Stadium atmosphere

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Small handful of tickets in the singing section for Swansea, available on general sale.

Only mine and the old man's second home game of the season yesterday, back in the singing section and both oved it once again. 

 

The simple thing of being able to sing without being tapped on the back or stared at like you've got 4 heads is remarkable. Those who slag off UFS for only singing "their songs" is a complete myth and agenda-driven too by the way. People started chants from further back and the UFS lads and lasses immediately picked up and ran with it. 

 

A great effort and I can honestly say I wouldn't have bothered with home games again without the section. Hopefully it grows and grows in years to come.

[Lako42]

Nobody blaming UFS for anything today? 

 

 

Weird

[goody2028]

Hats off to all those new faces that came in yesterday. Section was the best it’s been all season just shows what like minded supporters can achieve.

Went on a Brum YouTube vlog and he left a comment why is your singing section so far from the away fans, can't hear them.

Because the point is to get behind the team, what does it matter if the away fans can hear it? The only problem with the position is it isn't right behind the goal but I'm guessing the club wouldn't have gone for that

Oh no. However will we all cope without his "class support, from a Birmingham fan" post on the Footyawaydayzbanterladofficial Facebook page.

I know it's been said before a thousand times but when people can migrate to one area it improves the atmosphere.

This is exactly how football used to be. At Filbert St you knew what you were getting depending on where you chose to go for example. 

Then along came the Taylor report and it all changed forever.

There does seem to be a yearning to get back some of what we lost but I fear that today's bullshit at the Hawthorns might set things off course again.

Extra capacity would allow a bit more movement around for people but I also think that may be shelved.

I wouldn't blame the Taylor Report entirely. In our case it was the move over the road that caused the problem. The old Double-Decker's snapped up the South Stand seats as it was the view they were used to. The lads from the pens got diluted all over the place and never re-established much to the relief of the club. We were always seen as a nuisance.

Yep would definitely agree it played a part. Also there was a definitely split between the likes of myself that like to watch football from.behind the goal and fell for the whole SK1 kop thing and those who went to stand in L1 near the away fans. It definitely diluted that group from the old pens/kop and despite the club probably being pleased as you say, it's been at the detriment of our atmosphere ever since we moved.

Section was better today. A lot of people more up for it compared to the usual complacent dullards that don’t joint in. 
 

It’s just the lack of numbers. It felt bouncing and you could hear Birmingham songs about us being quiet, despite us really giving it a go. Noise doesn’t travel unless there’s a real number behind it. 

Just to go back to this as these are exactly my thoughts. Expanding the section or moving it centrally would be steps forward, the latter option seems particularly unlikely though.

Enzo calling for the fans tonight, hopefully a good atmosphere 

[HighPeakFox]

Please remember - how our fans sound will be very much a matter of where you are in the ground. 

 

I accept that not enough people pull their weight, but I do wish that people believed in the known science that is acoustics. 

[FoxesDeb]

We score after 2 minutes and the camera pans to our fans politely applauding.

 

My dog's had his balls chopped off today and even he showed more enthusiasm for our goal 

[fazzyfox]

Surely we’ll out-sing the away fans but then again they have the Welsh gene which guarantees booming close harmony singing ability, like 300 Harry Secombe’s on a stag night

[Tuna]

Listen I've not been to the KP in many years now and don't go to games, so maybe I'm a bit rich sniping but I don't understand why you would leave a game of football before the final whistle, when you are winning a game and are top of the league?

[em9999]

I've never left any stadium early , unless their was a fire drill

[niyaminski]

Sounded piss poor on LCFC TV tonight.

[Lako42]

Heard 200 away fans who were facing the west stand from the back of the section. 

 

 

Cauldron 

[foxile5]

The fans leaving were getting sung at by Union FS and were enjoying it.

 

Deeply entrenched and part of the 'match-day experience'

[shawy2510]

Well leaving today was pretty decent. Final whistle went, had a pee & everyone had disappeared 🤣

[Lako42]

I applauded the lads off after the final whistle and I'm already in Glenfield

Don’t want to keep being negative, but my god. 
 

The only noise the East Stand makes is  anger at opposition players stealing two yards for a throw in.

Well if that doesn’t prove general sale doesn’t work then I don’t know what does.
