Absolutely, no amount of Tony money will create a uncomfortable atmosphere for the opposition.
I actually respect away support for making the trip but we're far too nice and accommodating to put the away team off their game.
Since the Amex opening I can think of possibly 4 games where I've attended the crowd actually made a difference to the result in our favour.
Having the most vocal next to the away fans will make things a little more uncomfortable for visiting teams and also hopefully spur on the rest of the stadium to join in,when I have sat next to the away end I can honestly say you can't really hear the North stand at all.
I know this is a dagger to the heart of all Volvo driving enthusiasts but as a collective we really should be giving it some Welly on match day.

Cant understand how it keeps happening. Its not even a big stand - should be easy to sing in unison

I don’t know how many times down the years it’s been said, but YOU CAN’T HEAR WHAT THE OTHER SET ARE SINGING (depending on which side of the North you’re in). It really is that simple. Now, let that be the last time this simple explanation has to be said. But I doubt it… :)

It's grim oop north
Weird that its never a problem in a whole stand behind the goal at away games

Either way something needs to be done

Even Tottenham have a new "shelf" group trying to organise a proper singing section

Nope, views (maybe more "vision/perspective") are always crap from a lower tier and at the ends of the pitch

Prefer sideline and upper tier so I know when to scream shoot and when not to 😂😂

Take it in turns then maybe ? Have a set song list chosen by both sides and join in.

Definitely not moving from near the front of the WSU, enjoy watching the match from higher up. Had the same seat since the Amex opened and never thought of moving.

This with bells on. By far the priority of my match day experience is my preferred view of the pitch. Half way line WSU unless at some point the climb up there becomes an issue.

Interesting NSC sample size now at 18% of people interested in moving

Hopefully the club at least consider the option is all we can ask

Not sure 33 people out of a home crowd of @28k is really a sample size to make the club consider this.

It's clearly never going to happen under PBOBE's watch. And it's the same level of inertia from the same folks that can't even be arsed to list their ticket on the ticket exchange. Maybe time to drop the dead donkey? :bigwave:

The sample is 33 out of 194 who have replied which is just over 17%. If that were replicated over 22000 season ticket holders, it equates to 3740 interested parties - and we probably only really need half of that to actually make it worthwhile.

Assuming NSC is a fair representation of our support. I’d say it’s likely to be older than the average which suggests actually there might be even more interest in this.

Which is precisely why the new South Stand opportunity is so important and must be made the most of.

THE MOST VOCAL CHANT-STARTERS AND PERSISTENT SINGERS AVAILABLE MUST ALL BE GROUPED TOGETHER IN A BLOCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STAND.

Then there will only ever be one song at a time in the South Stand. Hopefully this will be loud enough to be heard in other stands and joined in with. At the very least it will regularly be loud enough and clearly heard by away fans to end The Amex reputation as a prime library.

I concur

Just wonder how the club can help orchestrate these discussions if they are serious about improving the atmosphere
