Take a look in our own stadium. Aris and Lech both showed what could be done.

Lech vid:

those videos prove exactly the point. we dont have to go against the rules, but just be creative within the rules. somebody else said that it was not only about ideas, but more importantly about executing them.
It was me who said that earlier, and to be honest that is the biggest issue.

How about a band too? England have one. We have one too because they play in City Square before home games now?
That band was actually brought in to play inside the stadium (family stand) and at City square.

In reality its other fans he needs support from, the club can only do so much. As i said in all my previous posts in this thread its upto the fans to make this happen.

agreed, but also we just need to get something started for every body else to follow i guess.... similarly to the chants. since we are talking about something new to which people are not used, its not going to happen spontaneously but it would require some organization. so, if NorthernBoy is already working on the banners, am sure they are many other fans who are thinking about the same thing, and this can be discussed with the club. i have just looked at the mcfc website but could not see anybody who is responsible of relations with fans...they should have somebody to talk to about things like this.

i did, thanks. it looks like cityforlife has been working on something with the club, and hopefully it will get to some critical mass that changes the whole experience at city games.

Please no drums. Experienced this with Blackburn and Portsmouth and aside from it being annoying it just comes across as false, like they are forcing an atmosphere. A genuine atmosphere should be more spontaneous.
The Poznan is perfect example of something spontaneous that creates instant atmosphere and encourages further mass involvement.
It is universally acknowledged that standing creates better atmosphere so I would suggest more songs that require us to stand up. Not knocking Poznan, in fact I think it is best thing we have achieved since inflatable bananas, but if the next activity could be done facing the pitch we are more likely to keep it going for longer. Repeated chants that require small movement such as bouncing or swaying done by all will be far more effective than ticker tape or flares.

I agree with most of what you say although why people think it has to be one thing or another is beyond me. Theres no reason we cant sing, Poznan, inflatables, bounce around, ticker tape, flags, etc, etc.

Agreed, We do need a new Poznan, something adapted to face the pitch maybe?
Would encourage more spontaneous rather than just doing it after a goal now... The Lech fans would do it whenever.
We need somebody to use a tannoy, be allowed to stand near to stewards and get chants/claps going etc... like Lech did when they came here.

From personal experience I can tell you that the club aren't overly arsed. I've had numerous meetings, written a document, produced a presentation and nothing ever happened.
As someone has previously said, health and safety - also, not blocking any current sponsorships/views.
