Would you consider moving into the first two blocks in the east stand nearest the away supporters to raise the atmosphere at the ground?
Ive posed the question with the club for consideration at next weeks Fans Forum meeting and following on from a similiar topic earlier this year Id like to know if people would seriously consider it?
The south or JS stand Ive been told is out of the question, so now its up to you guys....

as long as you don't make too much noise, some of us like a kip during the game !!
One point is that surely a seat in the East will be dearer than one in the North and if you make prices for the blocks nearest the JS the same as the North then you have to do the same for the whole of the East.
Would it help the atmosphere ? All you'd get is a bunch of herberts spending the game singing the 'incest' song and baiting and goading the opposition fans and that doesn't actually help the team.
What's the incentive?
I wouldn't move but I might allow the young uns to walk over from there seats to learn some new swear words songs
think you misread the question
think he is a JCL, who most likely doesnt' even pay for his own ST, who doesn't know the name of the Stands at the Valley. : - 0
Still a logistical nightmare for the club & the cost of stewarding would probably be more. If you think the club will agree to anything where there is an increase in cost next season you are dreaming.
Plus what about all the Flaskers who have had their seat for 30 years & do not wanna move ?
Define what the "right atmosphere" is exactly. Drunkards standing up obscuring the view of those behind them and abusing them when politely asked to sit down whilst disturbing the row they "sit" in by walking to and fro the concourses making others stand up and down like a whore's draws? Or people who sit quietly watching the match they've paid good money to come and see. Or a halfway between the two extremes whereby people are absorbed in the match but join in with the chants and songs they know.
Ultimately the atmosphere is determined by what happens on the pitch. If the players genuinely give their all then the fans will. Under Parkinson the players are giving more but it is too little too late. The fans know that so are not really responding.
Sort out what happens on the field of play and the rest of it will take care of itself in my humble opinion.
Who is this guy? Gills fan on a wind up if you ask me : - )
True, not in the remit but rather than whine and bitch you are, as I read it, trying to create the right situation for a better atmosphere that might then transmit to the players on the pitch.
Go for it.
The atmosphere isn't going to improve next season, I don't think our stadium is any worse for atmosphere than any other club in this division tbh, plus we are bottom and have won 2 games in 29 which doesn't help.
lol P I know what you mean...anyway here was your suggestion from Feb 6th thread...
I would suggest from a banter point of view this area should be in the East Stand in the Block next to the away fans.
Yes there might be an objection mate, but if we dont ask, we certainly wont get anything done ever again...lol
;o)
Spot on Len, spot on.
Why thank you, first time I've been called dumb - That's a new one.
;-)
However if we could get Carlos Santana and a bunch of nutty drummers with a full on brass section and some tasty backing singers (about 15 Sam Browns should do it) then maybe were talking.
Perhaps like the 20/20 cricket we could have special music intros for different phases of the game like goal kicks/corners or free kicks. You know the sort of stuff. Very naff.
Or maybe and I know its a maybe howabout some goals for the home team interspersed with the team kicking in that direction. It has been tried before and I can promise you it did work.
Otherwise its flask and wine gums for me.
Maybe we got used to getting behind the team as we were underdogs, but got a bit complacent when we became a 'model premiership club', and were expected to win games. How many times did the likes of a Norwich or Wolves sing at us '2-0 and you still dont sing'
Think the fact that we all thought we would be winning 75percent of home games in the championship meant we had the stuffing knocked out of us when the performances we saw on the pitch deteriorated to such a degree. The fact we have not got any songs either doesnt help. Not got any answers apart from close the upper tiers. Sod the people who have been in same seat for years, it's for the greater good of the club - dont recall any tears for me when I was kicked out of the south stand.
