Rather than argue the same points back and forth with people that skim through the thread and miss earlier posts I would suggest trying to open up some kind of dialogue with the club - without this, this idea will never get off the ground as it just cannot happen without their input.
As has already been mentioned, and taking on WNRH's ideas, I would approach them with the idea of making several hundred seats available for the Ajax game in the north stand available to fans that want to partake in this trial, from there you've got a clear and concise way of organising this.

Is it still this Hillsborough crap that kills the idea? Its been 23 years. Move the fuck on

It needs something, I have been in the South stands for 5-6 years come from Colin Bell lv2 to get involved however finding myself singing on my own or standing in silence. May as well be in silence with a decent view.
The club need to be on side and make this happen, next season dedicate a section as the ultra section clear people out of there seats, yes people will be upset and kick up a fuss at first but 2-3 years down the line when we have a fortress will be worth it.
New songs will have to be made to accomadate the drum, drumming to 'were not really here' or the 'Yaya' song will sound like a none league shed outfit or even worse Pompey.
Whereabouts in South stand are you bud?
And I agree %100 about these songs. chanting is funny and whatnot but in the stadium they don't drift around like a song does.
We do however have stuff like the Yaya/Kolo that does sound good if organised properly with everyone in a section doing it.

Gaz, Why bother though when TBA already has a framework and history of liaising with the club.
As much as I agree that a trial is better than nothing, I envisage the same problem that TBA encountered with the "operation one end" which ended up with daytrippers in there who didn't sing.
if a Trial was to occur - we'd need a guarantee that people would relocate to sing and we would all be grouped together, with no daytrippers/people with no intention to sing.
