I'm on City Voice over 10,000 points match going blue and I advocated some kind of stand leaders and drums. The atmosphere is so desperate we have nothing else to lose and I see it time and again having a positive effect on other teams support.

I'm on CityVoice as well. SC holder and on the surveys I've stated many times we need Safe Standing.
This will improve the atmosphere making it more organic rather than being scripted and pre-planned.

I can imagine it now, the stand leaders having to sing specific songs that have gone through the club first, with no swear words allowed blahdeblah.

I like the idea of a Capo but designated stand leaders being versed by the club and CRB checked, along with being racial diversity polls and all this PC shit just puts me off.

I get what you are saying with regard to songs to my mind this individual (brave whoever he/she may be) should be given carte Blanche on the songs as long as they are not m@nich related! racist etc just common sense really.

I was near the front at west brom and to be honest acted like an unofficial capo, I have to say that when a group of lads at the back starting singing the songs I immediately joined in and the songs then spread across the whole stand. It can work but people need to want it to work. It goes without saying that without the backing of the majority of fans it is doomed to fail and tbh I think it's sad because the current atmosphere is atrocious.
 
Bump, did anyone go?

Also on CityVoice they've added another discussion on fan referendums. Most people are just going on about ticket prices/food prices etc. Also the club crest.

This was mentioned and seems like an interesting idea

How to make the stadium complex an entire Manchester Experience. Local beers, Local food etc supplied by local businesses Concentrating on quality, price and overall value for money. Working towards sharing this "Manchester Experience" with visiting fans and creating our own uqique home culture. Given the amount of money the club spends on salaries, facilities etc do we really need to rip people off for the price of a pie and a pint? We have the space within our complex to create something that is very "Manchester" specific and could be very unique. We could even charge the "Corporate" income section more for sharing such a local approach!

On food prices dont know why the club don't drop the prices and save the money by sacking those dreadful city square presenters who I presume don't do it for free. Would be very popular imo.
 
Am on city voice and certainly no JCL
Wasnt invited to last nights do but i dont think that "stand leaders" had that many supporters on the forum to warrant calling a meeting. For me 1894 are doing what they can at the South / East End of the ground.
I actually think that the kids and parents in the North Stand / Family Stand just need some encouragement to join in more often, there are little pockets of singers now which is great. I dont know how we can get more songs going in the North Stand, as I said on the forum, this fat 50 year old aint gonna make much difference but there must be some ideas out there.
Just like 1894 the club are trying to do something positive and my view is that rather than slag them off for bad ideas we should help them find the non cheesy best solution, perhaps trying the idea of a stand leader at the North Stand may work?
 
Great idea, mainly due to the fact when songs get going, other parts are out of time.
In Munich there were like 3 different sections so we were drowning ourselves out at times. It's like the YAya and Kolo song, ok KOlo gone but we still sing it. Well why not KIppax sing the YAya part and the south stand the Kolo part. Get a bit of competition going between the sections.

Maybe when the dippers come we can have a bit of banter with it. We do Yaya and they do Kolo.
 
It's gone quiet(forgive the pun) hasn't it.

Any new news on this idea/proposal since the auditions?
