Given the nature of season tickets, I guess a way to get it started quickly is to make part of the North stand unreserved seating (or remove some seats) and designate it an area for the songmeisters. Those with season tickets can swap their tickets for ones in this area, perhaps at a discount to encourage those to relocate there?
The problem people may have to weigh up though is also their view of the game over the desire to sing. I am not sure I would fancy watching the full 90 minutes signing my heart out stirring at the back of the goal net.
Well I do have a t-shirt saying - football without ultras is nothing, its a t-shirt from the Mentalita ultra brand i bought before I had even heard about the Ulltras.
Ultras banner has vanished for some reason, I'm in E3 Row H . I noticed a lot of old gits are in that area, then realised I'm one myself. Often the ones trying to get singing started are over 40 . Come on u young uns get singing your heads off, I would move into the north stand IF the rest of the noise makers did the same . Took my neices once and went in south stand. Hated it in there. Also went in west stand upper with a female friend once it's even worse up in the clouds. Sure hope E 1, 2 and 3 move to the north stand along with all those who like to sing and jump about. Come on AP get it sorted. Fed up of 400 away fands sounding louder then the home fans. City fans in the north stand could raise the roof .
The reply with quote thingy. Somebody had missed out a [/QUOTE] tag and the whole thing went up in smoke. Thank me later. Or not at all.
Very slightly off topic but although we all obviously less than love TWS there's no denying that they know how to make some noise. They've currently just gone 2-0 down but are still deafening in their support. Oh for just a little of that at the KC.
I wonder if those of you whining about "old gits" and people who actually just want to watch football and shout a bit rather than singing realised that if we removed these "destroyers of a good atmosphere" the ground would be 99% empty and gate receipts / season ticket income would be .... bad. Those people being bitched about have also, dare I say, been supporters of the club a lot longer than some of the whiners too. Finally, in response to something above, 50 football fans have NEVER been influenced by the views of 3 people, thats the most stupid analogy I've seen.
I suppose you have a tartan rug with matching flask too? Oh, and 1979 was my first game! I am also behind those that shout (constuctively of course, not the boo boys!) as this also adds to the atmosphere. It is the narcoleptic users of the stadium (I can't call them fans) that are ruining the home games, you know those types that listen to Blunderside for away matches and know every minute detail of the game and as such can then phone in with the negative comments! The point being made was to make emphasis on democracy and was used as an example that if 50 people want something, but 3 people don't, then surely the 50 peoples views should acted upon, in this case an unreserved seating area, well away from boring farts like you, where the fans who want to sing, stand etc can go and actually enjoy the game! Perhaps they should have a sound proof area at the stadium for people like you, so you can watch the game in peace and quiet. If enough of you get together, then maybe the SMC might take your request seriously too!!
