What really should happen is switch the canton with the grange end, that would generate an atmosphere!

The new stadium is awfully sterile, I’m a season ticket holder in the canton and many a time I’ve just gone too the stadium and not even gone too my seat just had a few pints under the stand watching it on the tv, doesn’t feel anything like the old days any more unfortunately. The powers that be have strangled the life out of us.

Sit down naughty boy
Agree with sterile atmo
More stewards than fans nobodys wants a punch up these days which is agreeable with most fans but the singing chanting etc has gone very poor i notice a lot of away fans that come to cardiff say that we where very quite in the canton they cannot hear us and we cannot hear them to far apart our songs have got very sterile
and i think there is no enjoyment in singing anything these days the last time i heard us sing with some meaning was in the prem playing manure liverpool etc and we have not had anyone like warnock geeing up the fans when we played wolves a few years back on a wet evening when we where going toe to toe for promotion and holliet scored a screamer that was the best atmo to date for me since then for me it has gone backwards unfortunatly.

Good idea, do you know if the Canton and Grange end are the same size?

Yes I remember that game, still remember what it was like underneath the canton
Before the game,

Cocaine and being the other end of the stadium has ruined the atmosphere at the games

Every ones either too spun too chant or don’t see the point

I’ve seen loads of fellas try to get a chant going unsuccessfully

Thats why a lot go to away games a better atmo and more togetherness as fans
we are slowly becoming like the egg in the principality stadium dead atmo and not together as a group hope sat things change i am in my 60s but still sing my head off.

In fairness in my corner of ninian there's a few of us who have a go but unless we've just scored many can't be arsed.

117 was superb today, great atmosphere and proves we can make one. We are all in there as it's next to the away, great view, a lot of great characters, be superb if we could fill it up with more like minded souls.

The club need to seriously think about moving the Canton Singers to the Grange End. Gets everyone more involved.
I did read on a message biard once that the council wouldn't allow it. Not sure if this is true.

I've sat all over the CCS as I'm sure you have to Wez and 117 is the best by a country mile. I believe some Canton singers want to relocate there and I hope they do. I can teach them the lyrics to my forum user name. :old: :laughing6:

Monty, not sure if you were there but the Ninian were as loud and proud as I've seen them in a long time. The Canton was in full voice and we even heard renditions of 'Do the Ayatollah, Ninian' and Do the Ayatollah, Grandstand' for the first time in a fair while... :clap:

Vincent Tan should take note that this stadium omand/or set of supporters can 'rock' when given something to 'rock' about...! :ayatollah:

Yes was there yesterday and 2 other bluebirds from newtown i am in between canton and ninian
my post was started to get a reaction in a positive way to help the team supporters enjoyment and being part of yesterday especially as the cartot crunchers had so many there and we needed to counter there noise which after the 1st 20 mins they got quieter after we took more control of the game
so i hope i had contributed in stirring a few to sing and join in
and for a few more to turn up
The stadium underneath my feet was bouncing yesterday and i thouroughly enjoyed the game i don' t know how to put on a video clip of where i was after philogene's goal but a grwat atmosphere and waited til lamouche bamba and kabu had funished there salutes.

I had the same seat as my season ticket twice for a Wales game I can tell you know that the place was rocking from the voices of the Welsh fans That always leads me to think it is not just the stadium that makes a poor atmosphere

Mate of mine has come up with another song for lamouchi/Bamba, to the tune of Kate Bush's Babooshka:

"Ohhh Ohhh, Lamouchi Lamouchi Lamouchi Bamba"...."Ohhh Ohhh,Lamouchi Lamouchi Lamouchi Bamba" :clap:
