Yeah, off the top of my head only Rostock and Magdeburg. They are both beast fanbases too so can out power an away end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The phraseology is crap yeah but the concept is hardly "embarrassing". The status quo of our home support, now that is embarrassing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather a singing section that’s “embarrassing” than have a near enough silent stadium for 90 minutes, that’s far more embarrassing. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKCJ Posted 9 May 2022 Share Posted 9 May 2022 Waste of time having the singing section in SK1. Needs to be in L1 near the away end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davieG Posted 9 May 2022 Author Share Posted 9 May 2022 For it to make an impact the whole of the Kop or at least as much of it as possible starting from the back going down needs to be a standing section, You wouldn't even need to talk about a singing section then as it would happen naturally, In my experience fans that stand voluntarily tend to be the most vocal. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football has changed a hell of a lot since them days unfortunately. For me for this to get off the ground it CANNOT be next to the away end. The club / the police will not allow it. Imagine the conversation between the club and the police. Yeah we are going to actively encourage singing and standing right next to the away end. Unfortunately in this country there is too many people that just associate hooligans with football songs. If you were to draw your typical football hooligan and you were asked to drop them into the stadium map. The majority of people would put them next to the away end. I'm not saying i am right but its what people would think. The UFS need their own area SK1 is ideal currently but for me SK4 directly opposite the away fans would be better. I am sure there is going to a complete rejig when the stadium is expanded. They need to show the club and the police that these are not hooligans and that they just want to help encourage the home supporters to increase the atmosphere in the stadium and its probably a reason why other groups have got off the ground by not being next to the away end. If they were next to the away fans if there was any trouble between home and away fans they would be instantly blamed and the whole 'project' would be shut down. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree , and unlike others i don't care about it being near the away fans. Much rather us sing songs and support our team than 'banter' between us and them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, the whole Kop needs to be made safe standing when the ground is re-developed. Anyone that sits in the kop currently that doesn't want to be there because of the safe standing should get first refusal on where they want to sit. When they re-development is complete everyone should have to re-apply for their seats. As i am sure some people just sit where they do as they don't want the hassle of the free for all that there is if you are looking to move your season ticket.

That's the club's terminology, we know they're a bit out of touch, but it's easier just to let them get on with it if that's what they want to call it while they're cooperating.

The others have shown support, in that one L1 was silent stood staring at the away fans and parts of the section really wanted to sing x player was a sex offender.

Fox92 Posted 9 May 2022 Share Posted 9 May 2022 Singing sections near away fans just attract people to try and wind up the away fans, not even bothered about the game or backing the players. Man City is a great example of this. Every time I go Man City away the people close to the away end are more interesting on shouting at us than backing their own team.

Yes and no, obviously without direction, that's what happens, but with a group of singers starting chants, you get the best of both worlds. It all adds to the atmosphere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalletFox Posted 9 May 2022 Share Posted 9 May 2022 Fully backed a singing section for the whole season, happy to move my seat if needed as creating an atmosphere at home has to be a priority! Its gonna be bouncing next season anyway when we finish top 4! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
