I realise that there are different ways to support (y)our team but don't see why it has to be falsely engendered!! I sit in my row, I sing when I want to, I cheer when I want to, I get laughed at/with a lot but I just get on with it.
It's my choice how I do it. The number of times when I am the only one cheering or singing or even shouting to the players is legion but it's what I want. Sometimes I shout out when it is quiet all round me and they laugh and I blush but heck I've paid my money to support my team and I will do it my way. Not with somebody standing in front of me orchestrating me, but MY WAY!!
I was told on Sunday, in a friendly and supportive way, that all the lady had kept hearing was me shouting 'Get off him, you leave our players/Zaba/Clichy alone' and my singing 'Blue Moon', 'This is what it's like to be City' etc. on my own. So why can't we just leave people alone to do their own thing?!!
People catch on, the little lad behind me who is about 4 or 5 knows the name of all our players and shouts for them as well so we have the generations to carry on. He definitely doesn't need a cheer leader/stand leader. He is ace.

Been watching/supporting City for more than 50 years, closer to sixty, this idea if its for real, makes me cringe!.
If as many people in this thread made as much noise in the stands as they are doing about this idea then there would be no need for a "stand leader"
Fair play for the club for continuing to fight a losing battle and not give up like thousands and thousands of blues have.

TV money and sponsorship makes that entirely possible.

Giving up? I've continued to support the club the way I've wanted to for years. I havent given up anything, but would be doing so if I changed my behaviour, and the way I like to act at games just to make people like you happy.

It could all backfire if the stand leader is a terrible racist.
Because the club asked for ideas & fans came up with this. it works in other countries .but will proberbly go down like a lead balloon .,but we all love a tryermcfc-mark said:How did we let it get to this?

in what country does this work? never heard any idea like this in my life
Just have a look at European games theres usualy some geezer at the front stood on a barrier with a big fu*k of megaphone ,The germans & croatia fans seem to do it more than most .The club have tried everything else .may be this is a step to far .if people want to sing they will it wont make any difference is there is someone designated to start it or notmansour's tow ropes said:cyberblue said:Because the club asked for ideas & fans came up with this. it works in other countries .but will proberbly go down like a lead balloon .,but we all love a tryermcfc-mark said:How did we let it get to this?

Fans havent come up with the idea don. Its a club idea floated by the club and the fact is they actually think its a decent shout is the most worrying aspect. They haven't got a grip on reality. Its like the bellend who did that guide on the website "how to be a city fan" its just a load of shit don
Don't think it's going to be capos at the front of the stand, but rather a guy who will persistently try and start songs, probably standing up... and getting thrown out by ShowSec in the process despite being tasked by the club to do it.

I think we've got to be careful of fans ideas on city voice. I'd be amazed if rags haven't already signed up to it, and it is pretty easy for the club to introduce things under the guise of "fans wishes".

Are there assistant stand leaders for one wants to go early to beat the traffic?
