I’m not good at public speaking, but via the forum, I’d like to thank our 2 fantastic drone flyers, Colin and Stephen, for all the hard work, effort, time and dedication they have both put into filming the construction of the North stand this year. Happy Christmas and best wishes to the both of you from all of us on Blue Moon.

Strange that the bulk of the new seats are still under the covers. Isn't most of the work directly over them pretty much completed at this stage?

Thanks for your input. It has been noted.

With 1894 posting about members relocating to the new North Stand tier 2.

When meeting the club, would it not be a suggestion to ask them to change their ideas about Tier 1 in the North Stand and deliver what they advised in the planning document, which was a safe standing in Tier 1 right behind the goal?

As you may have seen in the recent victory against Real Madrid, the most vocal fans in Madrid are behind the goal

But most vocal should be at the rear of the stand ? #Acoustics

 

[pride in battle]

The South Stand fits that bill. They don't sing as much as they used to.

100 % loads in there don't fucking sing !!!

 

[pride in battle]

Yeah because people been priced out and replaced with day trippers, we need more of away day lot in 109-111 and 114-119

Dream on, the regulars dont sing

That makes sense but a distant noise at the back of the stand, by our most vocal/energetic fans moving there will also destroy the optics of the ground which is also worth consideration.

Whenever you see any City videos/fan celebrations we’re fortunate the cameras can pan to the south stand or the stand is the back drop to many important goals.

If our more passionate support move to the back of the stand, what will the optics, be like. Empty seats, cameras, half n half scarves, rows of school kids like we see in the front rows of other areas of the ground?

Bullshit mate, volume comes from the top tiers, fuck how it looks on t.v. ?

It’s not just about the tv though, it’s fan engagement with the players.

Think of the number of times a player like KDB has gone to take a corner to a rousing cheer of oh Kevin De Bruyne, would the players be similarly energised by a chant emanating from the back of the stand?

I’m not convinced. We might gain a bit, moving to the back of the stand, but the optics, player engagement we might lose. I went to the Milan derby last year, and ACs ultras sit, on a higher tier and it was incredibly distant from events on the pitch. Zero real engagement.

Here here. Thank you both for your invaluable posts on her. Much appreciated.

Not sure of your point there?

Only point im making is we might gain something but we might lost something also. Im in SSL3 and there is a cracking bunch of singers at the back of the stand, but I very much doubt the players are really aware of them or have any interaction in any discernible way
