We can’t join in with something we can’t hear.Yep, I am in 115, about two-thirds the way up and was joining in all the time, thought the atmosphere in our block wasn't bad yesterday, but if nobody else around the ground joins in, maybe it could come across as being fairly muted, which obviously isn't the case.
We can’t join in with something we can’t hear.
Unless you wanted us to join in with “you fat fucking bastard, get out if our club” or “the Bladen Races”.
Newcastle fans were good yesterday. There was barely a ten second gap between their songs in the second half.
When that’s happening there’s absolutely no point in our Singing Section.
Bet 95% of people who read this thread can't be arsed to sing at home matches.
I sit upper tier SS and out of 100 to either side of me and the 100 in front and behind me I don't think anyone sings, which is pitiful for the cheapest seats in the ground.
If you want it bad enough, do something about it.

I sit in CB3 & its like a library up there most of the time. If anyone starts singing they get given a "Paddington hard stare".
All I can hear all match is the bloke behind who whinges constantly about Sterling, and when he got subbed off he started on Otamendi!
Top post mate, totally agree with every word.I bet half of the moaning fuckers don't even go to the match, it is all about how we look and sound on telly!
I was there Saturday and thought it was a great atmosphere and we played well. The young lad Zinchenko had a great game. Yes he was caught out on the goal but so was everyone else. I come home and all I read is so called blues slagging him off and the usual boring shit about the lack of singing/atmosphere yet again. I sometimes wonder if we are mid table or fighting relegation, dodging dog turds near the kippax and getting piss wet through in the Gene Kelly stand, watching crap football, rather than 12 points clear at the top!
Well said sir. The negativity on here is far worse than anything at the gamesI bet half of the moaning fuckers don't even go to the match, it is all about how we look and sound on telly!

I'm in 121 this season.. it's a bit dead but then again the whole stadium seems to be these days. Anyone near me see that foreign dude trying to get some weird chant going last night? I think he was singing "We are top of the league" but it had no obvious tune to it.. and most the fans around him were just looking bemused. Of course the stewards stepped in eventually and told him to calm it down.
Yes mate. I think the Russian guy was on the right lines even if he wasn’t in tune.
Yep true, I felt a little sorry for him.. he looked a little deflated at the fact nobody was joining in. I commented to the fans around me "Doesn't he know we don't sing in this stadium?" I don't really know what happened to the atmosphere in the stadium, I know it was a lot better when we were going for the league under Bob - and that was with less fans in the ground. I think we've fucked up with this offering fans the incentive to move to the 3rd tier of the South Stand by making it cheaper. I was in block 116 for years and for me that was the only bit that sang properly.. now even that section appears quiet. Too many fans moved up to the third tier.. so it broke up the effective 'singing section'.
You know what the real issue is ?Yes mate. I think some who sang moved for cheaper tickets in the 3rd tier. Another issue is that some people with plenty of cash bout Tickets in SS3 and pitch up for the occasional game. It’s no big deal to them to pitch up for half a dozen games at an average price of £50
That said, it doesn’t explain why more Blues don’t join in with the singing. I think a lot of people have lost their passion over the decades but are still loyal to come to the games.
You know what the real issue is ?
People are too engaged in watching the fantastic football we are playing, when we were shite we had nothing better to do.
That said, I don't remember the atmosphere being that fantastic under Pearce, nor under Alan Ball/Frank Clarke, or even the early part of Joe Royle.
