I was one of the 5 guys who with a lot of hard work set up the 115 singing section, it got messed up because at the time we allocated around 500 good singers in a block holding 700, the club issued cheap tickets in SS level 3 so half of the 500 went up there.
Before 115 was set up I was in 116, odd games where good rest horrendous. Fans in the old 116 and kippax corner where dwindling and losing interest in singing. Since 115 has been set up the atmosphere has improved every year. Before people in various areas of the stadium claim it hasn't, believe me it has. A post earlier sums it up ( from manchester33 ) noise does not spread very well. We cant hear SS level 3 apart from rare occasions, we can see kippax clapping hands and a mild echo of singing. Likewise those in level 3 and kippax don't hear us very well. The logistics of how we are spread out and where we are is not helping at all.
I disagree with most of the posts on here as the three first home games in PL where very good, Wolves being shite because a lot of fans sing when we are wining. Believe me if you stood in 114 / 115 / 116 near the back the noise has been good up until wolves game. OK not the level I want but we are getting there.
We all keep suggesting where we should move to, having had 3 or 4 meetings every season with the club for the last 6 years here are the facts. Due to season tickets already taken up there is nowhere to move to. We can not all migrate to east stand near kippax or move away fans ( by police order ) or all move to SS3. We are where we are until we get "some sort" of option if we extend north stand.
Rather than this section sings best and we cant hear you, for now we have to make the noise from where we are. I say the same every game and can only speak from where I stand at back of 115, most of the game a good 150 / 200 of us sing. But when aguero scores we get around 2,000 fans from behind the goal sing "Sergio Sergio". So what happens to these 2,000 singers when only 150 or so sing, they don't turn in to tourists ? We will never get the whole stadium to sing, not many stadiums do this at all, it is a focussed area that makes the noise.
In cup games we organise grouped tickets, we could get around 250 but it has to be SS lower as this is the only place where tickets are available, but only around 60 fans come forward. So if fans want to do anything about the noise, click on the link and join in rather than say its quiet.
