You'd better keep it quiet mate, they'll close 116 as well if they get wind of what you're up to! ;)

It will cause mayhem if those intending to stand move to 116, as there are a lot of moaners in 115 who won't be able to see without standing themselves if this happens, so stand by to be harassed by the stewards if this does go ahead!

To be fair to those in 115 as well, the majority have had season tickets for donkey's years and quite a few are elderly who won't put up with having to stand to try and see our matches!

If they feel that they will be affected by people standing in 116/117 they could easily swap to the other side of the halfway line at the other end of the Ninian, there are many equivalent seats available in all the other sections. In fact barring a handful of seats which have been taken, there is the whole section of 112/113 available. I really don't know why supporters want to turn this into what them and us want, surely everyone wants more atmosphere in the ground?? We can all recognise that this would improve with a singing section as close to the away section as possible? :bluescarf:

Why don't all the singers just get into Canton?

I thought this new singing section were originally saying that they weren't going to stand. Seems to have turned on its head now.

Why should those in 115, loads of whom have had their tickets for many years, have their view blocked and what kind of selfish shit is it that's now suggesting they could move their seats to 112.

Fully agree with CalshepCCFC and Skewett on this. Some people seem to think only what they want counts.

I doubt 117 will be closed but you won't be able to purchase a season ticket in their. What they'll most likely do is allow this stand for walk up fans meaning that if your all standing in 116, the club will get a lot of complaints from either side of you, justifying why they're telling you all to sit down.

I said this in the other thread when this idea first came to light, but why don't you all just come over to the canton stand? Pick the centre block (behind the goals) towards the back for all the singers. This way, you get to stand with out being harrassed and banned by the stewards and the club are happy because they havent got to force people to sit down all game. hopefully then, everyone who wants to sing will be in the same area making a shit load of noise.

I feel the club are always going to win this battle.

Stop stressing, all people are trying to do is organise a section with like minded supporters who want to sing, that can be standing up or sitting down. I have been in this section from day 1 and there have always been a large number who have done this. This is just the start of supporters having the freedom to move to the area that suits them, rather than what's was forced, when season tickets were in such high demand.

Nope it's you that has to get real.

Past experience shows that those currently standing and often causing friction in 117 will just do exactly the same in 116.

The Canton turns a blind eye to standing. If you go there you can stand and sing if you like without spoiling the enjoyment of those who want to sit, or can't stand.

The reality is, is that most people in section 117 and 116 stand for portions of the game until they are told to sit down by the stewards, most would prefer to stand all game in those sections, but don't really have a problem with sitting when the game has no excitement to it and that's how it will continue. However, gradually more and more supporters who are open to standing and singing will gravitate to those sections over time. Supporters, like yourself then have a choice to make, you either join in and enjoy yourself like a normal football supporter or you start jumping up and down like a big baby and make a fuss how your personal space has been invaded or you take the actions of a sensible and intelligent individual, who thinks to himself 'you know what, I don't really enjoy standing up, so I could move a couple of sections along where the majority sit in peace and quiet, where I will have exactly the same view of the pitch and stop stressing myself out' However, unfortunately I have a feeling that you will take the option of jumping up and down. Some individuals are just made that way. :lol: :lol:

No big fuss at all, if people want to get on board then do so if not then don't. It's a football match not the opera. :thumbup:

Lol

Your last statement made me laugh and just shows what a dipstick you really are. It's not me that's jumping up and down, it's those in 116/117.

I won't have to get agitated because I know it's in the club's plans to ensure that the Ninian stand is for those that want to sit and watch their football. I won't have to worry one jot as the club are aiming to do it for me.

Looks like the club are closing 117 this season. Hmmmm!! This won't stop us, 116. Seats and rows to be announced this week. :shock:

Yeah, that's the way forward, a few of you who have been rebuffed before, are going to get the club to move all the loyal season ticket holders in 115 into a corner by the Canton Stand and give up their prime halfway line view of our matches, so that you and a load of the old "A Blockers" from Ninian Park, can stand, posture, gesture and exchange insults with our opposing fans! :laughing5:

As I've said in a previous post, the majority of the noise at Selhurst Park, is caused by a relatively small section of fans, stuck in one corner of their ground, far away from the visiting supporters, mainly chanting the same rhythmic tune throughout the 90 odd minutes of football, so sorry if I don't agree with your point that the atmosphere would be improved by allowing the "Singing Section" as you put it, to move nearer to the away supporters!
