Atmopshere is then very difficult to get going outside the X amount of people around you where you can hear each other in 117-119 or 109-111. I've walked around to both of these areas during games and when you're part of them it seems really loud and at times bouncing. But then when I remove myself from them and sit in my seat in 105, them two areas just don't sound all that good.
There aren't all that many in my block who ever bother to sing. I'm sure that's about the same anywhere from 101-108. And very very few of these ever bother to actually start sings off (apart from a few blokes at the very back of 104). I mean, come on, we were The Kippax! Yet we've become a boring MainStand-esque library. I fucking hate how quiet it is.
I blame City for not providing bigger vocal areas. But I also blame all the boring bastards who sit in the East Stand, sometimes in total silence. Where has that spirit gone from the Kippax? There's no way that all those tens of thousands that used to stand on the Kippax have all gone missing. Our vocal areas only hold about 2800 tops, and obviously many fans will have dropped away over the years, but surely a lot of people who currently sit in the East Stand are old Kippax fans, so let's show ourselves a lot more at games.
As the current shambles of a set up inside our stadium stands, the only way we'll really get a good atmopshere in there is if 101-108 get off their arses and make some fucking noise for once.
Hopefully we'll get the away fans moved over to 117-119(and 217-219) and we can get a mass if City together in 109-116 that will create a proper noise. And one day maybe City will actually make my dream come true and knock down the East Stand and build a giant one-tier'd super stand that is has the safe standing terracing, giving us back a tradition we had for many decades. But if this doesn't happen then it is down to us in East Stand Level 1 to get involved with those in 109-111 and 117-119 and get some noise going!
What a silly thing to say!bluefromleve32 said:danburge82 said:117-119 do their bit, 109-111 do their bit... neither are great but remember that both are tiny areas and they are even split up by a big group of away fans who make more noise than both City areas.

is it your time of the month?
I can never see it happening, but it is my dream for our stadium to have a Die Südtribüne or The Kippax where the current East Stand is.alibee73 said:I doubt very much they would knock the east stand down but they could convert the whole of the bottom tier of the east stand into safe standing and the whole of the bottom tier of the south stand for the away fans (they always stand anyway and its still close to the away coaches).
