We should copy what Crystal Palace do with flags, flares and massive Choreo's each home game Make the North Stand fully unreserved , pass holders or not, sit where you want, get all the singing fans together, it could be perfect
Security is in the North Stand and they would do their nut! Can just see it now! They would not be able to see a thing. And don't you know flares are dangerous! Need Amber and Black smoke bombs instead!
For the first season it should be unreserved seating. How does anyone know where to sit if we have never sat in there before? Unreserved for a season would give everyone an equal chance to sit where it suits them with people which they can get on with. Those who like to stand can and those who like to sit can sit where fans standing isn't an issue. Not rocket science is it ?
Urgent need for some fans liason to get this right. Blocks at Wembley worked but everyone still feared they would be sat near flaskers asking them to sit down.
Palace fans are ****s and I would never want goal music and all that rubbish but to be fair they do have a great atmosphere in that corner of the stadium. Look at the scenes on Saturday with the sea of black and amber flags, it could definitely improve the atmosphere all around the stadium if done right.
Can you do unreserved seating in PL? Unreserved seating in other divisions, and in rugby league as well, means you have to leave 10%of the seats unsold.
Firstly I don't think it's anywhere near as bad as it's made out to be. E1-E3 are louder than most PL grounds. People focus on the fact that only E1-E3 make any significant noise which is true but at many PL grounds they don't even have that. Did you go to Stoke or WBA this year? Their grounds were so disorganised with singers dotted about that no big groups every got going and we totally drowned them out in the away end. Yet you always hear about Stoke's amazing atmosphere. Hmm... As long as it doesn't disrupt the well-organised E1-E3, which really depends on whether or not they all buy into it and move, then I support the singing section in the North stand, but regardless we don't need to be like Palace, we can definitely do without the goal music, cheerleaders, tiger on the crossbar etc.
I can completely understand why some people don't like the Crystal Palace style of support but the atmosphere at the KC isn't good is it ? The same fans can make a noise at Wembley though funnily enough when we stood up all game If the stewards allow the home fans in the north stand to stand all game then the atmosphere will improve , what's the betting the new occupants of the north stand are told to sit down unlike the previous occupants ? Am I just negative ? As far as I know the regulations are the same at Wembley as the KC , will we see common sense stewarding and policing ? I believe Ehab said he wanted more noise at the KC something that I agree with him about . I think we've got long way to go before we intimidate anybody with the atmosphere at the KC
I think it's become a cliche among City fans to say we have a quiet ground and it's just accepted. A bit like the one that Stoke have this amazing atmosphere. How many grounds have a section louder than E1-E3? How many songs at away grounds were as loud as we were on 19'04" for almost every game last season?
