While we are on the subject, will TBA have a membership thingy? Like emails with updates regarding coaches, tickets etc?

I stand in the south stand myself, block 117, and have done for a several years and this was on the day after my christmas do so I was not feeling my best :)
I feel that since the singing section has been in place, think its new this year? Been there for 2 or 3 years the south stand no longer sing as frequently or as loudly as they once did, Some of the fans who sing all game in my opinion must have migrated to the singing section.
It is also my opinion that the whilst the singing section sing more often (particularly when were drawing or loosing) but that the south stand, when it gets going, is still loudest. I'm not slagging fans in either section just wanting to improve things.
That was the purpose behind the comments, the comments were mine personally not necessarily those of The Blue Alliance, we didn't plan any answers or have the questions before they were asked, I just said what I thought. Feel free to disagree.

i dont like saying it but the atmosphere in most parts of our ground is poor, nobody sings!. at all the home cup games since weve been at coms i have had to be relocated to elsewhere in the ground, me and my mates used try and sit in a part of the ground we aint been before (3rd, 2nd tiers, corners etc).! i went to the arsenal game in the last round and was 'sat' in the center of the 3rd tier in the colin bell stand, think about the game itself. one of the most important in our recent history, first time into semis in a long time (im 27 and have never been to one). we were playing really good football, easily through to next round, so i started singing the songs i could hear from the southstand corners. and the reaction i got from surronding supporters was mad. it was if i was chanting footy songs at a funeral. it didnt change throughout the game at all. when we were at maine road our atmosphere was unbelievable in most parts of the ground. but sadly its not the same at coms. i dont know why that is, because after a few years i thought it would be ok again after everyone settled into the ground. just imagine how quiet our ground would be if it wasnt for the one block on each end of the away fans in the south stand. a horrible thought...
The myth of the Maine Road Noise Caudron lives on.
Nothing's really changed, just the ground is bigger.

if theres spare padded seats in the exec on the second tier we normally shufty across at half time and sit in them. its ridiculous really, you see city fans on their 'day out' sitting in total silence as they think its an unwritten rule and what 'posh' people do when they watch football. in reality you know that if they were dressed down on an awayer theyd be shouting and screaming with the best of them.
have a right laugh in there getting a few chants going as to be honest i couldnt give a toss what other people think, plus it aint my s/t seat ;) burnley a few weeks back stands out. had an old city director in front of us (cant remember his name). he thought it was hilarious and was pissing himself.
sing it loud, sing it proud. CTID.

Here's something I bet you didn't know about her - she is a City fan from Bolton and she had a signed picture of Joey Barton next to her bed! Couldn't think of anything better to wake up to!
