I could stand at the front of the stand and shout 'Give me an M' and the fans all shout back 'M', this would continue until I'd spelt out 'Manchester City', after that you all have to take 4 steps to the left, 3 steps to the right, jazz hands, quick twirl, 5 steps forward, 2 steps back, jazz hands, big smile, turn around and freeze.
Admittedly that sounds a bit gay but it's not as gay as drums, trumpets or calling yourself an 'Ultra'.
Fuck me, I must be getting old because in my day people sang or they didn't they didn't need to give themselves a little name to prove they sing and they didn't need to be told what to sing, when to sing it, how to sing it and in what fucking key.
If everyone on here who claims to want to sing actually did sing then there wouldn't be such a muted atmosphere at times. Put your money where your mouth is, you don't need a chufty badge or a **** with a loud speaker, you just need to do what you claim to do.
Fuck the away fans, fuck spurious claims of knowledge of modern stadium acoustics, fuck the fact some people can't/won't sing and never will, if you want to fucking sing, go to the fucking livelier parts of the fucking ground and fucking sing. The Blue Alliance are pretty open to new members from what I can gather, they like a sing, they make no secret of this, join them or at least fucking sit/stand with them and sing rather than attempt to copy some half arsed idea from fucking Celtic or fucking Dortmund or whoever.
The minute you plan an atmosphere it becomes contrived and shit, let shit unfold the way shit unfolds. All the lads I know (aged from 15-50ish) are happy to sing and be loud but they'd all want no part of an orchestrated 'at 29 mins we end 'Oh Balotelli' and segue into 'We're not really here', in Eminor' type of set up.
MCFC or Glee, you decide.
Peace, love, Unity and Having Fun
Are you no missing the point?
You say in your day people sang, so you recognising that now we don't sing. I agree contrived stuff would be shite, but only whoever is dictating it has got thewrong ideas. I would love to see an ultras group which everyone can contribute to. Maybe drums wouldn't work, fine we move on and try something else.
Can't understand people slagging off these ideas whilst admitting there is a problem. We need to listen to the ideas being put forward before criticising them instead of making assumptions.
