I think many will be surprised to see what a drum could do.

All they need to do is turn Sky Sports 1 on and they wouldn't be surprised. Songs move at a natural pace instead of 4 segments singing it at different speeds, and the noise is constant.

we have gone the way of Manchester united in more ways than one.

 

[Targetblue]

The majority of our support now are Mr and Mrs Average with their two kids. And while this is not a bad thing I hardly think that they will be contributing to the atmosphere.
I'm afraid that this is just a sign of the times and given time all football grounds will become more like the US stadiums with no soul.
















Corn dog anyone? ;)

The build of the stadium doesn't help too much either, Cardiff City's ground may be pretty boring to look at but the way it's built amplifies the noise. At the Etihad it travels 20 feet and then drifts into the air never to be heard, it was never designed to be a football stadium and it really shows.

Errrrr, it was actually designed as a football stadium, hence the reason for the temporary stand at the CG's................

Obviously I understand that it has been, what's the best term: "retrofitted" for use by City but it was never designed specifically with City in mind and as such wasn't acoustically tuned to what a Football Stadium should be. Seeing as we are using European examples anyone ever been to the San Siro in Milan? Even when the whole place isn't bouncing it can still be loud simply because of how enclosed it is.

I have a solution that will solve your problems....ULTRAS!;-)

worked for palace

Palace fans making a right noise tonight. Singing non-stop.

Only a few 100 in the bottom corner, but getting the stand/ground singing.

Fortunately I earn a decent wage.

The bread and butter city fans have been priced out

The same with the tarquins manure

 

[morleyswife]

Turn up on the day, standing a factor also

Sorry for dodgy posts a bit pissed

 

[InMyLifetime-BaconChops]

Fuck it.

Where can I buy a drum? Do I need permission to use it in the stadium?

Presumably the expansion will help in that respect, in making everything a bit more enclosed. But Old Trafford is a dedicated football ground and that's still like a church most Sundays, so it's down to more than stadium design.

Whether the prawn sandwich brigade like it or not, the only way to get the atmosphere going is to get safe standing introduced to a dedicated singing section, then have a capo and a drummer motivating the fans to sing and jump up and down etc for 90 mins.

You sir are correct.

Oh yeah, I'm not saying having us in a tiny box would solve all our problems but I think it's a factor. Also from what I've seen the stadium redesign looks like it'll be even MORE open so not to sure about that.

 

[TGR]

Fuck it.

Hopefully they will refuse you permission to bang such a dreadful instrument in the stadium.
Hopefully I don't sit anywhere near you in the stadium.
Could I respectfully advise you buy youself a nice tambourine?

It'd be taken off you in seconds, gotta keep those families happy.

 

[City_Sean]

The family stand/colin bell need to up the noise levels, the singing sections cant do it all.

We were the key stakeholders in a stadium design whose primary use was as a football stadium. It was also supposed to have unique acoustic properties which would contain and amplify crowd noise. I didn't claim that we got it right but ours was designed for football, not athletics. Please don't buy into the myth that it wasn't ;.)

They don't really do anything neither. For "vocal"'sections the Singing Section and South stand are desperately poor.

Hopefully they refuse you entry to the stadium.

the singing sections dont do much , some games it can be noisier in the family stand.
