Ah kk.
Would be good but cant see it happening for a while!!!
What is being done to get it going?
Petition coming up to 1000 names, plus a couple of contacts with Vicky Kloss at the club who seems helpful and trying to help get the ball rolling.mossley_blue said:Halfpenny said:Getting a whole side for people who want to sing, and shifting the aways to the current singing section.

This is what happens at City.
That stupid PA shuts up and the game kicks off.
The South Stand start a rendition of "We are not really here". 111 start a rendition of "Bluemoon" at exactly the same time. the rest of the ground sit in silence.
the away fans start up a song. The south stand start up a chorus of "If you hate Man United". 111 can't hear them because of the away fans so start off something else. The South Stand's song doesn't get going beyond those 2 blocks because the Colin Bell stand never sings.
Eventually, after 5 minutes of this, the rest of the ground feel isolated from the signing and sit in silence, the two singing areas start to get annoyed that their songs are not catching on.
An important point to note is that when songs do get sung right round the ground, in my opinion they tend to start off at the other end - the North Stand! This is because it is one of the few occasions when both these two sectins hear the song and sing together.
With one voice, people like me who sit up the side but would get behind the team with a song if it spread, would sing much more. As it is, I'm not joining in with a muddy noise from two ends.
Best post of the thread Sums it up totally.
For the club to ignore its '12th man ' potential, with such a big tournout every week seems ludicrous to me.
Every major club has it's core support area:
The current arrangements at COMS make this impossible and the club owe us at least an explanation as to why such inappropriate arrangements are considered to be a) acceptable and
b) are in anyway going to help generate a real 'Fortress Eastlands' atmosphere that away teams need to tackle as well as the home team.

both sum up the problem perfectly. cannot understand why the club are dragging their heels over this one. i've had a response from Vicky Kloss but not one that inspires much confidence. Just your usual 'thanks for your concerns' rubbish.
very frustrating.

just signed now, it would be immense if this happened, the club really need to do something for the fans interms of letting us sing without fear of being thrown out over the next 2 seasons or its going to rapidly die

We need to keep pushing this, I don't want to hear that its been pushed under the carpet, maybe a song could catch on in relation to this to show the management that this is not going away! Suggestions on a post card please.
