FAO The Blue Alliance

[davymcfc]

im a southstander. the corner does seem to be louder this season but i would still say the players appreciate that the only places that create any atmosphere are us and the singing section.

how are south standers arrogant ?? were just passonate and when the north stand is like a libary its frustrating thats the only reason people comaplain

111 is just full of young hooligan wana be's really who only sing about the away team and united

saying that though the ss has gone quieter and that coming from a south stander

The way they used to come on here thinking they were the greatist supporters ever lived and the way they slagged off the north stand when its full of 7year olds who are more interested in there halftime hotdog than the match. Personally I think the northstand is better than east level 3!

ok so one south stander slags off the north stand and the ss is arrogant ?

at times the south stand is really rocking and can create a really good atmosphere

everywhere in the stadium is poor for atmosphere except the ss and the corner

Immagine going home to the missus and telling her you had just become a part of 'The Blue Alliance', or telling some of your mates down the pub.

With my mates i'd get as far as 'Blue al....' then i'd be on the floor, dead, with them spitting beer at me. Said it before, nor offence the the B/A, the younger fan obviously will have different ideas to the older fan who spent years and years stood next to blokes in the Kippax, stinking of fag smoke and getting into heated banter about how shite we are! To me that is what going to the match used to be about. I used to get a buzz off standing slightly to the right of centre in the Kippax, away fans to our right, blokes giving it large and making noise without the need for flags and a 'named' group. Again, no offenc meant and good luck to you for doing/trying something different, however for me it is best left to the Italian/Spanish clubs and us English fans just going bonkers as and when. As I say though, i'm from the older lot in the Kippax so...

I've said it so many times.

If the South Stand and 111 were together the atmosphere overall would be much better.

Cheers again for your fantastic support.

OK, so lets say we didn't have a name as such. How would we be able to communicate with people on facebook, twitter, blog etc. unless we came under a name? I don't think calling it something like 'liamctid and his mates who go to watch City' would go down well.

And presumably you don't tell your mates and bird that you spend hours on a forum/online community? Sorry if we're the sad ones bluemoonmcfc.

the only way that would work is put the away fans were 112 111 110 is, an then move 112 111 110 fans next to southstand.
i dont want it to change but i wouldnt mind this, if it happened.

Stop being so defuckingffensive. I said, 'no offence meant', twice. You have answered your own question though, because back in the day there were not even mobile phones, let elone twitter and facebook! It was about meeting in the Sherwood, going to the ground and standing where you usually stoodm with blokes who stood where they usually stood too. Over the season you would geet to know each other and meet for a pint that way. That is why I said the younger fan will have different ideas than what the older fan is used too. I'm only 32 by the way, not some 50 yr old who has seen it all. I started going as an 11 year old and fell in love, immediately, with the harshness of the Kippax and I was devo'd when it went to all seater. When I went to COMS I was in tears, (effectively), at the lack of atmosphere, but hey ho, the game moves on and in your own way you are doing something about that, it just isn't my cup of tea... get it?

Oh, and I have the pleasure of working from home, so whether my mates and mrs know or not, I am on here to pass away the hours of boredom my job can bring.

That, or move the away fans to the half ofthe South stand which is currently City. That must be pretty easy as noone lose the quality of their set - you can just have the mirror image of it, if you know what I mean.

The South Stand's songs rarely spread round the ground because they are next to the least vocal part of the stadium.

I'm not going to argue with you. I cannot apologise enough for being 22 and therefore too young to see what the Kippax was like.

I'd rather you stopped posting on here about how you don't like what we're doing as its not the first time you've done it. No offense.

Fair enough, can't argue with that. All the best with it.

I don't know what all the fuss is about....from where I sit both stands look as fun as each other! You want to come and sit in the Grandad section (138) where me and the bloke a few rows behind have to change the words to "you saw me singing alone" as we are the only ones who ever start anything!! Its like watching a match in a morgue in the North Stand! I do think a merger of both the above discussed stands would be a mint idea!! Blue Alliance get in the North stand!!

lmfoa grandad section haha

Im a seasoncard holder in the North Stand and this season the noise comes from 110/111/112.

In past seasons it was shared out but the SS had the more vocal support and often got the whole ground going. However, now, the vocal support is most definitely the corner.

Its taken a few years for everyone to move near each other but it has happened and it is sorted. There's too many in the SS that just stand there with their arms crossed shouting abuse at anyone who misses a tackle.

110/111/112 is the place to be! Oh, and 236! :D

Totally agree, I sit in the Colin Bell 3rd tier and the corner is definitely the place to be for singers, that said it would be great if some people joined in with me on the 3rd tier (It happens occasionally) From what I can see the South stand literally just stand the whole game and aren't the ones who lift the team.

I fully support what the Blue Alliance are doing they've got the right attitude. I just think they need to get some 'blue' in their logo - in fact just scrap it and start again.

IMO it would be well worth paying someone to design a better logo and I would be happy to contribute. It's all about creating a better identity. I know it's not what it's all about but image and branding is important in todays image conscious society. Better branding would really help get things moving even more so than they are already.

Choose to ignore - it's just my opinion - I really want to see this work as it's a great idea.

 

[ibennett63]

Just watched your video posted by the club. The South Stand has died as a result of the singing section in the corner? Errr I don't think so!!!!

I know it`s not so.

what exactly is it you seem to 'think' you are 'doing'?

Liam, I think you're taking this too personally. We all know how much work you've put into this and that's why you're taking this to heart so much. You have to learn to take the critism on the chin. What you're doing isn't going to be everyones cup of tea and you have to accept that. By the same token others will think it's a great idea and back you all the way. Then you'll get some folk (mentioning no names!) who will help you out full throttle for a few weeks, realise there's nothing in it for them, get bored and sack it off. What you have to remember is you cannot please all of the people all of the time.

Besides which if this thing takes off in the way I suspect it might, you are playing your part in creating your own bit of club history, and the blue alliance may be spoken about in years to come In the same way people post on here reminiscing about the Guvnor's , banana's, the kippax etc

Perhaps this current period of the clubs history won't just be remembered for the takeover, and the superstar players but also for the bluemoon forum, the trawlermen, the creation of the blue alliance, and the final demise of united!

Keep the faith!
