I know the difficulties you've had fella. The club are the ones who missed the trick when they opened the new upper tier. Anyway, things are taking care of themselves now and things are a lot better.

got it right, it messed all our plans up at 1894 when we did our first season in block 115 just as club released cheap tickets for SS3.. But fair play to the club, they back us up no end and fans wanted cheap tickets.

JRB is correct, displays dont sing but flags & banners get it going, it works hand in hand. Unfortunately these days visual is just as important as noise, to get recognised you need colour and madness !

There are many benefits of lower tier to upper tier for singers & displays, all have been mentioned in earlier posts.

I bet you agree and JRB to, it all boils down to the north stand expansion, this time its all about getting it right. Soon we will have meetings with the club about what creates better atmosphere / safe stand / banner hanging / cheaper tickets. Somewhere between that lot and a first class champagne bar we can meet !!

For now though we plead with fans, keep building the atmosphere, get involved with displays, help out, help to stamp out the very few fans that seem to abuse or complain on a match day. Hopefully in 2 or 3 seasons we have a new north stand, we all just move in there ready for it and be like our beloved team "best in the country", Singing is now spreading nicely right across all the safestand areas.

I tried Value Gold this year but way too quiet (although at amazing value) up in East. Il definitely try to move to SSL3 next season.

a few fans have come down from SS3 and other areas into 115, they have said the atmosphere is far crazier and louder, there are more fans together who are alike and the sfaestanding helps.

I think the rest of our supporters should be grateful we have people like yourselves putting money, time and effort into trying to improve the atmosphere.
Well done!

The noise within is louder but it doesn't travel as well as SS3 because of the roof structure which helps carry it. That's why the NS has to be seen as the place for singing fans. Get a huge tier going where it gets the benefit of the roof keeping noise in, you can have the banners etc across the lower blocks of it and safe standing and it ticks all the boxes.

But it's a lot longer to walk to from Mary D's! Much as I would like it to happen, City's singing/atmosphere has always been close to the away fans. Can't really see that changing even with the new stand.

Their four drums were louder than their chants.

Christ how fucking shit would it have sounded if we’d also had drums? They had four, how many would we need, six? Imagine ten drums drumming out two different sets of beats right next to each other for 90 minutes… the rest of the stadium would walk out.

It’d be like listening to the Foo Fighters and The Who on the same stage singing different songs through the same speakers.

I went to see the Pogues at Barrowlands in Glasgow a long time ago. That sounded like two bands singing different songs. One was most of the band with one song, the other was Shane McGowan, pissed out if his brain, singing something very different.

Any person who brings a musical instrument into a ground wants shooting. Same goes for those bloody cardboard clappers. And don't get me started on vuvu-bloody-zelas.
