United hey? Good lord no thought has gone in to it As stated earlier in the thread and I've expanded further on it: Unita is taken from the club’s and the city of Stoke-on-Trent's Latin motto 'Vis Unita Fortior' - 'United Strength is Stronger'. Everyone in the group deliberated using either Unita (united/unity) or Fortior (stronger), but after a democratic vote ‘Unita 1863’ was decided on. We see it as a word that is part of our history and even if we are not named ‘Stoke United’ - we are brought together in unity for our love and passion for Stoke City. Hopefully this is the beginning of a new united chapter for the fan base. We didn't want to just use Stoke 1863 (not very creative). If we used the whole motto it be shortened to VUF, which is very close to Vale's hooligan firm VLF - wanted stay well clear of that! Just to comment on the murals section: inside the concourse and outside the ground there is too much concrete (eg:- the wall by the new-ish corner), and nothing inspiring, we want to get murals - dedicated to Sir Stanley Matthews, Gordon Banks, Greenhoff, Stein, Fuller, etc. - this will make the place feel even more like home and inspire everyone around the ground. What you're doing is boss, keep it up.

Absolutely fantastic idea, and great that the club are quietly pushing it (opening the south stand later etc) without overloading you and making it all look corporate.
I look forward to hearing you tomorrow!
GOOOARN STOKE

Do you know if it's still possible to move seats? I'm in the South stand anyway, but wouldn't.mind being closer to the group. Yeah it can still be done mate, give em a buzz. It's free if you renewed on the early bird too. What's the block / seats numbers to be part of it? I will only get to use 10/15 geames of my season ticket

Block 36: Row 38 to Row 28 (off the top of my head).

The bar in the South East Corner (Block 36), will stay open for an hour after the game - all Stoke fans welcome. Enjoy a drink and some food, discuss the match and let the traffic die down. This is just the start of improving the match day experience. Thanks to Anthony Emmerson for sorting it out - credit to the club. Eventually there will be a playlist of songs playing and possibly a discount on the snappin' Cracking idea and the first of many hopefully! Still time to swap this morning?

I didn't see any banners or flags at the Bristol game. Has the movement died a death already?

Have to say that having had the same seat in the boothen since it opened, we chose to move so all of us friends who were dotted around the stadium could sit together and we love it in that part of the stadium!

I was thinking about this 1863 section at the match Saturday . I thought the idea was, to get people who want sing etc together . I've got say I sit in the boothen end and I haven't heard anything yet.

No magic wand to make it happen but those involved will keep trying.

If you watch the match replay on here you will hear and see where 95% of the noise is coming from... It's the corner 1863 and south stand

Cue a load of posts moaning about 'manufactured' atmospheres. 😉 I always thought the ticker tape at Argentina '78 looked amazing,if it were left to me there wouldn't be any toilet roll left in the wc's: it'd all be on the pitch......probably a good metaphor for how things are going.

I've got say I sit in the boothen end and I haven't heard anything yet. Funny that, I used to sit in the Boothen end and moved, so we could all sit together, and they do try to get things going and it is a good atmosphere, so far this season I haven't heard a peep from the Boothen end.

So what's your solution to improve the atmosphere? And why haven't you taken any initiative to improve it? At least the 1863 folks are trying to make the matchday experience a better one for all.

Please, no band. The continuous cacophony of the "great escape" at England games kills the atmosphere and frankly drives me to distraction! Other than that. Great idea, keep it up. Looks good to me from Q-Railing.

I think the flag must have blown down during the international break. When I got there on Saturday it was on the floor, but it's too high to just stand on a chair and put it back up.

What's awful about them then? They look shite like the woeful Palace ultras and every other hipster bunch trying to be different but being the same cringey thing. Such a lazy and unfounded criticism. Have you actually seen what the Palace ultras look like compared to the lads n lasses in the South East corner? Yours is a mindless comment. Freedom of speech is ace mate but it's a shame to waste it with such nonsense. Win games you say. Obviously ffs. So obvious you don't need to keep saying it. But even you have suggested previously atmosphere creation in a two way street. The folk in the corner are a diverse and humble bunch trying against hope to add a little bit more life to matchday. My 13 year old nephew and his mates love it in there. Beats the reactionary/ phone-obsessed/ IRA stuff they've found elsewhere. A far cry from the masked, military operation of those Holmesdale fanatics you've lumped them in with. Perhaps post less and think more?
