Yesterday it was fantastic, some guys arrived about 10 rows back from me after about 10 minutes into the game who sung for almost constantly for 95 mins, I think it rubbed off on people around them.

The acoustics of the ground are awful. It was dead as a doornail where I was, truly awful. Nobody was interested in getting songs going but they did join in when a song spread around the ground. That hardly ever happened though & barely heard any songs at all coming from the City singing areas. Just the occasional snidey Spurs crap, but they were shite as well.

The Kippax would have chewed Harry's ears off.


Bring back standing.

The acoustics in the stadium were IMHO not designed for football hence the reason why the roof is too short.

The acoustics are crap, absolutely. I'd have a standing section straight away if it were possible.

It sounded ok when people were singing in 110/11 and I could hear the south stand on a few occasions.

Not sure it's the acoustics that are the issue. Think it's more to do with the 15-20 blocks on the bottom tier not singing, practically the entire second tier not singing and none of the third tier singing.

If maybe half the ground joined in with the singing it would be loud as fuck but as it is you have 10/15% of the stadium singing and the rest criticising them for not being loud enough.

sounded pretty good on my tv, sometimes its too quiet, but not yesterday.

If it was possible to hear anything to join in with then many people would join in & do when it's loud enough to hear. In the last two games, if people had joined in the songs we can hear from where I'm sat, we would have been singing 'Liverpool' & 'When the Spurs Go Marching In'.

Atmosphere in 111/10/09 was really good. I did like the fact that a few people brought red cards. I hope that takes off, spuds fans thought they were funny taking the piss then the cards came out..up yours dick`eds.

He`ll wave what he wants....

We were waving cards (real & imaginary) at Howard Webb & it seemed as if he did a Foy & belatedly decided to book the Spurs player. Perhaps it works!

It was pretty raucous in the South Stand.

I think it's a case of people needing to join in block by block as I can sometimes see the south stand going mental and obviously making noise but not hear a thing from my seat in 110.

People do have a tendency to stop mid verse for some reason and others wait until the new verse starts to join in. Which makes it all a bit higgeldy piggeldy and no one knows when a song is starting or stopping and apart from the singing sections most people in the ground are reluctant to sing on their own to get the block going.

Which is why I think the whole eastern European way of doing it is a gooden (the guy upfront orchestrating everything) but others don't agree. Others would take offence at being 'told' what to sing and when.

There was one song that really made me laugh about the fact Bale has the face of a chimp :o)

I couldn't quite make that out, i heard a lot of folk laughing though.

We're considering getting 20,000 yellow and reds cards printed and selling them at £3 a pack for 25 yellow/25 red.

Imagine a sequence of foul play by the opposition and then 20,000 yellow or red cards being brandished by the crowd. It would be a first in English footy and quite interesting to guage what percentage of fans deem a particular incident to be no card, a yellow or a red.

Second thoughts maybe we just get red ones made as most of the fans will be wearing blue tinted specs and perhaps not able to offer a balanced view.

was still shit in parts and people sitting down in my block.
