Regrouping of singers within the stadium

[Bill]

A singing section... Something we slated them lot for doing... Now we're doing one ourselves. Comical

not even subtle.

Singing section is just a term the papers will use when doing an article its all they know.

Its actually a reconfiguration of singers that are already dotted about the stadium who have been split up after various moves.

Its nothing new. We've always had a singing area...it was called The Kippax and that didn't do bad did it.

It's just how it's labelled by the media.

It was good at the EDS game on Sunday, I thought the atmosphere in that little ground was great - to me it showed that you only need on little section of people to start songs and it will get everyone else going!

Excellent idea. I don't know why it has taken 13 years to put together but really hope that it finally happens. The atmosphere is embarrassing at times.

The Manchester Evening News have final picked up on the suggested idea by the 1894 group

Hope come the start of next season the new South Stand is full of partisan home noise and colour.

It's good of them to publish it because it really has gone out to a big audience now!

Last few days for people to submit interest, so hopefully this will spur on a few more people!

Rag!

But he does have a point. And before you accuse me of also being a rag, I am just saying that people have slated them. So why accuse him of being a rag because it happens to be his first post? Some people just read the posts and don't join us but then something spikes their interest and they do. That's how I came to be on here. I'd been reading the forums for quite a few months before I plucked up the courage to post. (de niro & Ric probably wish I'd stayed just reading!!) ;-)

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

Just curious how many people have registered an interest in this

Come on!

Why would that be your 1st post on Blue Moon?

Short and to the point. Bye!

If he comes back and is a blue, I'll apologise.

And let's put the record straight. We've had two official singing sections for years, long before the Rags thought up their own singing section up in the K-Stand quadrant.

This new singing section in blocks 114 and 115 will be our 3rd singing section, joining blocks 111/110/109, and the other South Stand lower blocks.

In essence, we will have all of the South Stand lower tier, bar one and a half blocks, and the corner of East Stand lower(3 blocks), while United only have the quadrant.

Look it his first post and he comes on to have a dig .let get the facts right we have had a singing section since we moved to the Etihad the 1894 lads are just trying to make it bigger

Hi m8 we said earlier in the thread wont be giving numbers out at this stage. We want to see what comes through from official supporters clubs too and then feed it back into club.

People shouldnt be influenced by how many pledged to move. They need to understand its now or never !!!

Healthy numbers though

Cheers mate. I'm sure you know that the atmosphere at most English grounds in the Premier League is poor, especially compared to the Bundesliga, and it's been gradually getting worse at City over recent years. Support at away games is much better for most clubs - it's home games where the main problem lies and while I can't see us getting up to the constant noise levels of the fans of German clubs anytime soon, I'm sure if this gets the go ahead it will be a big step in the right direction.

Been looking through old videos on YouTube and feel sadder than ever about our atmosphere.

When was the last time we sang like this before kickoff? Look at how full it is before kickoff...! This is what makes/made going to the football great for me, being part of supporting the team! If I'm going to keep splashing out £700+ I hope it can be more like this (ignore the captions, lol).

I really hope the club approves this... AND the idea works (ie. boredom doesn't set in after 2 weeks and it doesn't turn into the current singing sections)! Persistent singing is also possible if you use the catchy tunes like Blues Go Marching In for ages. The aim should never be to hear "You only sing when you're winning" again. :-)

Something which occurred to me last night:

Does anyone from 1894 (or wherever) know if the club are making any consideration for sound reflection/acoustics in the roofing of the new stand? I would hope they are because I believe there is a significant difference in different materials.

I have a hope that the new angle of the roof might impact that: one of the reasons that the two singing areas can't hear each other is the way the existing roof reflects the sound. The way the roof slopes downwards might lend itself to singing bouncing down from the back of the stand.

someone start a topic for city to get the inflatable bananas out for the home barca leg and lets create that hamburg atmosphere

yes mate we did mail the suggestion. At a meeting 4 years ago some of us (then blue alliance) asked danny wilson if we could put metal plates under roof of stand to amplify noise and keep it in. Was told council own the ground and nothing could be done.

we did send a reminder of this recently. Asked for amplification of level 1 ss and in the City bit and also in the other bit 110 111 and 211 as they are isolated but also can be noisy and the idea is that 115 can hear them and vice versa.

No response so far

It must be worth pushing for that
