Do we take too much stick at home games??

[UweGoater]

Its defo the way the stadium is built, the sound is projected out.

I sit in 117 and you cant hardly hear the away fans sing let alone work out what there saying, ive sat further around at on the side the odd time and u can hear the away support clearly! It used to be great in the old north stand, the banter was well better.

So if we cant hear them they wont hear us great hence the 'you still dont sing...' bollocks!

Stick the fuckers in the 3rd tier and we can have the full south and it would be great, prob take a season or 2 for everyone who wants to sing to there but it would be better.

Never happen though will it :(

I thought it was a pretty poor atmosphere too tbh. but it was not really a big club we were playing though.

im in 116 and find myself coming away from games
thinking the atmosphere was good but il get on here
and other people from around the ground will say it was shit,
when your in it, it's obviously a lot better when your sat half
way around the ground. it sounded alright on t.v when i watched
the game when i got home anyway.

imagine if all the lower east stand stood up. that would make some hell of a loud noise. the new kippax..

 

[deedee]

i would be in there, kippax boy since 84, centre steps, 26 down, 3 steps to the left, right in front of a pillar, under a leak in the roof,

How far from the front was that? You must have stood near me.

I think you'll find the majority of away supporters tend to sing you'll always find as away fans you make most the noise even when ya teams loosing you're always noisy bastards.
I've been to a fair share of away games (not as many as I've liked to but will be going more this season) and when we're loosing or just generally having a shit day fans are still full voiced and we've ended up drawing or winning, but if its vice versa (loosing at home) fans sit there rubbing their forehead asking "what the fuck has gone wrong"

I would sing but seeing as I sit in the 3rd tier I wouldn't want to shame the entire tier by doing such thing.
Even the poznan looks dog wank up where I sit but a small majority of us still do it.

Away games > Home games

It may happen yet and has been discussed, but i'm led to believe this would only happen when we have expanded the stadium.

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. 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!

Thanks, my Mum would love to hear you say that! I sit in East 2 and along with many others I sing so don't start slinging accusations as us.

307, 308, 309 all sing.

So if you, your Mam and many others sing then that means you aren't the "boring bastards who sit in the East Stand, sometimes in total silence" are you? You aren't the problem. It's the THOUSANDS who sit there like they're at the theatre that are the problem (and there's LOADS all over the East Stand!).

307, 308, 309 all sing.

I sat in 307 for the first three years at the CoMS and moved because it was shocking up there!

Last season when Poznań were up there I could hear them loud and clear above me from my seat in 105. I have never heard you guys when City fans are up there for every other game, never hear a thing.

And again, if you or your mates/family do sing, then you're not the ones I'm calling out are you?
