Because genuinely only about 20/30% of the crowd know the words to the songs.Maybe a daft question but..how come the whole ground can seemingly stand up to do the Poznan in unison quickly by sight yet songs don’t spread at all well around the same areas of the ground ?
You'll find the away SS1 bit is full of us SS3 bods for cup games.....half of 315 were in there.Even the fans in the SSL1 away end were joining in with the chants. They normally sit down and don’t sing much.
It isn’t, it never was, and it never will be. Ever.Not in the 50's anymore are we and nobody can tell me it is alright to support city and united
Season ticket at the back of ES3: livelier funeral waiting rooms on some days. Down in Kippax corner last night, and it was bouncing. 6-0 against inferior opposition certainly helps, but the feeling you get singing, standing up, gripping the rail in front like you’re back on the Kippax with 20 rows of idiots pressing behind you, is absolutely great. Still takes forever at Half Time to get served, though.
Dad did in the 50s by the 70s hated the bastards as I always haveNot in the 50's anymore are we and nobody can tell me it is alright to support city and united
How can they if the acoustics are blocking the spread?, or is that only the case for some songs?Blue Moon does.
The best team in the land does.
Come in City does.
Hark now hear does.
Oh Kevin De Byuyne does.
But they hardly get sung.
Because those songs can be heard and are known. The ones with the clapping backgrounds, the concourse songs which have become 90% of the singing area’s outpouring, can’t really be heard and never spread. It’s not just acoustics. It’s crowd psychology.How can they if the acoustics are blocking the spread?, or is that only the case for some songs?
Bingo , as I have been trying to say for this entire thread. Acoustics are a convenient excuse however the more people believe it the less will be done to address the genuine issues. A single tier north stand will just be a bigger expanse of silence if people believe just its existence will solve the atmosphere issuesBecause those songs can be heard and are known.

Yes because the songs that Dave lists, plus others like ‘Hey Jude’ and ‘The Invisible Man’, have big long shouty lyrics where there’s no mistaking what’s being shouted as it’s loud and proud.How can they if the acoustics are blocking the spread?, or is that only the case for some songs?
