Regrouping of singers within the stadium

[Matt The Blue]

Watching the Palace v Spurs game and I've had to turn the sound off... That fucking drum is doing my head in, so please sing all you want, but for Christ sake, NO DRUMS ... Thanks.

Drums is a great way of creating atmosphere.

But that's how the European crowds create atmosphere, with drums and someone leading the crowd with what song to sing

Fair play to you for trying but having witnessed the Everton match with both ends full and the holte end earlier this season ,I think atmosphere at football games is dying on its arse everywhere .not just at city

I know it's been mentioned already but this really is the best opportunity we're realistically going to get to improve the atmosphere. I'm in 111 at the moment and 110/111 are arguably the best blocks in the ground for atmosphere. However, while there are some top lads in there not everyone sings and on bad days it's only a hardcore of 50 or so that are belting out the songs and chants.

This proposal could see a full block/block and a half of pure singers all in one place. The potential of 700 or more singers going at it for the full 90 minutes regardless of how important the match is rather than as little as a few dozen or so carrying the burden on occasions is an exciting one and it should lead to the songs/chants spreading round the stadium better. If this goes ahead it will give us an opportunity that many other Premier League clubs won't get, save for the odd cup game. United trialled a singing section for their home game against Sociedad last season and by all accounts it was a success but they're limited as to what they can do for league games unless they moved the away fans section. With the whole of Block 115 and half of 114 being vacated for home fans next season we really need to seize the moment because we might never get a better opportunity.

Well said mate.

I don't mean to be rude to other posters, but there are numerous other threads regarding the atmosphere generally. We should really keep this one on topic, because that is the key issue here.

I fear that this opportunity is going to be missed if it's not sufficiently well publicised.

We will not get a chance like this again.

Anyone on here who complains about the atmosphere at home games should either seize the chance to move to 114/115 where they can make a difference, or at the very least do their bit to publicise this opportunity.

If you're apathetic now then you can't really grumble 12 months down the line that the atmosphere at home is shit.

just wanted to say how grateful those of us who aren't regulars are to the 1894 group (& allies). When I get to a match, I defn want there to be an atmosphere - so don't assume all of us part timers who pick up scraps from mates and the ticket exchange are the same as those who seem to want to take selfies all the time.
I can't volunteer to move to my non-existant season ticket to the singing block. But I'll continue to make the odd donation to the group in support of what they're doing and in the hope that its successful

+1. Exactly same situation here

I also agree that giving out flyers in the pubs/at the stadium would be useful to help spread the word. Maybe especially in the pubs as there's bound to be fans who sit in different areas in the stadium

Hope all this will now to better atmos, keep up the good work!

Me too.
I thoroughly support this but have no 'official' way of registering it. The flyers is a great idea but without any official link to the club would they have any impact?
I'm presuming the club would firstly ask all those who sit in the seats affected by any move what they think. After that they could ask everyone actually in the stadium (regardless of member status) then us part timers could have an influence.

Flyers were handed out at goodison apparently. More to come on Sunday. Well done 1894

thats brilliant. most city fans dont use blue moon or know about 1894 so this will definitly help.

Seen quite a few of them that don't appear to watch the game and stand with their back to the game
conducting the crowd
Bit odd really
