s obvious the drum isn’t liked, even though some people on here have asked us to use it again.

Unfortunately it’s hard to get a person who can drum properly, in time with the chants, and who doesn’t drum it to death.

I know its hard to move and we are in the habit of sitting / standing where we are. But if we don't try our best and move it wont work.

As it stands we sing from three areas mainly, kind of jack of all trades master of non, we struggle to make one decent group of singers out of the three.

If we can get 50% of kippax singers / 50% of SS3 singers and who ever else from the rest of the stands in 114 / 115 we will make a right din.

Due to ticket availability 114 / 115 is the only place we can group, also it is the best place for displays / flags.

Begging folk to try their best and consider a move, if we don't then this thread will reach 5,000 posts and still the same old chat in 3 years time.

Once we group and sing very loud from 115 it will travel and be a platform for those in SS3 and all over to join in. The odd game "bluemoon" belts out and echo's round the stadium, makes hairs on the back of your neck stand up. We could be like that every game.

Well done 1894. Keep up the good work. For the next CL game I’ll relocate from 111 to 115.

was very good banter when some people sang "wtf hell is that", all in good humour because the same fans where taking the megaphone quite well, the odd few looked disgruntled. Good come back from Jrb was "SS give us a song" fantasic.
