Those who wanted to join in did so and it made it seem as though the whole side was singing. The noise under that old roof was incredible If you ventured into the North or Main stands the atmosphere was the same as at COMS.
The design of the new stadia do not help matters. The lower tier of the south stand is, IMO, too shallow to create the kind of noise the old stadium used to. Arsenal suffer more than us. Older stadia, where stands have been rebuilt into single tiers under a cantilever roof provide loads more noise, but interestingly, only at one end, usually behind the goal, with away fans generally at the opposite end. This creates more noise inside the ground as the home and away fans compete.
Whether our stadium will lend itself to a better atmosphere, like the Hamburg/scum cup ties of a couple if years ago on a regular basis is, if you ask me, debatable.

The lack of atmosphere is because people do not sing. Regardless of what design of stand we sit in, people get bored of making noise after the first ten minutes then dont open their gobs again until we score (usually just before the break).
We only sing when we're winning... Sing when we're winning (but only for 2 or 3 mins after each goal)
And on 90 mins there are only about 25% of us left in the south stand to sing!!

The acoustics do contribute. When people sing in other areas of the ground, it sounds distant, wheras in some grounds, even big grounds, it sounds closer & thus the less vocal supporters in other stands are more likely to feel like they are part of it & join in. Whether this is caused by the dip in the roof at either end I don't know but it would be possible to test it & perhaps even fix it if the club were willing to spend a few quid on it.

It would make a difference if people were singing but they arnt, not in the singing section or the south stand... That is a fact.
We do only sing at the beginning and when we score thesedays.

There's only 1 city!! wrote:maybe for next season or season after, they should have a proper sining section, and have a piece on the season ticket/card renewal if you want to be in the singing section so it gets everyone together??
how you police the people, not joining in that have asked to be there, i'm not sure
i think putting the fans in the clouds isn't the answer
