agree this is the singing stand not the be quiet stand- lets all sit down and occasionally clap like what happened against wigan

The club have fucked this up. It's ridiculously difficult to relocate. Your only option is to go to the box office and even then it hasn't been made clear to me that I can relocate for other people if needs be. Too much hassle. I'm stopping where I am or finding an empty seat in there on the night.

rubbish. i rang up with 8 customer numbers and within 5 minutes we have all been relocated

foley87 is one of the b.a. lads and well done for making the move

a few points

club said via the executive committee of the mcfcsc that all games in the champions league up until the quarters were gonna be £15 adults £5 kids. now it's £25. they could/should have stuck with £15 or if they wanted to charge £25, done a deal, 3 games for £60. a lot of our core support has been local working class families , 3 or 4 coming to the game. an extra £40/£50 overall means they have to pick and choose their games...

it's been the club's wish to try this out, the feedback they got was that fans wanted to have one end - especially in cup games, because it was always the southstand that had to relocate... think of forest at home, west ham at home, games where it's been like a home game for them

plus the fact that villareal are not bringing more than 200. FACT. that has been communicated to fletcher by villareal. this means we would have 200 aways and 2800 empty seats in an area with 3000 capacity. imagine if the club allowed that to happen, how would that help the atmosphere? people would say why didn't they release cheap tickets behind the goal, why didn't they try operation on end...

tickets will probably go in the extra blocks but it'll be last minute because that's the nature of our support, and also season ticket holders people on the cup scheme will stay where they are in the main

at a blue alliance meeting the idea of relocating was discussed, the problem was there were monsoon like conditions in manchester and it was a poor turnout, not enough for people to say let's move everyone en masse

whilst it might be the obvious thing to say lets put 50 lads in 115, if they are surounded by people who aren't used to singing the 50 will sing on their own and the atmosphere overall will be worse because those 50 should be in 117 and 118 getting it going. 117 and 118 need a push sometimes and that's why a lot of the fans there are staying in those blocks for this game. if 117 is loud and 111 is loud then the extra blocks should pick up on the noise which should make it loud

there are no away fans to buzz off for this game, but there was never going to be , so we have to do it ourselves

the wigan game was good for 15/20 minutes then it died. it was a shit game with a 2nd half goal. this is the champions league and we need to attack from the start, an early goal will see a much better atmosphere

what t.b.a have started doing now is mobbing up at the back of 116 117 118 and spreading out so that all those blocks sing the same songs, we sang not because everton fans were there or because we need away fans to motivate us, we sang because we like singing

not everyone has moved to 114 but if foley87 and his boys and a few orthers have , and we have the core still at the back of 117 then it should still be ok , 117 and 111 can always have a sing-off against each other anyway

would rather have all the blue alliance boys in the new blocks to get the atmosphere going, having 50 or 60 lads singing next to each other is better than having them all spread out, also a chance to get flags, banners and such in these areas with out people behind complaining

may we should get some of the old guvners ;) in the blocks they know how to get an atmosphere going

 

[foley87]

i would disagree. at spurs away we were all spread about once the stewards decided not to let us stand at the top and that kind of helped and created a great atmosphere. we won 5-1 which helped of course but it worked that day

hopefully everyone moving to the SS knows what to expect.

114 and 113 are still virtually empty but 115 116 have sold a lot of seats since the start of the week

gotta ask what are the plans-are you taking banners, flags, inflatables, think it would look great if every member had a bananna :) hoping all your members move into the blocks aswell

but the noise doesn't travel well in parts of the ground, it needs to rise up from the back of tier 1 and sweep round. if the blocks next to the trial blocks are loud that would make those trial blocks louder, because they would be joining in with the songs they can hear. when i say spread out - we are still next to each other, t.b.a occupy the back rows of 117 and 118 and can see each other, then a few near the back of 116, again 117 singers can see 116 singers. but we can't get in one massive block because there are normal season ticket holders in those seats too

the fans who are going in the extra blocks know it's a singing bit, they know they are there to sing, if it's not quite full they can filter back and eliminate gaps

I asked Sue Fitzgerald whether she could do this and she told me no. Will ring up the ticket office later and ask if I can do it by phone and for other people but thanks for telling me this.
