The change around will never happen, also what about all ST holders of family stand? they may be quite happy where they are and why should they move if so? I fear your petition will just be overlooked your first sentance uses the wording of CCS not being intimidating enough, which really avoiding the intimidation factor is I believe the purpose of how ground is set up now. However I do get your point at the change could enhance atmosphere so don't blame you for having a go at being heard with a petition (no pun intended) If the change over, took place I would go for seats in that area, although it is not important enough for me to sign.

Good luck though

Therefore the singers from the ninian and the canton can get together and we would have a wall of noise coming from a specific area which would prob be louder than different stands chanting.


Surely the first quote by forever blue is reason enough for the club to move the family stand, and as for the second quote which has been brought up a few times on this forum, in my opinion the club cannot advertise certain parts of the ground as singing/standing/chanting areas because this encourages (obviously) standing which we all know is not allowed in all seater stadiums. I think the club do well for us by tolerating standing in the canton and we should probably be grateful to them for that.
Could the club swap ends for one game only to see the difference and do it on a game with a large police presence anyway (jacks, leeds, worzels)? this way they wouldnt incur any extra police costs for the trial swap over

petition signed by the way, number 326

I do not mind it as it is. The atmosphere in the Canton is great most games and there have been no trouble with the kids and the away fans, I am sure the majority of away fans would like to stay where they have for the past season

The petition isn't to move away fans it's to move the family stand away from the away fans and move the canton to the current family stand.

If they did move them round, it would probably kill the atmosphere in the rest of the ground.

If everybody that sang was in the same corner, how quiet would the rest be!

I've been quite impressed with the Canton stand singing this season (and last)
We've shown on some occasions (Leicester last season) that we can get some fantastic atmosphere's going, but as I've said before I think a lot of it is to do with the fans having higher expectations. The majority of fans believe we can get promoted this season, most games now aren't as big as they are if we were fighting to survive. We're expecting to win most games, and expecting to score in every game.

INTERESTING DEBATE :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Re: Change the Family stand and Canton - Petition

I’ve signed the petition. I was surrounded by people asking stewards where their seats were yesterday with shocked looks on their faces as about 10 of us sang songs. We need the away fans as a nucleus to get the more vocal city fans singing again. It was Cardiff v Swansea and the place was dead?????? It worked with the old Grange End and A Block and I hope it works in the new stadium.
