sharrowowl Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) I was at the Malaga-real sociedad game last night. As far as I could gather 2 sects of supporters who are more your vocal 'ultra' types. El frente Bokeron and El Malaga Hinchas. Frente Bokeron are in their section directly behind one goal. Got a drummer, plenty of singing. The other group sing like nutters. Apparently last season they were higher up in one of the corners but got asked to move by the club. Now they're behind the other goal in their own little pen. There's a mic at the front and a couple of speakers set. Seemed to be 2 lads who were basically there to get the other fans going singing songs etc. It worked really well and they didn't stop even after sociedad equalised. Potentially we could have a similar set up. We tend to see the kop/North corner split as a bad thing it could actually work to our advantage if organised better. Getting some 'call and response' chants going etc. Really think the bottom of the Kop should be made into a singing section, few flags etc. This season has been terrible for atmosphere and form at home whilst away has been a different story. Get a bit of that away fervour going at home and I reckon we'll get more out of the players. Edited April 5, 2015 by sharrowowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest George Smith Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 We'll never have a singing section anywhere in the ground 'till we have enough supporters wanting to sing. We'll never have enough supporters wanting to sing 'till we have something to sing about! Doesn't sound like a drum.....but sounds very much like a nail being hit on the head................. Only need about 50 committed fans and it'll create a racket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eaton_Swfc Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Atmospheres away haven't been THAT great compared to recent seasons to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asteener1867 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) I tried to organise a line dancing section on the north concourse but I couldn't raise the numbers,so I can't see the idea of a singing section catching on . UTO Take yer partner do's e doh up the ramp an' off we go On the kop step ..two by two... see what Sheffield Wednesday do Stamp yer left foot, stamp yer right hold hands wiv a Wednesdayite sashay up on past the band why's our pitch made outta sand?

Guest Liam Povey Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Wouldn't be hard to do and we all know the power of social media so why not do it start a twitter account for it and a facebook page as well as on this forum the club will only take note if it gains some ground we know where we want to do it and on the kop no where else is really suitable and its doesn't have the highest concentration of season ticket holders in that block so won't have a impact on that many people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bannofan Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 The reason the atmosphere is terrible at Hillsborough is that we have the worst attendance v capacity ratio in the league. If you have 20k attendance in a 40 k stadium you are never going to get a big enough noise from the fans that do sing. Singing at football matches is infectious. All the South standers, do you think they remain silent when they go to away matches? I have 8 mates with season tickets in the South, who barely manage one ' Hi Ho Sheffield Wednesday' at home but never stop at away games. Basically, the atmosphere only improves at home if we have nearly 30k in, or if we are winning 4-0 and are prematurely celebrating. Nothing will change this.

Guest Liam Povey Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I don't think the club will take note until we actually start having a impact like more season tickets in that section to be honest or maybe if we gain large followings on twitter and Facebook and actually get people talking about this singing section but emailing the club won't hert also the only problem with this idea is that we don't actually have any one to lead the social media campaign because if we did i think it would take off quicker than Semedo day to be honest and we all know how successful that was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asteener1867 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Hillsboroughs fine when its got a decent football team..no need for bands or singing sections or owt else.... You got to get the actual product in place before you start this sort of orchestrated nonsense...then once you get a football team that actually energises the crowd..all at once you realise you didn't need any orchestrated nonsense anyhow...

Guest Liam Povey Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 We're agreed on where to put it and this is the time too do it with our future looking so bright and season ticket renewals just finishing first phase their isn't a down side from what i can see i don't see how this can't have a positive effect on and off the pitch a improved match day experience even if we're playing bad and actually being able to get behind them when we are playing bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HirstWhoScoredIt Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) We're agreed on where to put itAre we?If you are going to put it somewhere simple science tells you it should be somewhere with a roof just above it, not the only bleedin' area in the ground with no roof! It's called acoustics. Edited April 5, 2015 by HirstWhoScoredIt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharrowowl Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 You don't mean tangos bit do you? Definitely not there that needs demolishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Liam Povey Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) Yes the acoustics are not the best in that block but you can still hear the tango group from the other side of the kop and they are hardly a big group also where else on the kop would be suitable and wouldn't affect a large amount of season ticket holders if not that block ? Also people are sheep if the front few rows stand all those behind them will Edited April 5, 2015 by Liam Povey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
