Bring the Noise

The kippax corner was fantastic today, like a few years ago. Should be like that every game

Miles louder then the south stand and more people join in - in the the east stand.
 
The corner were mint today, need to do that more often.

Thr noise travels down the East Stand to us on the half way and more people join in than when SSL1 sing on their own
 
In the CB Stand by the half way line but sat as far up as possible !! My lad and me tried to get the singing going but to not much avail. Towards the end the kids around enjoyed singing KDB song .....

In fact when we started to sing we had about 50 people turn round and looked at us as if we were mad !!
 
I sit in ssl1 but when the kippax corner turn up like today its unrivalled and acts as a catalyst for both the SS and the rest of the east stand to join in and sing together rather than against each other in tiny pockets in a race to see who can finish a song first. Sadly noise doesn’t travel along the south stand well at all for whatever reason. Good noise today, hope it continues, no reason for it not to.

I agree it doesn’t travel well across the south stand. The main reason for that in my opinion is the Colin bell stand. They don’t join in with anything.

Whereas when the corner sings the whole east stand joins in. The corner section for years was the best area and helped other areas to sing. We just need the corner to be like that every week.
 
I moved seats for today's game for the first time in over 10 years. Moving from Kippax corner (Block 111) to the family stand to take my lad to his first game (Not a bad first game may I add;) ) Kippax corner was superb looking on from the family stand , not had the privilege to view it from a different area and easily trumped the South Stand
 
Good bit of banter between ss and corner today. "Where were you when we were shit???"
Ss replied "beating you when we were shit"
Watford fans looking puzzled.
 
Good atmosphere today an£ 3.00pm kickoffs always seem to generate more atmosphere. Considering relocating next season nearer the singing as where I sit I could swear people are asleep.

South Stand Level 1 is probably the absolute worst place in the whole ground to have the singing section.

It’s trapped between the away fans on one side, who either equal or outnumber SSL1; the Colin Bell on the other side, who don’t sing so the noise just stops there; and with it being a small tier the noise doesn’t travel back and up the South Stand to levels 2 and 3.

It’s like SSL1 is this little section that’s isolated from the rest of the ground.

Against Brighton SSL1 were really good in the second half. But because everyone feels detached from them, the rest of the ground don’t join in. Yet yesterday, when the Kippax Corner sung, it travelled along the East Stand really well and even people who usually just sit there all game were joining in with some songs.

It’s just a shame the Kippax Corner don’t do it more often. Around 2010 to 2012 that corner used to have an excellent atmosphere. I hope yesterday was the start of more to come from them!

Absolutely shocking today. Fair play to wolves.

It was awful today. No noise from any stand at all. Strange thing is we have just as many fans in level 1 south stand as they did. Yet you’d think wolves were at home.

The singing section / 115/6 has been a failure in my opinion.

The rest of the ground is a strange one. Many people don’t cheer, sing or even react to anything. I looked around and people don’t even stand up or clap the players coming off now. I don’t know how people could sit there so miserable

Tried to get behind the team as I always do in ES L1. It is like going to the theatre waiting to be entertained, and the tourists don’t get me started.

Mate I mentioned the tourists in another thread. I could not believe what I was seeing in the block I was in - when wolves scored the second. Groups of tourists openly celebrating, taking videos and loving the goal. These people aren’t city fans and lots of people were giving them grief. It was bizarre

Tourists? The crowd is largely season ticket holders plus away fans. We've just got used to City battering sides.

There was more tourists today then I’ve seen at a home game. I’m im east stand level one near the front and there wasn’t just the odd tourist. there was rows of tourists and people who clearly weren’t city fans, openly videoing and overjoyed when wolves scored.

I’ve never seen anything like it and lots of city fans were having a go at them
