Some sad bastards on here that dont remember the atmosphere of the old Boothen End with singers all grouped together. I think this is long overdue, and good to see it starting. I would certainly buy a ticket next time Im in town in the "singing area" I agree, there were various groups all over the old Boothen. Right side, Left side, the middle, the ‘pint of bass’ lads, the ‘bread’ boys front right and let’s not forget the paddock lads. Even when the game was crap there was still an atmosphere as they all tried to outdo each other. I’m not much for the contrived continental stuff but if lads want to get together and chant that’s cool with me. Go for it lads... but no drums or trumpets 👍

The new corner and the extra space does give us an opportunity to do this type of thing. The new corner round to the south stand- full of as many people who want to stand and make an atmosphere could produce some decent noise.

Need to be a bt more social media savvy and up our game in the digital arena
We need a Dedicated area for selfie stick selfies with the players as they run around the pitch warming up.
My friend AfterBeef is a Stoke fan and owns a digital startup in london and can help us with promotion and can also provie tips on how to take the best selfie, get into optimal position, strike the best pose, uploading windows to get best results, maximise impressions online, SEO, etc etc

Atmosphere is driven by the events on the pitch ultimately. When we're doing well we're genuinely one of the loudest around as we proved for a few years. When we're doing shit we're quiet, like any other club. I hate contrived ways to create atmosphere. If we want to be serious about it, get the club behind the campaign for safe standing.

When we're doing shit we're quiet, like any other club. I hate contrived ways to create atmosphere. If we want to be serious about it, get the club behind the campaign for safe standing. We are waiting for a reply to our questions about safe standing. It's slightly contrived, but not significantly. If I want to sit nearer the more vocal supporters, it's difficult to do that in large numbers in our ground. Back in the day, we'd gravitate naturally towards the noisy lot at the back of the Boothen. This is just a modern equivalent, filling a void in the ground in the process. I agree that performance is the biggest factor in an atmosphere but there's no harm in a bunch of fans who are up for singing when the performance is crap, getting together. ActuallY, I think it is possible to inspire performances as well - proactive more than reactive. Respect your view if you see it differently, mate.

So are we really suggesting dumping a load of ultras, or in our case, Block 19 clowns in the new corner right next to the Family area?
Come on lads, get a grip of yourselves.

Bunch of old farts on here. Can't see anything wrong with trying to generate some atmosphere or is everyone happy just being a sing when you're winning home crowd as that's what we're becoming.

Not at all what is being spoken about. I imagine those misinformed generalisations are exactly the type of statements you expect from the very people you are dismissing.

A couple of thoughts Which block(s) is this proposed for .. if the take up grows what plans , if any exist for expansion .. and more importantly what thought or consideration is in place for those in bordering areas/ blocks that may not want this on their doorstepWhy would people in bordering blocks not want this on their doorstep? Is there a single football supporter in the world that doesnt like singing/chanting in the stadium? Seems a weird request to me. I could understand if it blocks peoples view of the game whilst seated. but it surely wont be doing that

Stoke have all the basic infrastructure in place to create a modern atmosphere, Large Scale visual Display System, Video Screening in the concourses, A relatively good PA system ( if a fraction to loud) We have local colleges and a university with Students studying Arts,Video &Media, Music etc the Club & Fans posses a stock pile of Video & photograps. We have strived to make contact with the local primary schools,so open it up to the kids to come in with their ideas they usually have the best ! It’s time to leave Sir Ken Dodd & his diddy men behind and to drag the club into the 21st century, take a example from our neighbors Wolves who with a basic Sound &Visual experience have their place rocking.

It's a problem arising from one size fits all seating we are trying to address isn't it?
It's hard for like minded people to gather and bounce off one another.
The Bet365 is a comprehensive school which needs some streaming if everyone is to excel!

Cheeky.. how do you know standing won’t try to become the norm ... most that like a sing as a starting point say you can’t sing sitting down
I don’t see much or indeed anything yet from the promoters , other than let’s all gather in a non designated area
So nothing weird at all... proof is the eating as I’ve said , sight lines , possible standing , flag waving , difference in concourse behaviour/ numbers , language , additional security , exit and entrance behaviour... all relevant dependant on numbers if suddenly and artificially introduced close to a previously less volitile area , that people have chosen simply because it’s less volitile .. without the club and indeed fans planning for it
Of course if iits 8 youths bouncing around reinacting a scene from teletubbies no great issue ...grows to 300+ not quite the same
As I say not outrightly opposed , but if you believe it doesn’t need a degree of thinking about ..

I think we're being a bit too cynical here. It just sounds like a group of supporters who want to sit in the same part of the ground and sing a few songs. Fine by me, as long as there's no drums,clappers etc. Don't know how viable it is, but it would be great if they could be housed where the away fans are now. Always pissed me off that the away fans are the first supporters the teams see when they come out of the tunnel. Would be good if the opposition came out to a right bunch of angry bastards baying for blood 😂 They come out of the tunnel and see the family stand ahead of them, those mums and kids are baying for blood

I forgot that we have the double decker LCD advertising boards going around the pitch, now we must be able to Sync those into a sound and visual display ?

You must remember this is a club that: 1) took a picture of its new manager by the recycling bins 2) has on at least three occasions this season has either spelt the name of its players incorrectly in its team sheets posted on social media or announced in incorrect team (admittedly only the bench but still) And also we can’t even have WiFi and have to remember to go to the cash machine before a match or else starve to death Basically, I think I have two points 1) I would not fucking trust them with fireworks and 2) I feel like you might need to set your expectations a little lower 😂
