Regrouping of singers within the stadium

Taking account of all factors & accepting that there isn't a perfect solution this is the best alternative by a mile.

If the East & Colin Bell corners join us to fill SS1,2 &3 we will have an END for the first time at the stadium. The splitting up of away fans over 3 narrow strips will also be a big help whilst keeping them proximate for the 'banter'

This is a one off opportunity that should be grabbed by as many as possible. If it gets off to a good start there will be a positive domino effect that will benefit everyone: Better Atmosphere
: Better Matchday Experience.
: Reduced Impact of Away Fans.
: Positive sense of identity in side the stadium.

Imagine all this coming together with CITY as CHAMPIONS for the third time in four years....fcukin 'ell we will be a hell of a force to be reckoned with. Get it on !!

Quick points

Away fans get up to 3k split over 3 thin blocks in 3 tiers. They retain ss corner as old bill want them to still use that car park. No other option on the table. Its 80% of a home end better than the 50% we have now.

Cup games. Capacity next yr 54k. Technically 8100 for aways if they were taken up. If the team only asks for 3k they get the normal allocation just as a league game. So no one moves.

If we get rags in the cup and they take 8000 theyll fill.the from.top downwards to.keep singers together as much as possible. So ss 3 holds 6500.you are then talking 1600 more in ss level.2 which will.be the usual block for aways on l2 plus perhaps a few more in the block.next to it ie whole of 214

Either way avoids the sheff wed situation last week where all of ss had to relocate all over the place. It keeps us all together in that end

Mate, well pleased you are pushing this. Can someone set up a simple website which explains the whole thing? You need a visual reference point to point people towards to explain it clearly. I know it isn't complicated but everybody needs to understand what can be achieved here.

The club did a survey on a similar subject about 3-4 years ago and the majority in the singing areas voted to maintain the status quo. Everyone needs to be totally clear on this to make it work. The best thing that could happen is if most of the people in 110-111 get onto it and as someone said, the new seats in the second tier become more vocal too.

Well done ric for making this a sticky. Even those of us in the quiet seats need to get behind this. It needs momentum and that is more than just a thread on here. City need to push it once they agree It can work.
 
For those thinking of moving, if you don't want to end up stood all game, I'd suggest staying where you are, as this area will most likely end up with persistent standing like at away games.

As a start, if the areas involved could bring together most of the away regulars, it would be a big improvement on what we have right now, as we often generate as much noise from 2,500 away from home, as we do with 45,000 at home.

I really hope the club can sort this out, its a great opportunity, and the best place for the noisiest fans is next to the away section imho.
 
Definitely needs doing, I wouldn't move from family stand as yet but once lad is older I'd be looking to head over.
 
In the email, you mentioned flags and banners. By that, do you mean full game? Or as we have them now?

I can't move as of yet, but would definitely be interested in cup games down in the new block. As Didsbury Dave has said, really push it everywhere. Every platform of social media, maybe even flyers in the current singing sections. You could even ask the club to get the "entertainment" team to mention it, or have a notice on the big screens?
 
Flags, banners, standing and singing all game....lets av it!

I've registered interest through the OSC and so I won't do so on here too! I hope that people don't duplicate their interest as it will make a mockery of estimating interest.

I really hope this catches on.

Anyone on Social Media must help publicise this.

I have already told those around me in 116 that I intend to move, before this initiative was announced. I'm stood next to the away fans for a reason. I don't intend to stop now!
 
Totally up for this

It VITAL that we get this going

How do we register our interest (sorry if I stupidly missed a key post earlier in the thread) ?
