Singing section

I thought the inflatables were excellent. Loved it when one went over into the Sunderland fans and the popped it and threw it back. One of the bananas made it round to the CB lower and was making it's way to the Family Stand!

the bananas are great !! would love the 1894 group do get everyone in the south stand to have one for a game

Very true that my sweet little Eccles Cake. Now if everyone sat around you could exhibit the same sense of passion as you - I suspect the CB roof might come off!

FFS.... anything else to moan about?

I've taken inflatables to city matches for many years, it's just a silly thing which gets people around me in to a better mood.
I've been at a match and everyone has been glum faced and I've launched a inflatable into the crowd and everyones started knocking it about resulting in chanting/smiles....

They're horrendous mate. It's just kids being twats throwing them around. Just distracts from the game, and doesn't help the atmosphere at all.

Just a minor bug bear for me. For the Fernandinho song please can we sing it slower, it defeats the whole point of the actual song.

I know Bayern aren't the most liked round these parts, and why should they. But their 'ultras' have nailed it, in regards to this tune. Even Watford have a good version going on, sung at the correct pace too.

Look at this video from 5:20 to see how it should be sung. We don't even have to sing the Fernandinho lyrics to it - simply "Manchester.... City" would work well.

If you're sat in the family stand or Colin bell where noise is frowned upon then maybe it doesn't appear to be very loud from over there but 114/115 was good today,

Started off incredibly against Chelsea then died down a bit when the smaller teams came and brought less fans or we wasn't performing. However, It's picking up again and there's an increasingly larger group that sing more and more every game regardless of what's going on on the pitch. Was never going to be instantly amazing every game, these things take time, there's still an awful lot of people in 114 and 115 that don't want to sing, That's their choice, and that's fine but i'm not sure why they choose to sit there. Hopefully, they'll move elsewhere next season and more can join and perhaps even spread to the rest of the south stand. There's a staggering small amount of our fans that want to make noise anymore.

Credit to the other "singing section" in 111 today too. They were a hell of a lot louder than they have been recently. The banter can be funny on occasions, particularly when there's an empty/silent away section but there shouldn't be a rivalry of sorts. It may take a while, but we'll get the two sides in sync someday...

Funnily the smallest club have brought the most fans to the Etihad this season (Bournemouth).

That's a problem with almost every single song in the singing sections (and our songs in general) making it difficult, if not impossible, for the rest of the ground join in or even hear what's being sung. Most of our chants are sung too quickly and they seem to speed up as they go on too so by the time three blokes in, for example, 107 try and join in the chant is already finished in the singing sections. It's like they're in a race to get to the end of the chant for some reason.

Chill out with it lads, slow the fuck down!

You've hit the nail on the head there, KC. It was only after a sustained rendition of ' singing the blues' that more sections in the SS were able to take it up. If the singing section could somehow slow the songs down & allow other sections the chance to join in, I think things could improve.

Definitely, that is why we end up singing our own songs in the CBL1 because you sing too quickly. Thank you. :-)
