It’s not an ultras section. I agree, ultras are really gay. Hopefully everything won’t be wearing black. I don’t like the flags either. And to me it just isn’t very Stoke. The Bearpit thing was. That to me is what good Stoke support is. Good on ‘em and good luck to them but I would be taking the piss if it was another club. It’s a young mans game. Let the kids take the club forward

We enjoyed the games they sang at last year so fair play, if helps the atmosphere in family stand it’s a good thing for me

Not sitting back and moaning about the atmosphere, they’ve gone out and done something about it. Fair play to them. Ta mate! Answer a few questions: 1) We've got to keep promoting it and soon as we have enough numbers, which will take time we can slow down on the promotion side. 2) Personally, I don't like the Allez song - been done to death, but won't be able to do anything if say some people get one going. 3) We sang Oh When The Reds, very slow against Norwich City and stopped people from speeding it up for a good 10 minutes. Even when Norwich scored their second, we kept on with it and a few minutes later Edwards scored 4) Unita 1863 - as I'm sure everyone is aware taken from the club's and Stoke-on-Trent's motto - Vis Unita Fortior. Couldn't use the whole thing as it be shortened to VUF and sounds like Fail's VLF firm, So we decided on just using the Unita part. The reason behind this is that we hope we can be united/unite as a fan base again with the team and manager - hopefully the 19/20 season will see that happen! Just to finish off: if you believe that atmosphere should be completely dictated by the performance on the pitch, that's fine. But those who see it differently deserve a crack at something new - a more proactive, positive and persistent support. What harm can it do? If you want to join us for the start of next season, follow us on Twitter @unita1863 and read the statement that is pinned to the top of our page.

Great to see folk getting together to do something about the atmosphere down there instead of moaning about the lack of it.

Much needed injection of youth required on and off the pitch. Matchday should be about going to the game and having a laugh with your mates. Millennials need to be drawn to the club and this will help. Well done.

If anyone tries singing the allez song they'll find themselves at the bottom of block 36 head first 😁

My only request for that area, as they do it everytime, is never ever, ever, ever clap to oh when the reds. Stoke should never clap and speed up oh when the reds. Every other club that sings that song claps at the end. We don't Exactly. It should be sung low and slow like a male voice choir. We've done it before and it sounds awesome. For me the best and loudest one, especially at the end. Everyone in the stadium did it.

Can't stand both those songs myself - reminds me when every team was singing their own version to Just Can't Get Enough by Depeche Mode. Again, if people start singing those song then nowt I can do 😂 Anyone wanting to swap to our section and have a change to their match day experience and sing a few songs without getting strange looks...phone or visit the Ticket Office and swap your season card over.

We gave it a good go and when the rest of the South Stand joined in the place gets loud 👍...if you want sing a few songs with more like-minded fans and have a better match day experience - swap your current seat to our location for the 19/20 season or purchase a seat if this sort of thing will bring you back to home games. You can swap/purchase by either visiting the stadium or phoning the Ticket Office on (01782) 367599

Are the club making an official announcement regarding this? Pretty piss poor if they're not as you'd think they would want to encourage a better matchday atmosphere.

With Unita 1863 being a fan lead movement, we thought it be best that the club don't promote us and have a hands off approach that let's us flourish on our own or else it would most likely look 'plastic'. The club have been great with us through the meetings and phone calls we've had - Anthony Emmerson our Supporter Liaison Officer has done a fantastic job with helping us get this up and running.

Think you need to get more coverage ie Stoke Loud and proud, bear pit and the sentinel. The more like minded people you reach out to the better

I'm aiming for a good amount of people 😂 don't want say fully, but going off the amount of people I know personally who have swapped and off Twitter there seems to be a nice amount already. When/if we come to expand into other sections those avenues will be spoken to with the club. I'd love be at the the front row and we have the whole section all the way to the back of like-minded fans going berserk hahaha I'm sure when new players sign, we'll get people giving us their suggestions and a few will get sung for sure. Personally would like to have more songs about Stoke, so when players do leave we still have songs to sing about.

Bring back "Alouette" for starters ...and when the time comes for some nice redecoration of a wall or suchlike en route to The 365 with a bit of Pro Stoke/Unita graffiti....

Would look really cool. Good luck with it. I personally hate songs about other teams, a bit of banter v the opposition fine but when you hear fans singing about a local team they're not even playing but just my hang up You can't beat a wall of scarves for me
