'Love is noise'
This sounds well creepy.

'Love is noise' This sounds well creepy. In your mind! Just taken from a song by The Verve. Not a name as such, just a temporary slogan methinks. |

So long as the word "drum" isn't muttered or discussed during these meetings!

Hate these contrived things.
Atmosphere and singing is off the cuff, sometimes dependent on the score, a match incident etc.
Whatever next , song sheets?

Just a likeminded bunch meeting together to make a din when the atmosphere isn't like it was on Saturday. Nothing too contrived. Just trying to recapture an element of old terrace culture. The original Boothen wasn't always loud but I loved it because you could gravitate towards folk that suited you. |

A well backed & supported "Ultra" type such as a few other clubs have wouldn't be an issue at all. It doesn't mean one bloke banging a drum for 90 mins,or something to the extent of Dortmund "Yellow Wall/The Unity" due to the severe lack of numbers. Just a well organised group who give it as much vocal support as possible, show the odd display via banners/choreography & connect with the Club further is a positive thing, and not something that really should be dismissed as being non British or foreign football culture
If the likes of Oxford,Lincoln & even Shrewsbury have such groups then why not Stoke City?

Thats fair enough then, but due to seating allocations i'd imagine will prove extremely difficult? What do i know though.  |

Indeed, mate. It's not about sad gimmicks, just bringing a bit of life to a home matchday culture for those who want it. |

I always feel atmosphere is attributable to what is on offer on the pitch.
Doesn't even have to be a winning scenario. Blood and thunder tackles, attacking football and a decent ish away support all make an atmosphere.
Always room for improvement so good luck with your quest.

Thats fair enough then, but due to seating allocations i'd imagine will prove extremely difficult? What do i know though. You are spot on. We've met the club and arranged a part of the ground usually empty. No big problem if it doesn't work, just a chance for those keen on a more proactive atmosphere, regardless of team performance. Also an opportunity to make the ground feel a bit more like home. Some ace flags knocking around and we have a graffiti artist up for doing concourse murals e.g. Steino, Greenhofc, Fuller etc. |

I also think it can work the other was as well though. |

Weve done the clappers before in 2009-2010 way before Leicester made them popular
As long as it's not Voovoozelas I aren't bothered

We've checked the spread of season tickets. No way a large number of new fans can move to South Stand. If another group get together to create similar noise where is the harm? |

One good game and it’s like we’re Arsenal.
Where were them other 7k+ fans when we were scraping it past Millwall? Or losing to Wigan?

We need specially chosen fans on platforms with megaphones on each side of the ground like they do in Denmark, 8 to 10 in the John Smiths Upper |

Saturday proved that the attitude and performance on the pitch will bring back the atmosphere quite easily. Fuck the drums, fuck the clappers, fuck the "singing areas" because it isn't required and we're not a tin pot club.

Given the amateurish nature of our club administration they will probably be handing out those bloody Vuvuzelas! 😕 |

Like you mate, any such imaginary and pathetic scenario would make my blood boil. Until then, I won't be getting worked up about an idea that doesn't exist. At least not in ST4! |

I'm not getting worked up, trust me  if I remember correctly when we had the clappers most fans made paper planes and threw them on the pitch. |
